Deploy the ebpf-exporter helm chart on AWS EKS
TypeScriptTo deploy the
ebpf-exporter
Helm chart on AWS EKS, you'll need to follow these steps:- Set up an Amazon EKS cluster.
- Configure Kubernetes to interact with the EKS cluster.
- Install the
ebpf-exporter
Helm chart on the EKS cluster.
Let's go through each step in detail:
1. Setting up the EKS Cluster
To create an EKS cluster, you'll use the
eks.Cluster
class from the Pulumi EKS package. You'll need to define the VPC and subnet IDs where you want the cluster and its nodes to run. You may also want to specify the desired Kubernetes version.2. Configuring Kubernetes Provider
Once the EKS cluster is created, you can use its kubeconfig to set up the Pulumi Kubernetes provider. This provider allows you to interact with the cluster to manage Kubernetes resources, including deploying Helm charts.
3. Installing the Helm Chart
With your EKS cluster ready and Kubernetes provider configured, you can then use the
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
class to deploy theebpf-exporter
Helm chart.Let's start with the Pulumi program in TypeScript to deploy the EKS cluster and install the
ebpf-exporter
Helm chart:import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws"; import * as awsx from "@pulumi/awsx"; import * as eks from "@pulumi/eks"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Create an EKS cluster. const cluster = new eks.Cluster("ebpfCluster", { // Specify the desired version for the Kubernetes master version: "1.21", // Specify the desired instance type for the EKS nodes instanceType: "t3.medium", // The number of worker nodes to use for the cluster desiredCapacity: 2, // The minimum number of worker nodes the cluster should use minSize: 1, // The maximum number of worker nodes the cluster should use maxSize: 3, // Deploy the cluster in the default VPC and subnets vpcId: awsx.ec2.Vpc.getDefault().id, publicSubnetIds: awsx.ec2.Subnet.getDefault().public.map(s => s.id), // Additional settings can be configured as needed. }); // Export the cluster's kubeconfig export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig; // Set up the Pulumi Kubernetes provider using the kubeconfig from the EKS cluster const provider = new k8s.Provider("k8s", { kubeconfig: cluster.kubeconfig, }); // Deploy the ebpf-exporter Helm chart onto the EKS cluster const ebpfExporterChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("ebpf-exporter", { chart: "ebpf-exporter", version: "1.0.0", // Replace with the desired chart version fetchOpts: { // Specify the repository that hosts the ebpf-exporter Helm chart repo: "https://<helm-chart-repository>", // Replace with the actual repository URL }, }, { provider: provider }); // Export the Helm chart resources export const helmChartResources = ebpfExporterChart.resources;
This program will:
- Create an EKS cluster with a default node group that meets
ebpf-exporter
requirements. - Set up a Pulumi Kubernetes provider to manage Kubernetes resources in the created EKS cluster.
- Install the
ebpf-exporter
Helm chart into the EKS cluster using the Pulumi Kubernetes provider.
Here are a few notes on the above program:
- Replace
<helm-chart-repository>
with the actual Helm chart repository URL that contains theebpf-exporter
chart. You may also need to adjust theversion
according to the available chart versions. - The
kubeconfig
output can be used to interact with the cluster from your local machine usingkubectl
. - In the EKS cluster declaration, I've chosen some defaults. You should modify these accordingly based on your needs and preferences, like setting the proper instance type or EKS version.
- The
helmChartResources
export can be used to obtain the deployed Helm chart's Kubernetes resources, which is especially useful for debugging.
To apply this Pulumi program:
- Save the code in a file with a
.ts
extension. - Run
pulumi up
from your command line in the same directory as your code. - Follow the command line prompts to authenticate with AWS and apply the changes. This will create the EKS cluster and deploy the Helm chart.
Remember, before running any Pulumi code, ensure your AWS credentials are configured correctly on your machine and that the latest versions of Pulumi CLI and required plugin are installed.
