I'm having fun trying to make my EKS cluster work with ALB. There's some docs here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/aws-load-balancer-controller.html I'm adding in the roles I need for that and installing the controller from the helm chart in the same pulumi typescript script which creates the EKS cluster. When I try to get the name of the cluster to pass into the helm chart using

cluster.name

I get a compile error saying:

Copy code

TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
    index.ts(427,24): error TS2339: Property 'name' does not exist on type 'Cluster'.

but looking in the docs https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/eks/api-docs/cluster/#name_nodejs it has name as an input and all inputs are outputs, so why doesn't that work. To prove it wasn't some other issue, like the cluster var being the wrong type of object or something I tried

cluster.core.vpcId

and then the TS compiles fine but obviously the ClusterName is set wrong in the helm chart.

it’s out of date, but this may help https://github.com/jaxxstorm/pulumi-aws-loadbalancercontroller

can you share the code you have? I think you’re looking for cluster.core.name

Copy code

// Create an EKS cluster
const cluster = new eks.Cluster(nam, {
        vpcId: vpcid,
        privateSubnetIds: [ privsub[0], privsub[1] ],
        publicSubnetIds: [ pubsub[0], pubsub[1] ],
        clusterSecurityGroup: sg,
        endpointPrivateAccess: true,
        endpointPublicAccess: false,
        enabledClusterLogTypes: ["api", "audit", "authenticator", "controllerManager", "scheduler"],
        nodeAssociatePublicIpAddress: false,
        instanceType: "t3a.medium",
        maxSize: 10,
        minSize: 2,
        serviceRole: serviceRole,
        createOidcProvider: true,
        useDefaultVpcCni: true,
        roleMappings: [
                {
                        groups: [ "system:masters" ],
                        roleArn: adminVMrole.arn,
                        username: "admin",
                },
        ],
});

That's the call to the eks.cluster function

and you’re trying to grab the cluster name?

yeah

Copy code

// deploy the helm chart for the ALB Controller
const albController = new k8s.helm.v3.Release("albController", {
        repositoryOpts: {           
                repo: "<https://aws.github.io/eks-charts>",
        },                          
        chart: "aws-load-balancer-controller",
        namespace: "kube-system",   
        values: {                   
                image: {            
                        reposistory: "<http://602401143452.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/amazon/aws-load-balancer-controller|602401143452.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/amazon/aws-load-balancer-controller>",
                },                  
                clusterName: cluster.name,
                serviceAccount: {   
                        annotations: {
                                "<http://eks.amazonaws.com/role-arn|eks.amazonaws.com/role-arn>": albControllerRole.arn,
                        },          
                },                  
        },                          
}, { provider: cluster.provider });

that's the helm.Release call

cluster.name
