Review the New Project

Let’s review some of the generated project files:

  • Pulumi.yaml defines the project.
  • Pulumi.dev.yaml contains configuration values for the stack we initialized.
  • index.jsindex.ts__main__.pymain.goProgram.csProgram.fsProgram.vb is the Pulumi program that defines our stack resources. Let’s examine it.

            return new Dictionary<string, object> {

        });
    }
}

This Pulumi program creates an Azure resource group and storage account and exports the storage account’s connection string.

Note: In this program, the location of the resource group is set in the configuration setting azure:location (check the Pulumi.dev.yaml file). This is an easy way to set a global location for your program so you don’t have to specify the location for each resource manually. The location for the storage account is automatically derived from the location of the resource group. To override the location for a resource, simply set the location property to one of Azure’s supported locations.

For Python, before we deploy the stack, the following commands need to be run to create a virtual environment, activate it, and install dependencies:

$ virtualenv -p python3 venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Next, we’ll deploy the stack.
