I'm building an ecs cluster and attempting to declare subnets I have 3 public and 3 private subnets under 2 different variables is there a way to include both under subnets = or does leaving that key out automatically select all

Clusters are unrelated to subnets. Where are you trying to declare subnets?

I'm using the pulumi documents to build it and they have a subnets key in there let me show you the code

my_HNO_cluster = aws.ecs.Cluster("my_HNO_cluster")
my_HNO_cluster = my_HNO_cluster.arn
network_configuration = aws.ecs.ServiceNetworkConfigurationArgs(
		subnets= priv_subnets,
		subnets= pub_subnets,
		security_groups = [sg.id],
),
desired_count = 1

Ah. You can't use the same key twice. Just create a collection with the contents of both priv_subnets and pub_subnets.

that's the part of this I don't know how to do, I'm very new to Pulumi and just kinda stumbling through documentation to do this

This is unrelated to Pulumi. It's just Python. Use "+".

o ok I thought it was Pulumi specific

Concatenating collections is normal Python stuff.

subnets takes a list:

subnets=[]

So instead of defining subnets twice:

subnets=
subnets=

just do

subnets= priv_subnets + pub_subnets

awesome thank you

Ask any time! You may also want to check out #python for language-specific help.

thank you and thank you for the help. I've been a sys admin for 15yrs and never touched automation so trying to move into DevOps has been enlightening this stuff is so much fun and just fascinating it's like a whole new world to me

we’re here to help! if it’s any comfort, I was a sysadmin for 15 years and now I write pulumi all day 🙂

nice well I hope one day to be where you are. I did a little terraform before this and Pulumi just seems to be lightyears ahead of it

I've been a dev for 30 years and you are right. Pulumi is lightyears ahead.

every time I was manic I wanted to learn coding and I would get into it for about 2wks and then drop it when the novelty wore off. I think that's the draw to devops for me is that there's so much coding and I'm still not great at it but now that I'm mostly unfucked mentally I've really been enjoying writing code.
