Deploy the redis-monitoring helm chart on AWS EKS
TypeScriptTo deploy a Redis monitoring Helm chart on an AWS EKS cluster using Pulumi, we will complete several tasks:
-
Create an EKS Cluster: We'll define an EKS cluster resource. An EKS cluster is the foundation for running Kubernetes on AWS and will host our Redis application and its monitoring tools.
-
Deploy the Redis Monitoring Helm Chart: We'll use Pulumi's Helm support to deploy the Redis and corresponding monitoring chart onto the EKS cluster.
Here is a step-by-step program written in TypeScript that will create an EKS cluster and deploy a Redis monitoring Helm chart to it:
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws"; import * as eks from "@pulumi/eks"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Step 1: Create an EKS Cluster const vpc = new aws.ec2.Vpc("vpc", { cidrBlock: "10.100.0.0/16", tags: { Name: "pulumi-eks-vpc", }, }); const subnet = new aws.ec2.Subnet("subnet", { vpcId: vpc.id, cidrBlock: "10.100.1.0/24", tags: { Name: "pulumi-eks-subnet", }, }); const cluster = new eks.Cluster("cluster", { vpcId: vpc.id, subnetIds: [subnet.id], instanceType: "t2.medium", desiredCapacity: 2, minSize: 1, maxSize: 2, deployDashboard: false, }); // Export the cluster's kubeconfig. export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig; // Step 2: Deploy the Redis Monitoring Helm Chart const redisChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("redis", { chart: "redis", version: "10.5.7", namespace: "default", fetchOpts: { repo: "https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami" }, // You can define values based on the Helm chart's available settings. values: { metrics: { enabled: true, serviceMonitor: { enabled: true, // Adjust additional ServiceMonitor settings if necessary. }, }, }, }, { provider: cluster.provider }); // When using Helm charts, the best practice is to export relevant endpoints (e.g. Redis access endpoints, monitoring UI access).
Key Points of the Program:
- The program begins by importing the required Pulumi packages for AWS, EKS, and Kubernetes.
- A new VPC and subnet are created which will be used by the EKS cluster for network isolation and communication with other AWS services.
- An EKS cluster,
cluster
, is instantiated. This is where your Kubernetes deployments will run. The cluster is configured with some basic parameters, like VPC and subnet IDs, instance types, and scaling configurations. - We then export the kubeconfig which is necessary for interacting with your cluster using
kubectl
. - Finally, we deploy the Redis Helm chart into our EKS cluster using the
k8s.helm.v3.Chart
resource. This includes enabling metrics and deploying ServiceMonitor for monitoring purposes.
Next Steps After Deployment:
- Use the exported kubeconfig with your
kubectl
command-line tool to interact with your cluster. - Monitor the deployed Redis instance using the monitoring tools installed by the Helm chart.
- Scale, upgrade, or manage the Redis deployment as per the requirements.
Remember to replace the
version
of the Redis Helm chart if a different one is preferred or if your requirements demand specific configurations within thevalues
object.For more details, you may refer to the Pulumi documentation:
