A Pulumi package to safely use randomness in Pulumi programs.

Project description

Actions Status Slack NPM version NuGet version Python version PkgGoDev License

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 password, allocate a RandomPassword resource and then use its result output property (of type Output<string>) to pass to another resource.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";
import * as random from "@pulumi/random";

const password = new random.RandomPassword("password", {
    length: 16,
    overrideSpecial: "_%@",
    special: true,
});
const example = new aws.rds.Instance("example", {
    password: password.result,
});
