Web Server Using Azure Virtual Machine

View Code

This example deploys an Azure Virtual Machine and starts an HTTP server on it.

Prerequisites

1. Install Pulumi
2. Configure Pulumi for Azure
3. Configure Pulumi for Python

Deploying and running the program

1. Create a new stack:

   $ pulumi stack init dev
   

2. Set the required configuration for this example. This example requires you to supply a username and password to the virtual machine that we are going to create.

   $ pulumi config set azure-native:location westus    # any valid Azure region will do
   $ pulumi config set username webmaster
   $ pulumi config set password --secret <your-password>
   

   Note that --secret ensures your password is encrypted safely.

3. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy the changes:

   $ pulumi update

   +   ├─ azure-native:network:NetworkInterface  server-nic                   create
   +   └─ azure-native:compute:VirtualMachine    server-vm                    create

   Do you want to perform this update? yes

   +   └─ azure-native:compute:VirtualMachine    server-vm                    created

4. Get the IP address of the newly-created instance from the stack’s outputs:

   $ pulumi stack output public_ip
   137.117.15.111
   

5. Check to see that your server is now running:

   $ curl http://$(pulumi stack output public_ip)
   Hello, World!
   

6. Destroy the stack:

   ▶ pulumi destroy --yes
