## TL;DR
| Concept | ELI5 summary | Notes |
| ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| [Project][projects] | Any folder that contains a `Pulumi.yaml` file | Collection of code |
| [Program][programs] | The code in a project | Defines resources |
| [Stack][stacks] | An isolated, independent instance of a _program_ | Has its own _configuration_ and _state_<br/>Usually defines an environment or branch |
| [Configuration][configurations] | The specific data used in a _stack_ | Each _stack_ has its own _configuration_ |
| [State][states] | Metadata about resources in a _stack_ | Each _stack_ has its own _state_ |
| [Backend][backends] | Storage place for one or more _projects_' sets of _states_ | |
When a stack is not explicitly requested in a command (`-s`, `--stack`), Pulumi defaults to the currently selected
one.<br/>
Projects (and hence stacks) [can be nested][monolith vs micro-stack].
Target single resources with `-t`, `--target`. Target also those that depend on them with `--target-dependents`.<br/>
Exclude single resources with `-e`, `--exclude`. Exclude also those that depend on them with `--exclude-dependents`.
Since v3.207.0, resources can be replaced together with others.<br/>
Refer [New in Pulumi IaC: `replaceWith` Resource Option].
Since v3.208.0, all CLI arguments can be set via environment variables by setting `PULUMI_OPTION_`-prefixed variables
followed by the capitalized snake case version of the argument name.<br/>
Boolean arguments can be set using either `true` and `false`, or `1` and `0`.<br/>
Other arguments (e.g. `--parallel`) do require specific types, and might fail if given string values.
Refer [All Pulumi CLI flags are now supported as environment variables].

| Variable | CLI flag |

- [Code examples]
- [Resources reference]
## Projects
Refer [Project][pulumi projects] for more and updated information.
Projects are collections of code.<br/>
Namely, they are the folders containing a `Pulumi.yaml` project file.<br/>
At runtime, the first parent folder starting from the current directory and containing a `Pulumi.yaml` file determines
the current project.
Projects are created with the `pulumi new` command:
```sh
# List available templates.
pulumi new -l
pulumi new --list-templates
# Create new projects in the current directory.
# Creates basic scaffolding files based on the specified cloud and language.
pulumi new
pulumi new 'aws-go' -d 'description' -n 'name'
pulumi new 'azure-python' --dir '.' -s 'stack' --name 'name'
pulumi new 'gcp-typescript' --description 'description' --stack 'stack'
pulumi new 'kubernetes-yaml' --generate-only
pulumi new 'oci-java'
```
## Programs
Programs are the the files containing the resources' definitions.<br/>
They are deployed into [stacks].
### Ignore changes
Add the [`ignoreChanges` option][ignorechanges] to the resource.
```ts
const resource = new.aws.s3.Bucket("bucket", {
}, {
ignoreChanges: [
"tags['last-deploy-at']"
"tags.CreatedBy"
"tagsAll"
]
});
```
Property names passed to `ignoreChanges` shall always be the _camelCase_ version of those property names.<br/>
E.g., specify the `nested_resource` property as `nestedResource`.<br/>
See also [Property Paths].
### Delete before replacing
Add the [`deleteBeforeReplace` option][deletebeforereplace] to the resource.
```ts
const cluster = new aws.eks.Cluster("cluster", {
}, {
deleteBeforeReplace: true
});
```
If a resource is assigned a static name, the `deleteBeforeReplace` option _should_ be enabled implicitly.
### Assign tags to resources by default
Read [Assigning tags by default on AWS with Pulumi] first to get an idea of pros and cons of the options, then pick one
(or both):
- Assign the wanted tags to the default provider in the stack's configuration file (`Pulumi.{stackName}.yaml`):
```yaml
config:
aws:defaultTags:
tags:
ManagedBy: "Pulumi",
Owner: "user@example.org",
Team: "Infra",
```
- Create a new provider with the wanted tags defined in it, then explicitly use that provider with all the resources
involved:
```ts
const customProvider = new aws.Provider(
"customProvider",
{
defaultTags: {
tags: {
ManagedBy: "Pulumi",
Owner: "user@example.org",
Team: "Infra",
},
},
},
);
const fargateProfile = new aws.eks.FargateProfile(
"fargateProfile",
{ … },
{
provider: customProvider,
},
);
```
### Outputs
TODO
### Policy enforcement
TODO
Refer [Automatically Enforcing AWS Resource Tagging Policies], [Get started with Pulumi policy as code] and
[How to Implement Robust Security Guardrails Using Policy as Code].
