BYO-Infra Install

The BYO-Infrastructure Installer installer is used to deploy the self-hosted Pulumi Service on your own K8s, MySQL and S3-compatible infrastructure.

BYO-Infra Deployment

The BYO infrastructure installer uses Pulumi to deploy the following services on your infrastructure:

• Ingress Controller
• Pulumi API and Console applications

Prerequisites and configuration for the your infrastructure can be found in the BYO-Infrastructure Installer README

Pulumi deploying Pulumi

This installer uses Pulumi to deploy the Pulumi Service. In this case, one uses the Pulumi CLI with a self-managed backend (e.g. S3 storage bucket) to deploy all services listed above to stand up the self-hosted Pulumi Service. The installation package includes Pulumi project code so that you can deploy the Service by running pulumi up.

To this end, you need to set up the following:

• Download and install the Pulumi CLI on your workstation
• Choose a self-managed storage backend

Deployment Steps

See the README file provided with the installer package for detailed deployment steps.

BYO Infrastructure Hosted System Management and Maintenance

Pulumi Service Updates

When deploying the Service, it is recommended to pin the Pulumi Service image tag to a specific version. See the installer’s README file to set the imageTag configuration property for the installer to use.

When ready to update the Pulumi Sevice containers to use a different version, do the following:

• pulumi login to the self-managed (not self-hosted) backend as chosen above when installing the self-hosted service.
• pulumi config set imageTag {image tag} to set the version you want to use.
• pulumi up to deploy the updates.

Database Maintenance

It is highly recommended to deploy your MySQL server in a redundant configuration with checkpoints or at least periodic backups enabled.

Bucket Maintenance

It is highly recommended to enable automatic backups for your S3-compatible storage buckets.
