— the description by Pulumi

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill provides a structured approach to building ComponentResource classes in Pulumi. It covers the essential anatomy of a component, best practices for designing input interfaces, strategies for managing outputs, and patterns for composition. It also details the requirements for making components consumable across multiple programming languages and how to distribute them within an organization using the Pulumi private registry or Git-based workflows.

What it does

  • Defines the required structure for ComponentResource classes including URNs and output registration.
  • Provides patterns for designing clean, type-safe, and composable input interfaces.
  • Explains how to expose only necessary outputs while hiding internal implementation details.
  • Outlines the requirements for enabling multi-language support for shared components.
  • Details methods for distributing components via private registries or Git repositories.
  • Offers design patterns for handling defaults, conditional resource creation, and provider passthrough.

When to use it

  • When you need to group related infrastructure resources into a reusable, logical unit.
  • When refactoring complex inline infrastructure code into maintainable components.
  • When you need to share infrastructure abstractions across different teams or programming languages.
  • When you want to publish internal infrastructure patterns to a private registry for organizational use.

Advantages

  • Reduces code duplication by encapsulating common infrastructure patterns.
  • Improves maintainability by grouping related resources into a single logical node.
  • Enables consistent infrastructure standards across an organization.
  • Supports multi-language environments, allowing teams to use the same components in their preferred language.

Documentation by Pulumi

Authoring Pulumi Components

A ComponentResource groups related infrastructure resources into a reusable, logical unit. Components make infrastructure easier to understand, reuse, and maintain. Components appear as a single node with children nested underneath in pulumi preview/pulumi up output and in the Pulumi Cloud console.

This skill covers the full component authoring lifecycle. For general Pulumi coding patterns (Output handling, secrets, aliases, preview workflows), use the pulumi-best-practices skill instead.

When to Use This Skill

Invoke this skill when:

  • Creating a new ComponentResource class

  • Designing the args interface for a component

  • Making a component consumable from multiple Pulumi languages

  • Publishing or distributing a component package

  • Refactoring inline resources into a reusable component

  • Debugging component behavior (missing outputs, stuck creating, children at wrong level)

Component Anatomy

Every component has four required elements:

  1. Extend ComponentResource and call super() with a type URN

  2. Accept standard parameters: name, args, and ComponentResourceOptions

  3. Set parent: this on all child resources

  4. Call registerOutputs() at the end of the constructor

TypeScript
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

interface StaticSiteArgs {
    indexDocument?: pulumi.Input<string>;
    errorDocument?: pulumi.Input<string>;
}

class StaticSite extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
    public readonly bucketName: pulumi.Output<string>;
    public readonly websiteUrl: pulumi.Output<string>;

    constructor(name: string, args: StaticSiteArgs, opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
        // 1. Call super with type URN: <package>:<module>:<type>
        super("myorg:index:StaticSite", name, {}, opts);

        // 2. Create child resources with parent: this
        const bucket = new aws.s3.Bucket(`${name}-bucket`, {}, { parent: this });

        const website = new aws.s3.BucketWebsiteConfigurationV2(`${name}-website`, {
            bucket: bucket.id,
            indexDocument: { suffix: args.indexDocument ?? "index.html" },
            errorDocument: { key: args.errorDocument ?? "error.html" },
        }, { parent: this });

        // 3. Expose outputs as class properties
        this.bucketName = bucket.id;
        this.websiteUrl = website.websiteEndpoint;

        // 4. Register outputs -- always the last line
        this.registerOutputs({
            bucketName: this.bucketName,
            websiteUrl: this.websiteUrl,
        });
    }
}

