These changes refactor the engine's entrypoints--Deploy, Destroy, and
Preview--to be update-centric rather than stack-centric. Each of these
methods now takes a value of a new type, Update, that abstracts away the
vagaries of fetching and maintaining the update's state. This
refactoring also reinforces Pulumi.yaml as a CLI concept rather than an
engine concept; the CLI is now the only reader/writer of this format.
These changes will smooth the way for a few refactorings on the service
side that will aid in update isolation.
These changes add the ability to export a stack's latest deployment or
import a new deployment to a stack via the Pulumi CLI. These
capabilities are exposed by two new verbs under `stack`:
- export, which writes the current stack's latest deployment to stdout
- import, which reads a new deployment from stdin and applies it to the
current stack.
In the local case, this simply involves reading/writing the stack's
latest checkpoint file. In the cloud case, this involves hitting two new
endpoints on the service to perform the export or import.
This change incorporates feedback on https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/764,
in addition to refactoring the retry logic to use our retry framework rather
than hand-rolling it in the REST API code. It's a minor improvement, but at
least lets us consolidate some of this logic which we'll undoubtedly use more
of over time.
We saw an issue where a user was mid-update, and got a networking
error stating `read: operation timed out`. We believe this was simply
a local client error, due to a flaky network. We should be resilient
to such things during updates, particularly when there's no way to
"reattach" to an in-progress udpate (see pulumi/pulumi#762).
This change accomplishes this by changing our retry logic in the
cloud backend's waitForUpdates function. Namely:
* We recognize three types of failure, and react differently:
- Expected HTTP errors. For instance, the 504 Gateway Timeouts
that we already retried in the face of. In these cases, we will
silently retry up to 10 times. After 10 times, we begin warning
the user just in case this is a persistent condition.
- Unexpected HTTP errors. The CLI will quit immediately and issue
an error to the user, in the usual ways. This covers
Unauthorized among other things. Over time, we may find that we
want to intentionally move some HTTP errors into the above.
- Anything else. This covers the transient networking errors case
that we have just seen. I'll admit, it's a wide net, but any
instance of this error issues a warning and it's up to the user
to ^C out of it. We also log the error so that we'll see it if
the user shares their logs with us.
* We implement backoff logic so that we retry very quickly (100ms)
on the first failure, and more slowly thereafter (1.5x, up to a max
of 5 seconds). This helps to avoid accidentally DoSing our service.
Use the new {en,de}crypt endpoints in the Pulumi.com API to secure
secret config values. The ciphertext for a secret config value is bound
to the stack to which it applies and cannot be shared with other stacks
(e.g. by copy/pasting it around in Pulumi.yaml). All secrets will need
to be encrypted once per target stack.
Our recent changes to colorization changed from a boolean to a tri-valued
enum (Always, Never, Raw). The events from the service, however, are still
boolean-valued. This changes the message payload to carry the full values.
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.
As articulated in #714, the way config defaults to workspace-local
configuration is a bit error prone, especially now with the cloud
workflow being the default. This change implements several improvements:
* First, --save defaults to true, so that configuration changes will
persist into your project file. If you want the old local workspace
behavior, you can specify --save=false.
* Second, the order in which we applied configuration was a little
strange, because workspace settings overwrote project settings.
The order is changed now so that we take most specific over least
specific configuration. Per-stack is considered more specific
than global and project settings are considered more specific
than workspace.
* We now warn anytime workspace local configuration is used. This
is a developer scenario and can have subtle effects. It is simply
not safe to use in a team environment. In fact, I lost an arm
this morning due to workspace config... and that's why you always
issue warnings for unsafe things.
If the service returns a 504, we happily keep looping around and
retrying until we get a valid update. Unfortunately, we missed the
else condition, which is what happens when this isn't a 504, leading
us to swallow real errors (500 and the like). Trivial fix.
Fixespulumi/pulumi#712.
If a cloud you've previously authenticated with goes away -- as ours
sort of did, because the cloud endpoing in the CLI changed (to actually
be correct) -- then you can't logout without manually editing the
credentials file in your workspace. This is a little annoying. So,
rather than that, let's have a `pulumi logout --all` command that just
logs out of all clouds you are presently authenticated with.
- Fix#644 "Re-enable use of local dev stacks". Rather than trying to be smart about using "pulumi.com" and inferring "api.pulumi.com", we just use whatever cloud URL the user provides. (e.g. "http://localhost:8080") We can improve the user experience later by providing friendly names for these things upon login. So we can show "Pulumi" or "Contoso" instead of the URL -- but let's cross that bridge later.
- Fix#640, "Better error on `pulumi login`". We only provide the more friendly error about needing to login IFF you are trying to use an authenticated Pulumi API without having creds.
This change implements some feedback from @ellismg.
* Make backend.Stack an interface and let backends implement it,
enabling dynamic type testing/casting to access information
specific to that backend. For instance, the cloud.Stack conveys
the cloud URL, org name, and PPC name, for each stack.
* Similarly expose specialized backend.Backend interfaces,
local.Backend and cloud.Backend, to convey specific information.
* Redo a bunch of the commands in terms of these.
* Keeping with this theme, turn the CreateStack options into an
opaque interface{}, and let the specific backends expose their
own structures with their own settings (like PPC name in cloud).
* Show both the org and PPC names in the cloud column printed in
the stack ls command, in addition to the Pulumi Cloud URL.
Unrelated, but useful:
* Special case the 401 HTTP response and make a friendly error,
to tell the developer they must use `pulumi login`. This is
better than tossing raw "401: Unauthorized" errors in their face.
* Change the "Updating stack '..' in the Pulumi Cloud" message to
use the correct action verb ("Previewing", "Destroying", etc).
This change does two things:
1) Adds progress reporting to our uploads.
2) Eliminate the sleeps that burned 7 seconds at the front of
any cloud update, needlessly. It's actually impressively
fast without these!
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.
