Deploy the rke2-calico-crd helm chart on Kubernetes
TypeScriptTo deploy the
rke2-calico-crd
Helm chart on a Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi, we will write a TypeScript program that utilizes Pulumi's Kubernetes provider. The program will define a Helm chart resource pointing to therke2-calico-crd
chart. We will use thekubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
resource to deploy this Helm chart to your cluster.In the Pulumi program below, we begin by importing necessary libraries and then create a Helm chart resource. We assume that you have already set up and configured kubectl to communicate with your Kubernetes cluster, and that you have Pulumi installed and configured for use.
Here's what the code does:
- It imports the necessary packages for Pulumi and Kubernetes.
- It specifies the
rke2-calico-crd
chart and its repository. - It configures and deploys the chart to the Kubernetes cluster.
Here's the detailed TypeScript program to accomplish this:
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Define the rke2-calico-crd chart from a known Helm chart repository. const rke2CalicoCrdChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("rke2-calico-crd", { chart: "rke2-calico-crd", // Name of the chart version: "x.y.z", // Replace with the desired chart version repositoryOpts: { repo: "https://<repository-url>", // Replace with the Helm repository URL hosting rke2-calico-crd chart }, // Values to pass to the Helm chart, it's possible to configure the chart values with this field. values: {}, // Namespace to deploy the chart into, if not specified, it will be deployed in the default namespace. namespace: "kube-system", }); // Export the name of the chart deployment. Accessible with `pulumi stack output chartName`. export const chartName = rke2CalicoCrdChart.metadata.name;
Replace
'x.y.z'
with the correct chart version you want to deploy and<repository-url>
with the exact URL of the Helm repository that hosts therke2-calico-crd
chart.Once the program is ready, you can deploy your stack using the Pulumi CLI commands
pulumi up
after navigating to the folder that contains this code. This will start the deployment process, where Pulumi will perform the necessary steps to deploy the Helm chart to your Kubernetes cluster.After the deployment is complete, you can use
kubectl
commands or the Kubernetes Dashboard to verify that the rke2-calico-crd resources have been successfully deployed to the cluster.Keep in mind that Helm charts can have configurable values that change its behavior or the resources it creates. You can customize the deployment by specifying any desired values in the
values
field inrke2CalicoCrdChart
.Remember to always review the charts and their values before deploying them to understand what resources will be created or modified in your cluster. This Pulumi program will provide an automated and repeatable process for deploying the
rke2-calico-crd
Helm chart.
