Web Server Using Amazon EC2

This example lives in the pulumi/examples repository. Check out just this directory to use it:

$ git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
$ git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set aws-py-webserver
$ cd pulumi-examples/aws-py-webserver

An example based on the Amazon sample at: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/deploying.applications.html. The example deploys an EC2 instance and opens port 80.

Prerequisites#

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

Deploying and running the program#

1. Create a new stack:

   $ pulumi stack init python-webserver-testing

2. Set the AWS region:

   $ pulumi config set aws:region us-west-2

3. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes:

   $ pulumi up
   Previewing stack 'python-webserver-testing'
   Previewing changes:
   ...
   
   Do you want to proceed? yes
   Updating stack 'python-webserver-testing'
   Performing changes:
   
   #: Resource Type          Name                                   Status     Extra Info

4. View the host name and IP address of the instance via stack output:

   $ pulumi stack output
   Current stack outputs (2):
       OUTPUT                                           VALUE
       public_dns                                       ec2-34-217-176-141.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
       public_ip                                        34.217.176.141

5. Verify that the EC2 instance exists, by either using the AWS Console or running aws ec2 describe-instances.

Clean up#

To clean up resources, run pulumi destroy and answer the confirmation question at the prompt.
