pulumi env | CLI commands

Manage environments

Synopsis

Manage environments

An environment is a named collection of possibly-secret, possibly-dynamic data. Each environment has a definition and may be opened in order to access its contents. Opening an environment may involve generating new dynamic data.

To begin working with environments, run the env init command:

env init

This will prompt you to create a new environment to hold secrets and configuration.
