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 AWS credentials
3. Install Python

Deploying the example#

1. Create a new stack:

   pulumi stack init python-webserver-testing

2. Set the AWS region to deploy into:

   pulumi config set aws:region us-west-2

3. Install dependencies:

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

4. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes:

   pulumi up

   2: aws:ec2:SecurityGroup  web-secgrp                             + created
   3: aws:ec2:Instance       web-server-www                         + created
   
   info: 3 changes performed:
       + 3 resources created
   Update duration: 26.470339302s

5. 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

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

Cleaning up#

Once you’re finished experimenting, destroy your stack and remove it to avoid incurring any additional cost:

pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
