Aiven: Installation & Configuration

The Pulumi Aiven provider uses the Aiven SDK to manage and provision resources.

Installation

The Aiven provider is available as a package in all Pulumi languages:

• JavaScript/TypeScript: @pulumi/aiven
• Python: pulumi-aiven
• Go: github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aiven/sdk/v4/go/aiven
• .NET: Pulumi.Aiven

Configuring Credentials

Pulumi relies on the Aiven SDK to authenticate requests from your computer to Aiven. Your credentials are never sent to pulumi.com. The Pulumi Aiven Provider needs to be configured with Aiven credentials before it can be used to create resources. Once the credentials obtained, there are two ways to communicate your authorization tokens to Pulumi:

1. Set the environment variable AIVEN_TOKEN:

   $ export AIVEN_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
   

2. Set them using configuration, if you prefer that they be stored alongside your Pulumi stack for easy multi-user access:

   $ pulumi config set aiven:apiToken XXXXXXXXXXXXXX --secret
   

Remember to pass --secret when setting aiven:apiToken so that it is properly encrypted. The complete list of configuration parameters is in the Aiven Provider README.
