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-ts-webserver
$ cd pulumi-examples/aws-ts-webserver

This example deploys a simple AWS EC2 virtual machine running a Python web server.

Prerequisites#

1. Install Pulumi
2. Configure AWS credentials
3. Install Node.js

Deploying the example#

1. Create a new stack, which is an isolated deployment target for this example:

   pulumi stack init

2. Set the AWS region to deploy into:

   pulumi config set aws:region us-east-1

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install

4. Stand up the VM, which will also boot up your Python web server on port 80:

   pulumi up

5. After a couple minutes, your VM will be ready, and two stack outputs are printed:

   pulumi stack output

   Current stack outputs (2):
   OUTPUT          VALUE
   publicHostName  ec2-53-40-227-82.compute-1.amazonaws.com
   publicIp        53.40.227.82

6. Thanks to the security group making port 80 accessible to the 0.0.0.0/0 CIDR block (all addresses), we can curl it:

   curl $(pulumi stack output publicIp)

   Hello, World!

7. From there, feel free to experiment. Simply making edits and running pulumi up will incrementally update your VM.

Cleaning up#

Once you’re finished experimenting, destroy your stack and remove it:

pulumi destroy --yes
pulumi stack rm --yes
