Kubernetes Object

Kubernetes Object artifacts are running, deployed Kubernetes manifests. This is in contrast to something like a GitHub file that only contains the specification of a deployable Kubernetes manifest.

Kubernetes object artifact in the UI

The pipeline UI exposes the following fields for the Kubernetes object artifact:

Field	Explanation
Account	An HTTP artifact account.
URL	The fully-qualified URL from which the file can be read.

Kubernetes object artifact in a pipeline definition

The following are the fields that make up a Kubernetes object artifact:

Field	Explanation
`type`	`kubernetes/<kind>`, where `<kind>` is the Kubernetes Kind (such as `Deployment`).
`reference`	The name of the object.
`name`	The name of the object.
`version`	The version of the object. Only set if the resource was deployed with a version (for example, a `ConfigMap` deployed at version `-v120`).
`location`	The namespace of the object.
`artifactAccount`	The Spinnaker account (Kubernetes context) to which the object was deployed.

The following is an example JSON representation of a Kubernetes object artifact, as it would appear in a pipeline definition:

{
  "type": "kubernetes/deployment",
  "reference": "frontend",
  "name": "frontend",
  "namespace": "staging",
  "artifactAccount": "gke-us-central1-xnat"
}