// Usage
const site = new StaticSite("marketing", {
    indexDocument: "index.html",
});
export const url = site.websiteUrl;
Python
import pulumi
import pulumi_aws as aws

class StaticSiteArgs:
    def __init__(self,
                 index_document: pulumi.Input[str] = "index.html",
                 error_document: pulumi.Input[str] = "error.html"):
        self.index_document = index_document
        self.error_document = error_document

class StaticSite(pulumi.ComponentResource):
    bucket_name: pulumi.Output[str]
    website_url: pulumi.Output[str]

    def __init__(self, name: str, args: StaticSiteArgs,
                 opts: pulumi.ResourceOptions = None):
        super().__init__("myorg:index:StaticSite", name, None, opts)

        bucket = aws.s3.Bucket(f"{name}-bucket",
            opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(parent=self))

        website = aws.s3.BucketWebsiteConfigurationV2(f"{name}-website",
            bucket=bucket.id,
            index_document=aws.s3.BucketWebsiteConfigurationV2IndexDocumentArgs(
                suffix=args.index_document,
            ),
            error_document=aws.s3.BucketWebsiteConfigurationV2ErrorDocumentArgs(
                key=args.error_document,
            ),
            opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(parent=self))

        self.bucket_name = bucket.id
        self.website_url = website.website_endpoint

        self.register_outputs({
            "bucket_name": self.bucket_name,
            "website_url": self.website_url,
        })

site = StaticSite("marketing", StaticSiteArgs())
pulumi.export("url", site.website_url)
Type URN Format

The first argument to super() is the type URN: <package>:<module>:<type>.

SegmentConventionExample
packageOrganization or package namemyorg, acme, pkg
moduleUsually indexindex
typePascalCase class nameStaticSite, VpcNetwork

Full examples: myorg:index:StaticSite, acme:index:KubernetesCluster

registerOutputs Is Required

Why: Without registerOutputs(), the component appears stuck in a "creating" state in the Pulumi console and outputs are not persisted to state.

Wrong:

class MyComponent extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
    public readonly url: pulumi.Output<string>;

    constructor(name: string, args: MyArgs, opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
        super("myorg:index:MyComponent", name, {}, opts);
        const bucket = new aws.s3.Bucket(`${name}-bucket`, {}, { parent: this });
        this.url = bucket.bucketRegionalDomainName;
        // Missing registerOutputs -- component stuck "creating"
    }
}

Right:

class MyComponent extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
    public readonly url: pulumi.Output<string>;

    constructor(name: string, args: MyArgs, opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
        super("myorg:index:MyComponent", name, {}, opts);
        const bucket = new aws.s3.Bucket(`${name}-bucket`, {}, { parent: this });
        this.url = bucket.bucketRegionalDomainName;

        this.registerOutputs({ url: this.url });
    }
}
Derive Child Names from the Component Name

Why: Hardcoded child names cause collisions when the component is instantiated multiple times.

Wrong:

// Collides if two instances of this component exist
const bucket = new aws.s3.Bucket("my-bucket", {}, { parent: this });

Right:

// Unique per component instance
const bucket = new aws.s3.Bucket(`${name}-bucket`, {}, { parent: this });

Designing the Args Interface

The args interface is the most impactful design decision. It defines what consumers can configure and how composable the component is.

Wrap Properties in Input<T>

Why: Input<T> accepts both plain values and Output<T> from other resources. Without it, consumers must unwrap outputs manually with .apply().

Wrong:

interface WebServiceArgs {
    port: number;            // Forces consumers to unwrap Outputs
    vpcId: string;           // Cannot accept vpc.id directly
}

Right:

interface WebServiceArgs {
    port: pulumi.Input<number>;     // Accepts 8080 or someOutput
    vpcId: pulumi.Input<string>;    // Accepts "vpc-123" or vpc.id
}
Keep Structures Flat

Avoid deeply nested arg objects. Flat interfaces are easier to use and evolve.

// Prefer flat
interface DatabaseArgs {
    instanceClass: pulumi.Input<string>;
    storageGb: pulumi.Input<number>;
    enableBackups?: pulumi.Input<boolean>;
    backupRetentionDays?: pulumi.Input<number>;
}

// Avoid deep nesting
interface DatabaseArgs {
    instance: {
        compute: { class: pulumi.Input<string> };
        storage: { sizeGb: pulumi.Input<number> };
    };
    backup: {
        config: { enabled: pulumi.Input<boolean>; retention: pulumi.Input<number> };
    };
}
No Union Types

Union types break multi-language SDK generation. Python, Go, and C# cannot represent string | number.

