Experimental Deploy

Apply manifests on initialization in vCluster​

Apply Kubernetes manifests when the virtual cluster starts. This is useful for configuring internal vCluster resources. For example:

experimental:
  deploy:
    vcluster:
      manifests: |-
        apiVersion: v1
        kind: Service
        ...
        apiVersion: v1
        kind: ConfigMap
        ...

Apply manifest templates on initialization in vCluster​

Add a manifest template that uses Helm values. For example:

experimental:
  deploy:
    vcluster:
      manifestsTemplate: |-
        apiVersion: v1
        kind: ConfigMap
        data:
          example: {{ .Release.Name }}

Apply Helm charts on initialization in vCluster​

Upstream chart​

Apply a Helm chart from public and private upstream chart repositories. This example deploys from public and private:

experimental:
  deploy:
    vcluster:
      helm:
        # public chart
        - chart:
            name: cert-manager
            repo: https://charts.jetstack.io
            version: v1.8.0
          # optional field
          values: |-
            installCRDs: true
          release:
            name: cert-manager
            namespace: cert-manager
        # private chart
        - chart:
            name: my-chart
            repo: https://my-company.com/private-repo/
            version: 1.0
            username: my-username
            password: my-password
          release:
            name: my-release
            namespace: my-release-namespace

Local chart​

Apply a chart that exists locally as a compressed tar archive.

experimental:
  deploy:
    vcluster:
      helm:
        bundle: COMPRESSED_STRING

Replace COMPRESSED_STRING with a compressed base64 string that has the chart's contents, which are then directly embedded in the vCluster values file.

Apply manifests on initialization in host​

Apply Kubernetes manifests when the virtual cluster starts into the host namespace. This is useful for configuring external vCluster resources. For example:

experimental:
  deploy:
    host:
      manifests: |-
        apiVersion: v1
        kind: Secret
        ...
        apiVersion: v1
        kind: ConfigMap
        ...
      manifestsTemplate: |-
        apiVersion: v1
        kind: ConfigMap
        data:
          example: {{ .Release.Name }}
