kubernetes-deployment

kubernetes-deployment

Deploys our manifests from GitHub to Kubernetes.

Development Status Currently, kubernetes-deployment is only intended for internal use, so expect bigger changes at anytime.

Usage

There is a complete built-in help, which is probably more up to date, than this README:

kubernetes-deployment help

Configuration

There are different sources of retrieving parameter. They are loaded in the following order. Each item overwrites the previous one:

1. Hardcoded default values
2. Values in ~/.rebuy/kubernetes-deployment/default.[yaml|toml|json|hcl] (eg kubeconfig)
3. Values in ~/.rebuy/kubernetes-deployment/$context.[yaml|toml|json|hcl] (eg kubeconfig)
4. Values in ./config.[yaml|toml|json|hcl] (eg kubeconfig)
5. Environment variables (eg KUBECONFIG)
6. Command line flags (eg --kubeconfig)

The key names in the configuration files always equals the long command line flags. You can generate a complete config with kubectl dump-config.

Example

# ~/.rebuy/kubernetes-deployment/default.yaml
filename: github.com/rebuy-de/cloud-infrastructure/deployments.yaml
github-token: aaf4c61ddcc5e8a2dabede0f3b482cd9aea9434d

Templates

All Kubernetes manifests will be rendered with the Golang template engine.

Functions

The following functions are provided:

• ToLower - converts the string to lowercase chars
• ToUpper - converts the string to uppercase chars Identifier- converts the string to a valid Kubernetes identifier (eg for themeta.name` field)

Variables

kubernetes-deployment uses variables which are inherited in a specific order. Each item overwrites the previous one:

1. generated values
2. hardcoded default values
3. default variables from project config, ie default.variables.
4. variables from context, ie contexts.$context.variables.
5. variables from service, ie services[i].variables.

These are the generated values:

• gitBranchName - The branch name from GitHub, eg master.
• gitCommitID - The full git commit hash, eg afad13cf1941af4ad3101bdf30f087f7dfe27c99. Useful for image tags.
