Deploy the c8r-opencost helm chart on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
TypeScriptTo deploy the
c8r-opencost
Helm chart on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), we will follow these steps:-
Set up an AKS cluster: This involves creating a resource group and then provisioning an AKS cluster within it.
-
Deploy the Helm chart to the AKS cluster: Once the AKS cluster is ready, we can use Pulumi's Helm chart resource to deploy
c8r-opencost
onto the cluster.
Let's go through the process step by step.
Step 1: Setting Up an Azure Kubernetes Service Cluster
First, we need to provision an AKS cluster to host our
c8r-opencost
application. We will use theazure-native
provider for this purpose, which allows us to work directly with Azure resources in a more Azure-native manner.We'll define the necessary resources such as a resource group and the AKS cluster itself. For AKS, we will specify the required properties such as the version of Kubernetes, the size of the default node pool, and the location.
Step 2: Deploying the Helm Chart
Once the cluster is deployed, we'll use Pulumi's Kubernetes provider to interact with it. The
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
resource from the Pulumi Kubernetes provider enables us to deploy Helm charts into our AKS cluster. We'll specify the chart name (c8r-opencost
in this case), repository details, and other release settings.Let's begin with a Pulumi program in TypeScript to accomplish the above.
import * as pulumi from '@pulumi/pulumi'; import * as azure from '@pulumi/azure'; import * as k8s from '@pulumi/kubernetes'; import * as azuread from '@pulumi/azuread'; // Step 1: Create a resource group const resourceGroup = new azure.core.ResourceGroup("resourceGroup", { location: "East US", // Change to the desired location }); // Step 2: Create an AKS cluster const aksCluster = new azure.containerservice.KubernetesCluster("aksCluster", { // Use an existing resource group name resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, // Use an existing DNS prefix or create a new one dnsPrefix: `${pulumi.getStack()}-kube`, defaultNodePool: { name: "default", nodeCount: 2, vmSize: "Standard_D2_v2", }, identity: { type: "SystemAssigned", }, // Choose a valid Kubernetes version kubernetesVersion: "1.20.5", }); // Export the kubeconfig export const kubeconfig = aksCluster.kubeConfigRaw; // Step 3: Deploy the Helm chart to the AKS cluster const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("k8sProvider", { kubeconfig: aksCluster.kubeConfigRaw, }); // Reference to the AKS cluster using the Kubernetes provider const helmChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("c8r-opencost", { // Helm chart details chart: "opencost", version: "0.1.0", // Use the appropriate chart version fetchOpts:{ repo: "https://helm.YOUR_HELM_CHART_REPO.com", // Replace with the Helm chart repository }, // Specify namespace or leave it to default namespace: "cost-management" }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // Export the Helm chart status export const helmChartStatus = helmChart.status;
In this program, replace
YOUR_HELM_CHART_REPO
with the URL of the repository where thec8r-opencost
Helm chart is located. Also, make sure to select the correct Kubernetes version supported by AKS at the time of deployment. Adjust thevmSize
if necessary to meet your workload requirements.This script creates an AKS cluster and then uses the Helm provider to deploy the
c8r-opencost
chart onto it. You could expand thehelmChart
resource's properties to include specific configurations for yourc8r-opencost
deployment by providing avalues
argument.To run this Pulumi program, save it as
index.ts
in a new Pulumi project directory. Make sure you have Pulumi and the required dependencies installed, and you have authenticated with Azure.Let me know if you need further clarification or assistance setting this up!
