Deploy the tailscale-subnet-router helm chart on AWS EKS
TypeScriptTo deploy the
tailscale-subnet-router
Helm chart on AWS EKS using Pulumi, you use a variety of resources. First, an EKS cluster has to be provisioned. You can do this by using theeks.Cluster
class from Pulumi's EKS package. This class simplifies creating and managing an EKS Kubernetes cluster.Once the cluster is up, you deploy Helm charts by creating an instance of the
Chart
class from the@pulumi/kubernetes
package. This class acts as a representation of a Helm chart in the Pulumi program.Here is a detailed program in TypeScript that does this:
import * as eks from '@pulumi/eks'; import * as pulumi from '@pulumi/pulumi'; import * as kubernetes from '@pulumi/kubernetes'; // Create an EKS cluster. const cluster = new eks.Cluster('my-cluster', { // Define your EKS cluster options here. // For example, you can configure the version with the `version` option: // version: "1.21", }); // Export the cluster's kubeconfig. export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig; // Create a Kubernetes provider instance that uses our EKS cluster's kubeconfig. const provider = new kubernetes.Provider('k8s-provider', { kubeconfig: cluster.kubeconfig, }); // Deploy the tailscale-subnet-router Helm chart into the EKS cluster. const tailscaleSubnetRouterChart = new kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart('tailscale-subnet-router', { chart: 'tailscale-subnet-router', // Specify the Helm chart repository and version here, for example: // repo: "https://myhelmrepo/", // version: "1.2.3", // values: { /* Helm values for custom configuration */ }, }, { provider }); // Optionally export any needed resource attributes, such as the Helm release status or specific services.
Explanation:
- The
eks.Cluster
class creates a managed Kubernetes cluster on AWS EKS with sensible defaults, but you can customize every aspect of it as needed (like the Kubernetes version, node size, etc.). - The
kubeconfig
output of theeks.Cluster
instance is a necessary configuration that allows clients to connect to the cluster. - The
kubernetes.Provider
class is used to create a Pulumi Kubernetes provider that knows how to communicate with our EKS cluster using thekubeconfig
. - The
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
class is used to represent the deployment of a Helm chart. In this case, we’re deploying thetailscale-subnet-router
chart. You would need to provide the chart's repository and version number, and any configuration values the chart requires. - The
{ provider }
argument specifies that the Helm chart should be deployed to the Kubernetes cluster associated with the specified provider, which in this case, is our EKS cluster.
To use this program:
- Install Pulumi and configure AWS credentials.
- Ensure you have Node.js and npm installed to run the TypeScript program.
- Place the TypeScript code in a file named
index.ts
. - Run
npm install @pulumi/eks @pulumi/pulumi @pulumi/kubernetes
. - Run
pulumi up
to create the resources as defined in the code.
For the
tailscale-subnet-router
Helm chart, you'll need to find the specific repository and version you wish to install, which should be provided in place of the example comments in the code.- The
