Generate secure random passwords to use in deployments

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 random-yaml
$ cd pulumi-examples/random-yaml

The Random package provides resources with outputs that are random IDs, passwords, or other data.

Prerequisites#

1. Install Pulumi

Deploying the example#

1. Create a new stack:

   pulumi stack init dev

2. Install required plugins:

   pulumi plugin install resource random 4.3.1

3. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes. After the preview is shown you will be prompted if you want to continue or not.

   pulumi up

   Updating (dev)
   
        Type                            Name            Status
    +   pulumi:pulumi:Stack             random-dev      created
    +   └─ random:index:RandomPassword  randomPassword  created
   
   Outputs:
   password: "[secret]"
   
   Resources:
   + 2 created

4. To see the resources that were created, run pulumi stack output:

   pulumi stack output --show-secrets

   Current stack outputs (1):
       OUTPUT      VALUE
       password    ...

Cleaning up#

Once you’re finished experimenting, destroy your stack and remove it to avoid incurring any additional cost:

pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
