Introduction

This plugin will install kubectl cli.

Deployment

kubectl plugin is used internally by other plugins like helm or terraform and ansible etc..

Sample HELM Config

helm:
  cli:
    namespace: ingress-nginx
    timeout: 200s
    debug: true
    atomic: true
    force: false
    dry-run: true
  options:
    release-name: ingress-nginx
    skip-deploy: false
    default-root-dir: _default
    default-dir-flag: false
    default-sub-dir: helm/nginx-ingress
    aws:
      fetch:
        kubeconfig: true
        cluster-name: recruiting-recruiting-recruiting-ekscluster

In the above sample helm config yaml, aws.fetch.kubeconfig: true config will let helm plugin use kubectl plugin to fetch kubeconfig dynamically.

CLI Configuration

BITOPS_KUBECONFIG_BASE64 is an optional config that can be passed to docker run when we want to use a kube config with static token.

Note: Its highly recommended not to use static tokens that never expires.

Sample Docker Run

docker run --rm --name bitops \
-e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="${BITOPS_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}" \
-e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="${BITOPS_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}" \
-e AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="${BITOPS_AWS_DEFAULT_REGION}" \
-e BITOPS_ENVIRONMENT="${ENVIRONMENT}" \
-e BITOPS_KUBECONFIG_BASE64="${BITOPS_KUBECONFIG_BASE64}" \
-v $(pwd):/opt/bitops_deployment \
bitops-core:latest
