What is the best way of creating local files after Pulumi has deployed successfully?
ended up writing my own provider to solve this issue. If there is any better solutions. Let me know
s
You can use the Command provider and set 
dependsOn
to the last thing to be provisioned. https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/command/api-docs/local/command/
l
writing multiline strings with command is a bit iffy tho. unless there is something i missed?
s
Hmm. Maybe the Automation API would be a better fit?
l
might be... But like. How would one write a kubeconfig etc to local file system? Just to give a random example of a local file that depends on cloud resources
s
pulumi stack output kubeconfig --show-secrets > kubeconfig.yaml
l
ah. manual step. gotcha
s
BUT, if you're using the Pulumi K8s provider, you can just feed it into the provider (this is C# and AKS, but you should be able to translate for your lang/cloud):
Copy code
var creds = AzureNative.ContainerService.ListManagedClusterUserCredentials.Invoke(new() {
    ResourceGroupName = resourceGroup.Name,
    ResourceName = managedCluster.Name,
});
var encoded = creds.Apply(result => result.Kubeconfigs[0]!.Value);
var decoded = encoded.Apply(enc => {
    var bytes = Convert.FromBase64String(enc);
    return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);
});

var provider = new Provider("k8s", new ProviderArgs {
  KubeConfig = decoded
});

// create K8s resources here
If you want to orchestrate, you could use Make for sure.
l
Yeah. Just using kubeconfig as an example. Make as in? Makefile?
s
Yeah. You can automate the commands to run after 
pulumi up
l
ah gotcha!
s
You will need to use a pseudotarget since 
pulumi up
does not create a file, but you could do something like 
pulumi up -y && touch .make/pulumiup
or just use 
.PHONY
and run 
pulumi up
every time.
l
I assume outputs can store arrays?
s
Yes. You can do 
Output<string[]>
or 
Output<string>[]
. I believe the former is preferred.

@lively-pizza-96645 I copy this design but don't use the k8 provider but it might have examples of what you're looking for https://github.com/gitfool/Pulumi.Dungeon
