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 kubernetes-hcl-guestbook
$ cd pulumi-examples/kubernetes-hcl-guestbook

A version of the Kubernetes Guestbook application, written in Pulumi HCL. It deploys a Redis leader, Redis replicas, and a PHP frontend exposed through a LoadBalancer service. Pulumi installs the HCL language plugin and the Terraform Kubernetes provider automatically the first time you run the program.

Running the app#

1. Make sure ~/.kube/config points at a running Kubernetes cluster. The frontend service has type LoadBalancer, so the cluster must be able to provision one — on minikube, enable the MetalLB addon.

2. Create a new stack:

   $ pulumi stack init guestbook-testing

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. Open the frontend IP in a browser to use the guestbook:

   $ pulumi stack output frontend_ip

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