Environment Support

Environments are a first-class concept in KubeRig.

Each environment has its own sub-directory in the environments directory.

The environment sub-directory contains at least:

• The CA certificate of the cluster.
• The configs properties file.
• The keyset.json encryption key.
• An encrypted access token of the service account that is used to deploy to the environment.

Environment specific information is available during resource generation via the following methods of the ResourceGenerationContext:

• environmentFileText pass in a relative path to the environment sub-directory.
• environmentFileBytes pass in a relative path to the environment sub-directory.
• environmentConfig pass in a key available in the configs properties file.

Environment Specific Tasks

After initializing/creating an environment with the initEnvironment task KubeRig provides a number of tasks to execution actions specifically for the environment.

Deploy Task

There is a deploy task for every environment.

This task will directly communicate with the Kubernetes API to create/update the resources that you have defined using the KubeRig DSL.

Generate Yaml task

In case you need it or feel nostalgic there is a generateYaml task for every environment.

The files are generated inside the build/generated-yaml directory. For each environment you will find a subdirectory there containing the generated yaml files.

Encryption tasks

Various tasks to encrypt/decrypt files an configuration parameters. More information about those can be found on the encryption support page.
