Pulumi Workshop: Getting Started with Infrastructure as Code on AWS

Welcome, AWS Friends! 👋

The goal of this workshop is to learn the fundamentals of infrastructure as code using Pulumi through a series of hands-on labs. You will learn how to create, deploy, and manage infrastructure on AWS using real programming languages. We will start with the basics and then build on that foundation to create a fully functioning web application.

Labs

We will cover the following topics in this workshop:

• Create a Pulumi Project
• Add AWS Resources to the Project
• Destroy the Project

Prerequisites

You will need to install these tools in order to complete this workshop:

• Pulumi
• Pulumi Account - this optional, but convenient to handle the state of the different stacks.
• Go
• AWS CLI
• AWS Account

There is also a devcontainer.json file in this repository which you can use to spin up a devcontainer with all the tools installed. Highly recommended if you are using VSCode, GitHub Codespaces or DevPods.

Cloud provider

This workshop uses AWS as cloud provider. If you don't have an account yet, you can create one here for free.
