# Pulumi AWS Cloud Control Provider
The Pulumi AWS Cloud Control Provider enables you to build, deploy, and manage [any AWS resource that's supported by the AWS Cloud Control API](https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws-native/blob/master/provider/cmd/pulumi-gen-aws-native/supported-types.txt).
With Pulumi's native provider for AWS Cloud Control, you get same-day access to all new AWS resources and all new properties on existing resources supported by the Cloud Control API.
You can use the AWS Cloud Control provider from a Pulumi program written in any Pulumi language: C#, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Python.
You'll need to [install and configure the Pulumi CLI](https://pulumi.com/docs/get-started/install) if you haven't already.

> [!NOTE]
> This provider covers all resources as supported by the [AWS Cloud Control API](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudcontrolapi/). This does not yet include all AWS resources. See the [list of supported resources](https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws-native/blob/master/provider/cmd/pulumi-gen-aws-native/supported-types.txt) for full details.
For new projects, we recommend starting with our primary [AWS Provider](https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws) and adding AWS Cloud Control resources on an as needed basis.

## Configuring credentials
To learn how to configure credentials refer to the [AWS configuration options](https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws-native/installation-configuration/#configuration-options).
## Building
### Dependencies
- Go (pinned in `.config/mise.toml`)
- Node.js 20.x
- Yarn 1.22 or later
- Python 3.11.x
- .NET 8.x
- Gradle 7
- Pulumi CLI and language plugins
- pulumictl
Quick start: `make prepare_local_workspace` installs pinned toolchain versions via `mise`.
You can quickly launch a shell environment with all the required dependencies using
[devbox](https://www.jetpack.io/devbox/):
```bash
which devbox || curl -fsSL https://get.jetpack.io/devbox | bash
devbox shell
```
Alternatively, you can develop in a preconfigured container environment using
[an editor or service that supports the devcontainer standard](https://containers.dev/supporting#editors)
such as [VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers) or [Github Codespaces](https://codespaces.new/pulumi/pulumi-aws-native). Please note that building this project can be fairly memory intensive, if you are having trouble building in a container, please ensure you have at least 12GB of memory available for the container.
### Building locally
Run the following commands to install Go modules, generate all SDKs, and build the provider:
```bash
make ensure
make build
```
Add the `bin` folder to your `$PATH` or copy the `bin/pulumi-resource-aws-native` file to another location in your `$PATH`.
### Running tests
Fast local verification:
```bash
make verify
```
Provider unit tests:
```bash
make test_provider
```
Examples/integration tests (slow):
```bash
make test
```
### Running an example
Navigate to the ECS example and run Pulumi:
```bash
cd ./examples/ecs
yarn link @pulumi/aws-native
pulumi config set aws:region us-west-2
pulumi config set aws-native:region us-west-2
pulumi up
```
### Local Development
#### Additional Build Targets
`make build` can be a bit slow as it rebuilds the sdks for every language;
you can use `make provider` or `make codegen` to just rebuild the provider plugin or codegen binaries
#### Debugging / Logging
Oftentimes, it can be informative to investigate the precise requests this provider makes to upstream AWS APIs. By default, the Pulumi CLI writes all of its logs to files rather than stdout or stderr (though this can be overridden with the `--logtostderr` flag). This works to our benefit, however, as the AWS SDK used in this provider writes to stderr by default. To view a trace of all HTTP requests and responses between this provider and AWS APIs, run the Pulumi CLI with the following arguments:
```shell
pulumi -v 9 --logflow [command]
```
this will correctly set verbosity to the level that the provider expects to log these requests (via `-v 9`), as well as flowing that verbosity setting down from the Pulumi CLI to the provider itself (via `--logflow`).
