1. Implementing temporary IP access list entries for external collaboration

    TypeScript

    To implement temporary IP access list entries for external collaboration using Pulumi, you can manage an IP Access List in a cloud service such as MongoDB Atlas, which allows you to control access to your database clusters by IP address. Using the mongodbatlas.ProjectIpAccessList resource from the Pulumi MongoDB Atlas package, you can automate the process of adding and removing IP addresses from your access list.

    The following example demonstrates how you could define a Pulumi program that temporarily adds an IP address to the MongoDB Atlas Project IP Access List. This is useful when you want to grant temporary access for external collaboration purposes.

    Detailed Explanation

    Firstly, you need to set up Pulumi with the appropriate provider for MongoDB Atlas. In our case, we are going to use the mongodbatlas provider.

    We will create a new ProjectIpAccessList resource, where you need to specify:

    • projectId: The unique identifier of the MongoDB Atlas project.
    • ipAddress: The IP address you want to whitelist.
    • comment: A comment describing the purpose of the whitelist entry.

    This program will only create a new access list entry. You should implement additional logic (not shown here) to handle the temporary aspect, such as a way to remove the entry after a certain condition is met, like a timeout or a manual trigger, because Pulumi itself does not handle temporary resources natively.

    Here is how you implement this in code using Pulumi with TypeScript:

    import * as pulumi from '@pulumi/pulumi'; import * as mongodbatlas from '@pulumi/mongodbatlas'; // Create a new MongoDB Atlas Project IP Access List entry const accessListEntry = new mongodbatlas.ProjectIpAccessList("temporaryAccessListEntry", { // Replace '<Your-Project-Id>' with your actual project ID projectId: "<Your-Project-Id>", // Specify the IP address to be added to the access list ipAddress: "203.0.113.0", // Add a descriptive comment for why this entry is being added comment: "Temporary access for external collaboration", }); // Export the ID of the access list entry export const accessListEntryId = accessListEntry.id;

    In this code:

    • We import the required modules from Pulumi and the MongoDB Atlas package.
    • We create a new project IP access list entry with the specified parameters, such as the project ID, the IP address to whitelist, and a comment for clarity.
    • We then export the ID of the new IP access list entry. This could be useful in a larger system where you might need to reference this resource ID to update or delete it later.

    Keep in mind, this is a static entry and does not automatically expire. Implementing auto-removal or a temporary addition should be handled by your own application logic. Additionally, ensure that you have the MongoDB Atlas provider configured with the appropriate API keys and permissions for this operation to succeed.

    For additional information on using the MongoDB Atlas provider with Pulumi, refer to the documentation.
