Deploy the caretta helm chart on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE)
TypeScriptTo deploy the caretta helm chart on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE), you will need to follow these high-level steps:
- Set up an OKE cluster on OCI if you haven’t done so.
- Ensure you have a kubeconfig file that Pulumi can use to communicate with your OKE cluster.
- Create a new Pulumi program that uses the
@pulumi/kubernetes
package to deploy Helm charts to a Kubernetes cluster. - Use the
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
resource to deploy the caretta Helm chart to your cluster.
Below is an annotated Pulumi program that accomplishes this task using TypeScript. This program assumes you have an existing OKE cluster and have a kubeconfig file ready to use.
import * as pulumi from '@pulumi/pulumi'; import * as k8s from '@pulumi/kubernetes'; // Before running this program, ensure that you have set up your kubeconfig file correctly. // This file should be configured to communicate with your OKE cluster. // Pulumi uses this configuration to deploy resources to your cluster. const clusterProvider = new k8s.Provider('okeCluster', { kubeconfig: pulumi.output(yourKubeconfig), // Replace `yourKubeconfig` with the actual kubeconfig content }); // Define the caretta Helm chart deployment. // We will deploy the caretta chart which should be available in a helm repository. const carettaChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart('caretta', { chart: 'caretta', // This is the name of the chart in the repository. version: '1.2.3', // Use the correct chart version. fetchOpts: { repo: 'http://your-helm-chart-repository.com', // URL to the repository where the caretta chart is hosted. }, // Include any custom values you want to override in the Chart. // For example, below we are assuming caretta chart accepts a "replicaCount" value. // Make sure to replace the following with values appropriate for the caretta chart. values: { replicaCount: 2, // Add any other values that caretta chart accepts. }, }, { provider: clusterProvider }); // If you need the Helm release status or other computed values from the Helm chart, // the status can be accessed asynchronously after the deployment. export const chartStatus = carettaChart.status; // Once this program is complete, you should have caretta helm chart deployed onto your OKE cluster. // You can run the program by using the Pulumi CLI by following the usual workflow: // `pulumi up` to preview and deploy the changes.
In this program, we use the
@pulumi/kubernetes
package to interact with Kubernetes and the Helm Chart resource to manage Helm Chart deployments. You'll need to install the Pulumi CLI, set up the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provider, and configure your Pulumi stack with the correct cloud credentials.Make sure you have the Helm chart repository that hosts the caretta chart, and you provide the correct chart version and any value overrides that the chart expects. The kubeconfig should be set up with the necessary credentials for the OKE cluster.
After deploying the Pulumi program using
pulumi up
, you will see the resources being created in your Oracle Kubernetes Engine cluster, and upon successful deployment, you will have your application running on OKE.
