    Create a component

    Components are infrastructure abstractions that encapsulate complexity and enable sharing and reuse. Instead of copy-pasting common patterns, you can encode them as components.

    You will now create your first component that packages up your Kubernetes NGINX deployment so you can easily stamp out entire NGINX services in just a few lines of code:

    const nginx = new KubernetesNginxService("my-nginx", {
        isMinikube: config.requireBoolean("isMinikube")
    });
    export const ip = nginx.ip;
    
    nginx = KubernetesNginxService('my-nginx', is_minikube=config.require_bool("isMinikube"))
    pulumi.export("ip", nginx.ip)
    
    nginx, err := NewKubernetesNginxService(ctx, "my-nginx", KubernetesNginxServiceArgs{
        IsMinikube: config.GetBool(ctx, "isMinikube"),
    })
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }
    ctx.Export("ip", nginx.Ip)
    
    var nginx = new KubernetesNginxService("my-nginx", new KubernetesNginxServiceArgs()
    {
        IsMinikube = config.GetBoolean("isMinikube") ?? false
    });
    
    return new Dictionary<string, object?>
    {
        ["ip"] = nginx.Ip
    };
    
    var nginx = new KubernetesNginxService("my-nginx",
        new KubernetesNginxServiceArgs(config.requireBoolean("isMinikube")));
    ctx.export("ip", nginx.ip);
    
    Unfortunately, YAML lacks the language facilities to author components. Feel free to skip ahead.

    Using components here also has the benefit that, as the requirements for your NGINX service change, you can update the one component definition and have all uses of it benefit.

    Define a new component

    To define a new component, create a class called KubernetesNginxService that derives from ComponentResource. It’ll have a mostly-empty constructor to start with but you will add the Kubernetes resources to it in the next step. You’ll also define the inputs for the component – the isMinikube flag to determine service type – and outputs – a single property with the service ip.

    To get going, create a new file website.js website.ts website.py website.go Website.cs Website.java alongside index.js index.ts __main__.py main.go Program.cs Program.fs Program.vb App.java Pulumi.yaml and add the following:

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
    import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";
    
    // Arguments for the Kubernetes NGINX service component.
    export interface KubernetesNginxServiceArgs {
        isMinikube: boolean; // whether running on minikube.
    }
    
    // A component that encapsulates creating a Kubernetes NGINX deployment and service.
    export class KubernetesNginxService extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
        public readonly ip: pulumi.Output<string>; // the service ip.
    
        constructor(name: string, args: KubernetesNginxServiceArgs, opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
            super("quickstart:index:KubernetesNginxService", name, args, opts);
    
            // Component initialization will go here next...
    
            this.registerOutputs({}); // Signal component completion.
        }
    }
    
    import pulumi

    Unfortunately, YAML lacks the language facilities to author components. Feel free to skip ahead.

    This defines a component but it doesn’t do much yet.

    Refactor your code into the component

    Next, make three changes:

    1. Move all resources from index.js index.ts __main__.py main.go Program.cs Program.fs Program.vb App.java Pulumi.yaml into the component’s constructor
    2. Change each resource to use the component as the parent
    3. Assign the service output to the ip property of the component

    The resulting website.js website.ts website.py website.go Website.cs Website.java file will look like this; you can make each edit one at a time if preferred to get a feel for things, or simply paste the contents of this into website.js website.ts website.py website.go Website.cs Website.java :

    import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

    Unfortunately, YAML lacks the language facilities to author components. Feel free to skip ahead.

    Instantiate the component

    Now go back to your original file index.js index.ts __main__.py main.go Program.cs Program.fs Program.vb App.java Pulumi.yaml . Now that you have moved all of the resources, you can start over with a clean slate. Ensure the file is empty and we will build it back up by simply importing and instantiating our new component.

    Add this to your now-empty index.js index.ts __main__.py main.go Program.cs Program.fs Program.vb App.java Pulumi.yaml :

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
    
    // Import from our new component module:
    import { KubernetesNginxService } from "./website";
    
    // Read the configuration value:
    const config = new pulumi.Config();
    
    // Create an instance of our component:
    const nginx = new KubernetesNginxService("my-nginx", {
        isMinikube: config.requireBoolean("isMinikube")
    });
    
    // And export its autoassigned IP:
    export const ip = nginx.ip;
    
    import pulumi
    
    # Import from our new component module:
    from nginx import KubernetesNginxService
    
    # Read the configuration value:
    config = pulumi.Config()
    
    # Create an instance of our component:
    nginx = KubernetesNginxService('my-nginx', is_minikube=config.require_bool("isMinikube"))
    
