Deploy the ibm-sccd helm chart on Opensshift

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the IBM SCCD (IBM SmartCloud Control Desk) Helm chart on an OpenShift cluster using Pulumi, you'll first need to ensure that you have an existing OpenShift cluster to work with. Once you have your OpenShift cluster, you can use Pulumi's `kubernetes` package to deploy a Helm chart onto it.

Below is a Pulumi TypeScript program that uses the `Chart` resource from the `@pulumi/kubernetes/helm` package to deploy the `ibm-sccd` Helm chart to an OpenShift cluster. This program assumes that you have already set up the Pulumi CLI, have access to an OpenShift cluster, and have configured your Kubernetes context to point to the desired OpenShift cluster.

The `Chart` resource will install the specified Helm chart into the Kubernetes cluster pointed to by your current context. The `repo` argument specifies the Helm repository where the `ibm-sccd` chart is located, and the `chart` argument specifies the name of the chart. You might need to customize the `values` to fit your deployment requirements.

Please, replace the placeholders in the program with appropriate values. For example, if `ibm-sccd` requires specific values to be set for a successful deployment, customize the `values` object accordingly.

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

// Create a Kubernetes provider instance that uses our existing cluster context.
const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider('openshiftK8s', {
  kubeconfig: 'kubeconfig-content', // Provide your OpenShift kubeconfig content here
});

// Deploy the ibm-sccd Helm chart using the provider.
// You need to replace `'http://ibm-sccd-helm-repo.com'` with the actual Helm repository URL
// and adjust the `values` according to the configuration required for ibm-sccd.
const ibmSccdChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart('ibm-sccd', {
  repo: 'ibm-sccd-chart-repo-name', // Replace with the name of the Helm repository for ibm-sccd
  chart: 'ibm-sccd',
  version: 'chart-version', // Specify the version of the chart you wish to deploy
  namespace: 'ibm-sccd-namespace', // Specify the namespace where to deploy
  values: {
    // Provide configuration values for IBM SCCD, this needs to be customized based on the chart's requirements
  },
}, { provider: k8sProvider });

// Optionally, you can export some values which help you access the deployed services.
// For example, the following exports a Service URL if available.
export const serviceUrl = ibmSccdChart.getResourceProperty('v1/Service', 'service-name', 'status').apply(status => status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname || status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip);
```

Replace the placeholder `http://ibm-sccd-helm-repo.com` with the actual URL of the Helm repository where the IBM SCCD chart is housed. You also need to find out the correct chart `version` and the name of the Service that's created (referred to here as `'service-name'`) to be able to export the service URL. Additionally, adjust the `values` according to the IBM SCCD Helm chart's requirements for proper configuration.

Make sure to review the IBM SCCD Helm chart's documentation for any prerequisites and detailed configuration options, as Helm charts can have specific configuration needs for different environments.

This program will create the necessary resources in your OpenShift cluster to run IBM SCCD via the Helm chart when you run it using the Pulumi CLI. To preview and deploy these resources, you would typically run the following Pulumi CLI commands in the directory where this program is saved:

```
pulumi up
```

The `pulumi up` command will show you a preview of the resources that will be created and ask for confirmation before proceeding with the actual deployment.
