Pulumi demo using GKE and TypeScript

This demonstrates using Pulumi to create a Kubernetes cluster in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

You can find instructions for installing the Pulumi CLI in the Pulumi documentation.

Usage

Install dependencies using npm:

npm install

With Pulumi, an instance of infrastructure created from a given codebase is called a "stack". You can create several stacks from the same codebase. For instance, you could create stacks called dev, staging and prod.

Initialize a stack called dev:

pulumi stack init dev

You'll also need to set some stack specific configuration options:

pulumi config set gcp:project <gcp project to use>  # Where to deploy
pulumi config set pulumi-gke-demo:password --secret # Admin pass for K8s

You can then spin up your infrastructure:

pulumi up

You can also configure aspects of what is deployed using pulumi config set. For example:

pulumi config set nginxReplicas 3
pulumi config set nginxImageTag 1.17.3-alpine

For a full list of config options see config.ts.
