Note: for the purposes of this discussion, archives will be treated as
assets, as their differences are not particularly meaningful.
Currently, the identity of an asset is derived from the hash and the
location of its contents (i.e. two assets are equal iff their contents
have the same hash and the same path/URI/inline value). This means that
changing the source of an asset will cause the engine to detect a
difference in the asset even if the source's contents are identical. At
best, this leads to inefficiencies such as unnecessary updates. This
commit changes asset identity so that it is derived solely from an
asset's hash. The source of an asset's contents is no longer part of
the asset's identity, and need only be provided if the contents
themselves may need to be available (e.g. if a hash does not yet exist
for the asset or if the asset's contents might be needed for an update).
This commit also changes the way old assets are exposed to providers.
Currently, an old asset is exposed as both its hash and its contents.
This allows providers to take a dependency on the contents of an old
asset being available, even though this is not an invariant of the
system. These changes remove the contents of old assets from their
serialized form when they are passed to providers, eliminating the
ability of a provider to take such a dependency. In combination with the
changes to asset identity, this allows a provider to detect changes to
an asset simply by comparing its old and new hashes.
This is half of the fix for [pulumi/pulumi-cloud#158]. The other half
involves changes in [pulumi/pulumi-terraform].
If a blob's reported size is incorrect, `archiveTar` may attempt to
write more bytes to an entry than it reported in that entry's header.
These changes provide a bit more context with the resulting error as
well as removing an unnecessary `LimitReader`.
Adds OpenTracing in the Pulumi engine and plugin + langhost subprocesses.
We currently create a single root span for any `Enging.plan` operation - which is a single `preview`, `update`, `destroy`, etc.
The only sub-spans we currently create are at gRPC boundaries, both on the client and server sides and on both the langhost and provider plugin interfaces.
We could extend this to include spans for any other semantically meaningful sections of compute inside the engine, though initial examples show we get pretty good granularity of coverage by focusing on the gRPC boundaries.
In the future, this should be easily extensible to HTTP boundaries and to track other bulky I/O like datastore read/writes once we hook up to the PPC and Pulumi Cloud.
We expose a `--trace <endpoint>` option to enable tracing on the CLI, which we will aim to thread through to subprocesses.
We currently support sending tracing data to a Zipkin-compatible endpoint. This has been validated with both Zipkin and Jaeger UIs.
We do not yet have any tracing inside the TypeScript side of the JS langhost RPC interface. There is not yet automatic gRPC OpenTracing instrumentation (though it looks like it's in progress now) - so we would need to manually create meaningful spans on that side of the interface.
We currently have a nasty issue with archive assets wherein they read
their entire contents into memory each time they are accessed (e.g. for
hashing or translation). This interacts badly with scenarios that
place large amounts of data in an archive: aside from limiting the size
of an archive the engine can handle, it also bloats the engine's memory
requirements. This appears to have caused issues when running the PPC in
AWS: evidence suggests that the very high peak memory requirements this
approach implies caused high swap traffic that impacted the service's
availability.
In order to fix this issue, these changes move archives onto a
streaming read model. In order to read an archive, a user:
- Opens the archive with `Archive.Open`. This returns an ArchiveReader.
- Iterates over its contents using `ArchiveReader.Next`. Each returned
blob must be read in full between successive calls to
`ArchiveReader.Next`. This requirement is essentially forced upon us
by the streaming nature of TAR archives.
- Closes the ArchiveReader with `ArchiveReader.Close`.
This model does not require that the complete contents of the archive or
any of its constituent files are in memory at any given time.
Fixes#325.
In our existing code, we only use the input state for old and new
properties. This is incorrect and I'm astonished we've been flying
blind for so long here. Some resources require the output properties
from the prior operation in order to perform updates. Interestingly,
we did correclty use the full synthesized state during deletes.
I ran into this with the AWS Cloudfront Distribution resource,
which requires the etag from the prior operation in order to
successfully apply any subsequent operations.
We were previously calling configure on each package once per time it was mentioned in the config. We only need to call it once ever as we pass the full bag of relevent config through on that one call.
It's legal and possible for undefined properties to show up in
objects, since that's an idiomatic JavaScript way of initializing
missing properties. Instead of failing for these during deployment,
we should simply skip marshaling them to Terraform and let it do
its thing as usual. This came up during our customer workload.
