Assets & archives

    The Pulumi SDK provides two classes for working with files: Asset and Archive. Some Pulumi resource inputs accept either an Asset or an Archive as input, and Pulumi understands how to take the files referenced by the Asset or Archive and package them up for use by the resource. There are several different concrete implementations of these two concepts, based on the three ways the files might be provided, whether in memory, on disk, or in an archive. Similarly, files can be consumed by resources that expect a variety of packaging formats.

    Assets

    There are three types of Asset objects:

    • FileAsset: The contents of the asset are read from a file on disk.
    • StringAsset: The contents of the asset are read from a string in memory.
    • RemoteAsset: The contents of the asset are read from an http, https or file URI.
    let fileAsset = new pulumi.asset.FileAsset("./file.txt");
let stringAsset = new pulumi.asset.StringAsset("Hello, world!");
let remoteAsset = new pulumi.asset.RemoteAsset("http://worldclockapi.com/api/json/est/now");

    let fileAsset = new pulumi.asset.FileAsset("./file.txt");
let stringAsset = new pulumi.asset.StringAsset("Hello, world!");
let remoteAsset = new pulumi.asset.RemoteAsset("http://worldclockapi.com/api/json/est/now");

    file_asset = pulumi.FileAsset("./file.txt")
string_asset = pulumi.StringAsset("Hello, world!")
remote_asset = pulumi.RemoteAsset("http://worldclockapi.com/api/json/est/now")

    fileAsset := pulumi.NewFileAsset("./file.txt")
stringAsset := pulumi.NewStringAsset("Hello, world!")
remoteAsset := pulumi.NewRemoteAsset("http://worldclockapi.com/api/json/est/now")

    using Pulumi;

var fileAsset = new FileAsset("./file.txt");
var stringAsset = new StringAsset("Hello, world!");
var remoteAsset = new RemoteAsset("http://worldclockapi.com/api/json/est/now");

    final var fileAsset = new com.pulumi.asset.FileAsset("./file.txt");
final var stringAsset = new com.pulumi.asset.StringAsset("Hello, world!");
final var remoteAsset = new com.pulumi.asset.RemoteAsset("http://worldclockapi.com/api/json/est/now");

    variables:
  fileAsset:
    fn::fileAsset: ./file.txt
  stringAsset:
    fn::stringAsset: Hello, world!
  remoteAsset:
    fn::remoteAsset: http://worldclockapi.com/api/json/est/now

    Any of these assets can be passed to a resource accepting an Asset as input.

    let object = new aws.s3.BucketObject(`obj`, {
    bucket: bucket.id,
    key: key,
    source: fileAsset,
});

    let object = new aws.s3.BucketObject("obj", {
    bucket: bucket.id,
    key: key,
    source: fileAsset,
});

    obj = aws.s3.BucketObject("obj",
    bucket=bucket.id,
    key=key,
    source=file_asset)

    obj, err := s3.NewBucketObject(ctx, "obj", &s3.BucketObjectArgs{
    Bucket: bucket.ID(),
    Key:    key,
    Source: fileAsset,
})

    var obj = new Aws.S3.BucketObject("obj", new Aws.S3.BucketObjectArgs
{
    Bucket = bucket.Id,
    Key = key,
    Source = fileAsset,
});

    var obj = new com.pulumi.aws.s3.BucketObject("obj",
    com.pulumi.aws.s3.BucketObjectArgs.builder()
        .bucket(bucket.getId())
        .key(key)
        .source(fileAsset)
        .build());

    resources:
  obj:
    type: aws:s3:BucketObject
    properties:
      bucket: ${bucket}
      key: ${key}
      source: ${fileAsset}

    Archives

    There are three types of Archive objects:

