Deploy the ibm-security-foundations-prod helm chart on Opensshift

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the `ibm-security-foundations-prod` Helm chart on an OpenShift cluster using Pulumi, you first need access to an existing OpenShift cluster. The following program assumes that you have your OpenShift `kubeconfig` file configured correctly to manage your cluster. If not, you should manage the `kubeconfig` so that the Pulumi Kubernetes provider can interact with your cluster.

In this Pulumi program, we utilize the `@pulumi/kubernetes` package to use the Helm Chart resource to deploy `ibm-security-foundations-prod`. The `Chart` resource is a high-level abstraction that enables you to deploy Helm charts into a Kubernetes cluster.

### Prerequisites:
Before running the Pulumi program, make sure that:
1. You have Pulumi installed.
2. You have the `@pulumi/kubernetes` package installed in your Pulumi project.
3. You have configured access to your OpenShift cluster via `kubeconfig`.

### Detailed Program Explanation:
1. First, we will import the necessary packages from Pulumi.
2. Then, create an instance of the `Chart` resource to deploy the `ibm-security-foundations-prod` Helm chart.
3. You need to define `repo` and `chart` properties for Helm.
4. Optionally, you can customize the deployment through the `values` property, but since the specifics of the Helm chart you want to deploy are not provided, the following program will deploy the chart with default values.
5. It is also assumed that the chart is available in a Helm repository that has already been added outside of this program. If it's not the case, you would have to add the repository configuration within the program.

After explaining the process and assuming you have all prerequisites checked, here is the Pulumi TypeScript program:

```typescript
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

// Create an instance of the kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart class to deploy the ibm-security-foundation-prod chart.
const ibmSecurityFoundationProdChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("ibm-security-foundations-prod", {
    // Specify the chart repository and name.
    // The 'repo' property should point to the Helm repository where the chart is stored.
    // The 'chart' property is the name of the chart within the repository.
    repo: "example-repo", // Replace with actual Helm repository URL or alias
    chart: "ibm-security-foundations-prod",
    
    // Provide the version of the Helm chart you wish to deploy.
    // Comment this line if you want the latest version.
    version: "1.2.3", // Replace with actual chart version

// Define any values you want to override, as an object.
    // Consult the chart's 'values.yaml' to see what customization options are available.
    // Uncomment and populate the 'values' property to override default configurations (if needed).
    // values: {
    //   key: "value",
    //   ...
    // },

// Define the namespace where the chart will be installed.
    namespace: "ibm-security",

// If you require any additional customization, you can pass a series of transformations to manipulate the resources Pulumi generates.
    // Uncomment the 'transformations' property and add necessary transformations (if needed).
    // transformations: [
    //     (obj: any) => {
    //         // Custom transformation logic goes here
    //     },
    // ],
}, { provider: /* Assuming you have the Pulumi Kubernetes provider configured */ });

// Export the base URL of the Helm release.
export const baseUrl = ibmSecurityFoundationProdChart.getResourceProperty("v1/Service", "ibm-security-foundations-prod", "status").loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname;
```

Once you have the program above ready, you can deploy it by running the following Pulumi commands in your terminal:

```bash
pulumi up
```

Please replace `"example-repo"` with the actual name or URL of the Helm repository where the `ibm-security-foundations-prod` chart is hosted. Additionally, replace the `version` property with the correct version of the Helm chart you intend to deploy.

After running the `pulumi up` command, Pulumi will compute the required changes and prompt you to proceed with the deployment. On successful completion, your IBM Security Foundations chart will be deployed to your OpenShift cluster.
