AWS TypeScript Pulumi Template

A minimal Pulumi template for provisioning AWS infrastructure using TypeScript. This template creates an Amazon S3 bucket and exports its name.

Prerequisites

• Pulumi CLI (>= v3): https://www.pulumi.com/docs/get-started/install/
• Node.js (>= 14): https://nodejs.org/
• AWS credentials configured (e.g., via aws configure or environment variables)

Getting Started

1. Initialize a new Pulumi project:

   pulumi new aws-typescript

   Follow the prompts to set your:

   • Project name
   • Project description
   • AWS region (defaults to us-east-1)

2. Preview and deploy your infrastructure:

   pulumi preview
   pulumi up

3. When you're finished, tear down your stack:

   pulumi destroy
   pulumi stack rm

Project Layout

• Pulumi.yaml — Pulumi project and template metadata
• index.ts — Main Pulumi program (creates an S3 bucket)
• package.json — Node.js dependencies
• tsconfig.json — TypeScript compiler options

Configuration

Key	Description	Default
aws:region	The AWS region to deploy resources into	us-east-1

Use pulumi config set <key> <value> to customize configuration.

Next Steps

• Extend index.ts to provision additional resources (e.g., VPCs, Lambda functions, DynamoDB tables).
• Explore Pulumi AWSX for higher-level AWS components.
• Consult the Pulumi documentation for more examples and best practices.
