Web server using Compute Engine

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 gcp-go-webserver
$ cd pulumi-examples/gcp-go-webserver

Starting point for building the Pulumi web server sample in Google Cloud.

This example deploys a Google Compute Engine virtual machine — together with a network and a firewall rule that allows SSH and HTTP access to instances tagged web — and runs a simple HTTP server on it that responds with Hello, World!.

Prerequisites#

1. Install Pulumi
2. Configure GCP credentials
3. Install Go

Deploying the example#

1. Create a new stack:

   pulumi stack init dev

2. Configure the project:

   pulumi config set gcp:project YOURGOOGLECLOUDPROJECT
   pulumi config set gcp:zone us-central1-a

3. Install dependencies:

   go mod download

4. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes:

   pulumi up

   Updating (dev):
   
       Type                     Name                                 Status
   +   pulumi:pulumi:Stack      webserver-gcp-dev                    created
   +   ├─ gcp:compute:Network   network                              created
   +   ├─ gcp:compute:Firewall  firewall                             created
   +   └─ gcp:compute:Instance  instance                             created
   
   Outputs:
       instanceIP  : "35.185.200.158"
       instanceName: "instance-af7e53b"
   
   Resources:
       + 4 created
   
   Duration: 1m23s

5. Curl the HTTP server:

   curl $(pulumi stack output instanceIP)

   Hello, World!

6. SSH into the server:

   gcloud compute ssh $(pulumi stack output instanceName)

Cleaning up#

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

pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