    • FileArchive: The contents of the archive are read from either a folder on disk or a file on disk in one of the supported formats: .tar, .tgz, .tar.gz, .zip or .jar.
    • RemoteArchive: The contents of the asset are read from an http, https or file URI, which must produce an archive of one of the same supported types as FileArchive.
    • AssetArchive: The contents of the archive are read from a map of either Asset or Archive objects, one file or folder respectively per entry in the map.
    let fileArchive = new pulumi.asset.FileArchive("./file.zip");
let remoteArchive = new pulumi.asset.RemoteArchive("http://contoso.com/file.zip");
let assetArchive = new pulumi.asset.AssetArchive({
    "file": new pulumi.asset.StringAsset("Hello, world!"),
    "folder": new pulumi.asset.FileArchive("./folder"),
});

    let fileArchive = new pulumi.asset.FileArchive("./file.zip");
let remoteArchive = new pulumi.asset.RemoteArchive("http://contoso.com/file.zip");
let assetArchive = new pulumi.asset.AssetArchive({
    "file": new pulumi.asset.StringAsset("Hello, world!"),
    "folder": new pulumi.asset.FileArchive("./folder"),
});

    file_archive = pulumi.FileArchive("./file.zip")
remote_archive = pulumi.RemoteArchive("http://contoso.com/file.zip")
asset_archive = pulumi.AssetArchive({
    "file": pulumi.StringAsset("Hello, world!"),
    "folder": pulumi.FileArchive("./folder")
})

    fileArchive := pulumi.NewFileArchive("./file.zip")
remoteArchive := pulumi.NewRemoteArchive("http://contoso.com/file.zip")
assetArchive := pulumi.NewAssetArchive(map[string]interface{}{
    "file": pulumi.NewStringAsset("Hello, world!"),
    "folder": pulumi.NewFileArchive("./folder"),
})

    using Pulumi;

var fileArchive = new FileArchive("./file.zip");
var remoteArchive = new RemoteArchive("http://contoso.com/file.zip");
var assetArchive = new AssetArchive(new Dictionary<string, string>
{
    { "file", new StringAsset("Hello, world!") },
    { "folder", new FileArchive("./folder") }
});

    var fileArchive = new com.pulumi.asset.FileArchive("./file.zip");
var remoteArchive = new com.pulumi.asset.RemoteArchive("http://contoso.com/file.zip");
var assetArchive = new com.pulumi.asset.AssetArchive(
    Map.of(
        "file", new com.pulumi.asset.StringAsset("Hello, world!"),
        "folder", new com.pulumi.asset.FileArchive("./folder")));

    variables:
  fileArchive:
    fn::fileArchive: ./file.zip
  remoteArchive:
    fn::remoteArchive: http://contoso.com/file.zip
  assetArchive:
    fn::assetArchive:
      file:
        fn::stringAsset: Hello, World!
      folder:
        fn::fileArchive: ./folder

    Note that a folder may be passed to FileArchive to construct an archive from the contents of that folder. Also, both assets (single files) and archives (folders containing files) can be combined as part of building up an AssetArchive.

    Any of these archives can be passed to a resource accepting an Archive as input.

    let fn = new aws.lambda.Function(`fn`, {
    role: role.arn,
    runtime: "python3.7",
    handler: "hello.handler",
    code: fileArchive,
});

    let fn = new aws.lambda.Function(`fn`, {
    role: role.arn,
    runtime: "python3.7",
    handler: "hello.handler",
    code: fileArchive,
});

    fn = lambda_.Function("fn",
    role=role.arn,
    runtime="python3.7",
    handler="hello.handler",
    code=file_archive)

    fn, err := lambda.NewFunction(ctx, "fn", &lambda.FunctionArgs{
    Bucket:  role.ARN(),
    Runtime: "python3.7",
    Handler: "hello.handler",
    Code:    fileArchive,
})

    var fn = new Aws.Lambda.Function("fn", new Aws.Lambda.FunctionArgs
{
    Role = role.arn,
    Runtime = "python3.7",
    Handler = "hello.handler",
    Code = fileArchive,
});

    var fn = new com.pulumi.aws.lambda.Function("fn",
    com.pulumi.aws.lambda.FunctionArgs.builder()
        .role(role.arn())
        .runtime("python3.7")
        .handler("hello.handler")
        .code(fileArchive)
        .build());

    resources:
  fn:
    type: aws:lambda:Function
    properties:
      role: ${role.arn}
      runtime: python3.7
      handler: hello.handler
      code: ${fileArchive}
