Share a Code Example for Defining a GCP App Engine Application With Pulumi.

Introduction

In this guide, we will walk through the process of defining a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) App Engine application using Pulumi. Pulumi is an infrastructure as code tool that allows you to define and manage cloud resources using familiar programming languages. In this example, we will use TypeScript, which is the preferred language for our organization.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Step 1: Install Pulumi and GCP Provider

First, ensure that you have Pulumi installed on your machine. You can install Pulumi using npm:

npm install -g pulumi

Next, install the Pulumi GCP provider:

npm install @pulumi/gcp

Step 2: Create a New Pulumi Project

Create a new Pulumi project by running the following command and following the prompts:

pulumi new typescript

Step 3: Define the GCP App Engine Application

In your project directory, open the index.ts file and add the following code to define the GCP App Engine application:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as gcp from "@pulumi/gcp";

// Create a new GCP project (if not already created)
const project = new gcp.organizations.Project("my-project", {
    name: "my-project",
    projectId: "my-project-id",
    orgId: "your-org-id",
    billingAccount: "your-billing-account-id",
});

// Enable the App Engine API
const appEngineApi = new gcp.projects.Service("app-engine-api", {
    project: project.projectId,
    service: "appengine.googleapis.com",
});

// Create the App Engine application
const appEngineApp = new gcp.appengine.Application("app-engine-app", {
    project: project.projectId,
    locationId: "us-central",
});

export const appEngineUrl = pulumi.interpolate`https://${appEngineApp.url}`;

Step 4: Deploy the Pulumi Stack

Run the following commands to deploy the Pulumi stack:

pulumi stack init dev
pulumi config set gcp:project my-project-id
pulumi config set gcp:region us-central1
pulumi up

Summary

In this guide, we have demonstrated how to define and deploy a GCP App Engine application using Pulumi and TypeScript. We started by installing Pulumi and the GCP provider, created a new Pulumi project, defined the App Engine application in the index.ts file, and finally deployed the stack. Pulumi makes it easy to manage cloud infrastructure using familiar programming languages and provides a seamless experience for deploying and managing resources on GCP.

Full Code Example

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as gcp from "@pulumi/gcp";

// Create a new GCP project (if not already created)
const project = new gcp.organizations.Project("my-project", {
    name: "my-project",
    projectId: "my-project-id",
    orgId: "your-org-id",
    billingAccount: "your-billing-account-id",
});

// Enable the App Engine API
const appEngineApi = new gcp.projects.Service("app-engine-api", {
    project: project.projectId,
    service: "appengine.googleapis.com",
});

// Create the App Engine application
const appEngineApp = new gcp.appengine.Application("app-engine-app", {
    project: project.projectId,
    locationId: "us-central",
});

// Export the App Engine application URL
export const appEngineUrl = pulumi.interpolate\`https://\${project.projectId}.appspot.com\`;
