  2. Automating S3 Bucket Creation and Configuration with Pulumi

How do I automate S3 bucket creation and configuration with Pulumi?

In this example, we’ll walk through automating the creation and configuration of an S3 bucket using Pulumi. This includes setting up the bucket, configuring public access, enabling versioning, and setting up bucket policy.

We’ll be using Pulumi to define our infrastructure in a more intuitive way. Let’s get started!

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

const myBucket = new aws.s3.BucketV2("my_bucket", {
    bucket: "my-awesome-bucket",
    acl: "private",
    tags: {
        Environment: "Dev",
        Name: "MyBucket",
    },
});
// Enabling versioning for the S3 bucket
const versioning = new aws.s3.BucketVersioningV2("versioning", {
    bucket: myBucket.bucket,
    versioningConfiguration: {
        status: "Enabled",
    },
});
// Configure public access block for the S3 bucket
const publicAccess = new aws.s3.BucketPublicAccessBlock("public_access", {
    bucket: myBucket.bucket,
    blockPublicAcls: true,
    blockPublicPolicy: true,
    ignorePublicAcls: true,
    restrictPublicBuckets: true,
});
// Setting bucket policy to allow public read (optional, for demonstration)
const bucketPolicy = new aws.s3.BucketPolicy("bucket_policy", {
    bucket: myBucket.id,
    policy: pulumi.jsonStringify({
        Version: "2012-10-17",
        Statement: [{
            Action: ["s3:GetObject"],
            Effect: "Allow",
            Principal: "*",
            Resource: [pulumi.interpolate`${myBucket.arn}/*`],
        }],
    }),
});
export const bucketName = myBucket.bucket;
export const bucketEndpoint = myBucket.websiteEndpoint;

In this code, we accomplish the following:

  1. Create an S3 Bucket: We define an S3 bucket named “my-awesome-bucket” with private ACL and tags for organization.
  2. Enable Versioning: We enable versioning to keep multiple versions of objects in the bucket.
  3. Configure Public Access Block: We ensure the bucket’s public access is restricted for better security.
  4. Bucket Policy: We optionally set a policy to allow public read access to the bucket’s objects for demonstration purposes.
  5. Outputs: We capture and output the bucket name and endpoint for easy reference.

In conclusion, we’ve successfully automated the creation and configuration of an S3 bucket with Pulumi, including setting up necessary security measures and configurations.
