1. Deploy the elk helm chart on Kubernetes

    TypeScript

    To deploy the ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) stack using a Helm chart on Kubernetes with Pulumi, you'll need to follow these steps:

    1. Set up your Kubernetes cluster where you'll deploy your application.
    2. Install and configure Pulumi to work with your cluster.
    3. Use the kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart resource to deploy the ELK chart from a Helm repository.

    The kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart resource is used within Pulumi programs to deploy applications packaged as Helm charts onto a Kubernetes cluster. Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that allows you to package and distribute Kubernetes applications in so-called charts. Using a single chart, Helm allows you to manage all the Kubernetes resources that make up an application.

    The ELK stack is a popular open-source, centralized logging solution for collecting, searching, and analyzing logs from different sources. A Helm chart for the ELK stack will typically include Kubernetes resources for setting up Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana services.

    Here's a Pulumi TypeScript program that deploys the ELK Helm chart to a Kubernetes cluster:

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Initialize a Kubernetes provider using the current context in ~/.kube/config const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("k8s-provider", { kubeconfig: process.env.KUBECONFIG }); // Deploy the ELK Helm chart from the elastic Helm charts repository const elkChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("elk", { chart: "elastic-stack", // This name may vary. Please check the Helm repository for the exact chart name. version: "7.17.1", // Specify the version of the chart that you want to deploy fetchOpts: { repo: "https://helm.elastic.co", // This is the repository where the ELK Helm chart is hosted. } }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // Export the Kibana endpoint for easy access export const kibanaEndpoint = elkChart.getResourceProperty("v1/Service", "elk-kibana", "status") .apply(status => status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname || status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip);

    Explanation of the code:

    • The k8s.Provider initializes a Kubernetes provider for Pulumi, which uses the kubeconfig from your environment to communicate with your Kubernetes cluster.
    • The k8s.helm.v3.Chart resource is used to deploy the ELK stack using the specified Helm chart. You will need to replace elastic-stack with the correct chart name for the ELK stack from the repository you're using.
    • The fetchOpts property included within the Chart resource specifies the repository where the Helm chart is located. In this case, we used the Elasticsearch Helm repository.
    • The exported kibanaEndpoint is a Pulumi Output that will display the endpoint to access Kibana once it has been assigned an external IP or hostname by your cloud provider.

    Before running this Pulumi program, ensure you have Pulumi and @pulumi/kubernetes installed, and that you are authenticated with a Kubernetes cluster where you have permissions to deploy applications.

    To execute this Pulumi program, run pulumi up in the directory where your Pulumi TypeScript program is saved. Pulumi will provision the resources and output the Kibana endpoint.

    Please note that Helm chart names and versions can change, so you should verify the chart name (elastic-stack) and version (7.17.1) at Elastic Helm charts repository before deploying. The version specified here is an example and may not be the latest. Always use the version that best suits your requirements.
