Kubernetes Guestbook (Simple Variant)

A version of the Kubernetes Guestbook application using Pulumi.

Running the App

Follow the steps in Pulumi Installation and Kubernetes Setup to get Pulumi working with Kubernetes.

Create a new stack:

$ pulumi stack init
Enter a stack name: testbook

This example will attempt to expose the Guestbook application to the Internet with a Service of type LoadBalancer. Since minikube does not support LoadBalancer, the Guestbook application already knows to use type ClusterIP instead; all you need to do is to tell it whether you're deploying to minikube:

pulumi config set isMinikube <value>

Perform the deployment:

$ pulumi up
Updating stack 'testbook'
Performing changes:

     Type                           Name                       Status
 +   pulumi:pulumi:Stack            guestbook-csharp-testbook  created
 +   ├─ kubernetes:apps:Deployment  redis-replica              created
 +   ├─ kubernetes:apps:Deployment  frontend                   created
 +   ├─ kubernetes:apps:Deployment  redis-leader               created
 +   ├─ kubernetes:core:Service     redis-leader               created
 +   ├─ kubernetes:core:Service     redis-replica              created
 +   └─ kubernetes:core:Service     frontend                   created

Outputs:
  + FrontendIp: "35.232.147.18"

Resources:
    + 7 created

Duration: 17s

And finally - open the application in your browser to see the running application. If you're running macOS you can simply run:

open $(pulumi stack output FrontendIp)

Note: minikube does not support type LoadBalancer; if you are deploying to minikube, make sure to run kubectl port-forward svc/frontend 8080:80 to forward the cluster port to the local machine and access the service via localhost:8080.
