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 firewall rule that allows SSH and HTTP access — and runs a simple HTTP server on it that responds with Hello, World!.

Running the App#

1. Create a new stack:

   $ pulumi stack init webserver-gcp-testing

2. Configure the project:

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

3. Restore NPM dependencies:

   $ npm install

4. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes:

   $ pulumi up
   Previewing changes:
   ...
   
   Performing changes:
   
       Type                     Name                                 Status      Info
   +   pulumi:pulumi:Stack      webserver-gcp-webserver-gcp-testing  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"
   
   info: 4 changes performed:
       + 4 resources created
   Update 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)
