1. Deploy the wavefront-hpa-adapter helm chart on Rancher

    TypeScript

    Deploying Helm charts with Pulumi involves a few steps, and the specific case of deploying to a Rancher-managed Kubernetes cluster requires some prerequisites.

    Before proceeding, ensure that you have:

    1. Rancher Cluster: A working Rancher Kubernetes cluster where you can deploy applications. You should have the kubeconfig file for this cluster.
    2. Pulumi: Installation of Pulumi CLI on your system and setup done for the desired cloud provider.
    3. Helm: The Helm CLI installed on your system.
    4. Rancher2 Pulumi Provider: The Pulumi provider for interfacing with Rancher2's API (which you'd need to install and setup beforehand).
    5. Access and credentials: Necessary permissions and credentials setup to deploy resources on the Rancher cluster.

    In this guide, we will be creating a Pulumi program in TypeScript which deploys the wavefront-hpa-adapter Helm chart to a Rancher-managed Kubernetes cluster. We will use the Rancher2 provider for Pulumi to manage resources within Rancher.

    Here is a step-by-step TypeScript program that accomplishes the deployment:

    import * as pulumi from '@pulumi/pulumi'; import * as k8s from '@pulumi/kubernetes'; import * as rancher2 from '@pulumi/rancher2'; // Step 1: Load the kubeconfig from Rancher. In a real scenario, you'd probably fetch this from Pulumi's config. const kubeconfig = pulumi.output('<your-rancher-cluster-kubeconfig>'); // Step 2: Create a Pulumi Kubernetes provider using the Rancher kubeconfig. const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider('rancher-k8s', { kubeconfig }); // Step 3: Deploy the wavefront-hpa-adapter Helm chart. const wavefrontHpaAdapterChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart('wavefront-hpa-adapter', { // To specify the chart version you can add version keyword in the ChartOpts chart: 'wavefront-hpa-adapter', version: '<chart-version>', // specify the chart version here namespace: 'kube-system', // assumes the Helm chart installs into 'kube-system' namespace // Values for the Helm chart can be provided here. For instance: values: { // ... provide the necessary values here }, }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // Export resources such as the Chart name export const chartName = wavefrontHpaAdapterChart.metadata.apply(meta => meta.name);

    Replace <your-rancher-cluster-kubeconfig> and <chart-version> with your specific Rancher kubeconfig content and the exact version of the wavefront-hpa-adapter chart you want to deploy. In a typical real-world scenario, you would likely need to provide additional configuration via the values object to customize the deployment of wavefront-hpa-adapter for your needs.

    It's important to make sure that the values object specifies the correct Helm values. You can get these details from the chart's official documentation or the output of running helm show values <chart-name> in your CLI.

    Once you have set up the Pulumi program, with the pulumi up command you can deploy the wavefront-hpa-adapter to your Rancher Kubernetes cluster. The pulumi up invocation will show you a preview of the actions Pulumi plans to take. Confirm the actions to proceed with the actual deployment.

    The export statement at the end of the Pulumi program allows you to retrieve the name of the deployed chart after the deployment is completed, which can be useful for querying the deployed resources or for setting up dependencies in more complex Pulumi programs.

    Please note that the actual content of the kubeconfig and the values you provide are sensitive and should be managed securely according to best practices. In most scenarios, these should not be hard-coded, but could be managed via Pulumi's configuration system or another secrets management approach.
