Deploy the Csi-Driver-Nfs Helm Chart on TypeScriptogle Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

Introduction

In this guide, we will deploy the csi-driver-nfs Helm chart on a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster using Pulumi with TypeScript. The key services involved include GKE for the Kubernetes cluster and Helm for managing the deployment of the csi-driver-nfs chart.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Step 1: Set Up Pulumi and Install Dependencies

1. Ensure you have Pulumi CLI installed. If not, follow the installation guide.
2. Create a new Pulumi project:

   pulumi new typescript
   

3. Install the necessary Pulumi packages:

   npm install @pulumi/pulumi @pulumi/gcp @pulumi/kubernetes
   

Step 2: Configure GKE Cluster

1. Define the GKE cluster configuration in your index.ts file:

   import * as gcp from "@pulumi/gcp";
   import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";
   
   const cluster = new gcp.container.Cluster("gke-cluster", {
       initialNodeCount: 3,
       minMasterVersion: "1.21",
       nodeVersion: "1.21",
       nodeConfig: {
           machineType: "n1-standard-1",
           oauthScopes: [
               "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform",
           ],
       },
   });
   
   const kubeconfig = pulumi.interpolate`apiVersion: v1
   

kind: Config clusters:

• cluster: certificate-authority-data: ${cluster.masterAuth.clusterCaCertificate} server: https://${cluster.endpoint} name: gke-cluster contexts:

• context: cluster: gke-cluster user: gke-cluster name: gke-cluster current-context: gke-cluster kind: Config preferences: {} users:

• name: gke-cluster user: auth-provider: config: access-token: ${gcp.config.accessToken} cmd-args: config config-helper –format=json cmd-path: gcloud expiry: ${gcp.config.tokenExpiry} expiry-key: ‘{.credential.token_expiry}’ token-key: ‘{.credential.access_token}’ name: gcp `;

  export const clusterName = cluster.name; export const kubeconfig = kubeconfig;

Step 3: Deploy the csi-driver-nfs Helm Chart

1. Define the Helm chart deployment in your index.ts file:

   const provider = new k8s.Provider("k8s-provider", {
       kubeconfig: kubeconfig,
   });
   
   const nfsDriver = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("csi-driver-nfs", {
       chart: "csi-driver-nfs",
       version: "latest",
       fetchOpts: {
           repo: "https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/nfs-ganesha-server-and-external-provisioner/",
       },
   }, { provider });
   

Step 4: Deploy the Stack

1. Run the Pulumi commands to deploy the stack:

   pulumi up
   

Summary

By following these steps, you have successfully deployed the csi-driver-nfs Helm chart on a GKE cluster using Pulumi with TypeScript. This setup ensures that your Kubernetes cluster is equipped with the NFS CSI driver for managing NFS volumes efficiently.

Full Code Example

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

const cluster = new gcp.container.Cluster("gke-cluster", {
    initialNodeCount: 3,
    minMasterVersion: "1.21",
    nodeVersion: "1.21",
    nodeConfig: {
        machineType: "n1-standard-1",
        oauthScopes: [
            "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform",
        ],
    },
});

const kubeconfig = pulumi.interpolate\`apiVersion: v1
kind: Config
clusters:
- cluster:
    certificate-authority-data: \${cluster.masterAuth.clusterCaCertificate}
    server: https://\${cluster.endpoint}
  name: gke-cluster
contexts:
- context:
    cluster: gke-cluster
    user: gke-cluster
  name: gke-cluster
current-context: gke-cluster
kind: Config
preferences: {}
users:

  user:
    auth-provider:
      config:
        access-token: \${gcp.config.accessToken}
        cmd-args: config config-helper --format=json
        cmd-path: gcloud
        expiry: \${gcp.config.accessToken}
        expiry-key: '{.credential.token_expiry}'
        token-key: '{.credential.access_token}'
      name: gcp
\`;

export const clusterName = cluster.name;
export const kubeconfigOutput = kubeconfig;

const provider = new k8s.Provider("k8s-provider", {
    kubeconfig: kubeconfig,
});

const nfsDriver = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("csi-driver-nfs", {
    chart: "csi-driver-nfs",
    version: "latest",
    fetchOpts: {
        repo: "https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/nfs-ganesha-server-and-external-provisioner/",
    },
}, { provider });
