Web server using Azure Virtual Machine with ComponentResource

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 classic-azure-py-webserver-component
$ cd pulumi-examples/classic-azure-py-webserver-component

This example uses pulumi.ComponentResource as described here to create and deploy an Azure Virtual Machine and starts a HTTP server on it.

The use of pulumi.ComponentResource demonstrates how multiple low-level resources can be composed into a higher-level, reusable abstraction.

Prerequisites#

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

Deploying the example#

1. Create a new stack:

   pulumi stack init

2. Set the Azure environment and subscription:

   pulumi config set azure:environment public
   pulumi config set azure:subscriptionId <YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_ID>

3. 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. The password is a secret, so we ask Pulumi to encrypt the configuration:

   pulumi config set username myusername
   pulumi config set --secret password Hunter2hunter2

4. Install dependencies:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt

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

   pulumi up

   Updating (dev):
   
       Type                                  Name                              Status
   +   pulumi:pulumi:Stack                   azure-py-webserver-component-dev  created
   +   ├─ custom:app:WebServer               server                            created
   +   │  ├─ azure:network:PublicIp          server-ip                         created
   +   │  ├─ azure:network:NetworkInterface  server-nic                        created
   +   │  └─ azure:compute:VirtualMachine    server-vm                         created
   +   └─ azure:core:ResourceGroup           server                            created
   +      └─ azure:network:VirtualNetwork    server-network                    created
   +         └─ azure:network:Subnet         server-subnet                     created
   
   Outputs:
       public_ip: "13.64.196.146"
   
   Resources:
       + 8 created
   
   Duration: 2m9s

6. Get the IP address of the newly-created instance from the stack’s outputs, and check that your server is running:

   pulumi stack output public_ip
   curl http://$(pulumi stack output public_ip)

   13.64.196.146
   Hello, World!

Cleaning up#

Once you are done, destroy the stack and remove it:

pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
