Executing Remote Commands with Pulumi

The article describes a process for deploying a Kubernetes cluster using k3s on a DigitalOcean droplet, utilizing a newly announced Command package to streamline the deployment. The procedure involves creating an SSH key, registering it with DigitalOcean, and generating a cloud-init configuration to ensure necessary tools like curl are installed on the machine. The cloud-init scripts also configure the droplet to bind the public IP address and install k3s. Traditionally, obtaining the kubeconfig file from the virtual machine required static manifests, but with the new Command package, users can execute a remote command to fetch the kubeconfig, which enhances the integration with Pulumi for Kubernetes resource management. The article concludes with deploying an nginx server by setting up a Kubernetes provider using the fetched kubeconfig, demonstrating the flexibility and utility of the Command package for executing commands both locally and remotely.