Wrong:

interface MyArgs {
    port: pulumi.Input<string | number>;  // Fails in Python, Go, C#
}

Right:

interface MyArgs {
    port: pulumi.Input<number>;  // Single type, works everywhere
}

If you need to accept multiple forms, use separate optional properties:

interface StorageArgs {
    sizeGb?: pulumi.Input<number>;      // Specify size in GB
    sizeMb?: pulumi.Input<number>;      // Or specify size in MB
}
No Functions or Callbacks

Functions cannot be serialized across language boundaries.

Wrong:

interface MyArgs {
    nameTransform: (name: string) => string;  // Cannot serialize
}

Right:

interface MyArgs {
    namePrefix?: pulumi.Input<string>;   // Configuration instead of callback
    nameSuffix?: pulumi.Input<string>;
}
Use Defaults for Optional Properties

Set sensible defaults inside the constructor so consumers only configure what they need:

interface SecureBucketArgs {
    enableVersioning?: pulumi.Input<boolean>;   // Defaults to true
    enableEncryption?: pulumi.Input<boolean>;   // Defaults to true
    blockPublicAccess?: pulumi.Input<boolean>;  // Defaults to true
}

class SecureBucket extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
    constructor(name: string, args: SecureBucketArgs, opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
        super("myorg:index:SecureBucket", name, {}, opts);

        const enableVersioning = args.enableVersioning ?? true;
        const enableEncryption = args.enableEncryption ?? true;
        const blockPublicAccess = args.blockPublicAccess ?? true;

        // Apply defaults...
    }
}

// Consumer only overrides what they need
const bucket = new SecureBucket("data", { enableVersioning: false });

Exposing Outputs

Expose Only What Consumers Need

Components often create many internal resources. Expose only the values consumers need, not every internal resource.

Wrong:

class Database extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
    // Exposes everything -- consumers see implementation details
    public readonly cluster: aws.rds.Cluster;
    public readonly primaryInstance: aws.rds.ClusterInstance;
    public readonly replicaInstance: aws.rds.ClusterInstance;
    public readonly subnetGroup: aws.rds.SubnetGroup;
    public readonly securityGroup: aws.ec2.SecurityGroup;
    public readonly parameterGroup: aws.rds.ClusterParameterGroup;
    // ...
}

Right:

class Database extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
    // Exposes only what consumers need
    public readonly endpoint: pulumi.Output<string>;
    public readonly port: pulumi.Output<number>;
    public readonly securityGroupId: pulumi.Output<string>;

    constructor(name: string, args: DatabaseArgs, opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
        super("myorg:index:Database", name, {}, opts);

        const sg = new aws.ec2.SecurityGroup(`${name}-sg`, { /* ... */ }, { parent: this });
        const cluster = new aws.rds.Cluster(`${name}-cluster`, { /* ... */ }, { parent: this });

        this.endpoint = cluster.endpoint;
        this.port = cluster.port;
        this.securityGroupId = sg.id;

        this.registerOutputs({
            endpoint: this.endpoint,
            port: this.port,
            securityGroupId: this.securityGroupId,
        });
    }
}
Derive Composite Outputs

Use pulumi.interpolate or pulumi.concat to build derived values:

this.connectionString = pulumi.interpolate`postgresql://${args.username}:${args.password}@${cluster.endpoint}:${cluster.port}/${args.databaseName}`;

this.registerOutputs({ connectionString: this.connectionString });

Component Design Patterns

Sensible Defaults with Override

Encode best practices as defaults. Allow consumers to override when they have specific requirements.

interface SecureBucketArgs {
    enableVersioning?: pulumi.Input<boolean>;
    enableEncryption?: pulumi.Input<boolean>;
    blockPublicAccess?: pulumi.Input<boolean>;
    tags?: pulumi.Input<Record<string, pulumi.Input<string>>>;
}

class SecureBucket extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
    public readonly bucketId: pulumi.Output<string>;
    public readonly arn: pulumi.Output<string>;

    constructor(name: string, args: SecureBucketArgs = {}, opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
        super("myorg:index:SecureBucket", name, {}, opts);

        const bucket = new aws.s3.Bucket(`${name}-bucket`, {
            tags: args.tags,
        }, { parent: this });

        // Versioning on by default
        if (args.enableVersioning !== false) {
            new aws.s3.BucketVersioningV2(`${name}-versioning`, {
                bucket: bucket.id,
                versioningConfiguration: { status: "Enabled" },
            }, { parent: this });
        }

        // Encryption on by default
        if (args.enableEncryption !== false) {
            new aws.s3.BucketServerSideEncryptionConfigurationV2(`${name}-encryption`, {
                bucket: bucket.id,
                rules: [{ applyServerSideEncryptionByDefault: { sseAlgorithm: "AES256" } }],
            }, { parent: this });
        }

        // Public access blocked by default
        if (args.blockPublicAccess !== false) {
            new aws.s3.BucketPublicAccessBlock(`${name}-public-access`, {
                bucket: bucket.id,
                blockPublicAcls: true,
                blockPublicPolicy: true,
                ignorePublicAcls: true,
                restrictPublicBuckets: true,
            }, { parent: this });
        }

        this.bucketId = bucket.id;
        this.arn = bucket.arn;
        this.registerOutputs({ bucketId: this.bucketId, arn: this.arn });
    }
}
Conditional Resource Creation

Use optional args to gate creation of sub-resources:

interface WebServiceArgs {
    image: pulumi.Input<string>;
    port: pulumi.Input<number>;
    enableMonitoring?: pulumi.Input<boolean>;
    alarmEmail?: pulumi.Input<string>;
}

class WebService extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
    constructor(name: string, args: WebServiceArgs, opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
        super("myorg:index:WebService", name, {}, opts);

        const service = new aws.ecs.Service(`${name}-service`, {
            // ...service config...
        }, { parent: this });

        // Only create alarm infrastructure when monitoring is enabled
        if (args.enableMonitoring) {
            const topic = new aws.sns.Topic(`${name}-alerts`, {}, { parent: this });

            if (args.alarmEmail) {
                new aws.sns.TopicSubscription(`${name}-alert-email`, {
                    topic: topic.arn,
                    protocol: "email",
                    endpoint: args.alarmEmail,
                }, { parent: this });
            }

            new aws.cloudwatch.MetricAlarm(`${name}-cpu-alarm`, {
                // ...alarm config referencing service...
                alarmActions: [topic.arn],
            }, { parent: this });
        }

        this.registerOutputs({});
    }
}
Composition

Build higher-level components from lower-level ones. Each level manages a single concern.

// Lower-level component
class VpcNetwork extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
    public readonly vpcId: pulumi.Output<string>;
    public readonly publicSubnetIds: pulumi.Output<string>[];
    public readonly privateSubnetIds: pulumi.Output<string>[];

    constructor(name: string, args: VpcNetworkArgs, opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
        super("myorg:index:VpcNetwork", name, {}, opts);
        // ...create VPC, subnets, route tables...
        this.registerOutputs({ vpcId: this.vpcId });
    }
}

// Higher-level component that uses VpcNetwork
class Platform extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
    public readonly kubeconfig: pulumi.Output<string>;

    constructor(name: string, args: PlatformArgs, opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
        super("myorg:index:Platform", name, {}, opts);

