Stream Analytics 'sku' bug for PostgreSQL Flexible Server Output on v2021-10-01-preview

[zehndean]

What happened?

Using the latest API Version 'v20211001preview' results in an error message from the Azure API, saying that 'sku' is missing from the request.

error: Code="422" Message="The required property 'sku' is missing from the request." Details=[{"code":"422","correlationId":"7390fcac-f601-4189-9ec4-c96032dc012f","message":"The required property 'sku' is missing from the request."

Using pulumi up with highest log verbosity revealed that the structure of the API call looks like this:

__inputs={
    map[
        compatibilityLevel:{1.2}
        contentStoragePolicy:{SystemAccount}
        dataLocale:{en-US}
        inputs:{[
            {map[
                name:{asa-input-name} 
                properties:{
                    map[
                        datasource:{map[
                            type:{Microsoft.EventHub/EventHub}
                        ]}
                    ]
                }
            ]}
        ]}
        jobName:{asa-job-name}
        jobType:{Cloud}
        location:{westeurope}
        outputs:{[]}
        resourceGroupName:{rg-name}
        sku:{
            map[
                name:{Standard}
            ]
        }
        transformation:{
            map[]
        }
    ]
}

Based on investigations with Azure support, 'sku' is expected to be inside 'properties'. Also, the (a bit deprecated) doc for the REST API and the one for ARMT confirms that.

This issue is a summarized followup of the initial analysis done in #2835, where the source and reason for the bug has been investigated.

Looks like according to the spec (https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs/blob/14d24d17491d8c2bde24532cb8cc2d663c0ffd9f/specification/streamanalytics/resource-manager/Microsoft.StreamAnalytics/preview/2021-10-01-preview/streamingjobs.json#L698), there's a sku field at the top level and inside the properties. These fields look to be flattened out to a single input and then we're putting the sku field in the top level field location rather than in the nested properties.sku. Looks to be an unfortunate side effect of clashing names during property flattening.

Hi @mijeffryes
Thanks for looking into this. Do you mean that what pulumi sends looks like according to Azure specification? I don't quite understand the part with the second ocurrence of 'sku' within properties...where do you see that?

[mjeffryes]

yes, what Pulumi is sending is valid according to the schema despite not being what the API expects. You can see there's a top level SKU field in line 699: azure-rest-api-specs/specification/streamanalytics/resource-manager/Microsoft.StreamAnalytics/preview/2021-10-01-preview/streamingjobs.json at 14d24d17491d8c2bde24532cb8cc2d663c0ffd9f · Azure/azure-rest-api-specs as well as a properties.sku defined in line 718: azure-rest-api-specs/specification/streamanalytics/resource-manager/Microsoft.StreamAnalytics/preview/2021-10-01-preview/streamingjobs.json at 14d24d17491d8c2bde24532cb8cc2d663c0ffd9f · Azure/azure-rest-api-specs

[zehndean]

So the missing sku within 'properties' is a bug of the 20211001-preview version of Pulumi in that case, right? Is there any schedule already regarding its fix?

[stepienpatryk]

any updates? this bug makes pulumi unusable for stream analytics with user assigned managed identity
