Deploy the monitoror helm chart on AWS EKS

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the Monitoror Helm chart on AWS EKS using Pulumi, you'll need to perform the following high-level steps:

1. **Create an EKS Cluster**: You need an EKS cluster to deploy your Kubernetes resources. 
2. **Deploy Helm Chart to EKS**: Once you have your EKS cluster, you can deploy the Monitoror Helm chart to it.

Here's how you can achieve this with Pulumi in TypeScript:

### Prerequisites
- **Pulumi**: Ensure you have Pulumi installed and configured for AWS.
- **Kubernetes CLI**: `kubectl` is required to interact with your Kubernetes cluster.
- **AWS CLI**: Make sure you have AWS CLI installed and configured with credentials to manage your AWS resources.

### Explanation of Resources
- `awsx.ecs.Cluster`: This high-level component creates a new AWS EKS Cluster.
- `kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart`: The Helm Chart resource is used to deploy a chart to a Kubernetes cluster.

Let's start by creating the Pulumi program.

First, you need to import necessary packages:

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

Next, create the EKS cluster:

```typescript
// Create an EKS cluster with the default configuration.
const cluster = new eks.Cluster("my-monitoror-cluster", {
    // Specify the desired version for your EKS cluster, for example, `1.21`.
    version: "1.21",
});

// Export the kubeconfig for the cluster so that 'kubectl' and other Kubernetes tools can interact with it.
export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig;
```

Now that you have an EKS cluster, you can deploy the Monitoror Helm chart:

```typescript
// Create an instance of the k8s provider with the generated kubeconfig.
const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("k8s-provider", {
    kubeconfig: cluster.kubeconfig.apply(JSON.stringify),
});

// Deploy the Monitoror Helm chart to the EKS cluster.
const monitororChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("monitoror", {
    chart: "monitoror",
    version: "x.y.z", // Replace `x.y.z` with the appropriate chart version.
    fetchOpts: {
        // Specify the repository where the Monitoror Helm chart is located.
        repo: "https://chart-repo.example.com",
    },
}, { provider: k8sProvider });

// Optional: Export Helm chart resources.
export const monitororChartResources = monitororChart.resources;
```

In the above code, replace `x.y.z` with the version of Monitoror chart you wish to deploy, and `https://chart-repo.example.com` with the actual repository URL for the Monitoror Helm chart.

When you run the Pulumi program, it will use your AWS credentials to provision an EKS cluster and deploy the Monitoror Helm chart into the cluster.

### Next Steps

1. **Run Pulumi Up**: Once you have this code in a `index.ts` file, run `pulumi up` to execute it. Pulumi will print out the plan and ask for confirmation before provisioning the resources.
2. **Access Monitoror**: After deployment, use `kubectl` to interact with your Monitoror instance. You'll need to check Monitoror's documentation for its Kubernetes services and access methods.

Please note that Helm charts might have configurable values. If you need to customize your Monitoror deployment, you can pass a `values` argument to the `Chart` resource specifying the values you want to override.

Remember that you should have your AWS resources billed according to the usage, so keep an eye on that too.
