Deploy the orangehrm helm chart on Azure Managed Openshift Service
TypeScriptTo deploy the OrangeHRM Helm chart on Azure Managed OpenShift Service using Pulumi, you will need to perform the following steps:
- Set up an Azure Managed OpenShift cluster.
- Deploy the OrangeHRM Helm chart to this OpenShift cluster.
We'll use two main Pulumi resources for this task:
azure-native.containerservice.OpenShiftManagedCluster
: to create a Managed OpenShift cluster in Azure.kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
: to deploy the OrangeHRM Helm chart to the Kubernetes cluster.
Let's go through the process step by step.
Step 1: Create a Managed OpenShift Cluster
You need to create an Azure OpenShift cluster first. The
azure-native.containerservice.OpenShiftManagedCluster
resource will be responsible for this (Azure Managed OpenShift documentation).You should specify the required details for the cluster, including the location, number of nodes, VM size for the nodes, and the network profile.
Step 2: Deploy the OrangeHRM Helm chart
After the OpenShift cluster is set up, you can deploy the OrangeHRM Helm chart using the
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
resource (Helm Chart documentation).You will need to specify the chart name, repository, and any custom values that are necessary to configure OrangeHRM.
Below is a Pulumi program in TypeScript that accomplishes these tasks. Note that you should have Pulumi installed and configured with Azure credentials, as well as
kubectl
configured to access the Azure OpenShift cluster created by the program.import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as azure_native from "@pulumi/azure-native"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Create an Azure Resource Group if it doesn't exist const resourceGroup = new azure_native.resources.ResourceGroup("myResourceGroup", { resourceGroupName: "myResourceGroup", // You can name this as per your preference location: "East US", // Choose the appropriate region }); // Create the Azure Managed OpenShift cluster const cluster = new azure_native.containerservice.OpenShiftManagedCluster("myOpenShiftCluster", { resourceName: "myOpenShiftCluster", // You can name this as per your preference resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, location: resourceGroup.location, openShiftVersion: "4.3", // Specify the OpenShift version you want to deploy agentPoolProfiles: [{ name: "mypool", // Name the node pool count: 3, // Specify the number of nodes in the node pool vmSize: "Standard_DS2_v2", // Specify the VM size osType: "Linux", // Choose the OS type }], // TODO: Make sure to configure the network profile according to your needs networkProfile: { vnetCidr: "10.0.0.0/8", }, }); // To deploy a Helm chart, we need to set up a K8s provider to use the created cluster const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("k8sProvider", { kubeconfig: cluster.config.map(c => c.kubeconfig), // Use kubeconfig output of the cluster }); // Deploy the OrangeHRM Helm chart in the cluster using the K8s provider const orangeHRMChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("orangehrm", { chart: "orangehrm", version: "4.1.0", // Specify the chart version you want to deploy fetchOpts: { repo: "https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami", // Repository where the OrangeHRM Helm chart is located }, }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // Export the Kubeconfig to access the cluster export const kubeconfig = cluster.config.map(c => c.kubeconfig);
Explanation of the program:
- The
resourceGroup
is an instance that represents the Azure Resource Group that will contain all the resources. - The
cluster
resource will create an Azure Redhat OpenShift Cluster. It includes configuration like the OpenShift version, the size, and count of the VMs for nodes, and network configuration. - The
k8sProvider
is a Pulumi Kubernetes provider that abstracts the Kubernetes API. It uses the outputkubeconfig
from thecluster
as credentials to connect to the OpenShift cluster. - The
orangeHRMChart
resource uses the Helm Chart component to deploy OrangeHRM to your OpenShift cluster. You specify the chart name and its version, along with the repository URL where the chart is located.
After deploying this Pulumi program with
pulumi up
, you will have a Managed OpenShift Service running in Azure with OrangeHRM deployed. You can
