1. Deploy the uoapp helm chart on Kubernetes

    TypeScript

    Deploying a Helm chart on a Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi involves a few steps:

    1. Setting up a Kubernetes cluster: Before we can deploy a Helm chart, we need a Kubernetes cluster. For this example, we will assume that you already have a Kubernetes cluster configured and that kubectl is configured to communicate with your cluster.

    2. Installing the Pulumi CLI and setting up the environment: If you haven't already installed Pulumi, you'll need to download and install the Pulumi CLI for your operating system and set up your Pulumi account. Pulumi manages the cloud infrastructure's state and provides collaboration features. You'll also need to configure Pulumi for Kubernetes by logging in to the Pulumi CLI and setting the Kubernetes context.

    3. Writing the Pulumi code to deploy a Helm chart: Pulumi allows you to define infrastructure as code using programming languages such as TypeScript, Python, Go, and C#. We will use TypeScript in this example since it provides strong typing and is a widely adopted language in the development community.

    4. Deploying the Helm chart: Once we’ve written our code, we can deploy our Helm chart using the pulumi up command. Pulumi will calculate the delta between the current infrastructure and the desired state as defined in our code and apply the changes.

    Now, let's write the Pulumi TypeScript program to deploy the "uoapp" Helm chart:

    import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Define the settings for the Helm chart. const chartName = "uoapp"; const chartVersion = "1.0.0"; // You need to specify the exact version of the chart. const releaseName = "uoapp-release"; const namespace = "default"; // Use the namespace where you want to deploy the Helm chart. // A new Helm chart is instantiated and the uoapp chart from the Helm repository is deployed // into the Kubernetes cluster linked with the context in the kubeconfig file. const uoappHelmChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart(releaseName, { chart: chartName, version: chartVersion, namespace: namespace, // If the Chart requires custom values, you can place them here, like so: // values: { // key: "value", // }, }, { // If you're pointing to a specific Kubeconfig file or context, use the 'provider' option: // provider: new k8s.Provider("k8s-provider", { kubeconfig: "path-to-kubeconfig" }), }); // Export the status URL of the uoapp application once it is deployed export const uoappStatusUrl = pulumi.interpolate`http://${uoappHelmChart.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname}/status`;

    In this program, we have done the following:

    • We import the @pulumi/kubernetes package to interact with Kubernetes resources.
    • We define a few constants for our Helm chart like chartName, chartVersion, releaseName, and namespace.
    • We create a new instance of k8s.helm.v3.Chart which represents the Helm chart we wish to deploy. In the constructor, we specify the chart details including its name, version, and optional values that helm charts might require.
    • Optionally, if you have more than one Kubernetes context or have a kubeconfig file in a non-default location, you can pass a provider to the Helm chart resource with custom settings.
    • Finally, we export a sample output, uoappStatusUrl, which would show how you might get an ingress point like a URL after deploying your Helm chart.

    Remember, the uoapp Helm chart must exist in one of your Helm repositories or on the Artifact Hub. If the chart is in a private repository, you will need to include authentication information for that repository.

    To deploy the Helm chart using Pulumi:

    1. Create a new directory for your Pulumi program.
    2. Run pulumi new typescript to create a new Pulumi TypeScript project.
    3. Replace the contents of index.ts with the TypeScript code above.
    4. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy the changes. You will be prompted to log in to your Pulumi account if you haven't already.

    Keep in mind that the code assumes that you have access to a Kubernetes cluster and that your Pulumi environment is properly set up. If you encounter any errors, make sure that the Helm chart name and version match what's available in the repositories you have access to, and that your Kubernetes context is correctly set up in your environment.
