Web Server Using Azure Virtual Machine

View Code

This example deploys an Azure Virtual Machine and starts an HTTP server on it.

Prerequisites

1. Install Pulumi
2. Configure Pulumi for Azure
3. Configure Pulumi for Python

Deploying and running the program

1. Set up a virtual Python environment and install dependencies

   $ python3 -m venv venv
   $ source venv/bin/activate
   $ pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Create a new stack:

   $ pulumi stack init azure-py-webserver

3. Set the Azure environment:

   $ pulumi config set azure:environment public

4. Set the required configuration for this example. This example requires you to supply a username and password to the virtual machine that we are going to create.

   $ pulumi config set azure-web:username myusername

   The password is a secret, so we can ask Pulumi to encrypt the configuration:

   $ pulumi config set --secret azure-web:password Hunter2hunter2

5. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy the changes:

   ```bash $ pulumi update Previewing update (azuredev):

   Type                               Name                         Plan       
   

   • pulumi:pulumi:Stack azure-py-webserver-azuredev create
     
   • ├─ azure:core:ResourceGroup server create
     
   • ├─ azure:network:VirtualNetwork server-network create
     
   • ├─ azure:network:PublicIp server-ip create
     
   • ├─ azure:network:Subnet server-subnet create
     
   • ├─ azure:network:NetworkInterface server-nic create
     
   • └─ azure:compute:VirtualMachine server-vm create
     

   Resources: + 7 to create

   Do you want to perform this update? yes Updating (azuredev):

   Type                               Name                         Status      
   

   • pulumi:pulumi:Stack azure-py-webserver-azuredev created
     
   • ├─ azure:core:ResourceGroup server created
     
   • ├─ azure:network:VirtualNetwork server-network created
     
   • ├─ azure:network:PublicIp server-ip created
     
   • ├─ azure:network:Subnet server-subnet created
     
   • ├─ azure:network:NetworkInterface server-nic created
     
   • └─ azure:compute:VirtualMachine server-vm created
     

   Outputs: public_ip: “137.117.15.111”

   Resources: + 7 created

6. Get the IP address of the newly-created instance from the stack’s outputs:

   $ pulumi stack output public_ip
   137.117.15.111

7. Check to see that your server is now running:

   $ curl http://$(pulumi stack output public_ip)
   Hello, World!

8. Destroy the stack:

   ```bash ▶ pulumi destroy –yes Previewing destroy (azuredev):

   Type                               Name                         Plan       
   

   • pulumi:pulumi:Stack azure-py-webserver-azuredev delete
     
   • ├─ azure:compute:VirtualMachine server-vm delete
     
   • ├─ azure:network:NetworkInterface server-nic delete
     
   • ├─ azure:network:Subnet server-subnet delete
     
   • ├─ azure:network:PublicIp server-ip delete
     
   • ├─ azure:network:VirtualNetwork server-network delete
     
   • └─ azure:core:ResourceGroup server delete
     

   Resources: - 7 to delete

   Destroying (azuredev):

   Type                               Name                         Status      
   

   • pulumi:pulumi:Stack azure-py-webserver-azuredev deleted
     
   • ├─ azure:compute:VirtualMachine server-vm deleted
     
   • ├─ azure:network:NetworkInterface server-nic deleted
     
   • ├─ azure:network:Subnet server-subnet deleted
     
   • ├─ azure:network:VirtualNetwork server-network deleted
     
   • ├─ azure:network:PublicIp server-ip deleted
     
   • └─ azure:core:ResourceGroup server deleted
     

   Resources: - 7 deleted
