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 gcp-py-instance-nginx cd pulumi-examples/gcp-py-instance-nginx ``` Starting point for building the Pulumi nginx server sample in Google Cloud Platform. This example deploys two GCP virtual machines: - a virtual machine running nginx via a [startup script](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/startupscript) - a virtual machine running nginx via a Docker container with Google's [Container-Optimized OS](https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs) ## Running the App 1. Create a new stack: ```bash $ pulumi stack init gcp-instance-nginx ``` 1. Configure the project: ```bash $ export GOOGLE_PROJECT=YOURPROJECTID; export GOOGLE_REGION=asia-east1; export GOOGLE_ZONE=asia-east1-a; $ export GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS=YOURGCPCREDENTIALS ``` 1. Run `pulumi up` to preview and deploy changes: ```bash $ pulumi up Previewing update (dev): Type Name Plan + pulumi:pulumi:Stack gcp-instance-nginx-dev create + ├─ gcp:compute:Address poc create + ├─ gcp:compute:Network poc create + ├─ gcp:compute:Address poc-container-instance create + ├─ gcp:compute:Firewall poc create + ├─ gcp:compute:Instance poc create + └─ gcp:compute:Instance poc-container-instance create Resources: + 7 to create Do you want to perform this update? yes Updating (dev): Type Name Status + pulumi:pulumi:Stack gcp-instance-nginx-dev created + ├─ gcp:compute:Address poc created + ├─ gcp:compute:Network poc created + ├─ gcp:compute:Address poc-container-instance created + ├─ gcp:compute:Firewall poc created + ├─ gcp:compute:Instance poc created + └─ gcp:compute:Instance poc-container-instance created Outputs: container_instance_external_ip: "34.66.98.237" container_instance_name : "poc-container-instance-11dddc1" instance_external_ip : "35.192.222.243" instance_name : "poc-4897b20" Resources: + 7 created Duration: 59s ``` 1. Curl the HTTP server: ```bash $ curl $(pulumi stack output instance_external_ip) Test Page for the Nginx HTTP Server on Fedora

Welcome to nginx on Fedora!

This page is used to test the proper operation of the nginx HTTP server after it has been installed. If you can read this page, it means that the web server installed at this site is working properly.

Website Administrator

This is the default index.html page that is distributed with nginx on Fedora. It is located in /usr/share/nginx/html.

You should now put your content in a location of your choice and edit the root configuration directive in the nginx configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.

``` 1. Destroy the created resources: ```bash $ pulumi destroy Previewing destroy (dev): Type Name Plan - pulumi:pulumi:Stack gcp-instance-nginx-dev delete - ├─ gcp:compute:Firewall poc delete - ├─ gcp:compute:Instance poc delete - ├─ gcp:compute:Instance poc-container-instance delete - ├─ gcp:compute:Address poc-container-instance delete - ├─ gcp:compute:Network poc delete - └─ gcp:compute:Address poc delete Outputs: - container_instance_external_ip: "34.66.98.237" - container_instance_name : "poc-container-instance-11dddc1" - instance_external_ip : "35.192.222.243" - instance_name : "poc-4897b20" Resources: - 7 to delete Do you want to perform this destroy? yes Destroying (dev): Type Name Status - pulumi:pulumi:Stack gcp-instance-nginx-dev deleted - ├─ gcp:compute:Firewall poc deleted - ├─ gcp:compute:Instance poc deleted - ├─ gcp:compute:Instance poc-container-instance deleted - ├─ gcp:compute:Network poc deleted - ├─ gcp:compute:Address poc-container-instance deleted - └─ gcp:compute:Address poc deleted Outputs: - container_instance_external_ip: "34.66.98.237" - container_instance_name : "poc-container-instance-11dddc1" - instance_external_ip : "35.192.222.243" - instance_name : "poc-4897b20" Resources: - 7 deleted Duration: 3m9s ``` 1. Destroy the stack: ```bash $ pulumi stack rm This will permanently remove the 'gcp-instance-nginx' stack! Please confirm that this is what you'd like to do by typing ("gcp-instance-nginx"): gcp-instance-nginx Stack 'gcp-instance-nginx' has been removed! ```
