  2. Deploy the nginx:latest Docker image on Kubernetes with TypeScript

How do I deploy the nginx:latest Docker image on Kubernetes with TypeScript?

In this guide, we will deploy the nginx:latest Docker image on a Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi and TypeScript. We will define a Kubernetes Deployment for the NGINX container and expose it using a Kubernetes Service. This setup will allow us to run an NGINX web server on our Kubernetes cluster.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

// Define a Kubernetes namespace
const namespace = new k8s.core.v1.Namespace("nginx-namespace", {
    metadata: { name: "nginx-namespace" },
});

// Define a Kubernetes deployment for the NGINX container
const appLabels = { app: "nginx" };
const deployment = new k8s.apps.v1.Deployment("nginx-deployment", {
    metadata: {
        namespace: namespace.metadata.name,
    },
    spec: {
        selector: { matchLabels: appLabels },
        replicas: 1,
        template: {
            metadata: { labels: appLabels },
            spec: {
                containers: [{
                    name: "nginx",
                    image: "nginx:latest",
                    ports: [{ containerPort: 80 }],
                }],
            },
        },
    },
});

// Define a Kubernetes service to expose the NGINX deployment
const service = new k8s.core.v1.Service("nginx-service", {
    metadata: {
        namespace: namespace.metadata.name,
    },
    spec: {
        selector: appLabels,
        ports: [{ port: 80, targetPort: 80 }],
        type: "LoadBalancer",
    },
});

// Export the service URL
export const serviceUrl = service.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname;

Key Points

  • We created a Kubernetes namespace to isolate our resources.
  • We defined a Kubernetes Deployment to manage the NGINX container, specifying the container image and port.
  • We exposed the Deployment using a Kubernetes Service of type LoadBalancer, which will create an external load balancer to access the NGINX web server.
  • We exported the service URL to access the NGINX server.

Conclusion

In this guide, we deployed the nginx:latest Docker image on a Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi and TypeScript. We created a Deployment to manage the NGINX container and a Service to expose it to the internet. This setup allows us to run and access an NGINX web server on our Kubernetes cluster.
