Before you get started using Pulumi, let's run through a few quick steps to ensure your environment is set up correctly.

Install Pulumi

{{< install-pulumi >}} {{% notes "info" %}} All Windows examples in this tutorial assume you are running in PowerShell. {{% /notes %}} {{< /install-pulumi >}}

Next, install the required language runtime, if you have not already.

Install Language Runtime

Choose Your Language

{{< chooser language "typescript,python,go,csharp,java,yaml" / >}}

{{% choosable language "typescript" %}} {{< install-node >}} {{% /choosable %}}

{{% choosable language python %}} {{< install-python >}} {{% /choosable %}}

{{% choosable language go %}} {{< install-go >}} {{% /choosable %}}

{{% choosable language "csharp,fsharp,visualbasic" %}} {{< install-dotnet >}} {{% /choosable %}}

{{% choosable language java %}} {{< install-java >}} {{% /choosable %}}

{{% choosable language yaml %}} {{< install-yaml >}} {{% /choosable %}}

Finally, configure Pulumi with Microsoft Azure.

Configure Pulumi to access your Microsoft Azure account

Pulumi requires cloud credentials to manage and provision resources. Pulumi can authenticate to Azure using a user account or service principal that has Programmatic access with rights to deploy and manage your Azure resources.

{{% notes type="info" %}} Pulumi relies on the Azure SDK to authenticate requests from your computer to Azure. Your credentials are never sent to pulumi.com. {{% /notes %}}

In this guide, you will need a user account with permissions to create and populate Blob storage containers and provide anonymous access to a Blob file.

When developing locally, we recommend that you install the Azure CLI and then authorize access with a user account.

az login

After successfully logging in, you are ready to go.

{{% notes type="info" %}} The Azure CLI, and thus Pulumi, will use the default subscription for the account. You can change the active subscription with the az account set command. {{% /notes %}}

For additional information on authenticating with Azure, or to login with a service principal, see Azure Setup.

Next, you'll create a new Pulumi project.
