Deploy the tracee helm chart on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE)

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the Tracee Helm chart on the Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE), you'll need to take the following high-level steps:

1. Set up an OKE cluster where the Helm chart will be deployed.
2. Install the Helm CLI tooling, which is required to manage Helm chart deployments.
3. Add the repository for Tracee to your Helm configuration.
4. Deploy the Tracee Helm chart to your Kubernetes cluster.

For the purpose of this example, we're assuming that you already have a running OKE cluster and `kubectl` is configured to manage the cluster. We will use Pulumi's Kubernetes provider to deploy the chart, which abstracts the Helm CLI.

Below is a TypeScript program that uses Pulumi to deploy the Tracee Helm chart to an existing OKE cluster:

```typescript
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

// Initialize the Kubernetes provider, pointing to your OKE cluster's kubeconfig file.
const provider = new k8s.Provider("oke-provider", {
    kubeconfig: "your-kubeconfig-file",
});

// Add the Helm repository containing the Tracee chart.
const traceeRepo = new k8s.helm.v3.Repository("tracee-repo", {
    name: "tracee",  // You will likely need to change this to the name of the actual Tracee Helm repo
    url: "https://helm-repo/url",  // Replace with the actual repo URL
}, { provider });

// Install the Tracee Helm chart into the OKE cluster.
const traceeChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("tracee-chart", {
    chart: "tracee",
    version: "chart-version",  // Specify the version of Tracee Helm chart you want to deploy
    namespace: "tracee-namespace",  // Specify the namespace where you want to install Tracee, or use default if preferred
    repositoryOpts: {
        repo: traceeRepo.name,
    },
    values: {
        // Place any custom values you want to override in the Tracee Helm chart here
    },
}, { provider });

// Export the Tracee Helm chart's status by querying the live state after it's finished deploying.
export const traceeChartStatus = traceeChart.status;
```

Replace `your-kubeconfig-file` with the path to your kubeconfig file which allows you to connect to your Oracle Kubernetes Engine cluster. Also, replace `https://helm-repo/url` and `chart-version` with the actual Helm repository URL and chart version you wish to deploy.

When you run this program with Pulumi, it will perform the following actions:

- Pulumi will use the Kubernetes provider to interact with your OKE cluster.
- It will add the Helm repository that contains the Tracee chart to the Kubernetes provider's config.
- It will deploy the Tracee Helm chart to the specified namespace in your Kubernetes cluster.
- After the deployment is completed, the status of the Helm release will be exported.

Remember that this script assumes that you already have Pulumi installed and configured. When you're ready, run `pulumi up` to execute this script and deploy the Tracee Helm chart. As the script runs, Pulumi will provide detailed output on the process and will ask for confirmation before performing any changes to your cloud resources.
