- Cache the username and last verified time associated with each logged-in
backend
- In the HTTP backend, verify the access token explicitly at most once
per hour
This trades off a little bit of usability for improved inner-loop
latency: if a user's API token becomes invalid less than an hour after
it was last verified, the user will see 4xx errors when attempting stack
operations rather than seeing the login prompt.
Introduces `PULUMI_HOME` environment variable which points to a path to the path to `.pulumi` folder. Defaults to `<user's home dir> + ".pulumi"` if not specified.
Fixes#2966. In addition to plugins, it "moves" the credentials file, templates, workspaces.
`bin` folder is intact: to move it, we need to adjust all installation scripts to respect `PULUMI_HOME` and put executables in the proper `bin` folder.
This change does three major things:
1. Removes the ability to be logged into multiple clouds at the same
time. Previously, we supported being logged into multiple clouds at
the same time and the CLI would fan out requests and join responses
when needed. In general, this was only useful for Pulumi employees
that wanted run against multiple copies of the service (say production
and staging) but overall was very confusing (for example in the old
world a stack with the same identity could appear twice (since it was
in two backends) which the CLI didn't handle very well).
2. Stops treating the "local" backend as a special thing, from the
point of view of the CLI. Previouly we'd always connect to the local
backend and merge that data with whatever was in clouds we were
connected to. We had gestures like `--local` in `pulumi stack init`
that meant "use the local mode". Instead, to use the local mode now
you run `pulumi login --cloud-url local://` and then you are logged in
the local backend. Since you can only ever be logged into a single
backend, we can remove the `--local` and `--remote` flags from `pulumi
stack init`, it just now requires you to be logged in and creates a
stack in whatever back end you were logged into. When logging into the
local backend, you are not prompted for an access key.
3. Prompt for login in places where you have to log in, if you are not
already logged in.
The prior behavior with cloud authentication was a bit confusing
when authenticating against anything but https://pulumi.com/. This
change fixes a few aspects of this:
* Improve error messages to differentiate between "authentication
failed" and "you haven't logged into the target cloud URL."
* Default to the cloud you're currently authenticated with, rather
than unconditionally selecting https://pulumi.com/. This ensures
$ pulumi login -c https://api.moolumi.io
$ pulumi stack ls
works, versus what was currently required
$ pulumi login -c https://api.moolumi.io
$ pulumi stack ls -c https://api.moolumi.io
with confusing error messages if you forgot the second -c.
* To do this, our default cloud logic changes to
1) Prefer the explicit -c if supplied;
2) Otherwise, pick the "currently authenticated" cloud; this is
the last cloud to have been targeted with pulumi login, or
otherwise the single cloud in the list if there is only one;
3) https://pulumi.com/ otherwise.
This improves the overall cloud CLI experience workflow.
Now whether a stack is local or cloud is inherent to the stack
itself. If you interact with a cloud stack, we transparently talk
to the cloud; if you interact with a local stack, we just do the
right thing, and perform all operations locally. Aside from sometimes
seeing a cloud emoji pop-up ☁️, the experience is quite similar.
For example, to initialize a new cloud stack, simply:
$ pulumi login
Logging into Pulumi Cloud: https://pulumi.com/
Enter Pulumi access token: <enter your token>
$ pulumi stack init my-cloud-stack
Note that you may log into a specific cloud if you'd like. For
now, this is just for our own testing purposes, but someday when we
support custom clouds (e.g., Enterprise), you can just say:
$ pulumi login --cloud-url https://corp.acme.my-ppc.net:9873
The cloud is now the default. If you instead prefer a "fire and
forget" style of stack, you can skip the login and pass `--local`:
$ pulumi stack init my-faf-stack --local
If you are logged in and run `pulumi`, we tell you as much:
$ pulumi
Usage:
pulumi [command]
// as before...
Currently logged into the Pulumi Cloud ☁️https://pulumi.com/
And if you list your stacks, we tell you which one is local or not:
$ pulumi stack ls
NAME LAST UPDATE RESOURCE COUNT CLOUD URL
my-cloud-stack 2017-12-01 ... 3 https://pulumi.com/
my-faf-stack n/a 0 n/a
And `pulumi stack` by itself prints information like your cloud org,
PPC name, and so on, in addition to the usuals.
I shall write up more details and make sure to document these changes.
This change also fairly significantly refactors the layout of cloud
versus local logic, so that the cmd/ package is resonsible for CLI
things, and the new pkg/backend/ package is responsible for the
backends. The following is the overall resulting package architecture:
* The backend.Backend interface can be implemented to substitute
a new backend. This has operations to get and list stacks,
perform updates, and so on.
* The backend.Stack struct is a wrapper around a stack that has
or is being manipulated by a Backend. It resembles our existing
Stack notions in the engine, but carries additional metadata
about its source. Notably, it offers functions that allow
operations like updating and deleting on the Backend from which
it came.
* There is very little else in the pkg/backend/ package.
* A new package, pkg/backend/local/, encapsulates all local state
management for "fire and forget" scenarios. It simply implements
the above logic and contains anything specific to the local
experience.
* A peer package, pkg/backend/cloud/, encapsulates all logic
required for the cloud experience. This includes its subpackage
apitype/ which contains JSON schema descriptions required for
REST calls against the cloud backend. It also contains handy
functions to list which clouds we have authenticated with.
* A subpackage here, pkg/backend/state/, is not a provider at all.
Instead, it contains all of the state management functions that
are currently shared between local and cloud backends. This
includes configuration logic -- including encryption -- as well
as logic pertaining to which stacks are known to the workspace.
This addresses pulumi/pulumi#629 and pulumi/pulumi#494.
