kubecfg

type Kubeconfig ¶

type Kubeconfig interface {
	// ConfigFile path to the .kubecfg file where context entries are generated
	ConfigFile() string
	// ForRelease returns the name of the kubectx to use for executing commands against this release
	ForRelease(terra.Release) (Kubectx, error)
	// ForReleases returns a kubectx for each given release
	ForReleases(releases ...terra.Release) ([]ReleaseKtx, error)
	// ForEnvironment returns all kubectxs for all releases in an environment
	ForEnvironment(env terra.Environment) ([]Kubectx, error)
	// ForCluster returns the name of the kubectx to use for executing commands against the cluster (without any awareness of environment/releases)
	ForCluster(cluster terra.Cluster) (Kubectx, error)
}

Kubeconfig manages entries in a `kubectl` config file (traditionally ~/.kube/config) for Terra environments & releases. It creates context entries for environments and releases. It works like `gcloud container clusters get-credentials`, except:

• Users don't have to specify a project or location (because thelma already knows where clusters live)
• Context entries are named in a more user-friendly fashion. For example, the context for the "alpha" environment is called `alpha`, instead of `gke_broad-dsde-alpha_us-central1-a_terra-alpha`. This makes it possible to quickly run a kubectl command against the alpha environment using `kubectl -c alpha` (no need to specify a namespace).

Q: Why not just shell out to gcloud? Because `gcloud` is a big ol' Python app. Thelma is designed to run on developer laptops and depending on users having the correct version of gcloud and Python installed is more brittle than just generating GKE credentials ourselves.

type Kubectx ¶

type Kubectx interface {
	// ContextName name of the run context in the kubecfg file
	ContextName() string
	// Namespace kubectl command should run against
	Namespace() string
}

Kubectx represents a run context for a kubectl command

type ReleaseKtx ¶

type ReleaseKtx struct {
	Release terra.Release
	Kubectx Kubectx
}

ReleaseKtx is a convenience type that bundles a terra.Release with its associated Kubectx
