1. Deploy the argocd-operator helm chart on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

    TypeScript

    To deploy the argocd-operator Helm chart on an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster using Pulumi, you'll follow a few main steps:

    1. Provision an AKS cluster.
    2. Install the argocd-operator Helm chart on the cluster.

    Below, there is a complete TypeScript program for Pulumi that demonstrates how to do this. The program uses the @pulumi/azure-native package to create the AKS cluster and the @pulumi/kubernetes package to deploy the Helm chart.

    First, you'll need to install the necessary dependencies:

    $ npm install @pulumi/pulumi @pulumi/azure-native @pulumi/kubernetes

    Now, for the Pulumi program:

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure-native"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Step 1: Provision an AKS cluster const resourceGroup = new azure.resources.ResourceGroup("myResourceGroup"); const managedCluster = new azure.containerservice.ManagedCluster("myAksCluster", { resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, agentPoolProfiles: [{ count: 3, maxPods: 110, mode: "System", name: "agentpool", nodeLabels: {}, osDiskSizeGB: 30, osType: "Linux", type: "VirtualMachineScaleSets", vmSize: "Standard_DS2_v2", }], dnsPrefix: "myakscluster", enableRBAC: true, kubernetesVersion: "1.20.9", linuxProfile: { adminUsername: "adminuser", ssh: { publicKeys: [{ keyData: "ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nza...", }], }, }, nodeResourceGroup: `MC_azure-native_go_${pulumi.getStack()}`, resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, }); // Export the cluster's kubeconfig const creds = pulumi.all([managedCluster.name, resourceGroup.name]).apply(([clusterName, rgName]) => azure.containerservice.listManagedClusterUserCredentials({ resourceGroupName: rgName, resourceName: clusterName, })); const encoded = creds.kubeconfigs[0].value; export const kubeconfig = encoded.apply(enc => Buffer.from(enc, "base64").toString()); // Step 2: Deploy the argocd-operator Helm chart using the Kubernetes provider const argocdNamespace = new k8s.core.v1.Namespace("argocd", {}, { provider: k8sProvider }); const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("k8s-provider", { kubeconfig: kubeconfig, }); const argocdChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("argocd-operator", { chart: "argocd-operator", version: "0.0.15", // specify the exact chart version to be deployed namespace: argocdNamespace.metadata.name, fetchOpts: { repo: "https://redhat-cop.github.io/helm-charts", // Helm repo URL where the chart is located }, }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // Export the public IP to access ArgoCD export const argocdServerIp = argocdChart.getResourceProperty("v1/Service", "argocd-operator-argocd-server", "status") .apply(status => status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip);

    Here's what the code does, step by step:

    • The first part of the program defines a resource group and a managed AKS cluster using the azure-native package. This is where you define the specifications for your Kubernetes cluster, like the version, size, and count of VMs.

    • The second step exports the kubeconfig which is used to interact with your AKS cluster through kubectl or other Kubernetes tools.

    • The third section creates an instance of the Kubernetes provider configured with the kubeconfig from the AKS cluster. This allows Pulumi to interact with the AKS cluster.

    • The fourth part deploys the argocd-operator Helm chart into the AKS cluster in its own namespace. The fetchOpts parameter specifies the repository where the chart can be found. You can specify the chart version you wish to deploy, to ensure consistent deployments.

    • Finally, we export the public IP address of the ArgoCD server, which can be accessed from the internet to use ArgoCD once it's deployed.

    Note: Ensure that you replace the placeholder inside ssh.publicKeys.keyData with your actual SSH public key, and adjust the other properties like kubernetesVersion and chart.version as necessary.

    Once the code is ready, deploy it with Pulumi by running pulumi up. After the deployment succeeds, Pulumi will output the kubeconfig and ArgoCD IP that you can use to access the cluster and the ArgoCD UI respectively.
