Executable Tutorial Proposal #2540
Conversation
Hey I am finished with the tutorial. I am unable to get to gpg to work cause at least seem like the key is expire so I can not encrypt using the public key block. So I just leave a temporal token access key in the tutorial or that user can create account on Pulumi to generate their own stack. |
Sounds good! Also update this information in your tutorial with KillerCoda. |
ok I have update it and it it in the intro of the killercoda |
FeedbackDisclaimer: "I/We certify that generative AI, incl. ChatGPT, has not been used to write this feedback. Using generative AI without permission is considered academic misconduct." High-level strengthsThis is a tutorial that in detail describes the process of utilizing Pulumi as a tool for IaC setting up a containerized nginx and redis service through a python script. Due to the step-by-step description, one can imagine making minor modifications to the tutorial and using it in a real-world scenario according to one's own preferences. For example, this could be switching nginx to apache. The use case of deploying web servers is also very common so it is likely to cater to many people. The tutorial is relatively easy to execute (despite being a somewhat advanced use case) which is very good. Furthermore, Pulumi seems like a great choice for IaC as it seemingly is a common and versatile tool. It is important to emphasize that the constructive feedback that follows is delivered in the context that this is a somewhat advanced use case and our impression is that the tutorial in general is of higher quality than the average submission. High-level weaknessesThe introduction could include a motivating section that highlights the benefits of Pulumi as an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool, explaining why users should choose it over other tools. The main titles of individual pages could be adjusted to better align with the content, ensuring they accurately represent all aspects of content, rather than focusing on just one part. This would give the reader a clear understanding of the main points just from the titles. For example titles like “Download Pulumi” and “Setting up Pulumi”. "Copy to clipboard" button/function would have been more helpful for the code blocks in the tutorial. Detailed feedback per tutorial sectionStep 1: Introduction
Step 2: Download Pulumi
Step 3: Setting up Pulumi
Step 4: Deploy a Container
Step 5: Multiple Container Deployment
SummaryTo conclude, this is a great tutorial that educates the reader (it did for us!), and it is overwhelmingly a positive learning experience with a few minor drawbacks. Automation and repeatability are important in DevOps and IaC and we believe the tutorial accurately illustrates such a process. Finally, we came here hungry this morning and expected Quang to serve us some fried eggs to go along with the coffee, as we have heard he commonly does. Preposterously, imagining his kitchen has been raided one too many times, he has seemingly hidden the eggs too carefully for our naked eyes. |

Description
This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on using Pulumi for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to install, set up, and create/deploy an infrastructure consisting of an NGINX web server and multiple services such as NGINX and Redis using Docker containers. It covers the process of defining and managing infrastructure resources using Pulumi, enabling users to easily provision and manage their infrastructure in a declarative manner. By following this tutorial, users will gain hands-on experience in leveraging Pulumi for DevOps practices in managing their infrastructure.
Relevance
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a fundamental practice in DevOps that allows teams to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure resources. Pulumi is a modern IaC tool that enables developers to define and manage infrastructure resources using familiar programming languages. By using Pulumi, teams can achieve greater flexibility, consistency, and scalability in managing their infrastructure, aligning with the DevOps goal of automating and streamlining the development and deployment processes. This tutorial aims to introduce users to Pulumi and demonstrate its capabilities in managing infrastructure resources effectively.
