Simple and Component-based Kubernetes Guestbook Apps

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

A port of the standard Kubernetes Guestbook to Pulumi. This example shows you how to build and deploy a simple, multi-tier web application using Kubernetes and Docker, and consists of three components:

• A single-instance Redis master to store guestbook entries
• Multiple replicated Redis instances to serve reads
• Multiple web frontend instances

Unlike the original, which is defined in YAML and applied with kubectl, this version is authored in TypeScript and deployed with the Pulumi CLI.

There is an interactive Tutorial available for this example. If this is your first time using Pulumi for Kubernetes, we recommend starting there.

In this directory, you will find two variants of the Guestbook:

1. simple/ is a straight port of the original YAML.
2. components demonstrates benefits of using a real language, namely eliminating boilerplate through the use of real component abstractions.

Both examples provision the exact same Kubernetes Guestbook application, but showcase different aspects of Pulumi.
