How do I build a random index with RandomPet in Pulumi?

In this guide, we will create a random index using the RandomPet resource in Pulumi. This resource generates a random pet name, which can be used as a unique identifier in your infrastructure.

Key Points

• We will use the RandomPet resource from the random provider.
• The RandomPet resource generates a random pet name.
• The generated name can be used as a unique identifier.

Code Explanation

The following Pulumi program defines a RandomPet resource that generates a random pet name. This name can be used as a unique identifier for various resources in your infrastructure.

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

// Create a random pet name
const randomPet = new random.RandomPet("myRandomPet", {
    length: 2,  // The length of the random pet name
});

// Export the generated pet name
export const petName = randomPet.id;

Summary

In this example, we used the RandomPet resource from the random provider to generate a random pet name. This name can be used as a unique identifier for various resources in your infrastructure. The generated name is exported as petName, which can be referenced in other parts of your Pulumi program.
