Deploy the kamaji helm chart on Kubernetes
TypeScriptDeploying a Helm chart on Kubernetes with Pulumi involves using the
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
class from the Pulumi Kubernetes provider. This class allows you to deploy Helm charts into a Kubernetes cluster from various sources such as a Helm repo, a local Helm chart directory, or even inline chart definitions.First, you'll need to have a Kubernetes cluster running. Pulumi allows you to create clusters using different cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, but for this example, I'll assume that you already have a Kubernetes cluster configured and that
kubectl
is already authenticated to manage your cluster.The Pulumi program below will deploy the "kamaji" Helm chart into your Kubernetes cluster. For brevity, I will assume that the chart is available in a public Helm repository, and you know the chart's name and version you wish to deploy. If it's not publicly available, you'll need to adjust the parameters as required for your specific situation (e.g., refer to a local chart directory by setting the
path
property or referring to a private repository).Here's how you can achieve it through Pulumi in TypeScript:
import * as k8s from '@pulumi/kubernetes'; // Create an instance of the Helm chart to be deployed. // Make sure to replace `repo`, `chart`, and `version` with the appropriate values for the kamaji chart. const kamajiChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart('kamaji', { chart: 'kamaji', // Replace with the correct chart name version: '1.0.0', // Replace with the correct chart version fetchOpts: { repo: 'https://charts.example.com/', // Replace with the correct Helm repository URL }, }); export const chartName = kamajiChart.metadata.name;
In the code above:
-
We're importing the
@pulumi/kubernetes
package, which contains helpers for deploying resources to Kubernetes through Pulumi. -
We're creating a new Helm chart resource by instantiating
k8s.helm.v3.Chart
with a given name ('kamaji') and a configuration object. -
Inside the configuration object, we specify the
chart
,version
, andfetchOpts
. Therepo
URL infetchOpts
should point to where your Helm chart is located. -
Finally, we're exporting the name of the chart as a stack output, which is not required but can be useful for reference post-deployment.
To use the above Pulumi program:
- Ensure you have Pulumi installed and configured for use with TypeScript.
- Place this code in a file named
index.ts
inside a Pulumi project directory. - Run
pulumi up
to preview and deploy the resources.
Please replace the placeholder values for
repo
,chart
, andversion
with the actual values that correspond to the Kamaji Helm chart you wish to deploy. If Kamaji requires any custom values, you can specify them through thevalues
property in the Chart arguments.For more details and options, you can check out the official Pulumi documentation for Helm charts:
