Deploy the jfrog-registry-operator helm chart on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the JFrog Registry Operator Helm Chart on the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), you need to follow these steps:

1. **Set up an AKS cluster**: Before you can deploy any applications with Helm, you need a running Kubernetes cluster. In this case, we'll create an AKS cluster using Pulumi.

2. **Install Helm and the Helm Chart**: Once the cluster is running, you will use Helm to deploy the JFrog Registry Operator.

Below is a Pulumi program in TypeScript that demonstrates these steps. This program does the following:

- Creates an Azure resource group to host all resources.
- Creates an AKS cluster within the resource group.
- Deploys the JFrog Registry Operator Helm Chart to the AKS cluster.

The program will end with an export of the Kubernetes cluster name and the Kubernetes configuration needed to interact with the cluster using `kubectl`.

Make sure your Pulumi stack configuration is set up correctly for Azure, with appropriate credentials.

```typescript
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azure_native from "@pulumi/azure-native";
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

// Step 1: Create a new Azure resource group
const resourceGroup = new azure_native.resources.ResourceGroup("my-resource-group");

// Step 2: Create an AKS cluster
const aksCluster = new azure_native.containerservice.ManagedCluster("my-aks-cluster", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    agentPoolProfiles: [{
        count: 1, // The number of nodes in the node pool
        maxPods: 110,
        mode: "System",
        name: "agentpool",
        osDiskSizeGB: 30,
        osType: "Linux",
        type: "VirtualMachineScaleSets",
        vmSize: "Standard_DS2_v2",
    }],
    dnsPrefix: "myakscluster",
    enableRBAC: true,
    kubernetesVersion: "1.20.7",
    linuxProfile: {
        adminUsername: "aksuser",
        ssh: {
            publicKeys: [{
                keyData: "ssh-rsa PUBLIC_KEY", // Replace PUBLIC_KEY with your SSH public key
            }],
        },
    },
    nodeResourceGroup: `MC_${resourceGroup.name}_myakscluster_eastus`, // Specify the region for your node resource group
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
});

// Step 3: Use the Pulumi Kubernetes provider to interact with the AKS cluster
const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("k8s-provider", {
    kubeconfig: aksCluster.kubeConfigRaw,
});

// Step 4: Deploy the JFrog Registry Operator Helm chart
const jfrogRegistryOperatorChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("jfrog-registry-operator", {
    chart: "jfrog-registry-operator",
    version: "1.2.3", // Specify your desired chart version
    fetchOpts: {
        repo: "https://charts.jfrog.io/", // Official JFrog Helm chart repository
    },
}, { provider: k8sProvider });

// Export the cluster name and kubeconfig
export const clusterName = aksCluster.name;
export const kubeConfig = aksCluster.kubeConfigRaw;
```

### Important Notes and Next Steps

- Replace `"ssh-rsa PUBLIC_KEY"` with your actual SSH public key to access nodes, if needed.
- The `kubeconfig` output is sensitive and contains credentials to access your Kubernetes cluster. Handle it securely.
- The program doesn't specify all possible configurations for an AKS cluster; you should modify the configuration to fit your requirements, such as adjusting the node count, VM size, etc.
- After running this Pulumi program, you can use the `kubeConfig` to configure `kubectl` and interact with your AKS cluster.

Run the Pulumi program by executing `pulumi up` in your terminal. Make sure Pulumi CLI is installed and you're logged into your Pulumi account. If any configuration is required (like setting up the Azure provider), Pulumi will prompt you during the deployment process.
