Deploy the mysql-workbench helm chart on Kubernetes

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy a Helm chart on Kubernetes using Pulumi, you would typically use the `Chart` resource from the Pulumi `kubernetes` package. A Helm chart is a collection of pre-configured Kubernetes resources that can be deployed as a single unit.

For deploying the `mysql-workbench` Helm chart, you will need the following prerequisites:

- A running Kubernetes cluster.
- Helm and Pulumi installed on your machine.
- Access to the cluster with `kubectl` configured.
- The Helm chart repository that contains `mysql-workbench`.

If you don't have a specific Helm chart repository for `mysql-workbench`, you may have to search for it or use the default stable repository.

Here is the Pulumi TypeScript program that demonstrates how to deploy the `mysql-workbench` Helm chart:

```typescript
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

// Create an instance of the Chart class that describes the Helm chart and
// it's desired state. The Chart resource will communicate with the Helm
// package manager to install the chart.
const mysqlWorkbenchChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("mysql-workbench", {
    // You can specify the chart repo here, but since 'mysql-workbench' is a 
    // hypothetical chart, you'd replace "repoURL" with the actual repository URL.
    // For example: `https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami`
    repo: "repoURL",
    chart: "mysql-workbench",
    // Specify the version of the chart to be installed.
    version: "chartVersion",
    // Values to pass to the Helm chart. Here you'd configure MySQL Workbench
    // specific settings according to the chart's values.yaml file.
    values: {
        // Custom values go here, for example:
        // service: {
        //   type: "ClusterIP"
        // },
        // mysqlWorkbench: {
        //   username: "user",
        //   password: "pass"
        // },
    },
});

// Export the endpoint of the MySQL Workbench service. The exact path to
// the endpoint depends on how the Helm chart exposes it.
export const endpoint = mysqlWorkbenchChart.getResourceProperty(
    "v1/Service", "mysql-workbench-service", "status"
).apply(status => status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname || status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip);
```

In the above program, replace `"repoURL"` with the URL of the chart repository containing `mysql-workbench` and `"chartVersion"` with the version of the chart you want to deploy. You will also configure the `values` to match the configuration options supported by the `mysql-workbench` chart. This usually includes service settings, user credentials, and other MySQL Workbench specific settings you may want to customize.

Once you setup your Pulumi stack and install the required npm packages, you can deploy this Helm chart by running `pulumi up`.

Note that this example may require some adjustments based on the actual Helm chart for MySQL Workbench you are using, as I've used `mysql-workbench` as a placeholder name for the chart.