On windows, we have to indirect through a batch file to launch plugins,
which means when we go to close a plugin, we only kill cmd.exe that is
running the batch file and not the underlying node process. This
prevents `pulumi` from exiting cleanly. So on Windows, we also kill any
direct children of the plugin process
Fixes#504
Now, instead of having a .pulumi folder next to each project, we have
a single .pulumi folder in the root of the repository. This is created
by running `pulumi init`.
When run in a git repository, `pulumi init` will place the .pulumi
file next to the .git folder, so it can be shared across all projects
in a repository. When not in a git repository, it will be created in
the current working directory.
We also start tracking information about the repository itself, in a
new `repo.json` file stored in the root of the .pulumi folder. The
information we track are "owner" and "name" which map to information
we use on pulumi.com.
When run in a git repository with a remote named origin pointing to a
GitHub project, we compute the owner and name by deconstructing
information from the remote's URL. Otherwise, we just use the current
user's username and the name of the current working directory as the
owner and name, respectively.
We now encrypt secrets at rest based on a key derived from a user
suplied passphrase.
The system is designed in a way such that we should be able to have a
different decrypter (either using a local key or some remote service
in the Pulumi.com case in the future).
Care is taken to ensure that we do not leak decrypted secrets into the
"info" section of the checkpoint file (since we currently store the
config there).
In addtion, secrets are "pay for play", a passphrase is only needed
when dealing with a value that's encrypted. If secure config values
are not used, `pulumi` will never prompt you for a
passphrase. Otherwise, we only prompt if we know we are going to need
to decrypt the value. For example, `pulumi config <key>` only prompts
if `<key>` is encrypted and `pulumi deploy` and friends only prompt if
you are targeting a stack that has secure configuration assoicated
with it.
Secure values show up as unecrypted config values inside the language
hosts and providers.
This change fixes a couple bugs with assets:
* We weren't recursing into subdirectories in the new "path as
archive" feature, which meant we missed most of the files.
* We need to make paths relative to the root of the archive
directory itself, otherwise paths end up redundantly including
the asset's root folder path.
* We need to clean the file paths before adding them to the
archive asset map, otherwise they are inconsistent between the
path, tar, tgz, and zip cases.
* Ignore directories when traversing zips, since they aren't
included in the other formats.
* Tolerate io.EOF errors when reading the ZIP contents into blobs.
* Add test cases for the four different archive kinds.
This fixespulumi/pulumi-aws#50.
The prior code was a little too aggressive in rejected undefined
properties, because it assumed any occurrence indicated a resource
that was unavailable due to planning. This is a by-produt of our
relatively recent decision to flow undefineds freely during planning.
The problem is, it's entirely legitimate to have undefined values
deep down in JavaScript structures, entirely unrelated to resources
whose property values are unknown due to planning.
This change flows undefined more freely. There really are no
negative consequences of doing so, and avoids hitting some overly
aggressive assertion failures in some important scenarios. Ideally
we would have a way to know statically whether something is a resource
property, and tighten up the assertions just to catch possible bugs
in the system, but because this is JavaScript, and all the assertions
are happening at runtime, we simply lack the necessary metadata to do so.
This improves a few things about assets:
* Compute and store hashes as input properties, so that changes on
disk are recognized and trigger updates (pulumi/pulumi#153).
* Issue explicit and prompt diagnostics when an asset is missing or
of an unexpected kind, rather than failing late (pulumi/pulumi#156).
* Permit raw directories to be passed as archives, in addition to
archive formats like tar, zip, etc. (pulumi/pulumi#240).
* Permit not only assets as elements of an archive's member list, but
also other archives themselves (pulumi/pulumi#280).
Instead of doing the logic to see if a type has YAML tags and then
dispatching based on that to use either the direct go-yaml marshaller
or the one that works in terms of JSON tags, let's just say that we
always add YAML tags as well, and use go-yaml directly.
This change adds functions, `pulumi.getProject()` and `pulumi.getStack()`,
to fetch the names of the project and stack, respectively. These can be
handy in generating names, specializing areas of the code, etc.
This fixespulumi/pulumi#429.
During the course of a `pulumi update`, it is possible for a resource to
become slated for deletion. In the case that this deletion is part of a
replacement, another resource with the same URN as the to-be-deleted
resource will have been created earlier. If the `update` fails after the
replacement resource is created but before the original resource has been
deleted, the snapshot must capture that the original resource still exists
and should be deleted in a future update without losing track of the order
in which the deletion must occur relative to other deletes. Currently, we
are unable to track this information because the our checkpoints require
that no two resources have the same URN.
