The Kubernetes Integration is used to connect JFrog Pipelines platform to self-hosted Kubernetes clusters so that you can deploy Docker based applications.
A Kubernetes integration can be used for these purposes:
To deploy builds to nodes in Kubernetes clusters from pipelines using a HelmChart resource with the HelmDeploy step.
To enable Pipelines to create and destroy build nodes in Kubernetes clusters on demand through a dynamic node pool.
Creating an Integration
Kubernetes Integration can be added as:
A Pipeline integration, to use Kubernetes for deploying builds from a pipeline
An Admin integration, to use Kubernetes for a dynamic node pool
For more information, see Adding an Integration.
Here is the information you need to create this integration:
Name -- choose a friendly name for the integration
Kube Config -- configuration YAML to access Kubernetes cluster
Note
The Kube Config file should include the following permissions:
Create/scale/destroy Deployments
Create/delete PVCs
Create/delete Secrets
Create/delete ConfigMaps
Note that ConfigMaps is required only when user is using the insecure docker registries feature.
Usage
The Kubernetes integration can also be added directly to a step in the integrations section. This automatically configures the kubectl command line interface with access to the Kubernetes cluster.
