Pulumi & AWS: Deploy stack
Let’s go ahead and deploy your stack:
$ pulumi up
This command evaluates your program and determines the resource updates to make. First, a preview is shown that outlines the changes that will be made when you run the update:
Previewing update (dev):
Type Name Plan
+ pulumi:pulumi:Stack quickstart-dev create
+ └─ aws:s3:Bucket my-bucket create
Resources:
+ 2 to create
Do you want to perform this update?
> yes
no
details
Once the preview has finished, you are given three options to choose from. Choosing details
will show you a rich diff of the changes to be made. Choosing yes
will create your new S3 bucket in AWS. Choosing no
will return you to the user prompt without performing the update operation.
Do you want to perform this update? yes
Updating (dev):
Type Name Status
+ pulumi:pulumi:Stack quickstart-dev created (4s)
+ └─ aws:s3:Bucket my-bucket created (2s)
Outputs:
bucketName: "my-bucket-58ce361"
Resources:
+ 2 created
Duration: 5s
Remember the output you defined in the previous step? That stack output can be seen in the Outputs:
section of your update. You can access your outputs from the CLI by running the pulumi stack output [property-name]
command. For example you can print the name of your bucket with the following command:
$ pulumi stack output bucketName
$ pulumi stack output bucketName
$ pulumi stack output bucket_name
$ pulumi stack output bucketName
$ pulumi stack output bucketName
$ pulumi stack output bucketName
$ pulumi stack output bucketName
Running that command will print out the name of your bucket.
If you are using the Pulumi Cloud backend, you can follow the "View Live" link displayed in the CLI output. This will open the update in the Pulumi Cloud, where you can view the output and explore detailed information about your stack such as its activity, resources, and configuration.

Now that the bucket has been provisioned, let’s modify the program to host a static website.