To fix this, these changes introduce to the update engine the notion of a
resource that is pending deletion and change checkpoint serialization to
use an array of resources rather than a map. The meaning of the former is
straightforward: a resource that is pending deletion should be deleted
during the next update.
This is a fairly major breaking change to our checkpoint files, as the
map of resources is no more. Happily, though, it makes our checkpoint
files a bit more "obvious" to any tooling that might want to grovel
or rewrite them.
Fixes#432, #387.
A dynamic resource is a resource whose provider is implemented alongside
the resource itself. This provider may close over and use orther
resources in the implementation of its CRUD operations. The provider
itself must be stateless, as each CRUD operation for a particular
dynamic resource type may use an independent instance of the provider.
Changes to the definition of a resource's provider result in replacement
of the resource itself (rather than a simple update), as this allows the
old provider definition to delete the old resource and the new provider
definition to create an appropriate replacement.
If a plugin fails to load after we've set up the goroutines that copy
from its std{out,err} streams, then those goroutines can end up writing
to a closed event channel. This change ensures that we properly drain
those streams in this case.
Previously we used the word "Environment" as the term for a deployment
target, but since then we've started to use the term Stack. Adopt this
across the CLI.
From a user's point of view, there are a few changes:
1. The `env` verb has been renamed to `stack`
2. The `-e` and `--env` options to commands which operate on an
environment now take `-s` or `--stack` instead.
3. Becase of (2), the commands that used `-s` to display a summary now
only support passing the full option name (`--summary`).
On the local file system, we still store checkpoint data in the `env`
sub-folder under `.pulumi` (so we can reuse existing checkpoint files
that were written to the old folder)
This changes a few things about "components":
* Rename what was previously ExternalResource to CustomResource,
and all of the related fields and parameters that this implies.
This just seems like a much nicer and expected name for what
these represent. I realize I am stealing a name we had thought
about using elsewhere, but this seems like an appropriate use.
* Introduce ComponentResource, to make initializing resources
that merely aggregate other resources easier to do correctly.
* Add a withParent and parentScope concept to Resource, to make
allocating children less error-prone. Now there's no need to
explicitly adopt children as they are allocated; instead, any
children allocated as part of the withParent callback will
auto-parent to the resource provided. This is used by
ComponentResource's initialization function to make initialization
easier, including the distinction between inputs and outputs.
This change implements core support for "components" in the Pulumi
Fabric. This work is described further in pulumi/pulumi#340, where
we are still discussing some of the finer points.
In a nutshell, resources no longer imply external providers. It's
entirely possible to have a resource that logically represents
something but without having a physical manifestation that needs to
be tracked and managed by our typical CRUD operations.
For example, the aws/serverless/Function helper is one such type.
It aggregates Lambda-related resources and exposes a nice interface.
All of the Pulumi Cloud Framework resources are also examples.
To indicate that a resource does participate in the usual CRUD resource
provider, it simply derives from ExternalResource instead of Resource.
All resources now have the ability to adopt children. This is purely
a metadata/tagging thing, and will help us roll up displays, provide
attribution to the developer, and even hide aspects of the resource
graph as appropriate (e.g., when they are implementation details).
Our use of this capability is ultra limited right now; in fact, the
only place we display children is in the CLI output. For instance:
+ aws:serverless:Function: (create)
[urn=urn:pulumi:demo::serverless::aws:serverless:Function::mylambda]
=> urn:pulumi:demo::serverless::aws:iam/role:Role::mylambda-iamrole
=> urn:pulumi:demo::serverless::aws:iam/rolePolicyAttachment:RolePolicyAttachment::mylambda-iampolicy-0
=> urn:pulumi:demo::serverless::aws:lambda/function:Function::mylambda
The bit indicating whether a resource is external or not is tracked
in the resulting checkpoint file, along with any of its children.
The checkpoint is an implementation detail of the storage of an
environment. Instead of interacting with it, make sure that all the
data we need from it either hangs off the Snapshot or Target
objects (which you can get from a Checkpoint) and then start consuming
that data.
This change adds the capability for a resource provider to indicate
that, where an action carried out in response to a diff, a certain set
of properties would be "stable"; that is to say, they are guaranteed
not to change. As a result, properties may be resolved to their final
values during previewing, avoiding erroneous cascading impacts.
This avoids the ever-annoying situation I keep running into when demoing:
when adding or removing an ingress rule to a security group, we ripple
the impact through the instance, and claim it must be replaced, because
that instance depends on the security group via its name. Well, the name
is a great example of a stable property, in that it will never change, and
so this is truly unfortunate and always adds uncertainty into the demos.
