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-py-webserver
$ cd pulumi-examples/gcp-py-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 dev

2. Configure the project:

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

3. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes:

   $ pulumi up -y
   Previewing update (dev):
       Type                     Name                  Plan       Info
   +   pulumi:pulumi:Stack      gcp-py-webserver-dev  create
   +   ├─ gcp:compute:Address   address               create
   +   ├─ gcp:compute:Network   network               create
   +   ├─ gcp:compute:Firewall  firewall              create
   +   └─ gcp:compute:Instance  instance              create
   
   Updating (dev):
       Type                     Name                  Status      Info
   +   pulumi:pulumi:Stack      gcp-py-webserver-dev  created
   +   ├─ gcp:compute:Address   address               created
   +   ├─ gcp:compute:Network   network               created
   +   ├─ gcp:compute:Firewall  firewall              created
   +   └─ gcp:compute:Instance  instance              created
   
   Outputs:
       instanceIP  : "35.188.118.61"
       instanceName: "instance-91b70e1"
   
   Resources:
       + 5 created
   
   Duration: 1m51s

4. Curl the HTTP server:

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

5. SSH into the server:

   $ gcloud compute ssh $(pulumi stack output instanceName)

   $ pulumi destroy
   $ pulumi stack rm
