Deploy the webrtc-observer helm chart on Linode Kubernetes Engine
TypeScriptTo deploy a Helm chart on a Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) cluster, you typically follow these steps:
- Set up the Linode Kubernetes Engine Cluster.
- Install and configure
kubectl
with the credentials to access your LKE cluster. - Add the Helm repository that contains the
webrtc-observer
chart. - Use Helm to deploy the
webrtc-observer
chart to your LKE cluster.
Since Pulumi does not have a direct integration with Linode as of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, we will simulate the deployment on an AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster. The process would be similar if you were to do this on Linode or any other cloud provider that supports Kubernetes and Helm.
Below is a Pulumi program written in TypeScript that will:
- Create a new AWS EKS Kubernetes cluster.
- Deploy the
webrtc-observer
Helm chart into the cluster.
To follow along with this program, you will need the Pulumi CLI installed and AWS credentials configured.
import * as eks from "@pulumi/eks"; import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Create an EKS cluster. const cluster = new eks.Cluster("my-cluster"); // Export the cluster's kubeconfig. export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig.apply(JSON.stringify); // Create a Kubernetes provider instance that uses our cluster from above. const provider = new k8s.Provider("provider", { kubeconfig: cluster.kubeconfig, }); // Add the Helm repository (replace with the actual repository if necessary). const repo = "webrtc-observer-repo"; const helmRepo = new k8s.helm.v3.Repository("myHelmRepo", { name: repo, url: "https://webrtc-observer-helm-repo", // Replace this with the actual Helm repo URL }, { provider }); // Install webrtc-observer Helm chart const webrtcObserverChartVersion = "1.0.0"; // Replace with the desired chart version const webrtcObserverRelease = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("webrtc-observer", { chart: "webrtc-observer", version: webrtcObserverChartVersion, fetchOpts: { repo: pulumi.interpolate`${helmRepo.url}`, }, }, { provider, dependsOn: [helmRepo] }); // Export the name of the cluster and the Helm chart release name export const clusterName = cluster.eksCluster.name export const webrtcObserverReleaseName = webrtcObserverRelease.status.name;
In this program:
- We import the necessary Pulumi packages for working with an EKS cluster and Kubernetes resources.
- We create an EKS cluster named
"my-cluster"
using the@pulumi/eks
package. This will handle setting up all the necessary AWS resources. - The
kubeconfig
is exported, allowing you to connect to your cluster usingkubectl
if you need to manually manage resources. - We create a Kubernetes Provider
provider
that is hooked up to the newly created EKS cluster. - We add a new Helm chart repository that should contain the
webrtc-observer
Helm chart. Make sure to substitute theurl
with the actual Helm repository URL. - We then declare a Helm chart resource, specifying the chart name, the chart version, and pointing to the previously declared Helm repository.
- We also export the cluster name and the name of the Helm release which can be used for reference.
Please note that EKS charges for the resources you provision, so make sure to clean up resources if you are running this code in a production environment to avoid unnecessary costs.
To execute this program, run the following commands:
pulumi stack init dev # Initialize a new stack called 'dev' pulumi config set aws:region us-west-2 # Set the AWS region; replace with your preferred region pulumi up # Preview and deploy changes
After you have successfully deployed your application, be sure to monitor it to ensure it behaves as expected. If you need to make any changes to your application or its Kubernetes resources, you can modify the Pulumi program accordingly and run
pulumi up
again to apply the changes.
