Deploy the coralogix-fluentd helm chart on Kubernetes
TypeScriptTo deploy the
coralogix-fluentd
Helm chart on Kubernetes using Pulumi, we will be using thekubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
class from Pulumi's Kubernetes provider. TheChart
class allows you to define a Helm chart installation in a declarative way, managing the deployment of the chart and its associated resources to your Kubernetes cluster.Here's a step-by-step guide to deploying the
coralogix-fluentd
Helm chart on Kubernetes with Pulumi:-
Set up your Kubernetes cluster: Make sure that you have a running Kubernetes cluster and that your
kubectl
is configured to communicate with it. -
Install Pulumi: If you haven't already, install Pulumi and set up the Pulumi CLI.
-
Create a new Pulumi project: Run
pulumi new kubernetes-typescript
to create a new Pulumi project for TypeScript. You will be prompted to supply some configuration values like the project name and stack. -
Define the Helm chart release: In your
index.ts
file from the new project, reference thecoralogix-fluentd
Helm chart and define any values you wish to override.
Below is the TypeScript program you would use to deploy the
coralogix-fluentd
Helm chart:import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Step 1: Set up the Helm Chart information for coralogix-fluentd const coralogixFluentdChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("coralogix-fluentd", { // The repository where the helm chart is stored repo: "coralogixrepo", // Replace with the actual Helm chart repository chart: "coralogix-fluentd", version: "1.0.0", // Replace with the specific chart version you wish to deploy // Optional: If you need to override default values provided by the Helm chart values: { // Override values here. For example: // someSetting: "someValue", }, // Optional: If the chart requires you to specify the namespace namespace: "default", // Replace with the namespace where you wish to install the chart }); // Assuming you want to export the status of the deployed chart, you could do something like: export const chartStatus = coralogixFluentdChart.status;
This defines a new Helm chart release using Pulumi. It specifies the chart name, version, optional custom values, and the namespace where it should be installed. The
values
field is a TypeScript object that you would populate with any parameters that the Helm chart accepts to customize its deployment.Please replace
"coralogixrepo"
and theversion
with the correct repository URL and version number for your use case. You might also need to replace thevalues
andnamespace
if your chart requires different settings or if you prefer to deploy it in a different namespace.In this example,
chartStatus
is an export that lets you verify the status of the deployed chart using the Pulumi CLI withpulumi stack output chartStatus
.To run this Pulumi program, you simply execute
pulumi up
in the terminal from the project directory. This command will prompt Pulumi to perform the deployment action described by the TypeScript code.Keep in mind that to use Pulumi with Kubernetes, you need to have
kubectl
configured to communicate with your Kubernetes cluster and the necessary credentials should be set accordingly. Also, ensure that your Pulumi CLI is logged in to your desired backend where the state of your infrastructure will be stored.Once you run
pulumi up
, Pulumi will show you a preview of the actions that will be performed, and you can confirm whether to proceed with the deployment. After confirmation, Pulumi will deploy the Helm chart to your cluster, and you'll have thecoralogix-fluentd
logging solution running on your Kubernetes infrastructure.-
