Deploy the tyk-dev-portal helm chart on Kubernetes
TypeScriptWhen deploying a Helm chart with Pulumi, we can define a
Chart
resource from the@pulumi/kubernetes
package. This resource allows for Helm charts to be deployed to a Kubernetes cluster. You will need to provide the name of the chart, the repository where the chart is hosted, and any necessary configuration values required by the chart.In the following program, we'll use the
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
class to deploy the Tyk Developer Portal on Kubernetes. This assumes you have a Kubernetes cluster already running and configured withkubectl
.First, make sure you have the Pulumi CLI installed and the Kubernetes configuration pointing to your cluster. You'll also need to install Node.js and npm to run the Pulumi program.
Here's a Pulumi TypeScript program to deploy the Tyk Developer Portal Helm chart:
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; const tykDevPortalChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("tyk-dev-portal", { repo: "tyk-helm", // The repository name where the chart is located chart: "tyk-dev-portal", // The chart name to deploy // Add necessary values here. You might need to consult the chart's documentation // for the specific values it requires. values: { // Values might include specific configurations like domain, replicaCount, etc. }, }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // Assuming you have a Kubernetes provider instance named `k8sProvider` export const chartName = tykDevPortalChart.metadata.name; // Exports the name of the chart
Before deploying, you might need to add or update the Tyk Helm chart repository to your Helm CLI:
helm repo add tyk-helm https://helm.tyk.io/public/helm/charts/ helm repo update
In the
values
object, you should specify configuration options that are required by the chart. These options can be found in thevalues.yaml
file of the Helm chart or in the chart's documentation. The configurations can include resource limitations, service types, persistence options, among others.It's important to check the official documentation of the chart for any prerequisites or setup that needs to be done prior to installing the chart. For example, setting up a required database, or providing credentials and other configurations via the
values
specified in the chart deployment.Finally, to deploy this chart to your Kubernetes cluster, run
pulumi up
in the same directory as your code.This code export the chart's name, which you could use later on to query the deployed chart's status or if you want to reference it in other parts of your Pulumi program. If you would like to expose other information such as service URLs or persistent volume claims, you can include them in the export section as well.
