Using alicloud oss with cs

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To use Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS) with Container Service (CS), you'll begin by creating an OSS bucket where you'll store your data. Then, you'll configure a Container Service cluster (Elastic Compute Service - ECS - instances in Alibaba Cloud terminology) that interacts with the OSS bucket.

Here’s how you can achieve this using Pulumi with TypeScript:

Create an OSS Bucket: This is where your files will be stored. Define an OSS bucket resource in Pulumi. You may want to configure the bucket's properties such as access control lists (ACLs), versioning, etc., depending on your needs.
Set up a Container Service cluster: This will be your compute environment where your deployed applications can interact with the previously created OSS bucket. You'll need to define a cluster, specify the desired instance types for your nodes, configure networking, and set up any necessary authentication.
Configuration for cluster access to OSS: This may involve setting up appropriate roles and permissions to allow your ECS instances within the CS cluster to access the OSS bucket.

Here's a Pulumi TypeScript program that sets up an OSS bucket and a simple CS cluster:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as alicloud from "@pulumi/alicloud";

// Create an OSS bucket.
const myBucket = new alicloud.oss.Bucket("my-bucket", {
    acl: "private",        // Make sure to define the access level you need.
    tags: {
        Environment: "Dev"
    }
    // Add more configurations according to your need.
});

// Create a CS cluster
const myCsCluster = new alicloud.cs.Cluster("my-cs-cluster", {
    // Replace these with appropriate values for your use case
    name: "my-demo-cluster",
    instanceType: "ecs.s6-c1m2.large",
    vswitchId: "<vswitch-id>",   // Replace with your VSwitch ID
    diskSize: 50,                // The system disk size in GB
    diskCategory: "cloud_ssd",   // The system disk category
    password: "<password>",      // Replace with your cluster password or use Pulumi's secrets management
    // Further configurations can be added here
});

// Export the bucket name and CS cluster ID
export const bucketName = myBucket.bucket;
export const clusterId = myCsCluster.id;

Explanation of the components:

OSS Bucket: The alicloud.oss.Bucket resource creates a new bucket in Alibaba Cloud OSS. In the example, the bucket is set to private, but you could select different ACL settings based on requirements. Tags can also be configured for better resource management.

CS Cluster: The alicloud.cs.Cluster resource sets up a managed Kubernetes cluster. You need to provide details like instance type, vSwitch ID, and password. For a production environment, you would also configure things like node number, network CIDR blocks, etc.

After deploying this Pulumi program, you'll have an OSS bucket and a Kubernetes cluster ready to use on Alibaba Cloud. You can further enhance the program by including more specifics such as enabling logging, versioning on the OSS bucket, or detailed node configurations for the cluster. Make sure you replace placeholder values in the program (like <vswitch-id> and <password>) with actual values from your Alibaba Cloud environment.

For any further tasks, like setting permissions or interacting with the bucket from the cluster, you'll want to write additional Pulumi resources and logic. Always refer to Alibaba Cloud's documentation and the Pulumi Registry for specifics about configurations and best practices.
