Pulumi Reuseable Component Workshop
This workshop will guide you through the process of creating a reusable Pulumi component to deploy to Kubernetes.
You'll first provision an application to a Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi's Component Resource mechanism.
The workshop is designed to be run from within GitPod. Hit the button below to open the repo in GitPod.
Prerequisites
Before you start with this workshop, you'll need to have the Pulumi CLI installed and be logged into the Pulumi SaaS backend to store your state.
Pulumi Login
Once the GitPod environment has initialized, you'll need to provide a Pulumi token. You can retrieve a token from here
Kubernetes
You'll also need a Kubernetes cluster provisioned and running. The Kubernetes cluster must be capable of provisioning a service with Type=LoadBalancer.
You can check you have everything you need using kubectl:
kubectl cluster-info

If you need to provision a cluster, Pulumi code to do so on digital ocean can be found in the infra folder.
