Deploy the fluentd-operator helm chart on Digital Ocean Kubernetes Service
TypeScriptTo deploy the
fluentd-operator
Helm chart on DigitalOcean Kubernetes Service (DOKS), you'll follow a few steps:- Set Up a Kubernetes Cluster: Create a Kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean.
- Install the Helm Chart: Use Pulumi's
Chart
resource to deploy thefluentd-operator
Helm chart onto the cluster.
Step 1: Set Up a Kubernetes Cluster on DigitalOcean
We'll use the
digitalocean.KubernetesCluster
class to create a cluster in DigitalOcean. You'll need to provide the cluster with a name, region, version, and the desired node pool configuration. DigitalOcean manages the Kubernetes master node and the worker nodes through node pool settings. Here's how to do it:import * as digitalocean from '@pulumi/digitalocean'; // Create a DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster with the desired settings const cluster = new digitalocean.KubernetesCluster("my-cluster", { region: "nyc1", version: "latest", // Use the "latest" or specific version of Kubernetes nodePool: { name: "default", size: "s-2vcpu-2gb", // This is the Droplet size to use for workers in the node pool nodeCount: 2, // The number of worker nodes }, });

Step 2: Install the fluentd-operator Helm Chart onto the Kubernetes Cluster
Once you have a Kubernetes cluster up and running, you can proceed to deploy Helm charts. You use the
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
class to manage Helm chart deployments on a Kubernetes cluster. It is part of Pulumi's Kubernetes provider and specifically tailored for Helm v3.The
fluentd-operator
Helm chart will need to be installed in a namespace where it operates on log routing based on the configuration you provide through thevalues
property.Here's what you would add to the Pulumi program to install the
fluentd-operator
:import * as k8s from '@pulumi/kubernetes'; // Set up configuration for the fluentd-operator Helm chart const fluentdOperatorChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("fluentd-operator", { chart: "fluentd-operator", version: "0.2.0", // Specify the exact chart version fetchOpts:{ repo: "https://charts.fluentd-operator.dev" // Replace with the actual repository if different }, // Define any values that customize the setup values: { // ... specify chart values here ... }, }, { provider: new k8s.Provider("k8s-provider", { kubeconfig: cluster.kubeConfigs[0].rawConfig }) }); // Export the necessary attributes export const fluentdOperatorEndpoint = fluentdOperatorChart.getResourceProperty("v1/Service", "fluentd-operator", "status"); export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeConfig;
In this Pulumi program, we are creating a DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster and deploying the
fluentd-operator
helm chart to it. We usedigitalocean.KubernetesCluster
to create the cluster and configure the desired node pool. Then, we usek8s.helm.v3.Chart
to deploy the Helm chart to the created Kubernetes cluster using itskubeconfig
.Note that you might need to specify different values in the
values
field of the Helm chart configuration, depending on your needs for thefluentd-operator
. Make sure to check the officialfluentd-operator
Helm chart documentation for all configurable options. Also, replacehttps://charts.fluentd-operator.dev
with the actual Helm repository URL where thefluentd-operator
chart is hosted.We're exporting the
fluentdOperatorEndpoint
andkubeconfig
to allow us to interact with the resources after deployment. ThefluentdOperatorEndpoint
would allow you to connect to the deployed service, whilekubeconfig
gives you the necessary configuration to manage the cluster with kubectl or other Kubernetes tools.To use the above Pulumi code, you should first set up your Pulumi project and install the Pulumi CLI. You'd also need to have an account with DigitalOcean and configure the necessary credentials for Pulumi to authenticate with DigitalOcean.
Finally, you would execute
pulumi up
to trigger the deployment of your Kubernetes cluster and thefluentd-operator
Helm chart onto DigitalOcean.
