Deploy the redroid-emulator helm chart on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
TypeScriptTo deploy the
redroid-emulator
Helm chart on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), we'll follow these steps:- Set up an AKS cluster using the Azure Pulumi provider.
- Use the Helm Chart resource from the Pulumi Kubernetes provider to deploy the
redroid-emulator
chart onto the AKS cluster.
Let's begin by setting up the AKS cluster. We'll need to create the following resources:
- A resource group to hold our AKS cluster.
- An AKS cluster where our application will be deployed.
- A Kubeconfig file to interact with the AKS cluster using
kubectl
.
Once the AKS cluster is set up, we will proceed to deploy the Helm chart. The Helm Chart resource will be used to deploy
redroid-emulator
. We need to provide it the chart name, repository, and any values we want to override in the default configuration.Here's the TypeScript program that performs the above tasks:
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; import * as azuread from "@pulumi/azuread"; import * as random from "@pulumi/random"; // Step 1: Create a resource group for the AKS cluster const resourceGroup = new azure.core.ResourceGroup("aksResourceGroup"); // Step 2: Create an AKS cluster // Create an AD service principal for the AKS cluster. const adApp = new azuread.Application("aks"); const adSp = new azuread.ServicePrincipal("aksSp", { applicationId: adApp.applicationId }); const password = new random.RandomPassword("password", { length: 20, special: true, }); const adSpPassword = new azuread.ServicePrincipalPassword("aksSpPassword", { servicePrincipalId: adSp.id, value: password.result, endDate: "2099-01-01T00:00:00Z", }); // Create the AKS cluster const k8sCluster = new azure.containerservice.KubernetesCluster("aksCluster", { resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, agentPoolProfile: { count: 1, vmSize: "Standard_D2_v2", }, dnsPrefix: "pulumi", linuxProfile: { adminUsername: "adminuser", sshKey: { keyData: "<Your SSH Key>", }, }, servicePrincipal: { clientId: adApp.applicationId, clientSecret: adSpPassword.value, }, }); // Export the kubeconfig to access the AKS cluster using kubectl export const kubeconfig = k8sCluster.kubeConfigRaw; // Step 3: Deploying redroid-emulator using Helm chart // Create a Kubernetes provider instance that uses our kubeconfig. const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("k8s", { kubeconfig: k8sCluster.kubeConfigRaw, }); // Deploy the Helm chart for the redroid-emulator. const redroidChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("redroid-emulator", { chart: "redroid-emulator", version: "0.1.0", // specify the version of the chart fetchOpts:{ repo: "https://<helm-chart-repository-url>", // specify the URL of the Helm chart repository }, }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // After running `pulumi up`, you'll need to wait for the AKS cluster to be up and available // before the Helm chart can be deployed. The kubeconfig needed to interact with the cluster will // be outputted by Pulumi, and can be used with `kubectl` to manage your Kubernetes resources.
Remember to replace
<Your SSH Key>
with your actual SSH public key andhttps://<helm-chart-repository-url>
with the URL to the Helm chart repository whereredroid-emulator
is stored.This Pulumi program sets up the necessary resources to have an AKS cluster ready for the deployment of the Helm chart. When you run
pulumi up
, Pulumi will communicate with Azure to provision these resources. Once the provisioning is complete, you can proceed to deploy other Kubernetes resources or applications onto your cluster.The
kubeconfig
output provides the necessary credentials to interact with your AKS cluster. You can use this withkubectl
or other Kubernetes tools to manage your applications in the AKS cluster.For the Helm chart deployment, ensure that you have the correct chart version and repository URL for
redroid-emulator
. Theversion
field specifies the chart version you want to deploy, and therepo
field withinfetchOpts
specifies where Pulumi can find the chart. If you have configurations specific toredroid-emulator
, you can specify them within thevalues
object.Once you're all set, you can run
pulumi up
to actually create these resources in Azure. This program assumes that you've already configured your Pulumi CLI with the appropriate credentials for Azure.
