Deploy the ofbiz helm chart on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE)

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the Apache OFBiz Helm chart on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) using Pulumi, you'll first need to set up an OKE cluster to run your Helm chart. Once your cluster is running, you can use the Pulumi Kubernetes provider to deploy Apache OFBiz using its Helm chart.

Below is a Pulumi TypeScript program that outlines the steps to accomplish this. The program assumes that you've already set up and configured the necessary OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) and Kubernetes provider configurations for Pulumi.

First, we'll start with a brief explanation of the resources used in this program:

- `oci.ContainerEngine.Cluster`: This resource is used to create and manage an OKE cluster where your applications will run.
- `kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart`: This resource is utilized to deploy a Helm chart onto a Kubernetes cluster, specifying the chart for Apache OFBiz in this case.

Make sure you have the latest versions of the Pulumi CLI and the OCI provider installed and configured before running this program.

Here is the TypeScript program that deploys Apache OFBiz on OKE:

```typescript
import * as oci from '@pulumi/oci';
import * as k8s from '@pulumi/kubernetes';
import * as pulumi from '@pulumi/pulumi';

// Step 1: Create an Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) Cluster
const cluster = new oci.ContainerEngine.Cluster("myOkeCluster", {
    // Replace these with the appropriate values for your OCI environment
    compartmentId: "compartment-id", // OCI Compartment ID where the cluster should be created
    vcnId: "vcn-id", // VCN ID for creating the Kubernetes cluster
    kubernetesVersion: "v1.20.8", // Specify the Kubernetes version for the OKE cluster, check OCI documentation for the supported versions
    options: {
        // Additional cluster options if necessary
    },
});

// Step 2: Obtain Kubeconfig for the created OKE Cluster
const kubeconfig = pulumi.all([cluster.id]).apply(([clusterId]) => {
    return oci.containerengine.getClusterKubeconfig({
        clusterId: clusterId,
    });
});

// Step 3: Setup the Kubernetes provider to connect to the OKE cluster
const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("myOkeK8sProvider", {
    kubeconfig: kubeconfig.content,
});

// Step 4: Deploy Apache OFBiz using its Helm chart
const ofbizChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("apache-ofbiz", {
    chart: "ofbiz",
    version: "latest", // Specify the version of the chart to deploy, or remove this line to pull the latest version by default
    fetchOpts: {
        repo: "https://helm-repository-url" // The URL of the Helm chart repository where the Apache OFBiz chart is hosted
    }
}, { provider: k8sProvider });

// Export the public endpoint of Apache OFBiz
export const endpoint = pulumi.interpolate`${ofbizChart.getResourceProperty("v1/Service", "apache-ofbiz-ofbiz", "status")}`;

```

This program will create an OKE cluster and deploy the Apache OFBiz Helm chart onto it. Note that you need to replace placeholder values, such as `compartment-id`, `vcn-id`, and `https://helm-repository-url`, with actual values from your OCI environment and from the location where the Apache OFBiz Helm chart is hosted.

Remember to check the Oracle and Apache OFBiz Helm chart documentation for any specific configurations or prerequisites you might need before attempting to deploy.

Once you have your code ready, install the necessary Pulumi OCI and Kubernetes package dependencies using npm or yarn:

```bash
npm install @pulumi/oci @pulumi/kubernetes
```

After that, you can run the Pulumi command to create the resources:

```bash
pulumi up
```

This will execute the Pulumi program, prompt you for confirmation, and provision the specified resources within your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure account.
