Issue details

I would like to avoid files getting too long, so I would like to split my resources over multiple files, either by using some kind of import statement in the main file, that points to other files like:

Pulumi.yaml:

name: github-actions-runners-cluster
runtime: yaml
description: GitHub Actions Runners Cluster

resources:
  resourceFile: container.yaml
  resourceGroup:
    type: azure-native:resources:ResourceGroup

Container.yaml

resources:
  registry:
    type: azure-native:containerregistry:Registry
  workspace:
    type: azure-native:operationalinsights:Workspace
  managedCluster:
    type: azure-native:containerservice:ManagedCluster

Or implicitly by including everything from all files in a folder called "resources", in addition to the main yaml file.
Or both?

Is it possible to do this today ?

I would really like this. My Pulumi.yaml file is enormous and unwieldy

@terekete @nstires-ctgx @desteves @jamest-pin et al., I regret that I wrote something for this in the community Slack and neglected to update this issue. Using the compiler runtime option, a script can be used to merge multiple YAML files. See this repository for an example.

I'm quite partial to this style myself, as I can put the relevant configuration alongside each resource. It's definitely a "Better Helm template", in my opinion. Hopefully this workaround helps manage the complexity of your YAML configurations.

At the same time, please continue to upvote this issue though if an "in-box" solution is important to you!

@AaronFriel very cool. At first glance looks like it will do what I need.
Thank you
