1. AI Infrastructure Health Dashboards on Grafana CloudStack.

    Python

    To create an infrastructure health dashboard on Grafana CloudStack using Pulumi, you'll need to follow several steps. The primary goal of Pulumi in this context is to define and manage the infrastructure required to deploy and operate a Grafana CloudStack instance, along with its dependent resources, in code.

    Below is a high-level overview of the steps involved:

    1. Set up Grafana CloudStack: Provision a Grafana CloudStack, which is a hosted Grafana stack service that eliminates the overhead of installing, managing, and scaling your own instance of Grafana.

    2. Create Service Account: Grafana Cloud requires service accounts to interact with the API.

    3. Provision Dashboards: Create dashboards within Grafana to visualize the health and metrics of your infrastructure. These dashboards are created using the Grafana API and can be managed as code via Pulumi.

    4. Instrumentation and Data Sources: Ensure that your infrastructure components (servers, databases, etc.) are instrumented to emit metrics, and then configure Grafana to pull in these metrics by setting up the appropriate data sources. While Pulumi does not typically handle the instrumentation, you can use it to manage data source configurations.

    5. Manage Grafana API Key: If automation is needed for interactions with Grafana outside of the Pulumi context (like pushing dashboard configurations), you may need to create and manage a Grafana API key.

    Let's create a Pulumi program that provisions a Grafana CloudStack and sets up the required service account to interact with it. This basic example will get you started, and you can extend it by adding resources to manage dashboards, data sources, and other settings within Grafana.

    import pulumi
import pulumi_grafana as grafana

# Create a new Grafana CloudStack.
cloud_stack = grafana.CloudStack(
    "my-grafana-cloud-stack",
    name="my-grafana-cloud-stack",
    slug="my-grafana-cloud-stack-slug",
    url="https://grafana.com",  # Replace with the URL of your Grafana CloudStack
    regionSlug="us-east"  # Specify the appropriate region slug
)

# Create a service account for Grafana CloudStack.
service_account = grafana.CloudStackServiceAccount(
    "my-service-account",
    name="my-service-account-name",
    stackSlug=cloud_stack.slug
)

# The following steps are not explicitly defined in this example, but provide a guideline on extending the setup:
# - Define dashboards: You can extend this script to define Grafana dashboards by creating a `grafana.Dashboard` resource.
# - Set up data sources: Similarly, to create and configure data sources, use the `grafana.DataSource` resource.
# - Manage API keys: To create an API key for Grafana, create a `grafana.CloudStackApiKey` resource.

# Export relevant data that might be needed for further operations or reference.
pulumi.export("cloudStackUrl", cloud_stack.url)
pulumi.export("serviceAccountName", service_account.name)

    Here is what each part of this program does:

    • Grafana CloudStack: The grafana.CloudStack resource provisions a Grafana CloudStack instance with a given name and slug, accessible at the provided URL within the specified region. This serves as the foundation for your hosted Grafana service.

    • CloudStack Service Account: The grafana.CloudStackServiceAccount resource creates a service account within the Grafana CloudStack. This account allows you to programmatically manage your Grafana instance via the API.

    • Exports: Finally, the pulumi.export statements at the end of the program output the URL of the Grafana CloudStack and the name of the service account. Other important information, like Grafana dashboard URLs or API keys, might also be exported here for easy access after deployment.

    Extending the Program

    While the example shown sets up the necessary Pulumi resources for Grafana CloudStack and the service account, you would extend it to define data sources and dashboards by creating additional Pulumi resources like grafana.Dashboard and grafana.DataSource. With dashboards, you can define your infrastructure health monitoring visuals and specify which data sources to pull metrics from.

    Data Sources Configuration:

    To specify data sources within your Grafana CloudStack, you can use another resource like grafana.DataSource, defining each source you plan to fetch data from, be it Prometheus, InfluxDB, CloudWatch, or others.

    API Key Management:

    If you require API keys for programmatic access to the Grafana CloudStack (beyond what Pulumi will manage), you can provision these using the grafana.CloudStackApiKey resource. This key can then be used by external systems or automation tools to interface with Grafana.

    Next Steps

    After you've built your Pulumi program and applied it successfully, your next steps involve:

    • Ensuring your infrastructure is correctly instrumented to emit metrics.
    • Configuring Grafana to use the proper data sources that collect these metrics.
    • Defining and managing Grafana dashboards via Pulumi.

    You might also consider setting up alerts within Grafana to be notified when specific metric thresholds are reached, indicating potential health issues with your infrastructure. Pulumi allows you to manage those configurations alongside your infrastructure as code.
