NGINX 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-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
• a virtual machine running NGINX via a Docker container with Google’s Container-Optimized OS

Prerequisites#

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

Deploying the example#

1. Create a new stack:

   pulumi stack init dev

2. Configure the project:

   export GOOGLE_PROJECT=YOURPROJECTID; export GOOGLE_REGION=asia-east1; export GOOGLE_ZONE=asia-east1-a;
   export GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS=YOURGCPCREDENTIALS

3. Install dependencies:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes:

   pulumi up

   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

5. Curl the HTTP server:

   curl $(pulumi stack output instance_external_ip)

   This returns the default NGINX test page.

Cleaning up#

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

pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
