Notes

Managed and unmanaged file objects

By default, the Synced Folder component manages your files as individual Pulumi cloud resources (for example, as multiple aws:S3:BucketObjects), but you can opt out of this behavior by using the component’s managedObjects property:

<div>
    <pulumi-choosable type="language" values="typescript" mode="">

const folder = new synced.S3BucketFolder("synced-folder", {
    path: "./my-folder",
    bucketName: bucket.bucket,
    acl: aws.s3.PublicReadAcl,

    // Set this property to false to manage files outside Pulumi.
    managedObjects: false,
});

<div>
    <pulumi-choosable type="language" values="python" mode="">

folder = pulumi_synced_folder.S3BucketFolder(
    "synced-folder",
    path="./my-folder",
    bucket_name=bucket.bucket,
    acl=s3.CannedAcl.PUBLIC_READ,

    # Set this property to false to manage files outside Pulumi.
    managed_objects=False,
)

<div>
    <pulumi-choosable type="language" values="go" mode="">

folder, err = synced.NewS3BucketFolder(ctx, "synced-folder", &synced.S3BucketFolderArgs{
    Path:           pulumi.String("./my-folder"),
    BucketName:     bucket.Bucket,
    Acl:            s3.CannedAclPublicRead,

    // Set this property to false to manage files outside Pulumi.
    ManagedObjects: pulumi.Bool(false),
})

<div>
    <pulumi-choosable type="language" values="csharp" mode="">

var folder = new S3BucketFolder("synced-bucket-folder", new S3BucketFolderArgs {
    Path = "./my-folder",
    BucketName = bucket.BucketName,
    Acl = (string)CannedAcl.PublicRead,

    // Set this property to false to manage files outside Pulumi.
    ManagedObjects = false,
});

<div>
    <pulumi-choosable type="language" values="yaml" mode="">

folder:
  type: synced-folder:index:S3BucketFolder
  properties:
    path: ./my-folder
    bucketName: ${my-bucket.bucket}

    # Set this property to false to manage files outside Pulumi.
    managedObjects: false

When you do this, the component assumes you’ve installed the cloud provider’s official CLI — aws, az, or gcloud/gsutil, depending on the cloud — and uses the Pulumi Command provider to issue commands the CLI tool directly:

S3BucketFolder uses aws s3 sync
AzureBlobFolder uses az storage blob sync
GoogleCloudFolder uses gsutil rsync

Files are one-way synchronized to the cloud, and any files that exist remotely but not locally are deleted from the cloud-storage container. All files are deleted from the cloud-storage container on pulumi destroy.

If the folder you’re syncing contains a large number of files (e.g., many thousands), you may want to consider using this option.

The component does not yet support switching seamlessly between managedObjects: true and managedObjects: false, however, so if you find after deploying a given folder with managed objects that you’d prefer to use unmanaged objects instead (or vice-versa), we recommend creating a second bucket/storage container and folder and removing the first. You can generally do this within the scope of a single program update. For example:

name: synced-folder-aws-yaml
runtime: yaml

resources:

  # Original bucket and synced-folder resources, using managed file objects.
  #
  # my-first-bucket:
  #   type: aws:s3:Bucket
  #   properties:
  #     acl: public-read
  #     website:
  #       indexDocument: index.html
  #       errorDocument: error.html
  #
  # my-first-synced-folder:
  #   type: synced-folder:index:S3BucketFolder
  #   properties:
  #     path: ./stuff
  #     bucketName: ${my-first-bucket.bucket}
  #     acl: public-read

  # A new bucket and synced-folder using unmanaged file objects.
  changed-my-mind-bucket:
    type: aws:s3:Bucket
    properties:
      acl: public-read

  changed-my-mind-synced-folder:
    type: synced-folder:index:S3BucketFolder
    properties:
      path: ./stuff
      bucketName: ${changed-my-mind-bucket.bucket}
      acl: public-read
      managedObjects: false
