Web Server Using Compute Engine

View Code Deploy

Starting point for building the Pulumi web server sample in Google Cloud.

Running the App

  1. Create a Python virtualenv, activate it, and install dependencies:

    This installs the dependent packages needed for our Pulumi program.

    $ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

  2. Create a new stack:

    $ pulumi stack init dev

  3. Configure the project:

    $ pulumi config set gcp:project YOURGOOGLECLOUDPROJECT
$ pulumi config set gcp:zone us-central1-a

  4. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes:

    ``` $ pulumi up -y Previewing update (dev): Type Name Plan Info

    • pulumi:pulumi:Stack gcp-py-webserver-dev create
    • ├─ gcp:compute:Address address create
    • ├─ gcp:compute:Network network create
    • ├─ gcp:compute:Firewall firewall create
    • └─ gcp:compute:Instance instance create

    Updating (dev): Type Name Status Info + pulumi:pulumi:Stack gcp-py-webserver-dev created + ├─ gcp:compute:Address address created + ├─ gcp:compute:Network network created + ├─ gcp:compute:Firewall firewall created + └─ gcp:compute:Instance instance created

    Outputs: instanceIP : “35.188.118.61” instanceName: “instance-91b70e1”

    Resources: + 5 created

    Duration: 1m51s ```

  5. Curl the HTTP server:

    $ curl $(pulumi stack output instanceIP)
Hello, World!

  6. SSH into the server:

    $ gcloud compute ssh $(pulumi stack output instanceName)

  7. Cleanup

    $ pulumi destroy
$ pulumi stack rm
