Web server using Compute Engine

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 gcp-py-webserver
$ cd pulumi-examples/gcp-py-webserver

Starting point for building the Pulumi web server sample in Google Cloud.

This example deploys a Google Compute Engine virtual machine — together with a network and firewall rule that allows SSH and HTTP access — and runs a simple HTTP server on it that responds with Hello, World!.

Prerequisites#

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

Deploying the example#

1. Create a new stack:

   pulumi stack init dev

2. Configure the project:

   pulumi config set gcp:project YOURGOOGLECLOUDPROJECT
   pulumi config set gcp:zone us-central1-a

3. Install dependencies:

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

4. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes:

   pulumi up

   Updating (dev):
       Type                     Name                  Status
   +   pulumi:pulumi:Stack      gcp-py-webserver-dev  created
   +   ├─ gcp:compute:Address   address               created
   +   ├─ gcp:compute:Network   network               created
   +   ├─ gcp:compute:Firewall  firewall              created
   +   └─ gcp:compute:Instance  instance              created
   
   Outputs:
       instanceIP  : "35.188.118.61"
       instanceName: "instance-91b70e1"
   
   Resources:
       + 5 created
   
   Duration: 1m51s

5. Curl the HTTP server:

   curl $(pulumi stack output instanceIP)

   Hello, World!

6. SSH into the server:

   gcloud compute ssh $(pulumi stack output instanceName)

Cleaning up#

Once you’re finished experimenting, destroy your stack and remove it:

pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
