Pulumi — IaC in a Real Programming Language¶
PulumiIaCTypeScriptPython 5 min read
Pulumi with TypeScript/Python, component resources, stacks and testing.
Why Pulumi¶
- Real programming languages — TS, Python, Go, C#
- IDE support — autocomplete, type checking
- Native loops, conditions, functions
- Unit tests with existing frameworks
Component Resource¶
export class Vpc extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
public readonly vpcId: pulumi.Output<string>;
constructor(name: string, args: VpcArgs, opts?) {
super("custom:network:Vpc", name, {}, opts);
const vpc = new aws.ec2.Vpc(`${name}-vpc`, {
cidrBlock: args.cidrBlock,
enableDnsHostnames: true,
}, { parent: this });
this.vpcId = vpc.id;
}
}
Testing¶
Unit tests with pytest/jest — mock resources, verify outputs. Strong typing = fewer runtime errors.
Summary¶
Pulumi = IaC in the language you already know. Type safety + testability = main advantages.