## Stacks
Refer [Stack][pulumi stack] for more and updated information.
Single isolated, independent instance of a [program][programs].<br/>
Each stack has its own separate set of configuration and secrets, role-based access controls (RBAC), policies and
resources.
The stack name can be specified in one of these formats:
- `stackName`: identifies the stack named `stackName` in the current user account or default organization.<br/>
Its [project][projects] is specified by the nearest `Pulumi.yaml` project file.
- `orgName/stackName`: identifies the stack named `stackName` in the organization named `orgName`<br/>
Its [project][projects] is specified by the nearest `Pulumi.yaml` project file.
- `orgName/projectName/stackName`: identifies the stack named `stackName` for the project named `projectName` in the
organization named `orgName`.<br/>
`projectName` must match the project specified by the nearest `Pulumi.yaml` project file.
For self-managed [backends], the `orgName` portion of the stack name must always be the constant string value
`organization`.
### Monolith vs micro-stack
Refer [Organizing pulumi projects & stacks] for more and updated information.
Monoliths are single, big projects defining all the resources (infrastructure, application, others) for an entire set of
services.<br/>
A monolith typically maps to a distinct environment (production, staging, …) or instance of the set of service it
defines:
```txt
monolith/
├── Pulumi.yaml
├── Pulumi.dev.yaml
├── Pulumi.prod.yaml
└── index.ts
```
Micro-stacks are obtained when one or more monoliths are broken into smaller, separately managed projects, where each
smaller project has its own subsets of resources, environments etc:
```txt
microProj/
├── sharedInfrastructure/
│ ├── Pulumi.yaml
│ ├── Pulumi.dev.yaml
│ ├── Pulumi.prod.yaml
│ ├── index.ts
│ └── networking/
│ ├── Pulumi.yaml
│ ├── Pulumi.all.yaml
│ └── index.java
├── payments/
│ ├── Pulumi.yml
│ ├── Pulumi.main.yml
│ ├── Pulumi.develop.yml
│ └── index.py
└── app/
├── Pulumi.yaml
├── Pulumi.trunk.yml
├── Pulumi.prod.yml
└── index.go
```
Micro-stacks usually rely upon [stack references] to link resources together:
```ts
const nested = new pulumi.StackReference("organization/nested/dev");
const eks = nested.getOutput("eks");
```
All involved stacks must be stored in the same backend for them to be able to find the correct [stack references]:
```txt
$ # Only showing files of interest
$ tree
root/
├── infra/
│ ├── Pulumi.yaml ───> backend.url: "file://.."
│ └── index.ts ───> export const eks = eks_cluster;
├── app/
│ ├── Pulumi.yaml ───> backend.url: "file://.."
│ └── index.ts ┬──> const infraStack = new pulumi.StackReference(`organization/infra/${env}`);
│ └──> const eks = infraStack.getOutput("eks");
└── .pulumi/
└── stacks/
├── infra/…
└── app/…
```
### States
Refer [State][pulumi state] for more and updated information.
Every [Stack][stacks] has its own state.
States are stored in transactional snapshots called _checkpoints_ and are saved as JSON files.<br/>
Pulumi records checkpoints early and often, so that it can execute similarly to how database transactions work.<br/>
Checkpoints are stored in the stack's [backend][backends], under the `.pulumi/stacks/{project.name}` folder.
### Configurations
TODO
## Backends
Refer [State][pulumi state] for more and updated information.
> Pulumi is designed to use only a single backend at a time.
The default backend is Pulumi Cloud.<br/>
Change it by:
- Specifying the new backend in the login command:
```sh
pulumi login 's3://myBucket/prefix'
```
- Setting up the related environment variable:
```sh
export PULUMI_BACKEND_URL="file://."
```
- [Enforcing the new backend in the project's `Pulumi.yaml` file][enforce specific backends for projects].
