This repository is intended to be used as a pulumi template to initialize an infrastructure-as-code folder in an application repository.
Go in the application folder where you want to initialize the infra code, then run:
mkdir infra && cd infra
pulumi new https://github.com/mleclercq/infra-typescriptYou will be asked a couple of questions as follow:
This command will walk you through creating a new Pulumi project.
Enter a value or leave blank to accept the (default), and press <ENTER>.
Press ^C at any time to quit.
project name: (infra) <<<- ENTER THE NAME OF THE APPLICATION HERE
project description: (My application infra) <<<- ENTER THE NAME OF THE APPLICATION HERE FOLLOWED BY dev
Created project 'YOUR APPLICATION'
Please enter your desired stack name.
To create a stack in an organization, use the format <org-name>/<stack-name> (e.g. `acmecorp/dev`).
stack name: (dev) <<<- KEEP DEFAULT VALUE, PRESS ENTER
Created stack 'dev'
kubernetes:context: Do not change me: (this-is-not-the-cluster-you-re-looking-for) <<<- KEEP DEFAULT VALUE, PRESS ENTER
Saved config
Note the
this-is-not-the-cluster-you-re-looking-forkubernetes:context is a way to make sure you do not create kubernetes resources on the wrong cluster.All Kubernetes resources managed by Pulumi should specify directly (with a
{ provider: ... }option) or indirectly (with a{ parent: this }option) on which Kubernetes cluster it should be deployed. With that setting, if you forget to specify one of these options, Pulumi will try to deploy the kubernetes resource on the 4E40 cluster whose context name isthis-is-not-the-cluster-you-re-looking-for(e.g. Pulumi will try to do something likekubectl --context this-is-not-the-cluster-you-re-looking-for apply -f ...) which will fail instead of creating a Kubernetes resource on whatever cluster your current kubernetes context points to.
