Deploy the chaosmesh-app helm chart on Opensshift
TypeScriptTo deploy the
chaosmesh-app
Helm chart on OpenShift using Pulumi, you would use thekubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
resource from the Pulumi Kubernetes provider. This resource allows you to deploy a Helm chart from a repository to a Kubernetes cluster, including an OpenShift cluster, since OpenShift is Kubernetes with additional features.Before you start writing the Pulumi program, ensure you have the following prerequisites in place:
- Pulumi CLI installed on your local machine.
- Access to an OpenShift cluster and the appropriate context configured in your local kubeconfig file.
- Helm chart repository that contains the
chaosmesh-app
chart, or the Helm chart files locally.
Here is a detailed Pulumi program written in TypeScript that deploys the
chaosmesh-app
Helm chart to an OpenShift cluster:import * as k8s from '@pulumi/kubernetes'; import * as pulumi from '@pulumi/pulumi'; // Create a new Kubernetes provider instance that uses the context for your OpenShift cluster. // Ensure that your kubeconfig is correctly set up to point to your OpenShift cluster. const openshiftProvider = new k8s.Provider('openshiftK8s', { kubeconfig: '<YOUR_KUBECONFIG_CONTENT_HERE>' }); // Deploy the 'chaosmesh-app' Helm chart to the OpenShift cluster. const chaosMeshAppChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart('chaosmesh-app', { // Specify the chart, version and repository if it's not a local chart // For a local chart, you can set the `path` property to the directory containing your Helm chart files chart: 'chaosmesh-app', version: '<HELM_CHART_VERSION>', // Specify the version of the chart repositoryOpts: { repo: 'https://charts.chaos-mesh.org', // Replace with the URL of the chart repository if necessary }, // Set values for the Helm chart as needed. values: { // Provide custom values for the Helm chart here, e.g., // replicaCount: 1, // image: { repository: 'my-repo/my-image', tag: 'v1.2.3' }, // These would override default values in the Helm chart's `values.yaml` file } }, { provider: openshiftProvider }); // Export the necessary details, like the Helm release status or service URLs. export const chaosMeshAppStatus = chaosMeshAppChart.status // The status of the Helm release export const chaosMeshAppServiceUrl = chaosMeshAppChart.getResourceProperty('v1/Service', 'chaosmesh-app', 'spec.clusterIP'); // Export the ClusterIP of the service
Here's a breakdown of the program:
-
Provider Configuration: The
@pulumi/kubernetes
package is imported to manage Kubernetes resources. A new instance ofProvider
is created, which specifies the kubeconfig for your OpenShift cluster. -
Deploy Helm Chart: The
k8s.helm.v3.Chart
class is used to represent a Helm chart installation within your OpenShift cluster. You need to specify the name of the Helm chart, the version, and optionally the Helm repository where the chart is hosted. The values specific to thechaosmesh-app
Helm chart can also be provided in thevalues
property. -
Exports: Exports are used to output the deployment status and any other relevant information, like service URLs or external IPs. You can access these values after deployment by using
pulumi stack output
.
Please replace
<YOUR_KUBECONFIG_CONTENT_HERE>
with the actual content of your kubeconfig file (as a string) and<HELM_CHART_VERSION>
with the specific version of the chaos mesh chart you want to deploy.After writing and saving the above program in a
index.ts
file, use the Pulumi CLI to create a new stack and deploy the resources:pulumi stack init chaosmesh-deployment pulumi up
After successful deployment, Pulumi will provide you with the outputs that we have configured to export.
