Deploy the cyberark-sidecar-injector helm chart on Rancher
TypeScriptTo deploy the
cyberark-sidecar-injector
Helm chart on Rancher, you will need to interact with a Rancher Kubernetes cluster and use Pulumi to apply configurations to it. The following steps outline the process you will take using Pulumi with TypeScript:- Set up a Pulumi project and stack specific to your environment and the Rancher Kubernetes cluster.
- Utilize the
rancher2
Pulumi provider to authenticate and interact with your Rancher instance. - Deploy the
cyberark-sidecar-injector
chart using Pulumi's Helm support.
Here is a Pulumi program in TypeScript that demonstrates how to deploy a Helm chart on a Rancher-managed Kubernetes cluster.
import * as rancher2 from "@pulumi/rancher2"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; // Create a Rancher2 provider instance using the credentials for your Rancher server. const rancherProvider = new rancher2.Provider("my-rancher", { apiUrl: "https://<your-rancher-server-url>", accessKey: "<your-rancher-access-key>", secretKey: "<your-rancher-secret-key>", }); // Get a reference to the Rancher Kubernetes cluster that you want to manage. // Make sure you replace '<your-cluster-id>' with the actual ID of your cluster. const cluster = rancher2.getCluster({ id: "<your-cluster-id>", }, { provider: rancherProvider }); // Set up a Kubernetes provider instance to interact with the Rancher Kubernetes cluster. const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("k8s-provider", { kubeconfig: cluster.kubeConfig, }); // Define the namespace where the Helm chart will be installed. const namespace = new k8s.core.v1.Namespace("cyberark-namespace", { metadata: { name: "cyberark", }, }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // Deploy the cyberark-sidecar-injector Helm chart into the namespace. const chart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("cyberark-sidecar-injector", { chart: "cyberark-sidecar-injector", version: "<chart-version>", // Specify the chart version you wish to deploy fetchOpts: { repo: "https://cyberark.github.io/helm-charts", // The Helm chart repository }, namespace: namespace.metadata.name, // Values to configure the Helm chart. // Replace with any values required for your specific setup. values: { // Configuration values }, }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // Export the namespace name of the installed chart export const cyberarkNamespace = namespace.metadata.name;
This program performs the following:
- It starts by importing the necessary Pulumi packages for Rancher2, Kubernetes, and general Pulumi functionality.
- It creates a new
rancher2.Provider
which is required to authenticate with your Rancher server using the API URL and your access keys. - A Kubernetes provider is set up to interact with the cluster managed by Rancher, using the kubeConfig provided by the Rancher2 cluster.
- Next, a new
Namespace
resource is created in Kubernetes where the Helm chart will be deployed. - The
cyberark-sidecar-injector
Helm chart is then deployed using Pulumi'shelm.v3.Chart
. - You will need to replace the placeholders (
<your-rancher-server-url>
,<your-rancher-access-key>
,<your-rancher-secret-key>
,<your-cluster-id>
, and<chart-version>
) with actual values specific to your environment. - Optionally, you can provide configuration values for the Helm chart under the
values
property. - Lastly, the namespace created for the Helm chart is exported as an output of the Pulumi program.
Before running this Pulumi program, ensure the following:
- The Pulumi CLI is installed and configured for use.
- Your Rancher server is running and you have the necessary access keys.
- You have permissions to deploy resources on the Kubernetes cluster managed by Rancher.
- The
cyberark-sidecar-injector
Helm chart exists in the specified repository and<chart-version>
matches the version you want to deploy.
To execute this Pulumi program:
- Save the TypeScript code to a file in a Pulumi project, for example,
index.ts
. - Navigate to the directory containing your Pulumi project.
- Run
pulumi up
to initiate the deployment process.
Follow the command-line prompts to authenticate if needed, preview the changes, and confirm the deployment. When confirmed, Pulumi will perform the necessary actions to deploy the Helm chart to your Rancher-managed Kubernetes cluster.