The Pulumi Cloud backend records every checkpoint to allow to recover from exotic failure scenarios.<br/>
Self-managed backends may have more trouble recovering from these situations, as they typically store a single state
file instead.
Backends store the states of one or more [stacks], divided by [project][projects].
Everything **but** the credentials for the backend (`~/.pulumi/credentials.json`) is stored in the backend's root
directory, under the `.pulumi` folder:
```sh

### Enforce specific backends for projects
Set the projects' `backend.url` property in their `Pulumi.yaml` file:
```sh
yq -iy '. += {"backend": {"url": "s3://myBucket"}}' 'Pulumi.yaml'
```
```yaml
name: my-proj
backend:
url: s3://myBucket
```
### Migrate to different backends
1. Get to the current backend:
```sh
pulumi login
pulumi whoami -v
```
1. Select the stack to export:
```sh
pulumi stack select 'superbros-galaxy2/mario'
```
1. Export the stack's state to file:
```sh
pulumi stack export --show-secrets --file 'mario.stack.json'
```
1. Logout from the current backend, and login to the new one:
```sh
pulumi logout
pulumi login 's3://super-bros/galaxy2'
pulumi whoami -v
```
1. Create a new stack with the same name on the new backend:
```sh
pulumi stack init 'mario'
```
1. Import the existing state into the new backend:
```sh
pulumi stack import --file 'mario.stack.json'
```
1. Check the secrets provider and the key are fine:
```sh
cat 'Pulumi.mario.yaml'
```
## Composing resources
FIXME: should this be under [Programs]?
Refer [Component resources] and [Create a ComponentResource].
Logical grouping of resources.<br/>
Usually leveraged to instantiate a set of related resources, aggregate them as children, and create larger abstractions
that encapsulate their implementation details.
Component resources only package a set of other resources.<br/>
To have full control over resources' lifecycles in a Component, including running code upon updates or deletion, use
_dynamic providers_ instead.
Refer [Pulumi Crosswalk for AWS] or [Google Cloud Static Website] as examples.
<details>
<summary>Procedure</summary>
1. Create a subclass of `ComponentResource`.
<details style="padding: 0 0 1em 1em">
```ts
class StandardAwsVpc extends pulumi.ComponentResource {};
```
</details>
1. Declare the types of resources one wants to export from the class.
<details style="padding: 0 0 1rem 1rem">
```ts
class StandardAwsVpc extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
internetGateway: aws.ec2.InternetGateway
vpc: aws.ec2.Vpc
};
```
</details>
1. Inside its constructor, chain to the base constructor and pass it the subclass' name, arguments, and options.
Upon creation of a new instance of the Component, the call to the base constructor registers the instance with the
Pulumi engine. This records the resource's state and tracks it across deployments, allowing to see differences during
updates just like any regular resource.
All resources must have a name, so Components' constructors must accept one and pass it up.<br/>
Components must also register a unique _type name_ with the base constructor. These names are namespaced alongside
non-Component resources such as `aws:lambda:Function`.
<details style="padding: 0 0 1rem 1rem">
```ts
class StandardAwsVpc extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
constructor(name: string, args: pulumi.Inputs, opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
super("exampleOrg:StandardAwsVpc", name, {}, opts);
};
};
```
</details>
1. Inside the subclass' constructor again, create any child resources.<br/>
Pass them the `parent` resource option to ensure the children are parented correctly.
<details style="padding: 0 0 1em 1em">
```ts
class StandardAwsVpc extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
constructor(name: string, args: pulumi.Inputs, opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
this.vpc = new aws.ec2.Vpc(
`${name}`,
{ … },
{ parent: this },
);
this.internetGateway = new aws.ec2.InternetGateway(
`${name}`,
{
vpcId: vpc.id,
},
{ parent: vpc },
);
};
};
```
</details>
1. Inside the subclass' constructor once more, define the Component's own output properties with the `registerOutputs()`
function.<br/>
Pulumi's engine uses it display the logical outputs of the Component resource, and any changes to those outputs will
be shown during an update.
