🙋 Roll call! Who else is here? I need help

hey, feel free to ask your question and we'll do our best!

I am doing POCs with Pulumi and find quite interesting and exciting. First of all thanks for such good stuff . I am trying to deploy my application on existing k8s cluster. But not sure how to provide existing cluster info in below code. I am referring example code from github for k8s deployment using helm.

const wordpress = new k8s.helm.v2.Chart("wordpress", {
    repo: "stable",
    chart: "wordpress",
    values: {
        wordpressBlogName: "My Cool Kubernetes Blog!",
    },
}, { providers: { "kubernetes": cluster.provider } });

provider

is the mechanism that tells Pulumi how to create your resource. If you have an existing

kubeconfig

somewhere, you can set it:

provider = k8s.Provider("k8sProvider", {
  kubeconfig: "my-kubeconfig"
}

Then pass that to your helm chart:

const wordpress = new k8s.helm.v2.Chart("wordpress", {
    repo: "stable",
    chart: "wordpress",
    values: {
        wordpressBlogName: "My Cool Kubernetes Blog!",
    },
}, { providers: { "kubernetes": provider} });

🙌 Thanks.

here are my steps to setup

pulumi:

brew install pulumi

cd /Users/username/Documents/kube

mkdir pulumi

cd pulumi

mkdir quickstart && cd quickstart

 pulumi new kubernetes-python -s your-username/kubernetes-python/dev

####### create Pulumi account and generate token & add it it console

pul-*******token

export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config

source venv/bin/activate

CFLAGS="-I /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/lib" GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_OPENSSL=1 GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_ZLIB=1 pip install -r requirements.txt

pulumi up

### check details option and confirm yes

kubectl get pods -A

### verify the deployment at https://app.pulumi.com/your-username/kubernetes-python/dev

Guys, instead passing a single value in helm chart can i pass file path in below code.

values: {
        wordpressBlogName: "My Cool Kubernetes Blog!",
    }

@straight-teacher-66836 you'll need to read the file and serialize it into YAML

ohk, @billowy-army-68599 got it. 🙂

@straight-teacher-66836 Pulumi isn't sequential. It creates a dependency graph between resources. If it can't find a dependency between two resources (ie, you haven't passed a resources outputs to another resource) it does everything in parallel. If you explicitly want to create dependencies, yiu'll need to create dependencies using

dependsOn

ok. I am trying to create a cluster first and then do helm deploy . I am able to do it with one helm chart. But now i want to create a cluster then do 4-5 helm deployment either in parallel or using dependson annotation as you suggest. Also i want to make my ts code modularized.

do the helm charts depend on each other? or do you want the helm chart to depend on the cluster?

helm charts depend on cluster

if you pass a provider with a kubeconfig, the dependency will be mapped automatically. Can you share your code? I can help explain how it's working

sure
