Kubernetes Guestbook 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 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.

Prerequisites#

1. Install Pulumi
2. Configure Kubernetes

Deploying the example#

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. Deploy the stack:

   pulumi up

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

   pulumi stack output frontend_ip

Cleaning up#

Once you’re finished experimenting, you can destroy your stack and remove it to avoid incurring any additional cost:

pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
