Executing Remote Commands with Pulumi

Executing Remote Commands with Pulumi

We recently announced in our release blog (66) a new package: Command. In this article, I want to show you a practical application of this that will allow us to deploy k3s to a DigitalOcean droplet. We’ll then leverage the Command package to run a remote command to fetch the kubeconfig, generated on the VM, and pull it down to create a Kubernetes provider to deploy nginx. So, let’s get started by deploying our Digital Ocean droplet.
