Deploy the olm helm chart on AWS EKS
TypeScriptDeploying the OLM (Operator Lifecycle Manager) Helm chart on an AWS EKS (Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service) cluster involves a few steps. Below I will explain the process and then present a program written in TypeScript using Pulumi to automate the deployment.
The process involves the following key steps:
-
Create an EKS cluster: Using the
eks.Cluster
Pulumi resource, you can create a new AWS EKS cluster. An EKS cluster is the foundational aspect of your Kubernetes environment on AWS. -
Deploy OLM Helm chart: With the
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
Pulumi resource, you can deploy Helm charts to your Kubernetes cluster. Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that allows you to define, install, and upgrade complex Kubernetes applications. -
Configure Pulumi to use the created EKS cluster's kubeconfig for deploying the Helm chart: Pulumi will use the generated kubeconfig from the EKS cluster to communicate with your Kubernetes cluster and deploy the OLM Helm chart onto it.
Here is the Pulumi TypeScript program that accomplishes the deployment of the OLM Helm chart on an AWS EKS cluster:
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', { // Specify the desired options for your EKS cluster ... }); // Once your EKS cluster has been created, you will use the cluster's kubeconfig // to interact with the cluster and deploy your Helm chart. // Export the kubeconfig for the EKS cluster export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig; // Create a Kubernetes provider instance that uses the generated kubeconfig. const provider = new k8s.Provider('my-k8s-provider', { kubeconfig: cluster.kubeconfig, }); // Deploy the OLM Helm chart on the EKS cluster using the custom provider. const olmChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart('olm', { chart: 'olm', version: 'x.y.z', // specify the version of OLM Helm chart you want to deploy fetchOpts: { repo: 'https://operator-framework.github.io/olm-charts', }, }, { provider }); // Export the cluster's name and kubeconfig. export const clusterName = cluster.eksCluster.name;
In the above program, replace
'x.y.z'
with the specific version of the OLM Helm chart you wish to deploy. You can find the available version by searching the Helm repository used in thefetchOpts
.Make sure you have the Pulumi CLI installed and AWS credentials configured for your terminal that has access to EKS. Once you have the Pulumi program ready, you can run
pulumi up
to execute the deployment.The
eks.Cluster
andk8s.helm.v3.Chart
are resources provided by Pulumi to interact with AWS EKS and Helm chart deployments, respectively.You can find further details in the Pulumi documentation for these resources:
Remember, each Pulumi program is fully capable of creating, updating, and managing your cloud resources throughout their entire lifecycle.
