# Easy container example
Companion to the tutorial [Provision containers on AWS](https://pulumi.io/quickstart/aws-containers.html).
## Prerequisites
To run this example, make sure [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/) is installed and running.
## Running the App
Note: some values in this example will be different from run to run. These values are indicated
with `***`.
1. Create a new stack:
```
$ pulumi stack init containers-dev
```
1. Configure Pulumi to use an AWS region that supports Fargate. This is currently only available in `us-east-1`, `us-east-2`, `us-west-2`, and `eu-west-1`:
```
$ pulumi config set aws:region us-west-2
```
1. Restore NPM modules via `npm install` or `yarn install`.
1. Preview and deploy the app via `pulumi up`. The preview will take a few minutes, as it builds a Docker container. A total of 19 resources are created.
```
$ pulumi up
```
1. View the endpoint URL, and run curl:
```bash
$ pulumi stack output
Current stack outputs (1)
OUTPUT VALUE
hostname http://***.elb.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
$ curl $(pulumi stack output hostname)
Hello, Pulumi!
Hello, S3!
Made with ❤️ with Pulumi
```
1. To view the runtime logs from the container, use the `pulumi logs` command. To get a log stream, use `pulumi logs --follow`.
```
$ pulumi logs --follow

## Clean up
To clean up resources, run `pulumi destroy` and answer the confirmation question at the prompt.