<details style="padding: 0 0 1em 1em">
```ts
class StandardAwsVpc extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
constructor(name: string, args: pulumi.Inputs, opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
this.registerOutputs({
vpcId: this.vpc.id,
});
};
};
```
</details>
1. Create new instances of the Component resource in the code.
<details style="padding: 0 0 1em 1em">
```ts
class StandardAwsVpc extends pulumi.ComponentResource { … };
const currentVpc = new StandardAwsVpc(
"currentVpc",
{ cidrBlock: "172.31.0.0/16" },
{ protect: true },
);
```
</details>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Example: standardized AWS VPC</summary>

```ts
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";
export class StandardAwsVpc extends pulumi.ComponentResource {

Action: 'sts:AssumeRole',
}],
}),
},
);
serviceRole.assumeRole.iamPolicy.name.apply(policyName => console.log(policyName));
```
</details>
## Importing resources
FIXME: should this be under [Programs] or [Stacks]?
Existing resources can be imported in Pulumi's states for Pulumi to manage.
This is different from _referencing_ an existing resource in that:
- A _referenced_ existing resource is effectively ReadOnly for the program.
- An _imported_ existing resource is **managed** by the program.<br/>
This means that the `destroy` command **will** try to destroy it.
Refer [Importing resources] and the [`pulumi import`][pulumi import] command.
The import process uses the selected stack's configured provider to look up the desired resource in the cloud provider,
read its current configuration, and add the resource to the stack's state.<br/>
This requires:
- The _type_ of resource to import, either as a _type token_ (a string that uniquely identifies a Pulumi resource type)
or as a _resource declaration_ (in code).
- The _name_ and _value_ of the property to use for the resource lookup.<br/>
Lookup properties vary by resource.
One can import existing resources:
- With the [`pulumi import`][pulumi import] CLI command.<br/>
It imports the resource into the currently selected stack's state, and generates code for one to add to one's program.
When needing to bulk import multiple resources, the CLI command can be used with a JSON file that contains references
to the desired existing resources.
<details style="padding: 0 0 1em 1em">
<summary>Examples</summary>
```sh
pulumi import --file 'import.json'
pulumi import 'aws:ec2/instance:Instance' 'logstash' 'i-abcdef0123456789a' --suppress-outputs
pulumi import 'aws:cloudwatch/logGroup:LogGroup' 'vulcan' '/ecs/vulcan' --generate-code='false' --protect='false'
pulumi import 'aws:ec2/subnet:Subnet' 'public_subnet' 'subnet-9d4a7b6c' --parent 'current=urn:pulumi:someStack::someProject::aws:ec2/vpc:Vpc::current'
```
</details>
- In code, with the `import` resource option.<br/>
One needs to supply it as a property on a resource declaration that one writes into one's program oneself.
The two approaches work in slightly different ways, and are suited to slightly different use cases.
### Import components and their children
The best and usually easier solution is to create an import file for the resources that would be created, then import
them in block using `pulumi import --file 'import.json'`.<br/>
Simplify the process by leveraging the `--import-file` option of the [`preview`][pulumi preview] command.
<details style='padding: 0 0 1rem 1rem'>
1. Write some code that would create the components:
```ts
import * as awsx from "@pulumi/awsx";
const vpc = new awsx.ec2.Vpc("current");
export const vpcId = vpc.vpcId;
export const privateSubnetIds = vpc.privateSubnetIds;
export const publicSubnetIds = vpc.publicSubnetIds;
```
1. Generate a placeholder import file for the resources that would be created:
```sh
pulumi preview --import-file 'import.json'
```
```json
{
"resources": [
{
"type": "awsx:ec2:Vpc",
"name": "current",
"component": true
},
{
"type": "aws:ec2/vpc:Vpc",
"name": "currentVpc",
"id": "<PLACEHOLDER>",
"parent": "current",
"version": "6.66.3",
"logicalName": "current"
},
{
"type": "aws:ec2/subnet:Subnet",
"name": "current-public-1",
"id": "<PLACEHOLDER>",
"parent": "currentVpc",
"version": "6.66.3"
},
}
```
1. Change the IDs in the import file accordingly:
```diff
{
"resources": [
{
"type": "awsx:ec2:Vpc",
"name": "current",
"component": true
},
{
"type": "aws:ec2/vpc:Vpc",
"name": "currentVpc",
- "id": "<PLACEHOLDER>",
+ "id": "vpc-abcdef26",
"parent": "current",
"version": "6.66.3",
"logicalName": "current"
},
{
"type": "aws:ec2/subnet:Subnet",
"name": "current-public-1",
- "id": "<PLACEHOLDER>",
+ "id": "subnet-0123456789abcdef0",
"parent": "currentVpc",
"version": "6.66.3"
},
}
```
1. Import using the import file:
```sh
pulumi import --file 'import.json'
```
</details>
A manual alternative is to create the parent component, then import each child in the order they would be created by
using `pulumi import --parent …`.