        // Compose lower-level components
        const network = new VpcNetwork(`${name}-network`, {
            cidrBlock: args.cidrBlock,
        }, { parent: this });

        const cluster = new aws.eks.Cluster(`${name}-cluster`, {
            vpcConfig: {
                subnetIds: network.privateSubnetIds,
            },
        }, { parent: this });

        this.kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig;
        this.registerOutputs({ kubeconfig: this.kubeconfig });
    }
}
Provider Passthrough

Accept explicit providers for multi-region or multi-account deployments. ComponentResourceOptions carries provider configuration to children automatically:

// Consumer passes a provider for a different region
const usWest = new aws.Provider("us-west", { region: "us-west-2" });
const site = new StaticSite("west-site", { indexDocument: "index.html" }, {
    providers: [usWest],
});

Children with { parent: this } automatically inherit the provider. No extra code is needed inside the component.


Multi-Language Components

If your component will be consumed from multiple Pulumi languages (TypeScript, Python, Go, C#, Java, YAML), package it as a multi-language component.

Do You Need Multi-Language?

Ask: "Will anyone consume this component from a different language than it was authored in?"

Single-language component (no packaging needed):

  • Your team uses one language and the component stays within that codebase

  • The component is internal to a single project or monorepo

  • No PulumiPlugin.yaml needed -- just import the class directly

Multi-language component (packaging required):

  • Other teams consume your component in different languages

  • Platform teams building abstractions for developers who choose their own language

  • YAML consumers need access -- even if you author in TypeScript, YAML programs require multi-language packaging to use your component

  • Building a shared component library for your organization

  • Publishing to the Pulumi private registry or public registry is a common reason, but not required for multi-language support

Common mistake: A TypeScript platform team builds components only their TypeScript users can consume. If application developers use Python or YAML, those components are invisible to them without multi-language packaging.

Setup

Create a PulumiPlugin.yaml in the component directory to declare the runtime:

runtime: nodejs

Or for Python:

runtime: python
Serialization Constraints

For multi-language compatibility, args must be serializable. These constraints apply regardless of the authoring language:

AllowedNot Allowed
string, number, booleanUnion types (string | number)
Input<T> wrappersFunctions and callbacks
Arrays and maps of primitivesComplex nested generics
EnumsPlatform-specific types
Consuming Multi-Language Components

Consumers install the component with pulumi package add, which automatically downloads the provider plugin, generates a local SDK in the consumer's language, and updates Pulumi.yaml:

# From a Git repository
pulumi package add <git-repo-url>

# From a specific version tag
pulumi package add <git-repo-url>@v1.0.0

For fresh checkouts or CI environments, run pulumi install to ensure all package dependencies are available. The consumer does not need to manually generate SDKs.

Authors who publish SDKs to package managers (npm, PyPI, etc.) can optionally use pulumi package gen-sdk to generate language-specific SDKs for publishing. Most component authors do not need this -- pulumi package add handles SDK generation on the consumer side.

Entry Points

Published multi-language components require an entry point that hosts the component provider process. The entry point pattern differs by language.

TypeScript (runtime: nodejs):

Export component classes from index.ts. No separate entry point file is needed. Pulumi introspects exported classes automatically.

// index.ts -- exports are the entry point
export { StaticSite, StaticSiteArgs } from "./staticSite";
export { SecureBucket, SecureBucketArgs } from "./secureBucket";

Python (runtime: python):

Create a __main__.py that calls component_provider_host with all component classes:

from pulumi.provider.experimental import component_provider_host
from static_site import StaticSite
from secure_bucket import SecureBucket

if __name__ == "__main__":
    component_provider_host(
        name="my-components",
        components=[StaticSite, SecureBucket],
    )

Go (runtime: go):

Create a main.go that builds and runs the provider:

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"
    "os"

    "github.com/pulumi/pulumi-go-provider/infer"
)

func main() {
    p, err := infer.NewProviderBuilder().
        WithComponents(
            infer.ComponentF(NewStaticSite),
            infer.ComponentF(NewSecureBucket),
        ).
        Build()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }
    if err := p.Run(context.Background(), "my-components", "0.1.0"); err != nil {
        fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }
}

