How do I build a GCP KMS KeyRing with Pulumi?

In this guide, we will create a Google Cloud KMS KeyRing using Pulumi. Google Cloud Key Management Service (KMS) allows you to manage cryptographic keys for your cloud services in a centralized manner. We’ll use Pulumi’s GCP package to define and deploy the KeyRing.

Steps:

1. Install Pulumi and configure GCP provider: Ensure you have Pulumi installed and configured to use your Google Cloud Platform account.
2. Define the KeyRing: Use Pulumi’s GCP package to create the KeyRing resource.

Key Points:

• We will create a KeyRing in a specified location.
• The KeyRing will be uniquely named within the project and location.

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

// Define the GCP project and location
const project = "my-gcp-project";
const location = "us-central1";

// Create a KMS KeyRing
const keyRing = new gcp.kms.KeyRing("my-keyring", {
    name: "my-keyring",
    project: project,
    location: location,
});

// Export the KeyRing name and location
export const keyRingName = keyRing.name;
export const keyRingLocation = keyRing.location;

Summary:

In this tutorial, we created a Google Cloud KMS KeyRing using Pulumi in TypeScript. We defined the project and location, created the KeyRing resource, and exported its name and location. This setup allows you to manage your cryptographic keys in a centralized and secure manner using Google Cloud KMS.
