1. Managing Any Cloud with .NET Mikhail Shilkov
2. About me • Mikhail Shilkov • Software engineer at Pulumi .NET SDK, Azure, Core platform • Serverless • Functional programming, F# • Microsoft Azure MVP @MikhailShilkov mikhail@pulumi.com
3. • Pulumi: Modern Infrastructure as Code • Use .NET languages to manage cloud resources • Desired state configuration • Tools that you love • Reusable abstractions • Automated testing • Multi-cloud Agenda
4. .NET for All the Clouds Provision infrastructure anywhere using C#, F#, or VB.NET
5. General-purpose Programming Languages
6. Providers • AWS • Azure • GCP • Digital Ocean • Cloudflare … and more • Docker • Kubernetes • OpenStack • PostgreSQL • New Relic
7. Static Website on AWS Demo
8. Desired State Configuration Maintainable infrastructure 10
9. Unified Management API Management API (e.g., Azure Resource Manager) Cloud Service Cloud Service Cloud Service Web Portal CLI SDK 3rd Party
10. var launchRequest = new RunInstancesRequest { ImageId = amiID, InstanceType = "t1.micro", MinCount = 1, MaxCount = 1, KeyName = keyPairName, SecurityGroupIds = groups }; var launchResponse = ec2Client.RunInstances(launchRequest); var instances = launchResponse.Reservation.Instances; SDKs to call those REST endpoints
11. aws ec2 run-instances \ --image-id ami-5ec1673e \ --key-name MyKey \ --security-groups EC2SecurityGroup \ --instance-type t2.micro \ --placement AvailabilityZone=us-west-2b Command-line Tools
12. SDK and Scripting: Challenges 12 Imperative Step-by-step provisioning process Complex Depend on both the current and the target state Error-prone How to handle failures?
13. Desired State Configuration Target Current Tool
14. Managing Resource Graphs Target Current Tool
15. var resourceGroup = new ResourceGroup("rg"); var storageAccount = new Account("storage", new AccountArgs { ResourceGroupName = resourceGroup.Name, AccountReplicationType = "LRS", AccountTier = "Standard", }); C# Example
16. Desired State! var resourceGroup = new ResourceGroup("rg"); var storageAccount = new Account("storage", new AccountArgs { ResourceGroupName = resourceGroup.Name, AccountReplicationType = "LRS", AccountTier = "Standard", });
17. How Pulumi Works CLI & engine Last deployed state Program.cs Language host AWS Azure GCP Kubernetes new Resource() CRUD
18. Markup-based Languages 18 AWS CloudFormation YAML Azure RM Templates JSON Terraform HCL "resources": [ { "apiVersion": "2016-01-01", "type": "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts", "name": "mystorageaccount", "location": "westus", "sku": { "name": "Standard_LRS" }, "kind": "Storage", "properties": { } } ] Resources: S3BucketForURLs: Type: "AWS::S3::Bucket" DeletionPolicy: Delete Properties: BucketName: !If [ "CreateNewBucket", !Ref WebsiteConfiguration: IndexDocument: "index.html" LifecycleConfiguration: Rules: - Id: DisposeShortUrls ExpirationInDays: !Ref URLExpiration Prefix: "u" Status: Enabled resource "azurerm_storage_account" "sa" { name = "mysa" location = azurerm_resource_group .rg.location resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group .rg.name account_tier = "Standard" account_replication_type = "LRS" } Every alternative has its own language, own tools, own conventions
19. Markup Authoring Experience 19 Tooling Lack of tooling on day 1. No fast feedback from editors. Discovery Which properties can be set, and which values are valid? Size Thousands of lines of markup are hard to write, read, and maintain
20. Example App: Serverless URL Shortener KV Store Table “URLs” Function “Add URL” Function “Open URL” Tool Lines of code Function Code ~20 CloudFormation ~240 ARM Templates ~160 Terraform ~220 Estimates based on public examples
21. Tools That You Love Developers can apply their existing skills to infrastructure
22. Pulumi ❤ .NET • .NET Core 3.1 • OS: Windows, macOS, Linux • Language: C#, F#, VB.NET • Editor and IDE: Visual Studio, Code, Rider • IntelliSense, ReSharper, StyleCop, DocFX • Package Manager: NuGet, MyGet, Paket • NUnit, xUnit.net, Moq
23. var storageAccount = new Account("sa", new AccountArgs { ResourceGroupName = resourceGroup.Name, AccountReplicationType = "LRS", AccountTier = "Standard" }); var appServicePlan = new Plan("asp", new PlanArgs { ResourceGroupName = resourceGroup.Name, Kind = "App", Sku = new PlanSkuArgs { Tier = "Basic", Size = "B1” } }); Cloud Resources with C#
