Git Deployment

EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE

Overview​

With Git deployments, the generated configuration is uploaded to the specified git repository without performing any further steps. This can be used to integrate nevisAdmin 4 with GitOps continuous delivery tools.

Configuration​

Add the following property to the inventory to enable Git deployment.

manifestTarget: Git

If enabled, the kubernetes.url and kubernetes.token property is not required, but it's still recommended as it's necessary for the Kubernetes Status screen to work.

Restrictions and Limitations​

  • Git deployment is only possible for Kubernetes deployments.
  • Only Kubernetes secret references are supported in the inventory.
  • Side-by-side deployment feature is not supported.
  • Delete deployment feature is not supported.

ArgoCD​

ArgoCD can be used together with Git deployment to handle the actual deployment of the Kubernetes manifest to the cluster.

The Kubernetes manifests are generated to the */etc/nevis directories and are named k8s*.yaml. The following ArgoCD application can be used as an example that deploys these to the cluster:

project: argotest
source:
  repoURL: 'https://mygitrepo.com/argotest/kubernetes.git'
  path: .
  targetRevision: HEAD
  directory:
    recurse: true
    jsonnet: {}
    include: '*/etc/nevis/k8s*.yaml'
destination:
  server: 'https://kubernetes.default.svc'
  namespace: argotest
syncPolicy:
  syncOptions:
    - PrunePropagationPolicy=background
