Azure VM scale sets

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-ts-vm-scaleset
$ cd pulumi-examples/classic-azure-ts-vm-scaleset

This example provisions a Scale Set of Linux web servers with nginx deployed, configures the auto-scaling based on CPU load, puts a Load Balancer in front of them, and gives it a public IP address.

Prerequisites#

1. Install Pulumi
2. Configure Azure credentials
3. Install Node.js

Deploying the example#

1. Create a new stack:

   pulumi stack init dev

2. Log in to the Azure CLI (you will be prompted to do this during deployment if you forget this step):

   az login

3. Configure the deployment:

   pulumi config set azure:location westus    # any valid Azure region will do
   pulumi config set azure:subscriptionId <YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_ID>

   Optionally, configure the username and password for the admin user. Otherwise, they will be auto-generated. Note that --secret ensures your password is encrypted safely.

   pulumi config set adminUser webmaster
   pulumi config set adminPassword <your-password> --secret

4. Install dependencies:

   npm install

5. Deploy the stack:

   pulumi up

   Previewing update:
   ...
   
   Updating:
   ...
   Resources:
       13 created
   Update duration: 2m19s

6. Check the domain name of the public IP:

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

   dsuv3vqbgi.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com
   #nginx welcome screen HTML is returned

Cleaning up#

Once you are done, you can destroy all of the resources, and the stack:

pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
