Create a New Project
Now that you have set up your environment let’s create your first Pulumi program.
$ mkdir quickstart && cd quickstart
$ pulumi new kubernetes-javascript
$ mkdir quickstart && cd quickstart
$ pulumi new kubernetes-typescript
$ mkdir quickstart && cd quickstart
$ pulumi new kubernetes-python
$ mkdir quickstart && cd quickstart
$ pulumi new kubernetes-go
$ mkdir quickstart && cd quickstart
$ pulumi new kubernetes-csharp
$ mkdir quickstart && cd quickstart
$ pulumi new kubernetes-java
$ mkdir quickstart && cd quickstart
$ pulumi new kubernetes-yaml
If this is your first time running pulumi new
or other pulumi
commands, you may be prompted to log in to the
Pulumi Service. The Pulumi CLI and Pulumi Service work in tandem
to deliver a reliable experience. It's free for individual use, with features available for teams, and
self-managed options are also available. Hitting Enter at the prompt opens a browser for you to sign in or
sign up.
After logging in, the CLI will proceed with walking you through creating a new project.
First, you will be asked for a project name and project description. Hit ENTER
to accept the default values or specify new values.
This command will walk you through creating a new Pulumi project.
Enter a value or leave blank to accept the (default), and press <ENTER>.
Press ^C at any time to quit.
project name: (quickstart)
project description: (A minimal Kubernetes Pulumi program)
Created project 'quickstart'
Next, you will be asked for a stack name. You can hit ENTER
to accept the default value of dev
.
Please enter your desired stack name.
To create a stack in an organization, use the format <org-name>/<stack-name> (e.g. `acmecorp/dev`).
stack name: (dev)
Created stack 'dev'
What are projects and stacks? Pulumi projects and stacks let you organize Pulumi code. Consider a Pulumi project to be analogous to a GitHub repo—a single place for code—and a stack to be an instance of that code with a separate configuration. For instance, Project Foo may have multiple stacks for different development environments (Dev, Test, or Prod), or perhaps for different cloud configurations (geographic region for example). See Organizing Projects and Stacks for some best practices on organizing your Pulumi projects and stacks.
Next, we’ll review the generated project files.
