Pulumi CI/CD & JetBrains TeamCity

    This page details how to use JetBrains TeamCity to deploy a sample infrastructure, using Pulumi. In the example below, we will deploy to AWS, but any cloud can be used.

    Prerequisites

    Sample Project

    Example Repository. You may download the project and upload it to your own repo to avoid having to clone the entire Pulumi Examples repo onto your TeamCity server.

    Configuring the TeamCity Project

    For the purposes of this guide, we are going to build a TeamCity project via the UI. An alternative way to do this, would be to use the Kotlin DSL.

    When creating a new project via the UI, we will see the project creation wizard. We are going to create a project From a repository URL from the Pulumi Examples repository. This specific repository is open source so we do not need to enter a Username and Password. We can then instruct TeamCity to proceed to the next step.

    TeamCity will tell us if it can successfully connect to the repository. If it can, then it will ask us to name this project and to create a build configuration name. We are going to name the project Examples and we will create a build configuration called Tutorial. We can then Proceed to the next step. We can click the link that says configure build steps manually and then can start creating our project.

    A TeamCity configuration is made of build steps. We can break down the steps required for us to deploy this application into a number of build steps.

    Install NodeJS and NPM Build Step

    The first thing we need to do is to ensure that NodeJS and NPM are installed on our build agents. We would chose Command Line as the build runner type and TeamCity will present us with the build runner wizard

    We are going to create a Build Step with the following parameters:

    Runner type: Command Line
    Step name: Install NodeJS & NPM
    Execute step: If all previous steps finished successfully
    Working directory: aws-ts-eks-hello-world
    Run: Custom script
    Custom Script:

    yum -y install nodejs
    npm version
    

    We can Save the step. Let’s add the next build step by clicking on Add Build Step.

    Installing Pulumi Build Step

    We are going to create a Build Step with the following parameters:

    Runner type: Command Line
    Step name: Install Pulumi
    Execute step: If all previous steps finished successfully
    Working directory: aws-ts-eks-hello-world
    Run: Custom script
    Custom Script:

    curl -sSL https://get.pulumi.com | sh
    

    Again, we can Save the step and add the next build step by clicking on Add Build Step.

    Restoring NPM Dependencies Build Steo

    We are going to create a Build Step with the following parameters:

    Runner type: Command Line
    Step name: Restore Dependencies
    Execute step: If all previous steps finished successfully
    Working directory: aws-ts-eks-hello-world
    Run: Custom script
    Custom Script:

    curl -o aws-iam-authenticator https://amazon-eks.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1.13.7/2019-06-11/bin/linux/amd64/aws-iam-authenticator
    chmod +x ./aws-iam-authenticator
    mkdir -p $HOME/bin && cp ./aws-iam-authenticator $HOME/bin/aws-iam-authenticator
    npm install
    

    Again, we can Save the step and add the next build step by clicking on Add Build Step.

    Pulumi Stack Creation Build Steo

    We are going to create a Build Step with the following parameters:

    Runner type: Command Line
    Step name: Stack Creation
    Execute step: If all previous steps finished successfully
    Working directory: aws-ts-eks-hello-world
    Run: Custom script
    Custom Script:

    pulumi stack init %STACK_NAME%
    pulumi config set aws:region %AWS_REGION%
    

    Again, we can Save the step and add the last build step by clicking on Add Build Step.

    Pulumi Up Build Step

    Runner type: Command Line
    Step name: Pulumi Up
    Execute step: If all previous steps finished successfully
    Working directory: aws-ts-eks-hello-world
    Run: Custom script
    Custom Script:

    pulumi up --yes
    

    Configuring Build Parameters

    We need to create a few build parameters before we can actually run the build. The TeamCity Documentation describes how to create these parameters. The parameters we will create are as follows:

    AWS_REGION: us-east-2
    STACK_NAME: development-example

    env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID:
    env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY:
    env.PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN:
    env.PATH: %env.PATH%:%env.HOME%/.pulumi/bin:%env.HOME%/bin

    Running the build

    Now that all the steps are created and the configuration has been added to TeamCity, we can run the build by clicking on the Run button. After a few minutes, we should have a successful build. On inspection of the build log, we can see that the infrastructure has been successfully deployed:
