Deploy the ucloud-exporter helm chart on Opensshift
TypeScriptTo deploy the
ucloud-exporter
Helm chart on OpenShift using Pulumi, we'll be using thekubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
class from the Pulumi Kubernetes provider. This allows us to deploy Helm charts from within our Pulumi program.Here's what the process will involve, step-by-step:
-
Set up a Pulumi project: If you haven’t installed Pulumi or set up a project, you’ll need to do that. This involves installing the Pulumi CLI, signing up for a Pulumi account, and creating a new project with
pulumi new
. -
Configure OpenShift credentials: Make sure you have
kubectl
configured with the context of your OpenShift cluster where you wish to deploy the Helm chart. Pulumi uses the Kubernetes provider, which in turn useskubectl
context to authenticate with a Kubernetes cluster. -
Specify the Helm chart details: This includes the name of the chart, the repository where it's located, and any custom configurations you want to apply.
Here is a Pulumi program that accomplishes the deployment of the
ucloud-exporter
Helm chart on an OpenShift cluster. Please replaceCHART_VERSION
with the actual version of theucloud-exporter
chart you wish to deploy. Thevalues
object can be filled out or modified to include any custom configuration you want to apply to the Helm chart. If you need to add authentication for a private Helm repository, you can add that as well withinfetchOpts
.import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Deploy the ucloud-exporter Helm chart on OpenShift. const ucloudExporterChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("ucloud-exporter", { // Replace with the correct repository and chart details chart: "ucloud-exporter", version: "CHART_VERSION", fetchOpts: { // Specify the repository where the chart can be found. // If it’s a private repository, you need to add credentials here. repo: "https://helm-repo-url/", }, // Define any custom values for the Helm chart here. values: { // For example, you might want to set a custom service type: // service: { // type: "LoadBalancer" // } // Add other custom configuration for ucloud-exporter... }, }, { provider: new k8s.Provider("openshift", { kubeconfig: "<your-kubeconfig-here>" }) }); // To get information after deployment like the status or access points, // we can export certain properties from the Chart resource. export const chartStatus = ucloudExporterChart.status;
This program sets up a new Helm chart resource using the Pulumi Kubernetes provider. It specifies the name of the Helm release (
ucloud-exporter
), the chart to use, and the chart's version. ThefetchOpts
provide the location of the Helm repository. The provider option is used to specify the Kubernetes provider instance with thekubeconfig
of your OpenShift cluster.Note:
<your-kubeconfig-here>
should be replaced with the path to your OpenShift kubeconfig, or the kubeconfig content string itself. Also, you are responsible for managing the security aspects of providing Pulumi with access to your kubeconfig file.You'll need to replace the
https://helm-repo-url/
with the actual URL of the Helm repository that hosts theucloud-exporter
chart. If the ucloud-exporter chart requires specific configurations (typically values that you might supply viahelm install --set
), you can include those within thevalues
object.After writing this code in a TypeScript file, you can run
pulumi up
to execute it. Pulumi will handle the deployment process and provide you with the status of the resources as they are being deployed or updated.-
