1 - Custom image

1.1 - Introduction

The custom-image plugins enables the deployment of a custom image to be executed as Task. This is extremely useful to run custom logic and software in the resiliency patterns.

The Pod is deployed in the Kubernetes namespace where the Task has been created.

1.3 - Samples

This is a list of samples of what can be perfomed as Task with the custom-image plugin.

Bash command

Run a bash command:

apiVersion: automation.astronetes.io/v1alpha1
kind: Task
metadata:
  name: hello-world
spec:
  plugin: custom-image
  config:
    image: busybox
    command:
      - echo
      - "hello world"

Kubectl command

Execute a kubectl command:

apiVersion: automation.astronetes.io/v1alpha1
kind: Task
metadata:
  name: kubectl
spec:
  plugin: custom-image
  config:
    image: bitnami/kubectl:1.27
    command:
      - kubectl
      - cluster-info
    clusterRole: cluster-admin

2 - Kubernetes object transformation

2.1 - Introduction

The custom-image plugins enables the deployment of a custom image to be executed as Task. This is extremely useful to run custom logic and software in the resiliency patterns.

2.2 - Configuration

3 - Run synchronization

3.1 - Introduction

This plugins allows the creation of new Synchronization objects on demands, using a custom template.

Use cases

Disaster Recovery

Create a Synchronization process to restore data after a disaster occurs

Computing offloading

Explaind the platform offloading the applications in another cloud provider.

3.2 - Configuration

Introduction

The Task can be configured with some specific parameters using the .spec.config attribute.

Required

Plugin

The .spec.plugin reference to the plugin to be used by the Task. This value must be set to run-synchronization.

Example:

apiVersion: automation.astronetes.io/v1alpha1
kind: Task
metadata:
  name: example
spec:
  plugin: run-synchronization
  ...

Synchronization spec

Configure the synchronization spec according to the plugin to be used by the synchronization.

Example:

apiVersion: automation.astronetes.io/v1alpha1
kind: Task
metadata:
  name: set-replica-to-1
spec:
  plugin: run-synchronization
  config:
    template:
      spec:
        plugin: kubernetes-to-kubernetes
        config:
          sourceName: ...
          destinationName: ...
          ...

Optional

Synchronization annotations

The annotations for the Synchronization object can be configured using the .spec.config.template.metadata.annotations field.

Example:

apiVersion: automation.astronetes.io/v1alpha1
kind: Task
metadata:
  name: set-replica-to-1
spec:
  plugin: run-synchronization
  config:
    template:
      metadata:
        annotations:
          env: dev
      spec:
        plugin: kuberentes-to-kubernetes
        config:
          sourceName: ...
          destinationName: ...
          ...

Synchronization labels

The labels for the Synchronization object can be configured using the .spec.config.template.metadata.labels field.

Example:

apiVersion: automation.astronetes.io/v1alpha1
kind: Task
metadata:
  name: set-replica-to-1
spec:
  plugin: run-synchronization
  config:
    template:
      metadata:
        labels:
          env: dev
      spec:
        plugin: kuberentes-to-kubernetes
        config:
          sourceName: ...
          destinationName: ...
          ...
