Description

Pulumi is an Infrastructure as Code tool that supports multiple cloud providers. The key feature of Pulumi is that it allows you to describe your infrastructure using any of the popular programming languages it supports.

Using a programming language to describe your infrastructure allows you to re-use existing programming skills and develop infrastructure code using familiar tools (such as your favorite IDE) and established development workflows and practices.

In this lab, you will learn how to install and configure the Pulumi command-line tool, and you will learn how to use it to create a web server.
