Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

Build Status

Random Provider

The random provider allows the safe use of randomness in a Pulumi program. This allows you to generate resource properties, such as names, that contain randomness in a way that works with Pulumi’s goal state oriented approach. Using randomness as usual would not work well with Pulumi, because by definition, each time the program is evaluated, a new random state would be produced, necessitating re-convergence on the goal state. This provider understands how to work with the Pulumi resource lifecycle to accomplish randomness safely and in a way that works as desired.

Example

For example, to generate a random string, simply allocate a resource:

const random = require("@pulumi/random");
const password = new random.RandomString("password", {
    length: 16,
    special: true,
    overrideSpecial: "/@\" ",
});

From there we can use its result output property, of type Output<string>, to pass to another resource.
