    We can see here in the ---outputs:--- section that Wordpress was allocated a Cluster IP, in this case 10.96.206.152. It is exported with a stack output variable, frontendIp. Since this is a Cluster IP, you will need to port-forward to the service in order to hit the endpoint at http://localhost:8080 by running the port-forward command specified in portForwardCommand.

    You can navigate to the site in a web browser.

    When you’re done, you can remove these resources with pulumi destroy:

    pulumi destroy --skip-preview

    The resources in the stack have been deleted, but the history and configuration associated with the stack are still maintained.
    If you want to remove the stack completely, run 'pulumi stack rm dev'.
