Deploy the pipeline-enterprise helm chart on Kubernetes
TypeScriptTo deploy the
pipeline-enterprise
Helm chart on a Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi, you will first need to have a Kubernetes cluster up and running. The example below assumes that you have a Kubernetes cluster available and that yourkubectl
command-line tool is already configured to communicate with the cluster.First, you need to set up a Pulumi program in TypeScript. Pulumi programs use packages that correspond to the resource types of the cloud provider you're interfacing with. In this case, since we're working with Kubernetes and Helm charts, we'll use the
@pulumi/kubernetes
package, which has resources to manage Kubernetes resources including Helm charts.Here's a Pulumi program that deploys a Helm chart onto a Kubernetes cluster:
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Creating a Helm chart resource specifying the chart and repository. const pipelineEnterpriseChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("pipeline-enterprise", { chart: "pipeline-enterprise", // You must replace `<REPO_URL>` with the actual repository URL. // This is the URL where your Helm chart is hosted. repositoryOpts: { repo: "<REPO_URL>", }, // Assuming there's a namespace already created where you want to deploy this chart, // otherwise remove the `namespace:` line and Helm will use the default namespace. namespace: "my-namespace", // If the chart requires any custom values, specify them here. // For example: // values: { // key1: "value1", // key2: "value2", // }, }); // Export the name of the chart. export const chartName = pipelineEnterpriseChart.metadata.name;
Replace
<REPO_URL>
with the URL to your chart repository and<CHART_VERSION>
with the version of the chart you wish to deploy. I've placed a placeholder for any custom values you may wish to specify. These values are often necessary to tailor the Helm chart to your specific deployment, such as defining resource limits, setting environment variables, or providing configuration files.The
k8s.helm.v3.Chart
resource represents a deployment of a Helm chart, which Pulumi will manage through the Helm tooling installed on your system. When you runpulumi up
, Pulumi will communicate with your Kubernetes API server and instruct Helm to deploy the specified chart.The
namespace
property is optional and if not specified, Helm will deploy the chart into the default namespace. If you have a different namespace where you want to deploy your Helm chart, update the namespace accordingly.The
export
statement at the end makes the name of the Helm chart deployment available as an output of the Pulumi program. After the program runs, you can retrieve this name with thepulumi stack output chartName
command.To use this code, you'll need to have Pulumi installed on your machine, save this code to a
index.ts
file, install the dependencies withnpm install @pulumi/kubernetes
, and then run it withpulumi up
.Remember, before deploying, ensure that your
kubectl
is configured to connect to your cluster and that you have the necessary permissions to deploy resources into the cluster.
