1. Deploy the mastodon-twitter-poster helm chart on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

    TypeScript

    To deploy the mastodon-twitter-poster Helm chart on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), we will first need to set up an AKS cluster. Once the cluster is set up, we’ll use Pulumi's Kubernetes package to install the Helm chart onto the cluster.

    Below is a step-by-step guide on how to accomplish this goal.

    Step 1: Provision an AKS Cluster

    The azure-native package will be used to provision the AKS cluster. This package allows us to work with Azure resources natively.

    Step 2: Deploy the Helm Chart

    After setting up the AKS cluster, we will use Pulumi's Kubernetes provider to deploy the Helm chart for the mastodon-twitter-poster.

    Let's begin with the Pulumi program written in TypeScript:

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure-native"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Step 1: Provision an AKS cluster using azure-native provider. // Create an Azure Resource Group const resourceGroup = new azure.resources.ResourceGroup("aksResourceGroup"); // Create an AKS cluster. const aksCluster = new azure.containerservice.ManagedCluster("aksCluster", { resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, agentPoolProfiles: [{ count: 2, // Number of nodes in the Node Pool maxPods: 110, mode: "System", name: "agentpool", osDiskSizeGB: 30, osType: "Linux", vmSize: "Standard_D2_v2", }], dnsPrefix: "aksClusterDns", enableRBAC: true, kubernetesVersion: "1.22.2", linuxProfile: { adminUsername: "adminuser", ssh: { publicKeys: [{ keyData: "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1...", }], }, }, nodeResourceGroup: "nodeResourceGroup", }); // Export the kubeconfig of the AKS cluster. export const kubeconfig = aksCluster.kubeConfigRaw; // Step 2: Deploy the mastodon-twitter-poster Helm chart using Kubernetes provider. const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("k8sProvider", { kubeconfig: kubeconfig, }); const mastodonTwitterPosterChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("mastodon-twitter-poster", { chart: "mastodon-twitter-poster", version: "1.0.0", // Specific chart version if needed fetchOpts: { repo: "http://some-helm-chart-repo-url/", // Replace this with the actual chart repository URL }, values: { // Provide configuration values for your Helm chart here // Example: // twitter: { // apiKey: "your-twitter-api-key", // apiSecretKey: "your-twitter-api-secret", // accessToken: "your-access-token", // accessTokenSecret: "your-access-token-secret" // } }, }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // Export the name of the chart in case needed for further reference. export const chartName = mastodonTwitterPosterChart.getResourceName();

    In the given program:

    • We define a new Azure Resource Group to organize resources related to the AKS cluster.
    • We provision an AKS cluster with two nodes and necessary details like the version, size, and SSH access configuration.
    • We export the kubeconfig, which is required to interact with the AKS cluster programmatically.
    • We create an instance of the Pulumi Kubernetes provider configured with the kubeconfig of the AKS cluster to manage Kubernetes resources.
    • We deploy the mastodon-twitter-poster Helm chart by creating a new instance of k8s.helm.v3.Chart, passing necessary details like the chart's name, version, and any specific configuration values it might need via the values property.
    • The chartName export gives you the name of the Helm release, which might be useful in future for updates or rollbacks.

    Remember to replace placeholder values, such as the SSH public key (keyData) and the Helm chart repository URL, with actual values.

    To apply this Pulumi program:

    • Install Pulumi: Follow the installation instructions if you haven't already.
    • Log in to the Azure CLI and set up your Azure account.
    • Set up your Pulumi project: Go to your project directory and run pulumi new azure-typescript if starting from scratch.
    • Save this code in a file named index.ts.
    • Replace the placeholder values with real configuration values.
    • Run the command pulumi up to deploy the program. Pulumi CLI will display a preview of resources that will be created and prompt you to confirm the deployment.
    • After deployment, the program will export the name of your AKS kubeconfig, which you can use to access your AKS cluster.

    Note that operations such as creating an AKS cluster and deploying a Helm chart might take several minutes to complete.