C# (runtime: dotnet):

Create a Program.cs that serves the component provider host:

using System.Threading.Tasks;

class Program
{
    public static Task Main(string[] args) =>
        Pulumi.Experimental.Provider.ComponentProviderHost.Serve(args);
}

Distribution

Choose a distribution method based on your audience:

AudienceMethodHow
Same projectDirect importStandard language import
Same organizationPrivate registrypulumi package publish to Pulumi Cloud
Same organizationGit repositorypulumi package add <repo> with version tags
Language ecosystemPackage managerPublish to npm, PyPI, NuGet, or Maven
Public communityPulumi RegistrySubmit via pulumi/registry GitHub repo
Pulumi Private Registry

The private registry is the centralized catalog for your organization's components. It provides automatic API documentation, version management, and discoverability for all teams.

Publish a component to the private registry:

pulumi package publish https://github.com/myorg/my-component --publisher myorg

Version components using git tags with a v prefix:

git tag v1.0.0
git push origin v1.0.0

A README file is required when publishing. Pulumi uses it as the component's documentation page in the registry.

Automate publishing from GitHub Actions using OIDC authentication:

name: Publish Component
on:
  push:
    tags:
      - "v*"

permissions:
  id-token: write
  contents: read

jobs:
  publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      PULUMI_ORG: myorg
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - uses: pulumi/auth-actions@v1
        with:
          organization: ${{ env.PULUMI_ORG }}
          requested-token-type: urn:pulumi:token-type:access_token:organization
      - run: pulumi package publish https://github.com/${{ github.repository }} --publisher ${{ env.PULUMI_ORG }}

Prerequisites: Configure GitHub OIDC integration with Pulumi Cloud before using this workflow.

The registry supports private GitHub and GitLab repositories. For non-OIDC setups, authenticate with GITHUB_TOKEN or GITLAB_TOKEN environment variables.

The private registry automatically generates SDK documentation for each published component. Enrich the generated docs by adding type annotations to your component's inputs and outputs (JSDoc in TypeScript, docstrings in Python, Annotate() methods in Go).

Anti-Patterns

Anti-PatternProblemFix
Resources inside apply()Not visible in pulumi previewMove resource creation outside apply (see pulumi-best-practices practice 1)
Missing registerOutputs()Component stuck "creating"Always call as last line of constructor
Missing parent: thisChildren appear at root levelPass { parent: this } to all child resources
Union types in argsBreaks Python, Go, C# SDKsUse single types; separate properties for variants
Functions in argsCannot serialize across languagesUse configuration properties instead
Hardcoded child namesCollisions with multiple instancesDerive names from ${name}-suffix
Over-exposed outputsLeaks implementation detailsExport only what consumers need
Single-use componentUnnecessary abstraction overheadUse inline resources until a pattern repeats
Deeply nested argsHard to use and evolveKeep interfaces flat with optional properties

Quick Reference

TopicKey Point
Type URN<package>:<module>:<type>, module usually index
Constructorsuper(type, name, {}, opts) then children then registerOutputs()
Child resourcesAlways { parent: this }, derive name from ${name}-suffix
Args interfaceWrap in Input<T>, no unions, no functions, flat structure
OutputsPublic readonly Output<T> properties, expose only essentials
DefaultsUse ?? operator to apply sensible defaults in constructor
CompositionLower-level components composed into higher-level ones
Multi-languagePulumiPlugin.yaml + entry point; consumers use pulumi package add
DistributionPrivate registry, git tags, package managers, or public Pulumi Registry

      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
      and conversions to other media types.

      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).

      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.

      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the

      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."

      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
      subsequently incorporated within the Work.

   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.

   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
      as of the date such litigation is filed.

   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
      meet the following conditions:

      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and

      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
          stating that You changed the files; and

      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
          the Derivative Works; and

      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
          as modifying the License.

      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
      the conditions stated in this License.

   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.

   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
