Hi guys, I have been able to successfully deploy a dagster pipeline to AWS EKS (Kubernetes) cluster. However, to access the dagit interface, I still run

export DAGIT_POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace default \
  -l "<http://app.kubernetes.io/name=dagster,app.kubernetes.io/instance=dagster,component=dagit|app.kubernetes.io/name=dagster,app.kubernetes.io/instance=dagster,component=dagit>" \
  -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
kubectl --namespace default port-forward $DAGIT_POD_NAME 8080:80

To have a permanent address instead, what should be done? Do I create a

service

for it? If yes, what could be the steps? I could appreciate some sense of direction. Do I need to edit

values.yaml

too (that we use in

helm

)?

if you’re using the helm chart, a service should already be created for Dagit. I’m assuming that you want a permanent, external address to access Dagit (like dagit.madhurt.com) - you should look into creating an ingress for your service to allow for an external url https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/

Yes, I am using the helm chart. Thanks, would I also have to change the

.Values.dagit.service.type

to

LoadBalancer

? It’s set to

ClusterIP

by default.

I think that depends on what ingress controller you end up using - for example, if you end up using the NGINX Ingress Controller, a service type of

ClusterIP

should be fine.
