Deploy the testkube-operator helm chart on Opensshift
TypeScriptDeploying the
testkube-operator
Helm chart on OpenShift involves creating a Pulumi program that defines the necessary Kubernetes resources, using the Pulumi Kubernetes provider. The program will set up the Helm chart within an existing OpenShift cluster.Before you start, make sure you have access to an OpenShift cluster and have configured Pulumi with the appropriate credentials to connect to the cluster.
Here's a step-by-step guide, followed by a Pulumi TypeScript program that demonstrates how to deploy the
testkube-operator
Helm chart:Step 1: Installation Prerequisites
- Install Pulumi: Follow the instructions from the Pulumi installation guide.
- Install Node.js and the npm package manager to be able to run the Pulumi TypeScript program.
- Set up the Kubernetes and OpenShift CLI tools (
kubectl
andoc
) and configure them to communicate with your OpenShift cluster.
Step 2: Set Up Your Pulumi Program
- Create a new directory for your Pulumi project.
- Inside that directory, run
pulumi new typescript
to create a new Pulumi TypeScript project. - When prompted, log in to the Pulumi service or specify a local state storage.
Step 3: Define the
testkube-operator
Helm Chart in the Pulumi Program- Use the
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
class from Pulumi's Kubernetes provider to define the Helm chart you want to deploy.
Step 4: Deploy the Chart
- Run
pulumi up
to preview and deploy your changes to the OpenShift cluster.
Below is the Pulumi TypeScript program that deploys the
testkube-operator
:import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Name of the Helm chart const chartName = "testkube-operator"; // Create an instance of the testkube-operator Helm chart const testkubeOperator = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart(chartName, { // Specify the chart repository and name chart: "testkube-operator", repo: "https://charts.kubeshop.io", // Specify the version of the chart to deploy version: "1.0.0", // Replace with the actual version you need // Add any custom values you want to override in the chart values: { // Custom values to override default chart values (Example) // Example configuration, this will vary depending on the Helm chart's available options }, // Ensure you target the correct namespace, if not default namespace: "default", // Additional options if needed fetchOpts: { // Configure specific options for Helm chart fetching here if necessary }, }); // Optional: Exporting a value that can be useful export const chartStatus = testkubeOperator.status;
This Pulumi setup creates a new instance of the
testkube-operator
Helm chart, specifying the chart version and any necessary configuration values. If you have namespaces or any particular customizations for OpenShift, modify thevalues
andnamespace
properties accordingly.After you've written your program, run
pulumi up
in your terminal within the project directory. Pulumi will perform a preview of the changes and ask for confirmation before applying them. Once confirmed, Pulumi will deploy thetestkube-operator
Helm chart to your OpenShift cluster.Step 5: Verify the Deployment
After Pulumi has applied the changes, you can verify the deployment using the
oc
andkubectl
commands:oc get pods
: Lists the pods and verifies that thetestkube-operator
pods are running.oc get deployment
: Checks if the deployment for thetestkube-operator
appears and is running the correct number of replicas.
Remember that Helm charts, Kubernetes, and Pulumi setups can vary widely; this program assumes a generic use case. You may need to adjust the values and configurations based on your specific requirements and the configurations of the
testkube-operator
Helm chart.