24. let storageAccount = Account("sa", AccountArgs (ResourceGroupName = io resourceGroup.Name, AccountReplicationType = input "LRS", AccountTier = input "Standard")) let sku = PlanSkuArgs(Tier = input "Basic", Size = input "B1") let appServicePlan = Plan("asp", PlanArgs (ResourceGroupName = io resourceGroup.Name, Kind = input "App", Sku = input sku)) Cloud Resources with F#
25. ' Create an Azure Resource Group Dim resourceGroup = New ResourceGroup("resourceGroup") ' Create an Azure Storage Account Dim storageAccount = New Account("storage", New AccountArgs With { .ResourceGroupName = resourceGroup.Name, .AccountReplicationType = "LRS", .AccountTier = "Standard" }) Cloud Resources with VB.NET
26. Reusable Abstractions Infrastructure Components
27. Resources to Provision an Azure Function Blob App Plan Container Storage Account Function App
28. // A resource group to contain our Azure Functions var resourceGroup = new ResourceGroup("functions-rg"); // A .NET Azure Function var dotnet = new ArchiveFunctionApp("http", new ArchiveFunctionAppArgs { ResourceGroup = resourceGroup, Archive = new FileArchive("./dotnet/bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.1/publish") }); .NET Azure Function
29. Let’s run pulumi up … Type Name Plan + pulumi:pulumi:Stack functions-dev create + ├─ azure:appservice:ArchiveFunctionApp http create + │ ├─ azure:storage:Account http create + │ ├─ azure:appservice:Plan http create + │ ├─ azure:storage:Container http create + │ ├─ azure:storage:ZipBlob http create + │ └─ azure:appservice:FunctionApp http create + └─ azure:core:ResourceGroup rg create

36. var app = new CosmosApp("functions", new CosmosAppArgs { ResourceGroup = resourceGroup, Locations = ["WestUS", "EastUS", "WestEurope"], Factory = global => region => { var func = new ArchiveFunctionApp("app", new ArchiveFunctionAppArgs { ResourceGroupName = resourceGroup.Name, Location = region.Location, Archive = new FileArchive("./app/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.2/publish"), AppSettings = { { "CosmosDBConnection", global.ConnectionString } } }); return new AzureEndpoint(func.AppId); } }); Global Applications
37. var app = new CosmosApp("functions", new CosmosAppArgs { ResourceGroup = resourceGroup, Locations = ["WestUS", "EastUS", "WestEurope"], Factory = global => region => { var func = new ArchiveFunctionApp("app", new ArchiveFunctionAppArgs { ResourceGroupName = resourceGroup.Name, Location = region.Location, Archive = new FileArchive("./app/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.2/publish"), AppSettings = { { "CosmosDBConnection", global.ConnectionString } } }); return new AzureEndpoint(func.AppId); } }); Global Applications
38. Automated Testing Unit testing and policies
39. [Fact] public async Task InstancesMustNotHaveSshPortOpenToInternet() { var resources = await Deployment.TestAsync<MyStack>(); var resource = resources.OfType<SecurityGroup>().Single(); var ingress = await resource.GetAsync(sg => sg.Ingress); foreach (var rule in ingress) foreach (var cidrBlock in rule.CidrBlocks) { Assert.False(rule.FromPort == 22 && cidrBlock == "0.0.0.0/0", "Illegal SSH port 22 open to the Internet (CIDR 0.0.0.0/0)"); } } Unit Testing
40. [Fact] public async Task InstancesMustNotHaveSshPortOpenToInternet() { var resources = await Deployment.TestAsync<MyStack>(); var resource = resources.OfType<SecurityGroup>().Single(); var ingress = await resource.GetAsync(sg => sg.Ingress); foreach (var rule in ingress) foreach (var cidrBlock in rule.CidrBlocks) { Assert.False(rule.FromPort == 22 && cidrBlock == "0.0.0.0/0", "Illegal SSH port 22 open to the Internet (CIDR 0.0.0.0/0)"); } } Unit Testing
41. [Fact] public async Task InstancesMustNotHaveSshPortOpenToInternet() { var resources = await Deployment.TestAsync<MyStack>(); var resource = resources.OfType<SecurityGroup>().Single(); var ingress = await resource.GetAsync(sg => sg.Ingress); foreach (var rule in ingress) foreach (var cidrBlock in rule.CidrBlocks) { Assert.False(rule.FromPort == 22 && cidrBlock == "0.0.0.0/0", "Illegal SSH port 22 open to the Internet (CIDR 0.0.0.0/0)"); } } Unit Testing
42. Policy as Code (.NET coming later) const policies = new PolicyPack("aws", { policies: [ { name: "prohibited-public-internet", description: "Ingress rules with public internet access are prohibited.", enforcementLevel: "mandatory", validateResource: validateTypedResource(aws.ec2.SecurityGroup, (sg, args, report) => { const publicInternetRules = (sg.ingress || []).find(ingressRule => (ingressRule.cidrBlocks || []).find(cidr => cidr === "0.0.0.0/0")); if (publicInternetRules) { report("Ingress rules with public internet access are prohibited."); } }), }, ], });
