Pulumi Community

I've just published <https://github.com/timmyers/pulumi-k8s-metrics-server>, a _pulumi native_ module for deploying `metrics-server` on `kubernetes`, and an alternative to using the helm chart.  It is in an early stage, but I believe it can be useful already.

Feedback and PR's welcome!

That’s awesome, Tim! We’ve been thinking about this scenario a lot at Pulumi lately, and are definitely interested in ways to get Helm out of the loop wherever possible. Thanks for sharing!

Some of the obvious benefits over the helm chart are type checking of parameters, and native dependency management of the module version.

It's probably not practical though to write a module to replace every popular helm chart though and I'm sure you guys are thinking of other strategies.
