Using Gcp Folder With Pulumi

Introduction

In this guide, we will create a Pulumi program to manage a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) folder. We will use TypeScript as the programming language, following the organization’s system prompts. The key service involved is the GCP Folder.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Step 1: Install Pulumi and GCP Provider

First, ensure you have Pulumi installed. If not, you can install it using the following command:

curl -fsSL https://get.pulumi.com | sh

Next, install the Pulumi GCP provider:

npm install @pulumi/gcp

Step 2: Create a New Pulumi Project

Create a new Pulumi project by running:

pulumi new typescript

Follow the prompts to set up your project.

Step 3: Define the GCP Folder

In your index.ts file, define the GCP folder resource. Here is an example:

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

const folder = new gcp.organizations.Folder("my-folder", {
    displayName: "My Folder",
    parent: "organizations/123456789",
});

Step 4: Deploy the Resources

Finally, deploy the resources using Pulumi:

pulumi up

This command will show you a preview of the changes and ask for confirmation to apply them.

Key Points

• Pulumi Installation: Ensure Pulumi is installed and set up with the GCP provider.
• Project Setup: Create and configure a new Pulumi project using TypeScript.
• Resource Definition: Define your GCP folder in the index.ts file.
• Deployment: Use pulumi up to deploy the resources and manage changes.

Conclusion

In this guide, we have demonstrated how to create and manage a GCP folder using Pulumi. We covered the installation of Pulumi and the GCP provider, setting up a new Pulumi project, defining the GCP folder, and deploying the resources. Pulumi makes it easy to manage cloud resources using familiar programming languages and tools.

Full Code Example

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

// Define the GCP folder resource
const folder = new gcp.organizations.Folder("my-folder", {
    displayName: "My Folder",
    parent: "organizations/123456789",
});