    # And export its autoassigned IP:
    pulumi.export("ip", nginx.ip)
    
    package main
    
    import (
        "github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
        "github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi/config"
    )
    
    func main() {
        pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
            // Read the configuration value:
            isMinikube := config.GetBool(ctx, "isMinikube")
    
            // Create an instance of our component:
            nginx, err := NewKubernetesNginxService(ctx, "my-nginx", KubernetesNginxServiceArgs{
                IsMinikube: isMinikube,
            })
            if err != nil {
                return err
            }
    
            // And export its autoassigned IP:
            ctx.Export("ip", nginx.Ip)
            return nil
        })
    }
    
    using Pulumi;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    
    return await Pulumi.Deployment.RunAsync(() =>
    {
        // Read the configuration value:
        var config = new Pulumi.Config();
    
        // Create an instance of our component:
        var nginx = new KubernetesNginxService("my-nginx", new KubernetesNginxServiceArgs()
        {
            IsMinikube = config.GetBoolean("isMinikube") ?? false
        });
    
       // And export its autoassigned IP:
       return new Dictionary<string, object?>
       {
          ["ip"] = nginx.Ip
       };
    });
    
    package myproject;
    
    import com.pulumi.Pulumi;
    
    public class App {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Pulumi.run(ctx -> {
                // Read the configuration value:
                var config = ctx.config();
    
                // Create an instance of our component:
                var nginx = new KubernetesNginxService("my-nginx",
                    new KubernetesNginxServiceArgs(config.requireBoolean("isMinikube")));
    
                // And export its autoassigned IP:
                ctx.export("ip", nginx.ip);
            });
        }
    }
    
    Unfortunately, YAML lacks the language facilities to author components. Feel free to skip ahead.

    Deploy the component

    Now deploy the resulting component instantiation. To do so, run pulumi up as usual:

    $ pulumi up
    Previewing update (dev)
    
         Type                                        Name                  Plan
         pulumi:pulumi:Stack                         quickstart-dev
     +   ├─ quickstart:index:KubernetesNginxService  my-nginx              create
     +   │  ├─ kubernetes:apps/v1:Deployment         nginx                 create
     +   │  └─ kubernetes:core/v1:Service            nginx                 create
     -   ├─ kubernetes:core/v1:Service               nginx                 delete
     -   └─ kubernetes:apps/v1:Deployment            nginx                 delete
    
    Outputs:
      ~ ip: "10.110.183.208" => "10.96.0.0"
    
    Resources:
        + 3 to create
        - 2 to delete
        5 changes. 1 unchanged

      details
    

    This preview shows you a few things. First, you’ll see our KubernetesNginxService component with all of its children resources neatly parented underneath it. This helps to see what resources relate to which components. Next, you’ll see that your old resources are being destroyed.

    If you’re wondering why Pulumi didn’t simply update the resources in place, it’s because certain changes – like refactoring resources into a component – fundamentally change a resource’s identity. Many changes like updating properties or moving resources between files are not disruptive like this. In such cases, you can assign aliases to prevent deletions from happening.

    Accept the changes by selecting yes and the deployment will occur:

    Updating (dev)

     -   └─ kubernetes:apps/v1:Deployment           nginx                 deleted (0.92s)
    
    Outputs:
      ~ ip: "10.110.183.208" => "10.103.199.118"
    
    Resources:
        + 3 created
        - 2 deleted
        5 changes. 1 unchanged
    
    Duration: 13s
    

    Now test out your new NGINX service – it works like before, just with a tidier codebase now!

    If using Minikube: Minikube does not support type LoadBalancer. Instead, forward the NGINX service:

    $ kubectl get service
    NAME             TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)   AGE
    kubernetes       ClusterIP   10.96.0.1        <none>        443/TCP   44h
    nginx-9e5d5cd4   ClusterIP   10.103.199.118   <none>        80/TCP    6m47s
    

    The assigned name for this particular nginx service is nginx-9e5d5cd4; yours will be different. In a new terminal window, run:

    $ kubectl port-forward service/nginx-9e5d5cd4 8080:80
    Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8080 -> 80
    Forwarding from [::1]:8080 -> 80
    

    You can curl NGINX to verify it is running:

    $ $(pulumi config get isMinikube) && curl "http://localhost:8080" || curl $(pulumi stack output ip)
    
    > if (pulumi config get isMinikube) { curl "http://localhost:8080" } else { curl $(pulumi stack output ip) }
    

    Expected output:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
