1. Deploy the powerdns helm chart on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

    TypeScript

    To deploy the PowerDNS Helm chart on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), you'll need to complete a few steps:

    1. Create an AKS cluster where your applications will run.
    2. Install the Helm CLI to manage Kubernetes applications.
    3. Add the Helm chart repository that contains PowerDNS.
    4. Deploy PowerDNS using the Helm chart.

    We will write a Pulumi program that will set up the AKS cluster for you. After running this program, you'll have an AKS cluster ready for deploying applications using Helm charts, including PowerDNS.

    Before you can run the Pulumi program, ensure you have installed Pulumi and set up the Azure CLI, and you are logged in with an account that has permissions to create resources on Azure.

    Here's a Pulumi TypeScript program that provisions an AKS cluster:

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure-native"; // Create a resource group for the AKS cluster const resourceGroup = new azure.resources.ResourceGroup("aksResourceGroup"); // Create the AKS cluster const aksCluster = new azure.containerservice.ManagedCluster("aksCluster", { resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, agentPoolProfiles: [{ count: 2, // The number of VMs in the AKS cluster - this can be adjusted as needed maxPods: 110, // The maximum number of pods that can run on a node name: "aksagentpool", osDiskSizeGB: 30, // The OS disk size in GB osType: "Linux", vmSize: "Standard_DS2_v2", // The size of the VMs in the AKS cluster - can be changed as per requirements }], dnsPrefix: "aks-clus", // The DNS prefix for the AKS cluster linuxProfile: { adminUsername: "akspowerdnsadmin", ssh: { publicKeys: [{ keyData: "<YOUR_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY>", // Replace <YOUR_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY> with your SSH public key }], }, }, servicePrincipalProfile: { clientId: "<YOUR_AZURE_CLIENT_ID>", // Replace <YOUR_AZURE_CLIENT_ID> with your Azure client id secret: "<YOUR_AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET>", // Replace <YOUR_AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET> with your Azure client secret }, }); // Export the kubeconfig to access the AKS cluster export const kubeconfig = pulumi. all([aksCluster.name, resourceGroup.name]). apply(([clusterName, rgName]) => { return azure.containerservice.listManagedClusterUserCredentials({ resourceName: clusterName, resourceGroupName: rgName, }); }). apply(creds => Buffer.from(creds.kubeconfigs[0].value, 'base64').toString()); // After setting up the AKS cluster using Pulumi, you can install Helm and deploy PowerDNS on it.

    Replace the placeholders <YOUR_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY>, <YOUR_AZURE_CLIENT_ID>, and <YOUR_AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET> with your actual data. The SSH public key is used to authenticate to the VMs in the cluster, while the Azure client ID and secret are credentials for your service principal that grants the AKS cluster access to other Azure resources.

    After you have your AKS cluster created by running the Pulumi program, you can proceed with Helm to deploy PowerDNS.

    1. Install Helm following the instructions from the official Helm documentation.
    2. Add the repository containing the PowerDNS Helm chart:
      helm repo add some-repo https://charts.powerdns.com/
    3. Update repositories:
      helm repo update
    4. Install PowerDNS Helm chart onto your AKS cluster:
      helm install powerdns some-repo/powerdns --version <VERSION> --namespace <NAMESPACE> --create-namespace
      Replace <VERSION> with the version of the PowerDNS Helm chart you want to use and <NAMESPACE> with the namespace where you want to deploy PowerDNS.

    Remember that Azure resources may incur costs, so verify the configurations to match your budget and needs.
