Deploy the workadventure helm chart on AWS EKS
TypeScriptTo deploy the WorkAdventure Helm chart on AWS EKS, we will follow these steps:
- Create an Amazon EKS Cluster.
- Deploy the WorkAdventure Helm chart onto the EKS Cluster.
Here's a breakdown of these steps and how we'll execute them using Pulumi:
1. Create an Amazon EKS Cluster
Using the
eks.Cluster
component from Pulumi, we can define and provision an EKS cluster. This high-level component simplifies the process of setting up an EKS cluster. It automatically sets up the required VPC and Subnet infrastructure unless specified, simplifies node group creation, and sets sane defaults.2. Deploy the WorkAdventure Helm Chart
Once we have our EKS cluster up and running, we will deploy the WorkAdventure Helm chart using the
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
resource from the Pulumi Kubernetes provider. This resource allows us to specify a Helm chart from any repository and deploy it to our Kubernetes cluster.Now, let's see this process in code. First, we'll set up the EKS cluster, and then we'll deploy the WorkAdventure Helm chart:
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as eks from "@pulumi/eks"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Create an EKS cluster with the default configuration const cluster = new eks.Cluster("workadventure-eks", {}); // Export the cluster's kubeconfig. export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig; // Deploy WorkAdventure Helm chart to the EKS cluster const workAdventureChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("workadventure", { chart: "workadventure", version: "1.0.0", // Use the appropriate version for the WorkAdventure Helm chart. fetchOpts: { repo: "https://helm.workadventure.example.com" }, // Replace with the correct Helm repository URL. namespace: "default", // Deploy to the default namespace, this can be changed as needed. }, { provider: cluster.provider }); // Export the Helm chart resources export const helmChartResources = workAdventureChart.resources;
What this code does:
-
The
eks.Cluster
resource creates a managed Kubernetes cluster on AWS EKS with the default settings. This includes creating VPCs, subnets, and worker nodes required to run EKS. More parameters can be configured if needed. -
The
k8s.helm.v3.Chart
resource then connects to the Helm chart repository for WorkAdventure and deploys the chart onto the EKS cluster we just provisioned. The chart and its version must be substituted with the actual chart information for WorkAdventure.
Please note that this is a basic setup. Depending on your needs, you might want to configure networking, access control, scaling, and other aspects of the EKS cluster and Helm chart deployment.
Before running the Pulumi program, ensure that AWS credentials are configured, and Pulumi CLI is installed. Then, you can run
pulumi up
to provision the resources in your AWS account.Lastly, given that WorkAdventure and its Helm chart are hypothetical or at least non-standard / widely known, you will need to replace
"https://helm.workadventure.example.com"
with the actual repository URL and"1.0.0"
with the correct chart version. If WorkAdventure requires specific configuration values, these can be supplied in thevalues
field within theChart
resource options.
