Deploy the rclone helm chart on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE)
TypeScriptTo deploy the rclone Helm chart on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE), we will first need to create an instance of OKE, which will act as our managed Kubernetes cluster. Next, we will use the Pulumi Kubernetes provider to interact with the cluster, and we will use the Helm Chart resource to deploy rclone.
Below is a Pulumi program in TypeScript that illustrates these steps:
- Set up an OCI Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) cluster using the
oci.ContainerEngine.Cluster
resource. - Use
kubernetes.helm.sh/v3.Chart
to deploy the rclone Helm chart.
Detailed Explanation:
-
oci.ContainerEngine.Cluster
: This resource is responsible for creating and managing a Kubernetes cluster within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). We need to provide it with the necessary configuration, such as the compartment ID, the VCN ID, and other cluster options. -
kubernetes.helm.sh/v3.Chart
: Once the OKE cluster is running, we will deploy Helm charts to it. In our case, we want to deploy the rclone Helm chart. TheChart
resource is responsible for managing Helm chart releases in the Kubernetes cluster.
Now let's dive into the Pulumi program:
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as oci from "@pulumi/oci"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Create an OCI Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) cluster const cluster = new oci.ContainerEngine.Cluster("myOkeCluster", { // Replace with the appropriate compartment ID compartmentId: "YOUR_COMPARTMENT_ID", // Replace with the VCN ID where the cluster and its resources will reside vcnId: "YOUR_VCN_ID", kubernetesVersion: "v1.20.8", // Specify the Kubernetes version for the cluster options: { // Additional options can be provided as per requirements }, }); // Once the cluster is provisioned, we would typically configure the K8s provider to use the kubeconfig from the OKE cluster // For the purpose of this example, let's assume that kubeconfig is already available and configured // Deploy the rclone Helm chart to our OKE cluster using the pulumi/kubernetes provider const chart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("rclone-chart", { chart: "rclone", // The name of the chart version: "1.0.0", // Specify the chart version, if necessary fetchOpts: { // Specify the repository from where to fetch the chart if it's not a stable chart repo: "https://charts.example.com/", }, }, { provider: clusterK8sProvider }); // Ensure to provide the correct k8s provider tied to the OKE cluster // Export the kubeconfig to allow users to interact with the cluster using kubectl export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig;
In this program, replace
YOUR_COMPARTMENT_ID
andYOUR_VCN_ID
with the actual IDs from your OCI setup. ThekubernetesVersion
should match a supported version in OCI OKE that you would like to use for your cluster.After creating the cluster, the program assumes that you have set up the Kubernetes provider using the kubeconfig of the OKE cluster. This is typically done by setting up the kubeconfig file location in the Pulumi configuration. If the kubeconfig is not yet set up, you will need to do so before using the
k8s.helm.v3.Chart
resource to deploy charts.The
chart
constant represents the rclone Helm chart that we wish to deploy. Ensure theversion
andrepo
are specified according to the Helm chart you are using—this information can typically be found in the Helm chart repository or its documentation.Lastly, we export the
kubeconfig
file so that it can be used withkubectl
to interact with your OKE cluster outside of Pulumi. Remember to configure your OCI credentials as per the Pulumi OCI setup documentation if you haven't done so already.Make sure to reference the official Pulumi OCI documentation for detailed information on setting up and managing OCI resources. Additionally, the Pulumi Kubernetes provider will help you understand how to work with Kubernetes resources within Pulumi.
