How do I set up Azure App Configuration with Pulumi?

In this guide, we will set up an Azure App Configuration store using Pulumi in TypeScript. Azure App Configuration is a service that provides centralized management and storage for application settings. This setup will include creating the configuration store and configuring its settings.

Key Points:

• Azure App Configuration Store: A centralized store for application settings.
• Pulumi: An infrastructure as code tool to manage cloud resources.
• TypeScript: The programming language used for writing the Pulumi script.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Install Pulumi and Azure-Native Provider: Ensure you have Pulumi installed and the Azure-Native provider configured.
2. Define the Configuration Store: Use Pulumi to define and create an Azure App Configuration store.
3. Configure Store Settings: Optionally, configure additional settings such as identity, encryption, and network access.

Below is the complete Pulumi program to set up an Azure App Configuration store:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azureNative from "@pulumi/azure-native";

// Define the resource group
const resourceGroup = new azureNative.resources.ResourceGroup("appConfigResourceGroup", {
    location: "WestUS",
});

// Create the App Configuration store
const appConfigStore = new azureNative.appconfiguration.ConfigurationStore("appConfigStore", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    location: resourceGroup.location,
    sku: {
        name: "Standard",
    },
    identity: {
        type: "SystemAssigned",
    },
    encryption: {
        keyVaultProperties: {
            keyIdentifier: "https://my-key-vault.vault.azure.net/keys/my-key",
            identityClientId: "<your-identity-client-id>",
        },
    },
    publicNetworkAccess: "Enabled",
    tags: {
        environment: "production",
    },
});

// Export the endpoint of the App Configuration store
export const endpoint = appConfigStore.endpoint;

Explanation:

• Resource Group: A container that holds related resources for an Azure solution. Here, we create a resource group named appConfigResourceGroup.
• App Configuration Store: The main resource being created, named appConfigStore. It is configured with a standard SKU, system-assigned identity, and optional encryption settings.
• Endpoint Export: We export the endpoint of the App Configuration store to use it in other applications or services.

Conclusion:

We have successfully set up an Azure App Configuration store using Pulumi in TypeScript. This setup includes creating a resource group, defining the configuration store, and configuring its settings. You can now use this configuration store to manage your application settings centrally.
