1. Using kubernetes cilium.io with image.toolkit.fluxcd.io

    TypeScript

    To meet your objective of using Cilium with Flux on a Kubernetes cluster, you'll need to perform several steps. The process involves setting up a Kubernetes cluster, installing Cilium as the networking plugin, and using Flux to manage your cluster's resources through GitOps.

    Before we dive into writing the Pulumi program, I would like to explain briefly about the core components:

    1. Kubernetes Cluster: This is the foundational element where your applications and services will be running. We'll create a managed Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi's resource model. You can choose a cloud provider like AWS, GCP, or Azure for deploying the cluster.

    2. Cilium: This is a CNI (Container Network Interface) plugin for Kubernetes that provides advanced networking and security features. It's responsible for managing network traffic control, load balancing, and security policies for microservices and containers.

    3. Flux: Flux is a tool that automatically ensures the state of a cluster matches what is defined in the version-controlled configuration (declarative infrastructure). With Flux, you can automate deployments and rollbacks, and manage everything as code.

    Using kubernetes and flux Pulumi packages, we will set up a Kubernetes cluster, deploy Cilium, and then configure Flux to manage deployments on the cluster. Let's start by defining the Pulumi program in TypeScript to accomplish these tasks.

    Here's what the Pulumi program will look like:

    import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; import * as flux from "@fluxcd/js-sdk"; // The Kubernetes provider is responsible for registering and authenticating with the cluster and will be used to deploy resources. // You should configure your Kubernetes cluster context before running this. const provider = new k8s.Provider("provider", { // Assuming you have already set up your kubeconfig file kubeconfig: process.env.KUBECONFIG, }); // Using the `flux` package to bootstrap the cluster with Flux. // This will install Flux in the cluster and configure it to synchronize with a specified Git repository. const fluxBootstrap = new flux.FluxBootstrapGit("<flux-name>", { // Replace with your specific parameters path: "<path-to-git-repo-directory>", url: "<git-repo-url>", branch: "main", interval: "1m", namespace: "flux-system", }, { provider }); // Deploying Cilium as the networking plugin for Kubernetes. // We use the Helm provider from Pulumi, which allows us to deploy Helm charts easily. const ciliumChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("cilium", { chart: "cilium", version: "<cilium-chart-version>", fetchOpts:{ repo: "https://helm.cilium.io/", }, }, { provider }); // Exporting the name of the flux bootstrap deployment as a stack output export const fluxBootstrapName = fluxBootstrap.metadata.apply(m => m.name);

    In this program, we are setting up the provider which is required for Pulumi to interact with the Kubernetes cluster. You must have a kubeconfig file properly set up to authenticate with your Kubernetes cluster.

    The flux.FluxBootstrapGit resource is responsible for setting up Flux. You will need to replace parameters like <flux-name>, <path-to-git-repo-directory>, and <git-repo-url> with your actual Flux name, the path in your Git repository where Kubernetes manifests are stored, and the URL to your Git repository, respectively.

    To install Cilium, we're using Pulumi's Chart resource from the Kubernetes package to display a Helm chart from an existing repo; make sure to replace <cilium-chart-version> with the desired version of the Cilium Helm chart.

    Please Note: Make sure to replace all the placeholder values with the actual values required for your setup. For the Cilium version, you should check the official Cilium documentation for the recommended version to use.

    After you write the code, you would run it using the Pulumi CLI (pulumi up), which would provision these resources on your Kubernetes cluster.

    Please remember that you must configure Pulumi with the cloud provider credentials (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure) and install the Pulumi CLI on your machine before running this program. The cloud provider should support Kubernetes clusters and have a Kubernetes service available.

    By running this Pulumi program, you will create a Kubernetes cluster that uses Cilium for networking and have Flux set up to manage your cluster configuration through GitOps.
