1. Deploy the external-dns-host-network helm chart on Digital Ocean Kubernetes Service

    TypeScript

    To deploy the external-dns-host-network Helm chart on Digital Ocean Kubernetes Service (DOKS), we will need to follow these steps:

    1. Provision a Kubernetes cluster on Digital Ocean.
    2. Install the Helm chart for external-dns-host-network on the DOKS cluster.

    We'll start by creating a new Pulumi project using TypeScript. You should have Pulumi installed and configured with Digital Ocean access token.

    First, create a new directory for your project and initialize a new Pulumi project:

    mkdir doks-external-dns && cd doks-external-dns pulumi new typescript

    This will create some boilerplate files for your project, including index.ts, which is where we will write our code.

    Now, edit index.ts to provision a DOKS cluster and deploy the external-dns-host-network Helm chart:

    import * as digitalocean from "@pulumi/digitalocean"; import * as kubernetes from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; const clusterName = "external-dns-cluster"; // Step 1: Provision a DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster const cluster = new digitalocean.KubernetesCluster(clusterName, { region: digitalocean.Regions.NYC1, version: "latest", nodePool: { name: "default-pool", size: digitalocean.DropletSlugs.DropletS2VCPU2GB, nodeCount: 2, } }); // Export the DigitalOcean Kubeconfig export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeConfigs[0].rawConfig; // Step 2: Deploy the external-dns-host-network Helm chart on the cluster const externalDnsChart = new kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart("external-dns-host-network", { chart: "external-dns", version: "5.1.3", // Use the correct version of the chart fetchOpts: { repo: "https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami", // The repository where the chart is located }, values: { // Values for the Helm chart // You should configure values according to your usage // The values below are placeholders and should be replaced with proper configuration txtOwnerId: "my-doks-cluster", serviceType: "ClusterIP", provider: "digitalocean", digitalocean: { apiToken: process.env.DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN, }, }, }, { provider: new kubernetes.Provider("k8s-provider", { kubeconfig: cluster.kubeConfigs[0].rawConfig }) }); // Export the Helm chart deployment status export const helmDeploymentStatus = externalDnsChart.status;

    Explanation:

    • We import the necessary packages from Pulumi's DigitalOcean and Kubernetes libraries.
    • We create a DOKS cluster with the name external-dns-cluster in the NYC1 region with a default node pool configuration.
    • We export the kubeconfig, which can be used to interact with the Kubernetes cluster using kubectl.
    • We create a new Helm chart resource for external-dns using Pulumi's Kubernetes provider. We specify the chart and version and set some values that external-dns typically requires. In particular, the provider is set to digitalocean.
    • We export the status of the Helm deployment, which can be useful to confirm that the deployment was successful.
    • Note that you need to replace placeholders and actual values (e.g., DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN, chart version, etc.) based on your requirements.

    After writing this code and setting up the environment variables (like DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN), you can deploy this configuration by running:

    pulumi up

    This command will show you a preview of the resources Pulumi will create. If everything looks good, confirm the deployment and Pulumi will create the cluster and deploy the Helm chart.
