examples VS helm

It seems that kubernetesx never really got much traction, since I'm also having trouble finding any documentation / examples for it (except in the repo itself). For example, it's not even listed in https://github.com/pulumi/examples

From here, there's a bunch more you might think about next: writing more tests to cover the code we just added, exploring some additional flavors of testing in the docs, or having a look at a few examples. You'll find the full source for this walkthrough up on GitHub as well.

https://github.com/pulumi/examples: Lots of useful references in here. It's organized by [cloud]-[language]-* (so for example, aws-ts for AWS TypeScript) and many have good comments that explain what each piece is doing.

I've found the Python one to work well. I haven't used Go's. You can check out code examples for yourself: https://github.com/pulumi/examples. Pulumi programs are really just instantiations of classes/objects with key/value pairs that mirror the cloud provider's API, so it's not surprising that the code between languages look similar. It's interesting that you're not a fan of TypeScript though given that its language features work incredibly well for describing cloud infrastructure work. I would suggest reevaluating it as a language choice.

If you're already comfortable with Pulumi, and you just want to get up and running, I've set up a GitHub repo (complete with a Deploy with Pulumi button!) that should have all you need to get going. Just click the button, set a few configs (like your RSS server's administrative password, which will be stored as an encrypted Pulumi secret), and follow the prompts. Your shiny new server should be up and running within minutes.

There's a lot more you can do with integrations like this that we didn't cover: add more Lambda function handlers, have EventBridge target other AWS services (Step Functions might be a good one to try next), validate HTTP request bodies (with API Gateway models, to keep bad data from ever reaching EventBridge), and more. Hopefully this gives you sense of what's possible, though. And as promised, you'll find examples that use both versions of API Gateway in our examples repository on GitHub:

provisioners module is an implementation of Terraform provisioner in Pulumi, which allows us to copy files, run commands remotely on the EC2 instance. Refer to documentation.

Applying Kubernetes manifests individually is problematic because files can get overlooked. Packaging your applications as Helm charts lets you version your manifests and easily repeat deployments into different environments. Helm tracks the state of each deployment as a "release" in your cluster.

Looks like it's a bug in Helm, but actually isn't Helm's fault, the issue was introduced by Fedora Linux.

It’s also well understood that having a k8s cluster is not enough to make developers able to host their services - you need a devops team to work with them, using tools like delivery pipelines, Helm, kustomize, infra as code, service mesh, ingress, secrets management, key management - the list goes on! Developer Portals like Backstage, Port and Cortex have started to emerge to help manage some of this complexity.

Kubernetes orchestrates deployments and manages resources through yaml configuration files. While Kubernetes supports a wide array of resources and configurations, our aim in this tutorial is to maintain simplicity. For the sake of clarity and ease of understanding, we will use yaml configurations with hardcoded values. This method simplifies the learning process but isn’t ideal for production environments due to the need for manual updates with each new deployment. Although there are methods to streamline and automate this process, such as using Helm charts or bash scripts, we’ll not delve into those techniques to keep the tutorial manageable and avoid fatigue — you might be quite tired by that point!

Helm is a package manager that automates Kubernetes applications' creation, packaging, configuration, and deployment by combining your configuration files into a single reusable package. This eliminates the requirement to create the mentioned Kubernetes resources by ourselves since they have been implemented within the Helm chart. All we need to do is configure it as needed to match our requirements. From the public Helm chart repository, we can get the charts for common software packages like Consul, Jenkins SonarQube, etc. We can also create our own Helm charts for our custom applications so that we don’t need to repeat ourselves and simplify deployments.

We can search for charts https://helm.sh/ . Charts can be pulled(downloaded) and optionally unpacked(untar).

Generally I felt as if I was diving in the deepest of waters without the correct equipement and that was horrifying. Unfortunately to me, I had to dive even deeper before getting equiped with tools like ArgoCD, and k8slens. I had to start working with... HELM.

Within the architecture of Cyclops, a central component is the Helm engine. Helm is very popular within the Kubernetes community; chances are you have already run into it. The popularity of Helm plays to Cyclops's strength because of its straightforward integration.
