Deploy the bytesafe-ce helm chart on Opensshift

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy a Helm chart on an OpenShift cluster using Pulumi, you need to define the infrastructure as code using Pulumi's Kubernetes provider. The `kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart` resource from the `@pulumi/kubernetes` package allows you to deploy Helm charts.

Below, I'll show you a simple Pulumi program that deploys the `bytesafe-ce` Helm chart to an OpenShift cluster. You'll need to have OpenShift cluster access configured for `kubectl`, as that's what Pulumi uses under the hood.

Here's what the program does:

- Set up a Kubernetes provider to interact with your OpenShift cluster.
- Use the `Chart` resource to deploy `bytesafe-ce` from its Helm repository.

Make sure you have Pulumi installed and configured, along with `kubectl` configured to connect to your OpenShift cluster. Also, you will need to know the namespace you want to deploy to and the Helm chart repository URL for `bytesafe-ce`.

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

// Define the settings for the Helm chart. Adjust these values to your own environment.
const chartName = "bytesafe-ce";
const chartVersion = "1.2.3"; // replace with the actual chart version you want to deploy
const namespace = "default"; // the namespace where you want to deploy the chart
const repoUrl = "https://charts.bytesafe.dev/"; // replace with the actual Helm chart repository URL

const bytesafeChart = new kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart(chartName, {
    chart: chartName,
    version: chartVersion,
    namespace: namespace,
    fetchOpts: {
        repo: repoUrl,
    },
    // Here you can add custom values or configure the settings that the bytesafe-ce Helm chart accepts
    // values: {
    //   someValue: "some-setting",
    // },
});

export const chartStatus = bytesafeChart.status;
```

In the `fetchOpts`, you need to replace `repoUrl` with the actual repository URL where the `bytesafe-ce` chart is hosted. Similarly, you may need to specify a particular version of the chart you wish to deploy using `chartVersion`.

The `values` object is commented out in this example, but it's where you'd pass any custom configuration that your Helm chart requires.

After writing the code in a file, run `pulumi up` to create the resources. Pulumi will communicate with your cluster using `kubectl` and deploy the chart as specified.

Remember to check the Helm chart's documentation for any specific configurations required and how to obtain the correct repository URL and chart version. If required, update the chart's `values` with appropriate key-value pairs to match your deployment needs.
