Deploying and running the program#

Note: some values in this example will be different from run to run. These values are indicated with ***.

  1. Create a new stack:

    Terminal window
    pulumi stack init website-testing
  2. Set the AWS region:

    $ pulumi config set aws:region us-west-2
  3. Restore NPM modules via npm install or yarn install.

  4. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes. After the preview is shown you will be prompted if you want to continue or not.

    Terminal window
    pulumi up
    Previewing update of stack 'website-testing'
    Previewing changes:
    ...
    Updating stack 'website-testing'
    Performing changes:
    Type Name Status Info
    + pulumi:pulumi:Stack aws-js-s3-folder-website-testing created
    + ├─ aws:s3:Bucket s3-website-bucket created
    + ├─ aws:s3:BucketPolicy bucketPolicy created
    + ├─ aws:s3:BucketObject favicon.png created
    + └─ aws:s3:BucketObject index.html created
    info: 5 changes performed:
    + 5 resources created
    Update duration: ***
    Permalink: https://app.pulumi.com/***
  5. To see the resources that were created, run pulumi stack output:

    Terminal window
    pulumi stack output
    Current stack outputs (2):
    OUTPUT VALUE
    bucketName s3-website-bucket-***
    websiteUrl ***.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com
  6. To see that the S3 objects exist, you can either use the AWS Console or the AWS CLI:

    Terminal window
    aws s3 ls $(pulumi stack output bucketName)
    2018-04-17 15:40:47 13731 favicon.png
    2018-04-17 15:40:48 249 index.html
  7. Open the site URL in a browser to see both the rendered HTML and the favicon:

    Terminal window
    pulumi stack output websiteUrl
    ***.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com

    Hello S3 example

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