Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template

This example lives in the pulumi/examples repository. Check out just this directory to use it:

$ git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
$ git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set classic-azure-py-arm-template
$ cd pulumi-examples/classic-azure-py-arm-template

This example simply deploys an existing Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template using Pulumi. This accepts any existing valid ARM template, enabling easy migration from existing JSON templates and towards infrastructure as code using Pulumi. Once deployed, it is easy to incrementally refactor resources at a time out of the template and into code.

Prerequisites#

1. Install Pulumi
2. Configure Azure credentials
3. Install Python

Deploying the example#

1. Create a new stack:

   pulumi stack init

2. Set the required configuration variables for this program, and log into Azure:

   pulumi config set azure:environment public
   pulumi config set azure:location westus2
   pulumi config set azure:subscriptionId <YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_ID>
   az login

3. Install dependencies:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Perform the deployment:

   pulumi up

   Updating stack 'azure-arm-dev'
   Performing changes:
   
        Type                                           Name                      Status
    +   pulumi:pulumi:Stack                            azure-arm--azure-arm-dev  created
    +   ├─ azure:core:ResourceGroup                    rg                        created
    +   └─ azure:core:ResourceGroupTemplateDeployment  arm-dep                   created
   
   Outputs:
       storageAccountName: "abevrwebgje2wstorage"
   
   Resources:
       + 3 created
   
   Duration: 1m8s

   Notice here that the storageAccountName allocated by the ARM template deployment is exported.

Cleaning up#

Once you are done, destroy all of the resources and the stack:

pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
