Deploy the redis-sed helm chart on AWS EKS
TypeScriptTo deploy the
redis-ha
Helm chart on AWS EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service), you will need to follow these steps using Pulumi:-
Create an EKS Cluster: An EKS cluster provides the Kubernetes control plane. You will need to define the networking resources like VPC, subnets, and the IAM role that Kubernetes will assume for AWS actions.
-
Install the Helm Chart: Once your Kubernetes cluster is up and running, you can deploy applications into it using Helm charts. Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes, allowing you to define, install, and upgrade even the most complex Kubernetes applications.
-
Verify the Deployment: After the deployment of the Helm chart, you should also consider verifying the status of the deployed resources.
Let's write a Pulumi program in TypeScript to deploy the
redis-ha
Helm chart to an EKS cluster.import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws"; import * as awsx from "@pulumi/awsx"; import * as eks from "@pulumi/eks"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Create a VPC for our cluster. const vpc = new awsx.ec2.Vpc("my-vpc", {}); // Create an EKS cluster with the default configuration. const cluster = new eks.Cluster("my-cluster", { vpcId: vpc.id, subnetIds: vpc.privateSubnetIds, }); // Export the cluster's kubeconfig. export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig; // Create a Kubernetes provider instance that uses our EKS cluster. const provider = new k8s.Provider("provider", { kubeconfig: cluster.kubeconfig.apply(JSON.stringify), }); // Deploy the Helm chart for redis-ha. const redisHaChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("redis-ha", { chart: "redis-ha", version: "4.3.6", // You may want to specify the exact chart version to use fetchOpts: { repo: "https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami" }, // or the correct repository hosting the chart namespace: "default", }, { provider }); // Export the cluster endpoint to enable accessing the Redis instance. export const clusterEndpoint = cluster.core.endpoint; // Export the Redis service endpoint within the cluster for in-cluster configurations. export const redisServiceEndpoint = pulumi.interpolate`redis://${redisHaChart.getResourceProperty("v1/Service", "redis-ha", "status").apply(status => status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname)}:6379`;
Here's a breakdown of the code:
-
VPC Creation: It's common to start by defining a VPC for the EKS cluster. This code uses the
awsx
library for convenience, creating a VPC with both public and private subnets. -
EKS Cluster Creation: The EKS cluster
my-cluster
is created using theeks
Pulumi package, taking care to pass our VPC details. This will set up the Kubernetes control plane and node groups for running the workload. -
Kubeconfig Export: Once the cluster is created, you need access to the
kubeconfig
to communicate with the cluster. It is exported as a stack output. -
Kubernetes Provider Setup: Communication with the EKS cluster from Pulumi uses the
kubernetes
provider. It requires thekubeconfig
for authentication. -
Helm Chart Deployment: The
redis-ha
Helm chart is then deployed. TheChart
resource is used from thekubernetes
package. -
Service Endpoint Export: This exports the Kubernetes service's endpoint for Redis, which allows you to access Redis from within the cluster.
-
Cluster Endpoint Export: This provides the EKS cluster endpoint, which allows access to the cluster API server from outside the cluster.
To deploy this program:
- Install Pulumi and AWS CLI.
- Configure AWS CLI with
aws configure
. - Run
pulumi up
to deploy the stack.
Remember to replace the Helm chart version and the repository URL with the appropriate values for the version of the
redis-ha
chart that you would like to deploy.After successful deployment, you can manage your Redis instance through the Kubernetes API using tools like
kubectl
configured with the outputkubeconfig
.Please note that this program assumes you have the necessary permissions to create and manage AWS and EKS resources within your AWS account.
