esc login | CLI commands

Log in to the Pulumi Cloud

Synopsis

Log in to the Pulumi Cloud.

The Pulumi Cloud manages your Pulumi ESC environments. Simply run

$ esc login

and this command will prompt you for an access token, including a way to launch your web browser to easily obtain one. You can script by using PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable.

By default, this will log in to the managed Pulumi Cloud backend. If you prefer to log in to a self-hosted Pulumi Cloud backend, specify a URL. For example, run

$ esc login https://api.pulumi.acmecorp.com

to log in to a self-hosted Pulumi Cloud running at the api.pulumi.acmecorp.com domain.

For https:// URLs, the CLI will speak REST to a Pulumi Cloud that manages state and concurrency control. You can specify a default org to use when logging into the Pulumi Cloud backend or a self-hosted Pulumi Cloud.
