pulumi

Modules are deprecated and will be removed in version 0.14. Please use action-based configuration instead. See the 0.12 to Bonsai migration guide for details.

Description

Deploys a Pulumi stack and either creates/updates it automatically (if autoApply: true) or warns when the stack resources are not up-to-date, or errors if it's missing entirely.

Note: It is not recommended to set autoApply to true for production or shared environments, since this may result in accidental or conflicting changes to the stack. Instead, it is recommended to manually preview and update using the provided plugin commands. Run garden plugins pulumi for details. Note that not all Pulumi CLI commands are wrapped by the plugin, only the ones where it's important to apply any variables defined in the action. For others, simply run the Pulumi CLI as usual from the project root.

Stack outputs are made available as service outputs. These can then be referenced by other actions under ${runtime.services.<module-name>.outputs.<key>}. You can template in those values as e.g. command arguments or environment variables for other services.

Below is the full schema reference. For an introduction to configuring Garden modules, please look at our Configuration guide.

The first section contains the complete YAML schema, and the second section describes each schema key.

pulumi modules also export values that are available in template strings. See the Outputs section below for details.

Complete YAML Schema

The values in the schema below are the default values.

kind: Module

# The type of this module.
type:

    - # Module name to build ahead of this module.
      name:

      # Specify one or more files or directories to copy from the built dependency to this module.
      copy:

          source:

          # POSIX-style path or filename to copy the directory or file(s), relative to the build directory.
          # Defaults to the same as source path.
          target:

  # Maximum time in seconds to wait for build to finish.
  timeout: 600

# If set to true, Garden will run the build command, services, tests, and tasks in the module source directory,
# instead of in the Garden build directory (under .garden/build/<module-name>).
#
# Garden will therefore not stage the build for local modules. This means that include/exclude filters
# and ignore files are not applied to local modules, except to calculate the module/action versions.
#
# If you use use `build.dependencies[].copy` for one or more build dependencies of this module, the copied files
# will be copied to the module source directory (instead of the build directory, as is the default case when
# `local = false`).
#
# Note: This maps to the `buildAtSource` option in this module's generated Build action (if any).
local: false

# A description of the module.

# This can be handy when you only need certain modules for specific environments, e.g. only for development.
#
# Disabling a module means that any services, tasks and tests contained in it will not be build, deployed or run.
#
# If you disable the module, and its services, tasks or tests are referenced as _runtime_ dependencies, Garden will
# automatically ignore those dependency declarations. Note however that template strings referencing the module's

local

If set to true, Garden will run the build command, services, tests, and tasks in the module source directory, instead of in the Garden build directory (under .garden/build/).

Garden will therefore not stage the build for local modules. This means that include/exclude filters and ignore files are not applied to local modules, except to calculate the module/action versions.

If you use use build.dependencies[].copy for one or more build dependencies of this module, the copied files will be copied to the module source directory (instead of the build directory, as is the default case when local = false).

disabled

Set this to true to disable the module. You can use this with conditional template strings to disable modules based on, for example, the current environment or other variables (e.g. disabled: ${environment.name == "prod"}). This can be handy when you only need certain modules for specific environments, e.g. only for development.

Disabling a module means that any services, tasks and tests contained in it will not be build, deployed or run.

If you disable the module, and its services, tasks or tests are referenced as runtime dependencies, Garden will automatically ignore those dependency declarations. Note however that template strings referencing the module's service or task outputs (i.e. runtime outputs) will fail to resolve when the module is disabled, so you need to make sure to provide alternate values for those if you're using them, using conditional expressions.

Specify a list of POSIX-style paths or globs that should be regarded as the source files for this module. Files that do not match these paths or globs are excluded when computing the version of the module, when responding to filesystem watch events, and when staging builds.

Note that you can also exclude files using the exclude field or by placing .gardenignore files in your source tree, which use the same format as .gitignore files. See the Configuration Files guide for details.

Also note that specifying an empty list here means no sources should be included.

Type

The deploy action's stack config will be overwritten with the resulting merged config. Variables declared here override any conflicting config variables defined in this deploy action's pulumiVarfiles.

Note: pulumiVariables should not include action outputs from other pulumi deploy actions when cacheStatus is set to true, since the outputs may change from the time the stack status of the dependency action is initially queried to when it's been deployed.

Instead, use pulumi stack references when using the cacheStatus config option.

stackReferences[]

When setting cacheStatus to true for this deploy action, you should include all stack references used by this deploy action's pulumi stack in this field.

deployFromPreview

When set to true, will use pulumi plans generated by the garden plugins pulumi preview command when deploying, and will fail if no plan exists locally for the deploy action.

When this option is used, the pulumi plugin bypasses the status check altogether and passes the plan directly to pulumi up (via the --plan option, which is experimental as of March 2022). You should therefore take care to only use this config option when you're sure you want to apply the changes in the plan.
