How to use Ansible Kubernetes packages with the Helm package manager modules

Archives Ansible Project

Hi All,

I am trying to do helm install using Ansible Kubernetes packages with the Helm package manager modules.

If I use the below command in Ansible shell, the helm deployment is a success.

  • name: install_nr_kubernetes_integration
    shell: /usr/local/bin/helm upgrade --install newrelic newrelic/nri-bundle --set global.licenseKey={{ new_relic_key }} --set global.cluster={{ gcp_cluster }} --set infrastructure.enabled=true --set prometheus.enabled=true --set webhook.enabled=true --set ksm.enabled=true --set kubeEvents.enabled=true --set logging.enabled=true

If I try to use the Ansible Kubernetes packages with the Helm package manager modules, the helm deployment is not deployed as expected.

Hi Abhijeet, Team,

Could you help me with my request?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Can you please paste kubectl -n default get pods?

Please find the output.

]# kubectl -n default get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
newrelic-nri-metadata-injection-job-4gsxp 0/1 Completed 0 5h30m

In actual helm deployment, it should show below PODS and daemon sets. All are missing when deploy using ansible helm modules.

Hi Siva,

Can you please try with values like -

  • name: integrate-new-relic-and-prometheus-with-cluster
    community.kubernetes.helm:
    binary_path: “/usr/local/bin/helm”
    release_namespace: default
    name: newrelic
    chart_ref: newrelic/nri-bundle
    values:
    global:
    cluster: “a”
    licenseKey: “a”
    infrastructure:
    enabled: true
    prometheus:
    enabled: true

Hi Abhijeet,

It is showing the same output still.

Not sure where is the issue ?

Thanks,
Siva