Particularly since the actual update doesn't need to perform replacements.
This resolvespulumi/pulumi#330.
`deploy.Plan.Apply` was only consumed by the engine, and seemed to be in
the wrong place given the API exported by the rest of `Plan` (i.e.
`Plan.Start` + `PlanIterator`). Furthermore, we were missing a reasonable
opportunity to share code between `update` and `preview`, both of which
need to walk the plan. These changes move the plan walk into `package engine`
as `planResult.Walk` and replace the `Progress` interface with a new interface,
`StepActions`, which subsumes the functionality of the former and adds support
for implementation-specific step execution. `planResult.Walk` is then
consumed by both `Engine.Deploy` and `Engine.PrintPlan`.
This change enables us to make progress on exposing data sources
(see pulumi/pulumi-terraform#29). The idea is to have an Invoke
function that simply takes a function token and arguments, performs
the function lookup and invocation, and then returns a return value.
Print "modified" rather than "modifyd". This introduces a new method,
`resource.StepOp.PastTense()`, which returns the past tense description
of the operation.
This change improves our output formatting by generally adding
fewer prefixes. As shown in pulumi/pulumi#359, we were being
excessively verbose in many places, including prefixing every
console.out with "langhost[nodejs].stdout: ", displaying full
stack traces for simple errors like missing configuration, etc.
Overall, this change includes the following:
* Don't prefix stdout and stderr output from the program, other
than the standard "info:" prefix. I experimented with various
schemes here, but they all felt gratuitous. Simply emitting
the output seems fine, especially as it's closer to what would
happen if you just ran the program under node.
* Do NOT make writes to stderr fail the plan/deploy. Previously
we assumed that any console.errors, for instance, meant that
the overall program should fail. This simply isn't how stderr
is treated generally and meant you couldn't use certain
logging techniques and libraries, among other things.
* Do make sure that stderr writes in the program end up going to
stderr in the Pulumi CLI output, however, so that redirection
works as it should. This required a new Infoerr log level.
* Make a small fix to the planning logic so we don't attempt to
print the summary if an error occurs.
* Finally, add a new error type, RunError, that when thrown and
uncaught does not result in a full stack trace being printed.
Anyone can use this, however, we currently use it for config
errors so that we can terminate with a pretty error message,
rather than the monstrosity shown in pulumi/pulumi#359.
This includes a few changes:
* The repo name -- and hence the Go modules -- changes from pulumi-fabric to pulumi.
* The Node.js SDK package changes from @pulumi/pulumi-fabric to just pulumi.
* The CLI is renamed from lumi to pulumi.
Instead of binding on 0.0.0.0 (which will listen on every interface)
let's only listen on localhost. On windows, this both makes the
connection Just Work and also prevents the Windows Firewall from
blocking the listen (and displaying UI saying it has blocked an
application and asking if the user should allow it)
This change flips the polarity on parallelism: rather than having a
--serialize flag, we will have a --parallel=P flag, and by default
we will shut off parallelism. We aren't benefiting from it at the
moment (until we implement pulumi/pulumi-fabric#106), and there are
more hidden dependencies in places like AWS Lambdas and Permissions
than I had realized. We may revisit the default, but this allows
us to bite off the messiness of dependsOn only when we benefit from
it. And in any case, the --parallel=P capability will be useful.
This change adds an optiona dependsOn parameter to Resource constructors,
to "force" a fake dependency between resources. We have an extremely strong
desire to resort to using this only in unusual cases -- and instead rely
on the natural dependency DAG based on properties -- but experience in other
resource provisioning frameworks tells us that we're likely to need this in
the general case. Indeed, we've already encountered the need in AWS's
API Gateway resources... and I suspect we'll run into more especially as we
tackle non-serverless resources like EC2 Instances, where "ambient"
dependencies are far more commonplace.
This also makes parallelism the default mode of operation, and we have a
new --serialize flag that can be used to suppress this default behavior.
Full disclosure: I expect this to become more Make-like, i.e. -j 8, where
you can specify the precise width of parallelism, when we tackle
pulumi/pulumi-fabric#106. I also think there's a good chance we will flip
the default, so that serial execution is the default, so that developers
who don't benefit from the parallelism don't need to worry about dependsOn
in awkward ways. This tends to be the way most tools (like Make) operate.
This fixespulumi/pulumi-fabric#335.
