Web server component using Azure Virtual Machine

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

This example provisions a configurable number of Linux web servers in an Azure Virtual Machine, and returns the resulting public IP addresses. This example uses a reusable Pulumi component to simplify the creation of new virtual machines. By defining a WebServer class, we can hide many details (see here for its definition).

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. The username and password here will be used to configure the Virtual Machine. The password must adhere to the Azure restrictions on VM passwords. Note that --secret ensures your password is encrypted safely.

   pulumi config set azure:location westus  # any valid Azure region will do
   pulumi config set azure:subscriptionId <YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_ID>
   pulumi config set username webmaster
   pulumi config set password <your-password> --secret
   pulumi config set count 5                # optional -- will default to 2 if left out

4. Install dependencies:

   npm install

5. Deploy the stack:

   pulumi up

   Previewing changes:
   ...
   
   Performing changes:
   ...
   info: 15 changes performed:
       + 15 resources created
   Update duration: 4m27s

6. Check the resulting IP addresses:

   pulumi stack output ipAddresses

   [ 40.112.181.239, ..., 40.112.181.240 ]

Cleaning up#

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

pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
