Deploy the paypal-sandbox-dashboard helm chart on AWS EKS
TypeScriptTo deploy the PayPal Sandbox Dashboard Helm chart on AWS EKS, you'll need to go through several steps. The process involves creating an EKS cluster and deploying the Helm chart into that cluster. We will use Pulumi with the AWS provider for provisioning the infrastructure and the Kubernetes provider to deploy the Helm chart.
Here is the step-by-step explanation of how the Pulumi code accomplishes that:
-
EKS Cluster Setup: An Amazon EKS cluster is created using the
aws.eks.Cluster
resource. This is a managed Kubernetes service provided by AWS that simplifies running Kubernetes clusters. -
Kubernetes Role: An IAM role (
aws-iam.EKSRole
) specifically for Kubernetes to allow EKS to manage resources on your behalf. -
Node Group: A NodeGroup is a managed group of EC2 instances that will join the Kubernetes cluster as worker nodes. This is accomplished with the
aws.eks.NodeGroup
resource. -
Helm Chart Deployment: Once the cluster and node groups are set up, we will use the
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
resource to deploy the PayPal Sandbox Dashboard Helm chart. This resource manages Helm chart deployment within a Kubernetes cluster.
Below is the TypeScript program that puts it all together:
import * as pulumi from '@pulumi/pulumi'; import * as aws from '@pulumi/aws'; import * as awsx from '@pulumi/awsx'; import * as eks from '@pulumi/eks'; import * as k8s from '@pulumi/kubernetes'; // Create an EKS cluster. const cluster = new eks.Cluster('my-cluster', { instanceType: "t2.medium", desiredCapacity: 2, minSize: 1, maxSize: 2, }); // The code for deploying a helm chart to the created cluster would look like this: // Initialize the Pulumi Kubernetes provider using the EKS Kubeconfig. const provider = new k8s.Provider('eks-k8s', { kubeconfig: cluster.kubeconfig.apply(JSON.stringify), }); // Deploy the Paypal Sandbox Dashboard Helm Chart into the EKS cluster. const paypalSandboxDashboardChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart('paypal-sandbox-dashboard', { // Replace `<REPOSITORY>` with the Helm repository URL and `<CHART>` with the chart name. chart: '<CHART>', fetchOpts: { repo: '<REPOSITORY>', }, // You would be required to update the values here with the actual values for the PayPal Sandbox Dashboard Helm chart. // values: { ... }, }, { provider }); // Export the cluster's kubeconfig. export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig;
Please replace
<REPOSITORY>
and<CHART>
placeholders with the actual Helm chart repository URL and chart name respectively. Specifying thevalues
object within the chart resource is necessary if you want to customize the default values of the Helm chart; you will need to refer to the documentation for the PayPal Sandbox Dashboard Helm chart for specific configurable values.In the program above, we've exported the kubeconfig of the cluster, which you can use to interact with your cluster via
kubectl
. Remember to runpulumi up
to create the resources as defined.This script is a guideline showing how to create a cluster in EKS and to deploy a chart; modification may be needed to set the correct chart details or configure the chart as per your needs.
