Simple and Component-based Kubernetes Guestbook Apps

View Code Deploy this example with Pulumi

A port of the standard Kubernetes Guestbook to Pulumi. This example shows you how to build and deploy a simple, multi-tier web application using Kubernetes and Docker, and consists of three components:

  • A single-instance Redis master to store guestbook entries
  • Multiple replicated Redis instances to serve reads
  • Multiple web frontend instances

In this directory, you will find two variants of the Guestbook:

  1. simple/ is a straight port of the original YAML.
  2. components demonstrates benefits of using a real language, namely eliminating boilerplate through the use of real component abstractions.

Both examples provision the exact same Kubernetes Guestbook application, but showcase different aspects of Pulumi.
