Kubernetes Guestbook written in HCL

The Kubernetes guestbook application, written in HCL

This example lives in the pulumi/examples repository. Check out just this directory to use it:

Get started with this example
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:

    Terminal window
    pulumi stack init guestbook-testing
  3. Deploy the stack:

    Terminal window
    pulumi up
  4. Open the frontend IP in a browser to use the guestbook:

    Terminal window
    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:

Terminal window
pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
