# octant

## Description

**DEPRECATED:** This plugin will be removed in a future version.

Adds [Octant](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/octant) to the Garden dashboard, as well as a `garden tools octant` command.

Below is the full schema reference for the provider configuration. For an introduction to configuring a Garden project with providers, please look at our [configuration guide](https://docs.garden.io/bonsai-0.13/using-garden/configuration-overview).

The reference is divided into two sections. The [first section](#complete-yaml-schema) contains the complete YAML schema, and the [second section](#configuration-keys) describes each schema key.

## Complete YAML Schema

The values in the schema below are the default values.

```yaml
providers:
  - # The name of the provider plugin to use.
    name:

    # List other providers that should be resolved before this one.
    dependencies: []

    # If specified, this provider will only be used in the listed environments. Note that an empty array effectively
    # disables the provider. To use a provider in all environments, omit this field.
    environments:
```
