Deploy the wordpressmysqlenv helm chart on AWS EKS
TypeScriptTo deploy the
wordpressmysqlenv
Helm chart on AWS EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) using Pulumi, you will need to follow these steps:- Set up an EKS cluster where your Helm chart will be deployed.
- Create an ECR (Elastic Container Registry) to store your Docker images if necessary.
- Set IAM roles for the EKS to interact with other AWS services securely.
- Define and deploy the Helm chart to the EKS cluster.
Below is a detailed Pulumi program in TypeScript that orchestrates this deployment. The program uses the
@pulumi/eks
package, which provides high-level components to simplify the provisioning of EKS clusters, and the@pulumi/kubernetes
package to deploy Helm charts.Please note that this example assumes you have already configured your Pulumi environment with the necessary AWS credentials and you have installed both
@pulumi/eks
and@pulumi/kubernetes
packages.import * as eks from "@pulumi/eks"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws"; // Creates an EKS cluster. const cluster = new eks.Cluster("wordpress-cluster", { desiredCapacity: 2, // Specifies the desired number of cluster nodes minSize: 1, // The minimum number of nodes maxSize: 3, // The maximum number of nodes storageClasses: "gp2", // The default storage class to use deployDashboard: false, // EKS dashboard is not recommended for deployment }); // Export the cluster's kubeconfig. export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig; // The EKS cluster is up and running, now deploying the 'wordpressmysqlenv' Helm chart. // Deploy the 'wordpressmysqlenv' Helm chart. const wordpress = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("wp-mysql-env", { chart: "wordpressmysqlenv", version: "your-helm-chart-version", // Replace with the specific chart version you want to deploy namespace: "default", // Deploy into the 'default' Kubernetes namespace, or replace with a custom namespace fetchOpts: { repo: "http://charts.your-repo.com/", // Replace with the Helm repo URL where 'wordpressmysqlenv' is hosted }, }, { provider: cluster.provider }); // Ensure that the Helm chart is deployed using the EKS cluster's provider // Export the frontend IP of the WordPress service to access it publicly. export const frontendIp = wordpress.getResourceProperty("v1/Service", "wp-mysql-env-wordpress", "status") .apply(status => status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip);
In the above program:
- We initialize an EKS cluster with a specified number of worker nodes.
- We do not deploy the EKS dashboard since it is not recommended due to security concerns.
- We create a new Helm chart resource, specifying the chart name and version. Make sure to replace
"your-helm-chart-version"
with the actual version number of the Helm chart and the repository URL with the actual Helm repository URL where thewordpressmysqlenv
chart is hosted. - We assign the Kubernetes provider associated with the EKS cluster to the Helm chart deployment.
- We export the kubeconfig that will allow you to interact with your cluster using
kubectl
. - We also export the IP address of the WordPress service so that you can access your WordPress site once it's up and running.
To run this Pulumi program:
-
Make sure AWS CLI is configured properly on your local machine with the necessary access rights.
-
Install the required Pulumi packages using
npm
oryarn
if you haven't already:npm install @pulumi/eks @pulumi/kubernetes
-
Initialize a new Pulumi project and place the above code in
index.ts
. -
Run
pulumi up
to preview and deploy the changes.
Once the deployment is complete, Pulumi will output the necessary information to access your WordPress environment.
