@pulumi/pulumi
Advanced tools
@pulumi/pulumi is an infrastructure as code (IaC) tool that allows developers to define, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure using familiar programming languages like JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, and C#. It integrates with various cloud providers and services, enabling users to create, update, and manage cloud resources programmatically.
Defining Cloud Infrastructure
This feature allows you to define cloud infrastructure using code. In this example, an S3 bucket is created using the AWS provider.
const pulumi = require('@pulumi/pulumi');
const aws = require('@pulumi/aws');
const bucket = new aws.s3.Bucket('my-bucket');
exports.bucketName = bucket.id;Managing Infrastructure State
Pulumi manages the state of your infrastructure, allowing you to respond to changes. This example sets up an event handler for when a new object is created in the S3 bucket.
const pulumi = require('@pulumi/pulumi');
const aws = require('@pulumi/aws');
const bucket = new aws.s3.Bucket('my-bucket');
bucket.onObjectCreated('onNewObject', async (event) => {
console.log('New object created:', event);
});Multi-Cloud Deployments
Pulumi supports multi-cloud deployments, allowing you to manage resources across different cloud providers. This example shows how to create an S3 bucket in AWS and a storage account in Azure.
const pulumi = require('@pulumi/pulumi');
const aws = require('@pulumi/aws');
const azure = require('@pulumi/azure');
const awsBucket = new aws.s3.Bucket('aws-bucket');
const azureStorageAccount = new azure.storage.Account('azure-storage', {
resourceGroupName: 'my-resource-group',
accountTier: 'Standard',
accountReplicationType: 'LRS'
});Terraform by HashiCorp is another popular IaC tool that allows you to define and provision infrastructure using a declarative configuration language. Unlike Pulumi, which uses general-purpose programming languages, Terraform uses its own domain-specific language (HCL). Terraform has a large ecosystem and strong community support.
The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is an open-source software development framework to define cloud infrastructure in code and provision it through AWS CloudFormation. Similar to Pulumi, AWS CDK allows you to use familiar programming languages, but it is specific to AWS services.
The Serverless Framework is a tool for building and deploying serverless applications. It focuses on serverless architectures and supports multiple cloud providers. While it shares some similarities with Pulumi in terms of deployment and management, it is more specialized in serverless use cases.
The Pulumi Node.js SDK lets you write cloud programs in JavaScript.
Using npm:
$ npm install --save @pulumi/pulumi
Using yarn:
$ yarn add @pulumi/pulumi
This SDK is meant for use with the Pulumi CLI. Please visit pulumi.com for installation instructions.
For anybody who wants to build from source, here is how you do it.
This SDK uses Node.js and we support the Active LTS and Current releases, as defined by this table. We support both NPM and Yarn for package management.
At the moment, we only support building on macOS and Linux, where standard GNU tools like make are available.
The first time you build, run make ensure to install and prepare native plugins for V8:
$ make ensure
This is only necessary if you intend to produce a build that is capable of running older versions of the SDK
contained in this directory. If you do intend to do this, you must have node 6.10.2 installed.
To build the SDK, simply run make from the root directory (where this README lives, at sdk/nodejs/ from the repo's
root). This will build the code, run tests, and install the package and its supporting artifacts.
At the moment, for local development, we install everything into /opt/pulumi. You will want this on your $PATH.
The tests will verify that everything works, but feel free to try running pulumi preview and/or pulumi up from
the examples/minimal/ directory. Remember to run tsc first, since pulumi expects JavaScript, not TypeScript.
