Pulumi GCP TypeScript Template

A minimal Google Cloud Storage bucket example using Pulumi and TypeScript. This template helps you get started quickly with a basic Pulumi program on GCP.

Overview

This template provisions a Google Cloud Storage bucket in the US region and exports its URL. It demonstrates how to use the Pulumi GCP provider with TypeScript.

Providers

@pulumi/pulumi
@pulumi/gcp

Resources Created

Storage Bucket (gcp.storage.Bucket)

Outputs

bucketName – The URL of the created Storage Bucket.

When to Use

Use this template when you:

Want a quick, minimal example of provisioning GCP resources with Pulumi.
Are exploring Pulumi and TypeScript on Google Cloud.
Need a starting point for building more complex GCP infrastructure in TypeScript.

Prerequisites

Node.js installed on your machine.
Pulumi CLI installed.
A Google Cloud project.
GCP credentials configured (for example, via gcloud auth login or the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable).

Getting Started

Create a new Pulumi project from this template:

pulumi new gcp-typescript

Follow the interactive prompts to set:

Project name and description.
gcp:project (the target Google Cloud project ID).

Project Layout

.
├── Pulumi.yaml         # Pulumi project definition and template metadata
├── index.ts            # Entry point for the Pulumi program
├── package.json        # Node.js dependencies and metadata
└── tsconfig.json       # TypeScript compiler configuration

Configuration

This template recognizes the following configuration values:

gcp:project – The Google Cloud project where resources will be deployed.

Set this value in your stack with:

pulumi config set gcp:project YOUR_PROJECT_ID

Next Steps

Customize the storage bucket (e.g., change location, storage class, access policies).
Add more GCP resources such as Compute Engine instances, Pub/Sub topics, or Firestore databases.
