Deploy the ibm-apic-operator helm chart on Opensshift
TypeScriptTo deploy the IBM API Connect (APIC) operator on OpenShift using a Helm chart with Pulumi, you will need to have a working OpenShift cluster and have configured Pulumi with access to that cluster. The Pulumi Kubernetes provider will be used to interact with the Kubernetes API to deploy the Helm chart.
The
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
resource from Pulumi's Kubernetes provider allows you to deploy a Helm chart to a Kubernetes cluster. You will need to specify the Helm chart details, such as name, repository URL (if it's from an external Helm chart repository), and any custom values you want to apply to the chart.Below is a Pulumi program written in TypeScript that demonstrates how to deploy the
ibm-apic-operator
Helm chart to an OpenShift cluster. Note that you need to ensure that the Helm chart and the corresponding Helm repository URL are specified correctly.Also, since this is a Helm chart for IBM API Connect, the chart may have certain prerequisites or specific configuration parameters that are expected to be provided. For simplicity, this program assumes default configurations but you should replace with actual values as needed.
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; // Initialize a new Pulumi Kubernetes provider instance scoped to your OpenShift Kubernetes cluster. // This uses the current context from your local KUBECONFIG. const openshiftProvider = new k8s.Provider("openshift-k8s", { enableDryRun: false, // This is set to `false` for actual deployment. Set it to `true` for a dry run. }); // Helm chart details for IBM API Connect (APIC) operator. const chartName = "ibm-apic-operator"; const chartVersion = "<chart-version>"; // Specify the actual chart version here. const chartRepoUrl = "<helm-repo-url>"; // Specify the actual Helm repository URL here. // Deploy the `ibm-apic-operator` Helm chart to your OpenShift cluster. const apicOperatorChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart(chartName, { chart: chartName, version: chartVersion, fetchOpts: { repo: chartRepoUrl, }, // Optionally, you can add custom values for the Helm chart as follows: // values: { // key: "value", // // ... other custom values ... // }, }, { provider: openshiftProvider }); // Export the Chart name and status export const chart_status = pulumi.all([apicOperatorChart.status]).apply(([status]) => status);
In the above code, make sure to replace
<chart-version>
and<helm-repo-url>
with the specific version of the IBM APIC operator chart you wish to deploy and the URL of the Helm repo where the chart is hosted, respectively. The example code assumes you are using default values provided by the Helm chart. If you need to override any of the Helm chart's default values, you can use thevalues
property of theChart
to provide your custom configuration.The
provider
property of theChart
is used to specify that this Helm chart should be deployed using the OpenShift Kubernetes cluster setup.The
export
statement is used to export the status of the deployed Helm chart so you can observe it directly from the Pulumi CLI output.To run this Pulumi program:
- Ensure you have Pulumi CLI installed and configured.
- Ensure your current
kubectl
context is set to your OpenShift cluster. - Save this TypeScript code to a file, such as
index.ts
. - Run
pulumi up
to deploy the Helm chart to your cluster.

kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
