Deploy the typo3scan helm chart on AWS EKS

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the Typo3Scan Helm chart on an AWS EKS cluster using Pulumi, you'll need to perform a few steps:

Set up the EKS cluster
Configure Kubernetes for Pulumi
Deploy the Helm chart to the EKS cluster

We'll be using two Pulumi packages for this task:

@pulumi/eks for creating and managing Amazon EKS clusters.
@pulumi/kubernetes to interact with Kubernetes resources, such as Helm charts.

First, let's define the EKS cluster. This will be a basic setup without many of the optional configurations that you might need for production. You'll need to have an IAM role that EKS can assume to create resources for your cluster. For this example, we're assuming that the role is already created and being provided to the EKS cluster upon creation.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";
import * as eks from "@pulumi/eks";
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

// Create an EKS cluster.
const cluster = new eks.Cluster("my-cluster", {
    instanceType: "t2.medium",
    desiredCapacity: 2,
    minSize: 1,
    maxSize: 2,
    createOidcProvider: true,
});

// Export the cluster's kubeconfig.
export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig;

After setting up the EKS cluster, you'll then configure Pulumi to use the cluster's kubeconfig. This will allow you to deploy Kubernetes resources to the cluster.

Now let's deploy the Typo3Scan Helm chart. You'll be using the Helm v3 provider from the Pulumi Kubernetes package to facilitate this.

// Initialize a new Kubernetes Provider instance using the EKS kubeconfig.
const provider = new k8s.Provider("k8s-provider", {
    kubeconfig: cluster.kubeconfig.apply(JSON.stringify),
});

// Deploy the typo3scan chart using the Helm Chart resource.
const typo3scanChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("typo3scan", {
    chart: "typo3scan",
    version: "<chart-version>", // specify the chart version
    namespace: "default",
}, { provider });

// Export the Typo3Scan Helm chart deployment status.
export const chartStatus = typo3scanChart.status;

In the above code, replace <chart-version> with the specific version of the Typo3Scan Helm chart you wish to deploy. You also need to provide the correct repository URL if the chart is not located in the default Helm chart repositories.

To summarize, this Pulumi program does the following:

It creates an EKS cluster configured with two t2.medium instances.
It sets up a Kubernetes provider using the kubeconfig obtained from the newly created EKS cluster.
It deploys the Typo3Scan Helm chart to the EKS cluster using the Helm provider.

To run this Pulumi program:

Install Pulumi CLI and set up the AWS credentials.
Create a new Pulumi project and replace the contents of index.ts with the code above.
Run pulumi up to create the EKS cluster and deploy the Typo3Scan Helm chart.

Remember to replace <chart-version> with the appropriate version for the Typo3Scan Helm chart. Please check the Helm chart documentation for any additional configuration and dependencies that might be necessary for deployment.
