Web Server on Google Compute Engine, Written in HCL

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

A simple web server running on a Google Compute Engine instance, written in Pulumi HCL. Pulumi installs the HCL language plugin and the Terraform Google provider automatically the first time you run the program.

Deploying and running the program#

1. Create a new stack:

   $ pulumi stack init webserver-testing

2. Configure your GCP credentials and set the project and zone to deploy into:

   $ export GOOGLE_PROJECT=my-project
   $ export GOOGLE_ZONE=us-central1-a

3. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes. After the preview is shown you will be prompted if you want to continue or not.

4. Curl the HTTP server:

   $ curl $(pulumi stack output instance_ip)
   Hello, World!

   The instance may take a minute to boot and start serving after the deployment finishes.

5. To clean up resources, run pulumi destroy and answer the confirmation question at the prompt.
