Static Website Using Azure Blob Storage and CDN

An example of a static website hosted on Azure Blob Storage + Azure CDN.

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

Get started with this example
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set azure-ts-static-website
cd pulumi-examples/azure-ts-static-website

Based on https://github.com/zemien/static-website-ARM-template

This example configures Static website hosting in Azure Storage.

In addition to the Storage itself, a CDN is configured to serve files from the Blob container origin. This may be useful if you need to serve files via HTTPS from a custom domain (not shown in the example).

Running the App#

  1. Create a new stack:

    $ pulumi stack init dev
  2. Login to Azure CLI (you will be prompted to do this during deployment if you forget this step):

    $ az login
  3. Restore NPM dependencies:

    $ npm install
  4. Set the Azure region location to use:

    $ pulumi config set azure-native:location westus
  5. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes:

    $ pulumi up
    Previewing changes:
    ...
    Performing changes:
    ...
    Resources:
    + 9 created
    Duration: 2m52s
  6. Check the deployed website endpoint:

    $ pulumi stack output staticEndpoint
    https://websitesbc90978a1.z20.web.core.windows.net/
    $ curl "$(pulumi stack output staticEndpoint)"
