Deploy the Stack
Let’s go ahead and deploy the stack:
$ pulumi up
This command instructs Pulumi to determine the resources needed to create the stack. First, a preview is shown of the changes that will be made:
Previewing update (dev):
Type Name Plan
+ pulumi:pulumi:Stack quickstart-dev create
+ └─ kubernetes:apps:Deployment nginx create
Resources:
+ 2 to create
Do you want to perform this update?
yes
> no
details
Choosing yes
will create resources in Kubernetes.
Do you want to perform this update? yes
Updating (dev):
Type Name Status
+ pulumi:pulumi:Stack quickstart-dev created
+ └─ kubernetes:apps:Deployment nginx created
Outputs:
name: "nginx-xw231xdt"
Resources:
+ 2 created
Duration: 11s
The name of the deployment that we exported is shown as a stack output.

Note
If you are using the Pulumi Service backend, you can follow the "View Live" link displayed in the CLI output. This will open the update in the Pulumi Console, where you can view the output and explore detailed information about your stack such as its activity, resources, and configuration.
Next, we’ll make some modifications to the program.
