Pulumi training using C# (4th session)

Exercises to learn how to use Pulumi (4th session)

Introduction

This exercise starts where we finished the previous session (a Virtual Network and a VM) but dives deeper on Pulumi reusability patterns at scale. You'll learn how to create your own Component Resource and use stack references along the way.

For a better learning experience, you way want to start with your own code from the previous training session.

Content

The network project

1. Switch to the network/ folder and create a new stack (pulumi new azure-csharp)
2. Deploy a fully functional virtual network as a component resource
   • Ensure the component resource is easily portable
3. Determine the necessary stack outputs for the webserver project to use

The webserver project

4. Switch to the webserver/ folder and create a new stack (pulumi new azure-csharp)
5. Use stack references to retrieve the necessary dependencies
6. Use the Get*() functions to retrieve existing resources
7. Deploy a VM you can SSH into in the previously created subnet (Component Resource)
   • Use stack references
   • Use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (latest version)
   • ensure you can SSH into each VM
8. Create stack outputs for:
   • the VMs hostname
   • the username
   • the password

Bonus/Challenges

9. Use Pulumi runtime functions to determine the current stack name
10. Your component resource doesn't rely on pulumi.Config()
