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

1. Create a new stack:

   pulumi stack init website-testing

2. Set the AWS region:

   pulumi config set aws:region us-west-2

3. Install dependencies:

   npm 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.

5. To see the resources that were created, run pulumi stack output:

   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:

   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:

   pulumi stack output websiteUrl

   ***.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com

   

Cleaning up#

To remove the resources and the stack:

pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
