Create Secure Jupyter Notebooks on Kubernetes using Pulumi

In this post, we will work through an example that shows how to use Pulumi to create Jupyter Notebooks on Kubernetes. Having worked on Kubernetes since 2015, a couple of critical benefits jump out that may resonate with you as well:
- You write everything in code - TypeScript in our example here.
- You need not initialize Tiller or Helm to work with existing Helm charts like
nginx-ingress-controller
that we use here. - The security patterns in Helm and Tiller are no longer concerns, rather you get to focus on the RBAC of the actual service which is Jupyter-notebook in this example.
- You accomplish more with less YAML and iteratively work towards your use cases.
