Deploy the cyberark-sidecar-injector helm chart on Kubernetes

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the CyberArk Sidecar Injector Helm chart on a Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi, you will need to use the `kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart` resource. This resource allows you to install Helm charts from a repository or a local path and configure them with desired values.

Below is a Pulumi program written in TypeScript that shows how to deploy the CyberArk Sidecar Injector Helm chart. Before running the program, ensure you have Pulumi installed and configured with access to your Kubernetes cluster.

Firstly, you'll need to set up a new Pulumi project if you haven't already, and then install the necessary Pulumi package for Kubernetes by running `npm install @pulumi/kubernetes`.

The following program will import the necessary Pulumi and Kubernetes packages, then define a Helm Chart resource to deploy the CyberArk Sidecar Injector. You will need to specify the chart version that you wish to install along with any configurations that the chart requires. The configurations often depend on the chart and can include which namespace to install into, any overrides to default values via the `values` property, etc.

If the chart is located in a Helm repository, you'll need the URL for the repository. If the chart is stored locally, provide the path to the chart directory.

Here is an example Pulumi program which would deploy a Helm chart for the CyberArk Sidecar Injector (note that you would replace `'http://myhelmrepo.example.com'` with the actual repository URL and `'1.5.0'` with the actual chart version you are deploying):

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

// Instantiate a Kubernetes Helm Chart for the CyberArk Sidecar Injector
const cyberarkSidecarInjector = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("cyberark-sidecar-injector", {
    chart: "cyberark-sidecar-injector",
    version: "1.5.0", // specify the chart version
    fetchOpts: {
        repo: "http://myhelmrepo.example.com", // specify the Helm repo URL
    },
    // Provide custom values for the chart's configuration
    // Below is a fictitious example, you will need to supply actual values based on the chart's requirements.
    values: {
        // Placeholder values; replace with actual values required by the chart
        someValue: "some-setting",
        anotherValue: "another-setting",
    },
    // Define the namespace where the chart should be deployed; if not specified, 'default' is used
    namespace: "your-namespace", // specify the namespace (create if it does not exist)
});

// Export the chart name
export const chartName = cyberarkSidecarInjector.metadata.name;
```

This above Pulumi program will deploy the CyberArk Sidecar Injector Helm chart on a Kubernetes cluster. Exports are used to output information from your Pulumi program that is usable elsewhere. In this case, we are simply exporting the generated name of the Helm chart for reference.

Remember to replace `'http://myhelmrepo.example.com'` with your actual Helm repository URL and the `values` with appropriate values for your deployment. These values should be according to the CyberArk Sidecar Injector Helm chart's documentation and your specific requirements. The `namespace` parameter specifies where the chart should be installed. If omitted, Pulumi will use the cluster's default namespace.

To apply the changes and deploy the chart, run `pulumi up`, and Pulumi will execute the plan and provision the resources accordingly.

Please consult the [Pulumi Kubernetes provider documentation](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/kubernetes/helm/v3/chart/) for more details on deploying Helm charts with Pulumi.
