Deploy the persistentvolumeclaim helm chart on AWS EKS
TypeScriptTo deploy a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) through a Helm chart on an AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster using Pulumi, you will need to follow several steps:
- Create an AWS EKS cluster, if you don't have one already.
- Set up a Kubernetes provider pointing to your EKS cluster to manage Kubernetes resources.
- Deploy the PVC using the Helm chart on your EKS cluster.
Below is a Pulumi program written in TypeScript that accomplishes these tasks. In this program, we will use the
@pulumi/eks
package to create a managed EKS cluster and the@pulumi/kubernetes
package to deploy the Helm chart containing the PersistentVolumeClaim.import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws"; import * as awsx from "@pulumi/awsx"; import * as eks from "@pulumi/eks"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Step 1: Create an EKS cluster. const cluster = new eks.Cluster("my-cluster", { instanceType: "t2.medium", // Change to your desired instance type desiredCapacity: 2, // Change to your desired node count minSize: 1, maxSize: 3, }); // Step 2: Create a Kubernetes provider instance that uses the EKS cluster's kubeconfig. const provider = new k8s.Provider("k8s-provider", { kubeconfig: cluster.kubeconfig.apply(JSON.stringify), }); // Step 3: Deploy the PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) through the Helm chart on your EKS cluster. const pvcChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("my-pvc", { chart: "persistentvolumeclaim", // Replace with the correct Helm repository URL providing the PVC chart // This assumes you have a Helm chart that defines a PVC or you can create one. repo: "my-helm-repo", // Values to pass to the Helm chart. // These should match the expected values for the PersistentVolumeClaim in the chart. values: { size: "10Gi", storageClassName: "gp2", // Ensure this matches your EKS storage class accessModes: [ "ReadWriteOnce" ], // add additional values as needed }, }, { provider: provider }); // (Optional) Export the kubeconfig to access the created cluster with `kubectl` export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig; // (Optional) Export the status of the deployed PVC export const pvcStatus = pvcChart.getResourceProperty("v1/PersistentVolumeClaim", "my-pvc-persistentvolumeclaim", "status");
Before you begin, you will need to have Pulumi and AWS CLI installed and configured:
- Install Pulumi CLI: Follow the installation guide.
- Install AWS CLI: Follow the official AWS documentation.
- Configure AWS CLI with your credentials: Run
aws configure
and input your AWS Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, and default region.
To run this Pulumi program:
- Create a new directory for your Pulumi project.
- Run
pulumi new typescript
inside the new directory and provide your project details. - Replace the contents of
index.ts
with the code provided above. - Install required NPM packages by running
npm install @pulumi/aws @pulumi/awsx @pulumi/eks @pulumi/kubernetes
. - (Optional) If you need to customize the Helm chart for PVC, ensure you have the chart available or reference the chart from your Helm repository.
- Run
pulumi up
to preview and deploy resources.
Please note that you will need a valid PersistentVolumeClaim Helm chart, and you will need to adjust the
chart
andrepo
details in thepvcChart
variable to match the Helm chart you are deploying. You must also ensure that your EKS cluster has a storage class that matches thestorageClassName
specified in your PVC.
