Pulumi Community

<@U03JRCQJA4U> yes there is. Do have a look at Pulumi Packages: <https://www.pulumi.com/blog/pulumiup-pulumi-packages-multi-language-components/>
Once you build your abstractions as a Pulumi Package, these can be consumed in any language, including YAML.

Here is one example: EKS package is <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-eks/blob/master/nodejs/eks/cluster.ts|defined in TypeScript> and <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-yaml/blob/main/examples/aws-eks/Pulumi.yaml#L19-L26|used in YAML>

oh, awesome. I don’t know why I was under the impression that wasn’t possible.

is there any info about producing private components, when they’re company-specific?

<@U03JRCQJA4U> you only need to publish the generated packages in a private package repository and you are all set.

how does the pulumi yaml program know where the published packages are? that’s what I’m missing

<@U01SX9Z1412> Looking in the README of one of the YAML examples, it looks like you have to manually install the plugins before running Pulumi:
<https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/aws-yaml-static-website>

Oh, I don’t think the manual installation is required anymore. Pulumi should install the latest plugin version by default based on the types of your YAML resources.

How does it know where to download the plugin binary from? For instance, how does it know where to look for the pulumiverse/pulumi-astra plugin binary? (Our first published Pulumiverse provider BTW)

That’s a good question - I suspect it defaults to `pulumi` org when searching for a plugin. You would have to specify `pluginDownloadURL` for non-pulumi ones.

Can I specify `pluginDownloadURL` in my YAML program?
