Step 1 of 3

Bootstrap a new Pulumi Python project

Use pulumi new to scaffold a Python Pulumi project for Azure. Install dependencies and configure your first stack.

Tasks

Run pulumi new azure-python --name myapp --stack dev

Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

Run pulumi config set azure-native:location eastus

Run pulumi config set environment dev

Inspect the generated __main__.py

🎯 What You'll Learn

▸Use pulumi new to scaffold project structure
▸Understand Pulumi project files: Pulumi.yaml, requirements.txt, __main__.py
▸Configure stack-specific values with pulumi config set

Code

Bashbootstrap.sh
1 #!/bin/bash
2  
3 # Create project directory
4 mkdir myapp-infra && cd myapp-infra
5  
6 # Create Python virtual environment
7 python -m venv venv
8 source venv/bin/activate
9  
10 # Scaffold Pulumi project
11 pulumi new azure-python \
12   --name myapp \
13   --stack dev \
14   --description "MyApp Azure Infrastructure"
15  
16 # Install Python dependencies
17 pip install -r requirements.txt
18  
19 # Configure stack
20 pulumi config set azure-native:location eastus
21 pulumi config set environment dev
22  
23 # Preview (should show resources from template)
24 pulumi preview

💡 Pro Tips

▸Use a Python virtual environment: python -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
▸Pulumi.dev.yaml stores stack-specific config values
▸pulumi stack ls shows all stacks in the current project

Expected Output

Pulumi project scaffolded; pulumi preview runs without error
