Is it possible to perform a 
kubectl apply
with 
pulumi
. I'm trying to install GitLab Agent on a Kubernetes cluster and the "recommended method of installation" is the following.
Copy code
docker run --pull=always --rm \
    <http://registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cluster-integration/gitlab-agent/cli:stable|registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cluster-integration/gitlab-agent/cli:stable> generate \
    --agent-token=REDACTED \
    --kas-address=<wss://kas.gitlab.com> \
    --agent-version stable \
    --namespace gitlab-kubernetes-agent | kubectl apply -f -
I was thinking I can probably run the Docker container via 
pulumi
and get the output of the logs as a string. But then how can I apply that YAML with 
kubectl
? I guess I could you the command package? https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/command/ But not very nice as it relies on my host's installation of 
kubectl
and that it has access to the right cluster.
b
however, it looks like that docker image just generates some yaml which you pipe to 
kubectl
on stdout, you can easily convert that to pulumi as well?
yep, I just confirmed. You can convert to Pulumi
f
Which bit did you confirm? That I could take the logs of the container and pipe it to a 
local.Command
. Thanks for that example usage with 
kubectl
.
b
i ran the docker image and it piped out some kubernetes yaml, so you culd easily convert that to pulumi directly
f
Could you paste what you have so far?
Copy code
const agentToken = config.requireSecret("gitlab-agent-token");

const gitlabAgentContainer = new docker.Container("gitlab-agent-container", {
  image:
    "<http://registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cluster-integration/gitlab-agent/cli:stable|registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cluster-integration/gitlab-agent/cli:stable>",
  rm: true,
  command: [
    "generate",
    `--agent-token=${agentToken}`,
    "--kas-address=<wss://kas.gitlab.com>",
    "--agent-version stable",
    "--namespace gitlab-kubernetes-agent",
  ],
});

module.exports = {
  logs: gitlabAgentContainer.containerLogs,
};
Copy code
const installGitlabAgent = new local.Command("install-gitlab-agent", {
  create: `echo ${gitlabAgentContainer.containerLogs} | kubectl apply -f -`,
  environment: {
    KUBECONFIG: provider.kubeconfig,
  },
});
🤷 ?
b
that totally works too, I just like to keep my code as pulumi'd as possible
f
What about the uninstall?
b
f
Ahh that's neat
b
you can probably create a component that takes the token as an argument
f
I hope that's not a real token?
b
it's the base64 of 
REDACTED
f
ahh 😄
kube2pulumi didn't know about that thanks
b
there's a cli tool as well
f
Can you pipe things through the CLI tool?
b
yup
