Azure Native Python Pulumi Template

A minimal Pulumi template for provisioning an Azure Resource Group and a Storage Account using the Azure Native provider with Python.

Overview

This template demonstrates:

• Provider: pulumi-azure-native
• Resources:
  • azure-native:resources:ResourceGroup — a new resource group
  • azure-native:storage:StorageAccount — a storage account in the resource group
• Output:
  • primary_storage_key — the primary key of the storage account

Use this template as a starting point to learn Pulumi, author infrastructure-as-code in Python, and build on top of basic Azure resources.

Prerequisites

• An Azure subscription with sufficient permissions
• Azure CLI installed and authenticated (az login)
• Python 3.7 or later

Usage

1. Create a new project from this template:

   pulumi new azure-python

2. When prompted, enter your project name, description, and Azure location. The default azure-native:location is WestUS2.

3. Deploy the stack:

   pulumi up

Project Layout

.
├── __main__.py        # Pulumi program defining your infrastructure
├── Pulumi.yaml        # Project settings and template metadata
└── requirements.txt   # Python dependencies (Pulumi SDK and provider)

Configuration

This template exposes the following configuration variable:

• azure-native:location — Azure region to deploy resources. Defaults to WestUS2.

Set or override it with:

pulumi config set azure-native:location eastus

Outputs

After deployment, the following output is available:

• primary_storage_key — the primary access key for the storage account

Retrieve it with:

pulumi stack output primary_storage_key

When to Use This Template

• You want a quick Azure infrastructure starter with Pulumi and Python
• You're learning infrastructure-as-code patterns on Azure
• You need a simple storage account setup to build applications

Next Steps

• Customize resource names and add more Azure services (e.g., Virtual Networks, Key Vault)
• Explore the pulumi-azure-native documentation for available services
• Migrate this template into a larger multi-stack setup
