Deploy the kubernetes-node-problem-detector helm chart on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
TypeScriptTo deploy the
kubernetes-node-problem-detector
Helm chart on a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster using Pulumi, we need to establish a few things first:- GKE Cluster: We need to create a GKE cluster if one doesn't already exist, or configure Pulumi to use an existing cluster.
- Kubernetes Provider: This is the Pulumi representation of the Kubernetes cluster where we will install the Helm chart. It needs to be connected to the GKE cluster.
- Helm Release: Pulumi's
helm.v3.Release
resource will be used to manage the Helm chart deployment to the cluster.
Here's a step-by-step Pulumi TypeScript program that you can use to deploy the
kubernetes-node-problem-detector
Helm chart to a GKE cluster:- Set up GKE Cluster: Define a GKE cluster using Pulumi's GCP provider.
- Create a Kubernetes Provider Instance: Once you have a cluster, create a Kubernetes provider that's linked to the newly created GKE cluster.
- Deploy Helm Chart: With the Kubernetes provider in place, create a Helm chart resource corresponding to
kubernetes-node-problem-detector
.
Below is a full program which assumes that you already have a GKE cluster configured. If not, it includes commented-out code to create a new GKE cluster:
import * as gcp from "@pulumi/gcp"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; // Replace these variables with the appropriate values for your configuration. const projectName = "your-gcp-project"; const clusterName = "your-gke-cluster-name"; const zone = "your-gcp-zone"; // e.g., us-west1-a // If you need to create a new GKE cluster uncomment the following lines: /* const cluster = new gcp.container.Cluster("gke-cluster", { initialNodeCount: 1, nodeVersion: "latest", minMasterVersion: "latest", nodeConfig: { machineType: "n1-standard-1", oauthScopes: [ "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/compute", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.read_only", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/logging.write", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/monitoring" ], }, project: projectName, location: zone, }, { dependsOn: ["enableApi"] }); const kubeconfig = pulumi. all([cluster.name, cluster.endpoint, cluster.masterAuth]). apply(([name, endpoint, masterAuth]) => { const context = `${projectName}_${zone}_${name}`; return `apiVersion: v1 clusters: - cluster: certificate-authority-data: ${masterAuth.clusterCaCertificate} server: https://${endpoint} name: ${context} contexts: - context: cluster: ${context} user: ${context} name: ${context} current-context: ${context} kind: Config preferences: {} users: - name: ${context} user: auth-provider: config: cmd-args: config config-helper --format=json cmd-path: gcloud expiry-key: '{.credential.token_expiry}' token-key: '{.credential.access_token}' name: gcp `; }); */ // If you already have a GKE cluster, use this code to set up the config: const kubeconfig = pulumi.output(gcp.container.getCluster({ name: clusterName, location: zone, project: projectName, }, { async: true })).kubeconfig; // Create a Kubernetes provider instance that uses our cluster from above. const clusterProvider = new k8s.Provider("gkeK8s", { kubeconfig: kubeconfig, }); // Now we can deploy the node-problem-detector Helm chart using our clusterProvider. const nodeProblemDetectorChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("node-problem-detector", { chart: "node-problem-detector", fetchOpts: { repo: "https://kubernetes.github.io/node-problem-detector/", }, // Any additional Helm chart values can be set here, see the chart's documentation for options. values: {}, }, { provider: clusterProvider }); // Export the URL for the deployed node-problem-detector service. // You may need to modify this depending on how you want to consume the node-problem-detector. export const serviceUrl = pulumi.interpolate`http://${nodeProblemDetectorChart.getResourceProperty("v1/Service", "node-problem-detector-node-problem-detector", "status")}`; // Note: The interpolate syntax depends on the actual service name created by the Helm chart. // Check the Helm chart's documentation for the correct service names and adjust as needed.
In this program:
-
We set up variables for project name, cluster name, and zone.
-
For creating a new GKE cluster, we define a gcp.container.Cluster resource with a minimal configuration.
-
For using an existing cluster, we fetch its kubeconfig with gcp.container.getCluster.
-
We set up a Pulumi Kubernetes provider (clusterProvider) that uses either the new cluster's kubeconfig or the fetched one from an existing cluster.
-
We instantiate a Helm chart resource (nodeProblemDetectorChart), which represents the deployment of the
kubernetes-node-problem-detector
Helm chart in the Kubernetes cluster. -
We export the URL to access the
node-problem-detector
service, which you can modify based on how you have set up the chart (this placeholder might not directly provide a functional URL without adjustments).
To run this code, ensure you have the Pulumi CLI installed and configured with GCP credentials. Save the code in a file with a
.ts
extension, and then runpulumi up
in the terminal in the same directory to create the resources. Make sure to replace placeholders with your actual project, cluster, and zone names.Remember, the exact parameters for values and resources may need adjustment depending on your specific requirements and how the Helm chart for
node-problem-detector
is structured. Always refer to the chart's documentation for configuration details.
