Deploy the tyk-bootstrap helm chart on Linode Kubernetes Engine
TypeScriptTo deploy the
tyk-bootstrap
Helm chart on Linode Kubernetes Engine using Pulumi, we'll need to follow these steps:- Set up the Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) cluster.
- Configure Pulumi to use the Linode provider.
- Deploy the
tyk-bootstrap
Helm chart to the LKE cluster.
First, you'll need a Linode account with access to the Kubernetes services and an active Kubernetes cluster running. The assume that you have already created or will create an LKE cluster in your Linode account and have
kubeconfig
file that allows you to interact with your Kubernetes cluster usingkubectl
.To deploy the Helm chart, we'll use the
kubernetes
package'sChart
resource from Pulumi, which allows us to manage Helm charts in a Kubernetes cluster in a declarative way. You need the Helm chart's name and optionally the repository where the chart is located if it's not in the default Helm repo.Here's the Pulumi TypeScript program to deploy the
tyk-bootstrap
Helm chart to your LKE cluster:import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Create an instance of the k8s.Provider with the kubeconfig from your LKE cluster. // Make sure to replace `path-to-kubeconfig` with the actual path to your kubeconfig file. const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider('lke-k8s-provider', { kubeconfig: '<path-to-kubeconfig>', }); // Define the settings for the tyk-bootstrap helm chart. const tykBootstrapChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart('tyk-bootstrap', { chart: 'tyk-headless', // Assuming 'tyk-headless' is the helm chart name for tyk-bootstrap. version: '<chart-version>', // Specify the chart version you want to deploy. namespace: 'tyk', // Specify the namespace for deployment if needed, defaults to 'default' if not provided. // Add any custom values as needed. // If the chart requires specific values, define them in this object. values: { // ...custom values }, }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // Export the status of the deployed Helm chart. export const chartStatus = tykBootstrapChart.status;
Replace the placeholder
<path-to-kubeconfig>
with the actual path to your kubeconfig file that you can download from the Linode dashboard. If you need to provide custom values or configuration for the tyk-bootstrap chart, you can set those in thevalues
object.Run this code using the Pulumi CLI by running
pulumi up
in the directory where this script is saved. The CLI will show you a preview of the resources that will be created and will prompt you for confirmation before proceeding to deploy the Helm chart.This program sets up a new instance of the Kubernetes provider pointing to your Linode Kubernetes Engine cluster and uses the provider to deploy the specified version of the
tyk-bootstrap
chart into thetyk
namespace.It's important to note that you should adjust the
chart
,version
, andvalues
fields based on the actual Helm chart details fortyk-bootstrap
. If the Helm chart is located in a custom Helm repository, you'll also need to configure therepo
property with the URL of the Helm repository.
