This example deploys an Azure Virtual Machine and starts a HTTP server on it.

1. Install Pulumi
2. Configure Pulumi for Azure
3. Configure Pulumi for Python

1. Set up a virtual Python environment and install dependencies

   $ virtualenv -p python3 venv
   $ source venv/bin/activate
   $ pip install -r requirements.txt
   

2. Create a new stack:

   $ pulumi stack init azure-py-webserver
   

3. Set the Azure environment:

   $ pulumi config set azure:environment public
   

4. Set the required configuration for this example. This example requires you to supply a username and password to the virtual machine that we are going to create.

   $ pulumi config set azure-web:username myusername
   

   The password is a secret, so we can ask Pulumi to encrypt the configuration:

   $ pulumi config set --secret azure-web:password Hunter2hunter2
   

5. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy the changes:

   $ pulumi update

6. Get the IP address of the newly-created instance from the stack's outputs:

   $ pulumi stack output public_ip
   137.117.15.111
   

7. Check to see that your server is now running:

   $ curl http:https://$(pulumi stack output public_ip)
   Hello, World!
   

8. Destroy the stack:

   ▶ pulumi destroy --yes
