# Pulumi DigitalOcean Droplets

Basic example of load balanced droplets on DigitalOcean in Python

- Source on GitHub: https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/digitalocean-py-loadbalanced-droplets

## Get started with this example

This example lives in the [pulumi/examples](https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/digitalocean-py-loadbalanced-droplets) repo. Pull down just this directory to follow along:

```bash
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set digitalocean-py-loadbalanced-droplets
cd pulumi-examples/digitalocean-py-loadbalanced-droplets
```

Starting point for building a Pulumi sample architecture on DigitalOcean.

## Running the App

1.  Create a new stack:

    ```bash
    $ pulumi stack init digitalocean-py-loadbalanced-droplets
    ```

1. Configure the project:

    ```bash
    $ pulumi config set --secret digitalocean:token YOURDIGITALOCEANTOKEN
    ```

1. Run `pulumi up` to preview and deploy changes:

    ```bash
    $ pulumi up
    Previewing update (digitalocean-py-loadbalanced-droplets):
    ...

Updating (digitalocean-py-loadbalanced-droplets):
