Deploy the auditbeat helm chart on Kubernetes

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the Auditbeat Helm chart on Kubernetes using Pulumi, you can use the kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart resource. This resource allows you to deploy Helm charts within your Kubernetes cluster. Here's what each part of the code does:

Importing Dependencies: We'll import the necessary modules from Pulumi and @pulumi/kubernetes, which allows us to interact with Kubernetes resources.
Creating a Helm Chart Resource: We'll instantiate a Chart resource from the @pulumi/kubernetes/helm/v3 module. We'll need to provide a release name, the chart name (assuming it's available on a Helm repo), and optionally, any values to override defaults provided by the chart.

Here's a program that demonstrates how to deploy the Auditbeat Helm chart:

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

// Create a Kubernetes provider instance that uses our existing kubeconfig
const provider = new k8s.Provider("k8s-provider", {
    kubeconfig: process.env.KUBECONFIG,
});

// Deploy the Auditbeat Helm chart into the Kubernetes cluster
const auditbeatChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("auditbeat", {
    chart: "auditbeat",
    version: "<chart version>",  // Replace with the desired chart version
    fetchOpts:{
        repo: "https://helm.elastic.co",
    },
    values: {
        // Place any value overrides here, for example
        // image: {
        //   tag: "7.10.0"
        // },
        // You can also enable or disable specific Auditbeat modules here as needed
    },
}, { provider: provider });

// Export the chart name of Auditbeat
export const chartName = auditbeatChart.name;

To run this program, here's what you'll need:

Pulumi with TypeScript: You'll need Pulumi installed and configured on your machine. You can find the installation guide on Pulumi's documentation.
Kubernetes Cluster: Ensure that you have access to a Kubernetes cluster and kubectl is configured to communicate with it. Pulumi programs use the same configuration as kubectl.
Helm Chart Availability: The Auditbeat Helm chart should be available in the Helm repository or have its configuration accessible for Pulumi to use.

Remember to replace the placeholder <chart version> with the actual version of the Auditbeat chart that you wish to install.

Once you have this Pulumi program set up, run pulumi up to deploy the Auditbeat chart to your cluster. Pulumi will provide you with a preview of the resources that will be created and, upon confirmation, apply the changes to the cluster. After the deployment, you will see the chart name exported as an output, which you can use to track your deployment.
