Deploy the prometheus-operator-mixin helm chart on Opensshift

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the Prometheus Operator Mixin Helm chart on an OpenShift cluster, you need to follow a few steps that involve Pulumi's Kubernetes provider and the Helm Chart resource.

The Pulumi `kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart` resource allows you to deploy a Helm chart to a Kubernetes cluster. Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that facilitates the deployment and management of applications.

To begin, you need to set up your OpenShift cluster and ensure you have Pulumi installed and set up with access to your Kubernetes cluster.

The program will follow these steps:
1. Import the necessary Pulumi and Kubernetes packages.
2. Create a new Kubernetes Helm Chart resource for Prometheus Operator Mixin.

Before starting with the code, it's important to ensure that you have the Helm repository for Prometheus Operator added to your Helm configuration. You can do this by running the following command outside of Pulumi:

```bash
helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update
```

Below is a TypeScript program that deploys the Prometheus Operator Mixin Helm chart on OpenShift:

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

const prometheusOperatorMixinChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("prometheus-operator-mixin", {
    chart: "kube-prometheus-stack",
    version: "X.Y.Z", // replace with the specific chart version you want to deploy
    namespace: "monitoring", // ensure the namespace exists in your cluster
    fetchOpts: {
        repo: "https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts",
    },
    // You can specify the values according to your needs, this may include custom configurations.
    // This is an example of setting a simple value, but typically this would be a more complex object.
    // For the full list of configurable values, refer to the chart's documentation.
    values: {
        // For example, if you need to expose the Prometheus server,
        // you can set `service.type` to "ClusterIP" or "NodePort".
        prometheus: {
            prometheusSpec: {
                // You can customize it according to your requirements.
            },
        },
        // Include additional custom configuration as required.
    },
});

// Optionally, you can export the Helm release status
export const releaseStatus = prometheusOperatorMixinChart.status;
```

A few things to note in the code above:
- Replace the `X.Y.Z` with the version number of the `kube-prometheus-stack` chart you want to use. You can find the latest version in the Helm chart repository or the documentation.
- The `namespace` should be set to the namespace where you want to install the Prometheus operator. Make sure this namespace exists on your OpenShift cluster.
- In the `values` object, you can customize the deployment according to your needs. You might want to look up the configuration options in the [official `kube-prometheus-stack` chart documentation](https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/kube-prometheus-stack) for all available options.
- The `releaseStatus` is an optional export, providing information about the deployment status of the Helm chart.

Make sure you review and adjust the `values` section to conform to the specific requirements of your OpenShift cluster and Prometheus Operator configuration expectations. Once this program is deployed with Pulumi, it will create the resources defined by the `kube-prometheus-stack` Helm chart on your Kubernetes cluster.

To execute the Pulumi program, run the following commands in the directory where the program file is located:

```bash
pulumi stack init dev                 # Initializes a new stack called 'dev' (or use an existing one)
pulumi up                             # Review and deploy the changes
```

This will start the deployment process where Pulumi will show the changes that will be applied to your cluster. Confirm the changes, and Pulumi will deploy Prometheus Operator Mixin to your OpenShift cluster. After the deployment, Pulumi will output the status of the release if the `releaseStatus` is exported.