<details style='padding: 0 0 1rem 1rem'>
```sh
$ pulumi preview
Previewing update (dev):
Type Name Plan Info
pulumi:pulumi:Stack someProj-dev 1 message
+ └─ someOrg:StandardSnowflakeServiceAccount n8n create
+ └─ snowflake:index:ServiceUser n8n create
+ └─ snowflake:index:UserProgrammaticAccessToken n8n create
Resources:
+ 3 to create
```
1. Create only the component resource:
```sh
pulumi up --suppress-outputs --target 'urn:pulumi:dev::someProj::someOrg:SnowflakeServiceAccount::n8n'
```
1. Import the component's direct children:
```sh
pulumi import 'snowflake:index/serviceUser:ServiceUser' 'n8n' 'N8N' \
--parent 'urn:pulumi:dev::someProj::someOrg:SnowflakeServiceAccount::n8n'
```
1. Import children of lower order:
```sh
pulumi import 'snowflake:index/userProgrammaticAccessToken:UserProgrammaticAccessToken' \
'n8n' 'N8N_SERVICE_USER|N8N_SERVICE_PAT' \
--parent 'urn:pulumi:dev::someProj::someOrg:SnowflakeServiceAccount$snowflake:index/serviceUser:ServiceUser::n8n'
```

## Pulumi Cloud
### ESC
Environments, Secrets, and Configuration.
Integrates with most popular secrets stores to pull and synchronize secrets and configuration data.
Refer [Pulumi ESC][pulumi esc docs] for more and updated information.
> [!important]
> ESC is currently provided **exclusively** as part of Pulumi Cloud. One **will** need to create a Pulumi account to be
> able to use it.
### IDP
Internal Developer Platform.
Allows defining building blocks using [components][composing resources] and templates, enabling developers to provision
infrastructure resources in the way that best suits them.<br/>
Developers can write Pulumi programs in their preferred programming language, scaffold components using low-code YAML
templates, or deploy no-code programs from the Pulumi console.
Refer [Pulumi IDP][pulumi idp docs] for more and updated information.
> [!important]
> IDP is currently provided **exclusively** as part of the Enterprise tier of Pulumi Cloud. One **will** need to create
> a Pulumi account to be able to use it.
## Troubleshooting
### A project with the same name already exists
Context: during project creation, Pulumi issues a warning saying that a project with the same name already exists.
Error message example:
> A project with the name infra already exists.
Root cause: Pulumi found a project with the same name saved in the backend.
Solution: Continue using the name if you are repurposing the project. Consider using a different name otherwise.
### Assume role with MFA enabled but AssumeRoleTokenProvider session option not set
Context:
- Pulumi is used to manage resources in AWS.
- The user running Pulumi must assume an IAM Role.
- The IAM Role _could_ require the user to be logged in with MFA.
Error message example:
> error: unable to open bucket s3://example-org-infra/pulumi: open bucket s3://example-org-infra/pulumi: couldn't create
> session AssumeRoleTokenProviderNotSetError: assume role with MFA enabled, but AssumeRoleTokenProvider session option
> not set.
Root cause: As of 2025-06-03, Pulumi seems to be unable to prompt the user for MFA tokens while assuming AWS IAM Roles.
Refer [pulumi-aws/issues/1366].
Short term solutions:
- Get temporary session credentials manually via AWS CLI, then export the resulting `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`,
`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` and `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` environment variables.<br/>
Only then, run Pulumi.
Refer [Use the AWS CLI with MFA to authenticate].
- Configure the AWS CLI to **not** use MFA, should the Role **not _require_** it.
### Attempting to deploy or update resources with pending operations from previous deployment
Also see [Enable pulumi refresh to solve pending creates].
