Deploy the Simple-Grafana Helm Chart on TypeScriptogle Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

Introduction

In this guide, we will deploy the simple-grafana Helm chart on a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster using Pulumi with TypeScript. This involves creating a GKE cluster, configuring the Kubernetes provider, and deploying the Helm chart.

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Create a GKE Cluster

First, we will create a GKE cluster. This requires setting up the necessary resources such as the network, subnetwork, and the cluster itself.

2. Configure the Kubernetes Provider

Next, we will configure the Kubernetes provider to use the newly created GKE cluster.

3. Deploy the Helm Chart

Finally, we will deploy the simple-grafana Helm chart to the GKE cluster.

Summary and Conclusion

In this guide, we have successfully deployed the simple-grafana Helm chart on a GKE cluster using Pulumi with TypeScript. We created a GKE cluster, configured the Kubernetes provider, and deployed the Helm chart.

Full Code Example

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

// Create a GKE cluster
const cluster = new gcp.container.Cluster("my-gke-cluster", {
    initialNodeCount: 3,
    minMasterVersion: "latest",
    nodeConfig: {
        machineType: "e2-medium",
    },
});

// Export the cluster name
export const clusterName = cluster.name;

// Get the GKE cluster's kubeconfig
const clusterKubeconfig = pulumi.all([cluster.name, cluster.endpoint, cluster.masterAuth]).apply(([name, endpoint, auth]) => {
    return \`apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- cluster:
    certificate-authority-data: \${auth.clusterCaCertificate}
    server: https://\${endpoint}
  name: \${name}
contexts:
- context:
    cluster: \${name}
    user: \${name}
  name: \${name}
current-context: \${name}
kind: Config
preferences: {}
users:
- name: \${name}
  user:
    auth-provider:
      config:
        cmd-args: config config-helper --format=json
        cmd-path: gcloud
        expiry-key: '{.credential.token_expiry}'
      name: gcp
\`;
});

// Export the kubeconfig
export const kubeconfig = clusterKubeconfig;

// Create a Kubernetes provider instance using the kubeconfig
const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("k8s-provider", {
    kubeconfig: clusterKubeconfig,
});

// Deploy the simple-grafana Helm chart
const grafanaChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("simple-grafana", {
    chart: "simple-grafana",
    version: "1.0.0",
    fetchOpts: {
        repo: "https://example.com/charts",
    },
}, { provider: k8sProvider });
