Deploy the yumimap helm chart on AWS EKS
TypeScriptTo deploy the
yumimap
Helm chart on an AWS EKS cluster, you need to perform the following steps:- Create an EKS Cluster: You'll need to create an Amazon EKS cluster where your Kubernetes applications can run.
- Deploy Helm Chart: Once you have an EKS cluster running, you can deploy Helm charts to it.
For this task, the following resources are key:
aws.eks.Cluster
: To create and manage an EKS cluster.helm.v3.Chart
: To deploy Helm charts in Kubernetes.
Here's how you can do it using Pulumi with TypeScript:
Step 1: Install the Pulumi CLI and set up AWS credentials
Make sure to have the Pulumi CLI installed and AWS credentials configured on your machine. This isn't covered in the TypeScript program itself, but it's a prerequisite to run the Pulumi program successfully.
Step 2: Write the Pulumi Program
Create a new directory and generate a new Pulumi project there by running
pulumi new aws-typescript
.Replace the contents of
index.ts
with the following TypeScript program: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 a new EKS cluster. const cluster = new eks.Cluster("my-eks-cluster", { instanceType: "t2.medium", desiredCapacity: 2, minSize: 1, maxSize: 3, }); // Export the cluster's kubeconfig. export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig; // Step 2: Deploy the yumimap Helm chart to the EKS cluster. const yumimapChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("yumimap", { chart: "yumimap", // Specify the Helm chart version you want to deploy. // version: "1.0.0", (Uncomment this line if you need a specific version) fetchOpts:{ // Replace this with the actual repo URL that hosts the yumimap chart. repo: "https://charts.your-repo.com", }, }, { provider: cluster.provider }); // If you have any specific configuration values that you want to pass to the Helm chart, // you can include an additional `values` property in the `Chart` args.
Step 3: Deploy the Pulumi Program
Run the following commands:
pulumi up
This command will provision all the resources described in
index.ts
and deploy theyumimap
Helm chart on the EKS cluster.Explanation
- The
eks.Cluster
resource creates an EKS cluster. You must specify the instance type, desired capacity, and the minimum and maximum size of your worker node group. - The
kubeconfig
is exported so you can interact with the cluster using tools likekubectl
. - The
k8s.helm.v3.Chart
resource is utilized to deploy Helm charts to Kubernetes. You will need to specify the chart name and the repository where the Helm chart is stored. Optionally, you can specify the version of the Helm chart. - The options
provider: cluster.provider
tell the Helm chart to deploy on the created EKS cluster.
Next Steps
After running
pulumi up
, Pulumi will print out the kubeconfig as an output. You can configurekubectl
to interact with your new EKS cluster.Remember to replace the placeholder
https://charts.your-repo.com
with the actual repository URL containing theyumimap
Helm chart, and optionally, specify the chart version you want to install.Review the Pulumi documentation for more information on the EKS Cluster and Helm Chart resources.
