Deploying GitLab GoProxy on AWS EKS

Q: Deploy the gitlab-goproxy helm chart on AWS EKS

Deploy the gitlab-goproxy helm chart on AWS EKS

To deploy the GitLab GoProxy Helm chart on AWS EKS using Pulumi, we'll need to follow these steps:

Set up an Amazon EKS cluster using the eks.Cluster component which simplifies the process.
Use the kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart resource to deploy the GitLab GoProxy Helm chart to the EKS cluster.

First, we'll need an EKS cluster. We'll create an EKS cluster and configure its VPC and subnet settings. Once we've got the cluster, we'll deploy the GitLab GoProxy chart using the Helm Chart resource.

Below is a Pulumi program in TypeScript that demonstrates how you can accomplish this. The program is well-commented to help you understand each step of the process.

Make sure that you have Pulumi installed and AWS configured with the necessary credentials before running this code.

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 with the default settings.
// Here we're utilizing the high-level component `eks.Cluster` which greatly simplifies the process.
const cluster = new eks.Cluster('my-cluster', {
    desiredCapacity: 2,  // Desire number of worker nodes.
    minSize: 1,          // Minimum number of worker nodes.
    maxSize: 2,          // Maximum number of worker nodes.
    // More options can be configured as per your requirements.
});

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

// Now that we have an EKS cluster, we can deploy the gitlab-goproxy Helm chart to it.
// This will be done using the `Chart` resource from Pulumi's Kubernetes provider.

const gitlabGoProxyChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart('gitlab-goproxy', {
    chart: 'gitlab-goproxy',   // The name of the chart.
    version: 'x.x.x',           // Specify the chart version you want to deploy.
    // Replace 'x.x.x' with actual chart version.
    fetchOpts: {                // Helm fetch options to pull the chart if not available locally.
        repo: 'https://charts.gitlab.io/',   // The repository where the chart is hosted.
    },
    // Values to pass to the Helm chart, which configure GitLab GoProxy.
    values: {
        // Configuration values for gitlab-goproxy chart can be specified here.
        // For example, you might want to set the number of replicas, resource requests and limits, etc.
        // Please refer to the official GitLab GoProxy Helm chart documentation for available options.
    },
}, { provider: cluster.provider });   // Specify the EKS cluster's provider to deploy the chart.

// Output the public endpoint to access the GitLab GoProxy instance.
export const gitlabGoProxyEndpoint = pulumi.interpolate`http://${gitlabGoProxyChart.getResourceProperty('v1/Service', 'gitlab-goproxy', 'status').loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname}`;

To use this program:

Save the code to a file with a .ts extension, for example, deployGitlabGoProxy.ts.
Run pulumi up from the command line in the same directory as your file.
Confirm the preview looks correct and proceed with the deployment.

Do remember to replace 'x.x.x' with the actual version number of the GitLab GoProxy Helm chart you want to deploy. You can find the version numbers and available configurations in the official Helm chart repository.

After running the pulumi up command, the EKS cluster will be created and the GitLab GoProxy Helm chart will be deployed to it. The endpoint URL to access your GitLab GoProxy will be output at the end.
