Deploy the provider-aws helm chart on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE)
TypeScriptTo deploy the
provider-aws
Helm chart on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE), we'll need to follow a few steps. Helm charts are packages for Kubernetes applications, which allow for easy installation and management of Kubernetes resources. Pulumi’s Kubernetes provider can deploy Helm charts into a Kubernetes cluster.First, ensure that you have an existing OKE cluster. Since Pulumi does not have a dedicated Oracle provider that supports OKE directly, you should have created the cluster using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) console or OCI CLI.
I'll guide you through creating a Pulumi program that connects to your OKE cluster and deploys a Helm chart assuming you have
kubectl
configured with access to the cluster. This program will use Pulumi's Kubernetes provider to deploy the Helm chart.Here is the TypeScript program that accomplishes this:
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Create a provider for the existing OKE cluster const provider = new k8s.Provider("oke-provider", { kubeconfig: process.env.KUBECONFIG, // Ensure your KUBECONFIG is set in your environment }); // Deploy the provider-aws Helm chart into the OKE cluster const helmChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("provider-aws", { chart: "aws", // This should be set to the name of the Helm chart for AWS provider // Update version and repository based on the actual Helm Chart information available. version: "1.0.0", // Specify the version of the Helm chart fetchOpts: { repo: "https://[helm chart repository URL]", // Replace with the actual AWS Helm repository URL }, }, { provider: provider }); export const helmChartName = helmChart.metadata.name;
Explanation on the code:
-
We start by importing the Kubernetes package from Pulumi which allows us to interact with a Kubernetes cluster's resources.
-
Next, we create a
Provider
instance that talks to the OKE cluster. For Pulumi to interact with your OKE cluster, it needs access to thekubeconfig
file. I'm assuming here that you've set theKUBECONFIG
environment variable to point to your cluster's kubeconfig file. -
Then, we instantiate a
Chart
resource. Thechart
property should be the name of the Helm chart you want to deploy. Theversion
property specifies which version of the chart to install. ThefetchOpts.repo
is where you put the URL for the Helm chart's repository. -
Finally, we export the Helm chart name, which can be useful if you want to retrieve the deployment status or other details using Pulumi's command line.
Your console should have the
Pulumi CLI
andkubectl
installed and appropriately configured to interact with your OKE cluster and Pulumi. The actual version of the Helm chart and the repository URL would need to be substituted based on where the AWS Helm chart is hosted.Please be aware that this program assumes you have provider credentials configured properly in your environment that Pulumi uses to deploy resources.
To execute the Pulumi program, you would follow these steps:
- Save the code to a file named
index.ts
. - Run
pulumi up
in the directory containing the Pulumi program. This will start the deployment process. - Review the plan shown by Pulumi and confirm the action.
It's crucial to replace placeholders like
[helm chart repository URL]
with actual values that correspond to the provider-aws Helm chart you want to deploy.Remember to consult the official Pulumi Kubernetes provider documentation and the Helm chart's repository to get more details on the parameters and settings you may need to adjust according to your specific requirements and the Helm chart you are using.
