Intro to Pulumi for Python and AWS

[@laopaofr]

for new version, warning: security_groups is deprecated: Use of `securityGroups` is discouraged as it does not allow for changes and will force your instance to be replaced if changes are made. To avoid this, use `vpcSecurityGroupIds` which allows for updates

Thanks I will pin this to help others in the future

Thanks for watching! :)

Please make a part 2 of it thank you.

[@KevanCarlton]

I’m working on one right now, it’s for using pulumi for Eks and kubernetes Do you have any requests or things I should go more into? Thanks for watching!

[@cryptobarn9445]

@@KevanCarlton yes can you go more in depth with having a load balancer and using databases like Aurora. Also I tried visiting your website but couldn't connect to it.

​@@KevanCarlton Thanks finally some Pulumi with python. Maybe some example of creating a module that you use with multiple stack ? Don't make it more complex on the AWS part (ppl who use Terraform already know AWS). Up the game on the Pulumi part. Good luck

[@jagadeeshbaskaran4881]

could you please post a video for AWS MSK cluster using pulumi?

[@SachinShenoy]

Thanks for the Video. I don't see any videos out there talking about debugging, troubleshooting the code given that the traditional way to run the code does not apply here. We need to use "pulumi up" tp execute the code, how do you debug issues? Like if I wanted to know what "aws.get_availability_zones(state="available")" is actually returning, how do I go about doing that? I may be missing something simple here. I am a network guy and not a programmer.

[@KevanCarlton]

Yea I would say it just comes with learning basic python debugging, there is very little super unique to Pulumi. If you come from a non-programming background and are just learning this all I would take a look at Terrafrom, it uses a markup-esq language that should be easy to get up to speed without know to much coding. Hope this helps and thanks for watching :)

I find it weird that I cannot find the ec2 I have generated using pulumi. There is no error occurred upon creating and it also gave the publicHostName and publicIP. I wonder why it is not listed under my ec2 instances?

[@KevanCarlton]

different region maybe?

@@KevanCarlton Exactly. Just realized that.

Excellent. It appears you have stopped creating content. Unfortunate for us but best wishes.

@@KevanCarlton Awesome! Glad I was able to make that small push. I'm subscribed now and will get notified when you drop something new.

Nice video. You just need to use better command line prompt. I recommend to use GBT (github.com/jtyr/gbt).