Context: one gets this kind of warning during an `update` action.
Warning message example:
> ```plaintext
> Diagnostics:
> pulumi:pulumi:Stack (iam-internal-dev):
> warning: Attempting to deploy or update resources with 19 pending operations from previous deployment.
> * urn:pulumi:dev::iam-internal::aws:iam/userPolicyAttachment:UserPolicyAttachment::AllowUserSetupMfa-to-jonathan, interrupted while creating
> * …
> * urn:pulumi:dev::iam-internal::aws:iam/groupPolicyAttachment:GroupPolicyAttachment::amazonReadOnlyAccess-to-engineers, interrupted while creating
> These resources are in an unknown state because the Pulumi CLI was interrupted while waiting for changes to these resources to complete. You should confirm whether or not the operations listed completed successfully by checking the state of the appropriate provider. For example, if you are using AWS, you can confirm using the AWS Console.
>
> Once you have confirmed the status of the interrupted operations, you can repair your stack using `pulumi refresh` which will refresh the state from the provider you are using and clear the pending operations if there are any.
>
> Note that `pulumi refresh` will need to be run interactively to clear pending CREATE operations.
> ```
Solution: follow the suggestion in the warning message:
1. Run `pulumi refresh` interactively.
1. Choose to clear the pending operations if the resource is created, or other options depending on the outcome.
### Change your program back to the original providers
Context: Typescript project, `preview` or `update` action.
Error message example:
> error: provider
> urn:pulumi:dev::projectName::pulumi:providers:aws::default_6_29_0::159e5843-63ae-4789-b332-4658578ba34c for resource
> urn:pulumi:dev::projectName::aws:ec2/instance:Instance::instanceName has not been registered yet, this is due to a
> change of providers mixed with --target. Change your program back to the original providers
Root cause: one is using a different provider version than the one the resource has been created with.
Solution:
1. Get the provider version the resource wants from the run output.
1. Fix the provider's version to the one wanted by the resource.
1. Run `pulumi install` to gather the required version.
1. Try the action again now.
### RangeError: Invalid string length
Error message example:
```plaintext
Diagnostics:
pulumi:pulumi:Stack (someStack-dev):
error: Running program '/path/to/pulumi/project/index.ts' failed with an unhandled exception:
RangeError: Invalid string length
at markNodeModules (node:internal/util/inspect:1601:21)

at formatValue (node:internal/util/inspect:932:10)
at Object.inspect (node:internal/util/inspect:409:10)
at process.uncaughtHandler (/path/to/pulumi/project/node_modules/@pulumi/cmd/run/run.ts:302:48)
at process.emit (node:events:520:35)

at process.emit (/path/to/pulumi/project/node_modules/source-map-support/source-map-support.js:516:21)
at emitUnhandledRejection (node:internal/process/promises:252:13)
error: an unhandled error occurred: Program exited with non-zero exit code: 1
```
Root cause: something is wrong in the stack's configuration; most likely, the code tries to load a key from it and fails
because it is missing in the file.
Solution: add all required missing keys to the stack's configuration file.
</details>
### Stack init fails because the stack supposedly already exists
Context: a stack fails to initialize.
Error message example:
> Sorry, could not create stack 'dev': stack 'organization/infra/dev' already exists
Root cause: Pulumi found a stack with the same name saved in the backend.
Solution: Delete the residual files for the stack from the backend and retry.
### Stack init fails due to missing scheme
Context: a stack fails to initialize.
Error message example:
> Sorry, could not create stack 'dev': open secrets.Keeper: no scheme in URL "awskms"
Root cause: the secrets provider is set to use a KMS key, but one did not provide any key identifier.
Solution: Read [secrets], and fix the configuration by providing a key identifier.
### Stack init fails due to invalid key identifier
Context: a stack fails to initialize.
Error message example:
> Sorry, could not create stack 'dev': unable to parse the secrets provider URL: parse
> "awskms://arn:aws:kms:eu-east-2:123456789012:key/aaaabbbb-cccc-dddd-eeee-ffff00001111": invalid port ":key" after host
Root cause: the secrets provider is set to use a KMS key, but one did not provide a correct key identifier.
Solution: Read [secrets], and fix the configuration by providing a correct key identifier.
