As Pulumi creates a project for you, the CLI will walk you through a few steps. You can choose to set your project name, description, stack name, and azure location, or you can use the defaults that Pulumi provides by hitting the Enter key. It’s totally up to you.

Once you have this set up, you should have an index.ts, Pulumi.yaml, & Pulumi.dev.yaml (If you didn’t change the stack name).

Let’s go through what each of these files actually does:

index.ts – This is the entry point of our code. If we declare any Azure resources in this file, Pulumi will create it for us.
Pulumi.yaml – This defines the Pulumi project.
Pulumu.dev.yaml – This file contains configuration values for the dev stack. You could think about stacks the way you would think about your environments. You could create a staging stack and have those config values map to your staging environment, you could also do that for your local environment and your production environment.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure";
const environment = pulumi.getStack();
const location = "WestEurope";
const resourceGroupName = "tutorial-rg";
const appservicePlanName = "tutorial-plan";
const storageAccountName = "tutorialstore";
const functionAppName = "tutorial-app";
// Create Resource Group
export const resourceGroup = new azure.core.ResourceGroup(resourceGroupName, 
{
    location,
    name: resourceGroupName,
    tags: {
        environment
    }
});
// Create app service plan
export const asp = new azure.appservice.Plan(appservicePlanName, {
    kind: "App",
    location,
    name: appservicePlanName,
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    sku: {
        size: "S1",
        tier: "Premium V2"
    },
    maximumElasticWorkerCount: 1
});
// Storage account for the function app
export const store = new azure.storage.Account(storageAccountName, {
    name: storageAccountName,
    accountReplicationType: "LRS",
    accountTier: "Standard",
    location: resourceGroup.location,
    accountKind: "StorageV2",
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    tags: {
        environment
    }
});
// Create function app
export const app = new azure.appservice.FunctionApp(functionAppName, {
    appServicePlanId: asp.id,
    location: resourceGroup.location,
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    storageAccountName: store.name,
    storageAccountAccessKey: store.primaryAccessKey,
    identity: {
        type: "SystemAssigned"
    },
