Pulumi is frequently used to manage the entire lifecycle of a resource, from creation, to updates, to replacement, to deletion. However, there are some cases where it is important to ensure that a resource’s life can extend beyond the lifetime of the Pulumi program that created it. To support these use cases, Pulumi now supports a new resource option RetainOnDelete which allows a resource to be retained in a cloud provider even after it is deleted from the Pulumi stack it is part of.

Pulumi’s previews are an important part of any workflow where you want to see the changes that will be made to your infrastructure before actually making the changes (with pulumi up). However, today there is no guarantee that the pulumi up operation will do only what was previewed; if the program, or your infrastructure, changes between the preview and the update, the update might make additional changes to bring your infrastructure back in line with what’s defined in your program. We’ve heard from many of you that you need a strong guarantee about exactly which changes an update will make to your infrastructure, especially in critical and production environments.

Back in September 2021 we announced public preview for the Helm Release resource in Pulumi’s Kubernetes provider. Over the last few months, we have had a very encouraging uptake in usage and several meaningful discussions with users in the community that have helped shape improvements to this resource. Thanks to this collaboration, we are now pleased to announce that the Helm Release resource is now GA (generally available) starting in v3.15.0 of the Pulumi Kubernetes Provider and SDK in all Pulumi supported languages. We are excited to offer yet another tool to Pulumi users to effectively manage their Kubernetes footprint.

We recently announced in our release blog (66) a new package: Command. In this article, I want to show you a practical application of this that will allow us to deploy k3s to a DigitalOcean Kubernetes droplet. We’ll then leverage the Command package to run a remote command to fetch the kubeconfig, generated on the VM, and pull it down to create a Kubernetes provider to deploy nginx.

So, let’s get started by deploying our DigitalOcean droplet.

As a reader of this blog, you’ve probably heard of the Pulumi Service, the default state-management backend of the Pulumi CLI, and if that’s the case, there’s a good chance you’ve also heard of many of its key features. But did you know we’re adding new features to the Service all the time—some of which are incredibly easy to miss? In this post, we’ll highlight a few of those lesser-known features that we think make it even easier to manage your infrastructure with Pulumi.
