Question

For context I m generating a yaml file with a list of existing AWS resources then I want to import the resources defined in the yaml file if they don t already exist in the pulumi state If they do exist I just want to manage them as an existing pulumi resource I feel like I m possibly missing something obvious but I can t seem to figure out how to inspect the stack resources in a python script

Hi < broad morning 80838> gt Is there a way to get a list of resources in the stack with python Something equivalent to `pulumi stack show urns` I d go with `pulumi stack export` gt the yaml config will be used for creating new resource Did you know that Pulumi has a yaml backend

Hi < clever painter 96148> thanks for the response I was hoping to do it directly inside of a python script without shelling out and parsing cli output I d assumed something like `pulumi stack list resources ` existed but so far haven t found anything

broad-morning-80838 · Answer

I have looked at the yaml backend In my case I m using a single yaml file for a few different things so I didn t want to necessarily adhere to the yaml format required for pulumi YAML

broad-morning-80838 · Answer

Looks like I can just subprocess `pulumi stack export` and make things work that way for now

You can do this using the automation api pulumi automation select stack foo export stack

Just starting with it and I already love it grin

< clever painter 96148> sorry hopefully last question Have you used `export stack` to get a list of resources in the stack I m not sure how to use the type `pulumi automation workspace Deployment`

broad-morning-80838 · Answer

I see that you can use it to import state back into the stack but in my case I m hoping to use it to conditionally either import resources that don t exist in the stack but do exist in AWS or create update resources that are net new in my config file Ultimately I m trying to use this yaml config to drive the management of these resources but since many of them exist in AWS already and I m trying to bring them under management I need to handle those resources differently than resources created in the future with this program

For example here is how to get URNs ``` gt gt gt from pulumi automation import select stack gt gt gt deployment=select stack dev work dir= export stack deployment gt gt gt urns= r urn for r in deployment resources ```

Ah ` deployment` is what I was missing Thanks a million < clever painter 96148>
