How are people uploading static sites [to s3 but pretty general problem] via pulumi which don't end up costing.. thousands of credits because the documented examples all use a BucketObject resource per file? I'm hoping someone has shared some component resource which does an s3 sync under the hood.

have you considered using Docker?

I can't find it now, unfortunately, but a community user wrote a dynamic provider that would "throw files in s3" and was a single resource, I'll try track it down

Similarly to the script idea mentioned, we leverage the

aws

cli, because the

sync

command is great:

aws s3 sync ./static-site s3://$(pulumi stack output contentFilesBucketId) --delete

You could also try leveraging the command provider, so you can use

aws s3 sync

as one resource within pulumi

Ah, @billowy-army-68599, I think I found the one you're talking about: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wanews/pulumi-throw-files-in-s3

that's the one! great find!

Great, thanks all 🙂

That would be the route I would go for now. The Command provider is still in preview and may be missing some functionality that would make sense for general use; if you think it's a good feature, it would be great if you'd add an issue on the repo! https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-command/issues
