Infrastructure as Code

Pulumi

Pulumi is a SDK to describe infrastructure as code in .NET an deploy it with the Pulumi CLI tool to Azure.

Configuration

The configuration for each environment can be found in the Pulumi.{environment}.yaml files. All the secret configurations must be manually set:

pulumi config set --secret <key> <value>

Pulumi makes sure to save secrets and credentials encrypted in the state file.

Azure Login

Pulumi uses the Azure CLI login and the current default account. Before configuring and deploying make sure that you are logged in and connected to the correct Azure subscription:

az login
az account list
az account set -s <subscriptionId>

Service Principal

In order to use a service principal user to create the resources you have to configure the respective settings in Pulumi:

pulumi config set azure:clientId "WWWWWWWW-WWWW-WWWW-WWWW-WWWWWWWWWWWW"
pulumi config set azure:clientSecret "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX" --secret
pulumi config set azure:tenantId "YYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYY"
pulumi config set azure:subscriptionId "ZZZZZZZZ-ZZZZ-ZZZZ-ZZZZ-ZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

State

The current state of the environment (stack) is saved to a state file. This state file is stored locally by default or can be stored in an Azure Blob Storage.

Setup Azure Blob Storage

$env:AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT = '<storageAccountName>'
$env:AZURE_STORAGE_KEY = '<storageAccountPrimaryKey>'
pulumi login azblob://<containerName>

The configuration and state is now saved to the Azure Blob Storage container.

Deploy

The given environment can be deployed as follow:

pulumi up -s <dev/prev/prod>

Destroy

The given environment can be destroyed as follow:

pulumi destroy -s <dev/prev/prod>

Make sure that you know what you are doing before destroying an environment.
