kubernetes

Description

The kubernetes provider allows you to deploy container actions to Kubernetes clusters, and adds the helm and kubernetes action types.

For usage information, please refer to the guides section. A good place to start is the Remote Kubernetes guide guide if you're connecting to remote clusters. The Quickstart guide guide is also helpful as an introduction.

Note that if you're using a local Kubernetes cluster (e.g. minikube or Docker Desktop), the local-kubernetes provider simplifies (and automates) the configuration and setup quite a bit.

Please note that Garden is committed to supporting the latest officially supported versions. The information on the Kubernetes support and EOL timelines can be found here.

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.

The reference is divided into two sections. The first section contains the complete YAML schema, and the second section describes each schema key.

Complete YAML Schema

The values in the schema below are the default values.

providers:
  - # 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:

    # The container registry domain that should be used for pulling Garden utility images (such as the
    # image used in the Kubernetes sync utility Pod).
    #
    # If you have your own Docker Hub registry mirror, you can set the domain here and the utility images
    # will be pulled from there. This can be useful to e.g. avoid Docker Hub rate limiting.
    #
    # Otherwise the utility images are pulled directly from Docker Hub by default.
    utilImageRegistryDomain: docker.io

    # Choose the mechanism for building container images before deploying. By default your local Docker daemon is
    # used, but you can set it to `cluster-buildkit` or `kaniko` to sync files to the cluster, and build container
    # images there. This removes the need to run Docker locally, and allows you to share layer and image caches
    # between multiple developers, as well as between your development and CI workflows.
    #
    # For more details on all the different options and what makes sense to use for your setup, please check out the
    # [in-cluster building guide](https://docs.garden.io/kubernetes-plugins/guides/in-cluster-building).
    buildMode: local-docker

    # Configuration options for the `cluster-buildkit` build mode.
    clusterBuildkit: {}
      # Use the `cache` configuration to customize the default cluster-buildkit cache behaviour.
      #
      # The default value is:
      # clusterBuildkit:
      #   cache:
      #     - type: registry
      #       mode: auto
      #
      # For every build, this will
      # - import cached layers from a docker image tag named `_buildcache`
      # - when the build is finished, upload cache information to `_buildcache`
      #
      # For registries that support it, `mode: auto` (the default) will enable the buildkit `mode=max`
      # option.
      #
      # See the following table for details on our detection mechanism:
      #
      # | Registry Name                   | Registry Domain                    | Assumed `mode=max` support |
      # |---------------------------------|------------------------------------|------------------------------|
      # | AWS Elastic Container Registry  | `dkr.ecr.<region>.amazonaws.com` | Yes (with `image-manifest=true`) |
      # | Google Cloud Artifact Registry  | `pkg.dev`                        | Yes                          |
      # | Azure Container Registry        | `azurecr.io`                     | Yes                          |
      # | GitHub Container Registry       | `ghcr.io`                        | Yes                          |
      # | DockerHub                       | `hub.docker.com`                 | Yes                          |
      # | Any other registry              |                                    | No                           |
      #
      # In case you need to override the defaults for your registry, you can do it like so:
      #
      # clusterBuildkit:
      #   cache:
      #     - type: registry
      #       mode: max
      #
      # When you add multiple caches, we will make sure to pass the `--import-cache` options to buildkit in the same
      # order as provided in the cache configuration. This is because buildkit will not actually use all imported
      # caches
      # for every build, but it will stick with the first cache that yields a cache hit for all the following layers.
      #
      # An example for this is the following:
      #
      # clusterBuildkit:
      #   cache:
      #     - type: registry
      #       tag: _buildcache-${slice(kebabCase(git.branch), "0", "30")}
      #     - type: registry
      #       tag: _buildcache-main
      #       export: false
      #
      # Using this cache configuration, every build will first look for a cache specific to your feature branch.
      # If it does not exist yet, it will import caches from the main branch builds (`_buildcache-main`).
      # When the build is finished, it will only export caches to your feature branch, and avoid polluting the `main`
      # branch caches.
      # A configuration like that may improve your cache hit rate and thus save time.
      #
      # If you need to disable caches completely you can achieve that with the following configuration:
      #
      # clusterBuildkit:
      #   cache: []
      cache:
        - # Use the Docker registry configured at `deploymentRegistry` to retrieve and store buildkit cache
          # information.
          #
          # See also the [buildkit registry cache
          # documentation](https://github.com/moby/buildkit#registry-push-image-and-cache-separately)

          #
          # If not specified, use the configured `deploymentRegistry` in your kubernetes provider config.
          #
          # Important: You must make sure `imagePullSecrets` includes authentication with the specified cache
          # registry, that has the appropriate write privileges (usually full write access to the configured
          # `namespace`).
          registry:
            # The hostname (and optionally port, if not the default port) of the registry.

            # <hostname>/<namespace>/<image name>
            namespace:

            # Set to true to allow insecure connections to the registry (without SSL).
            insecure: false

          # This is the buildkit cache mode to be used.
          #
          # The value `inline` ensures that garden is using the buildkit option `--export-cache inline`. Cache
          # information will be inlined and co-located with the Docker image itself.
          #
          # The values `min` and `max` ensure that garden passes the `mode=max` or `mode=min` modifiers to the
          # buildkit `--export-cache` option. Cache manifests will only be
          # stored stored in the configured `tag`.
          #
          # `auto` is the same as `max` for some registries that are known to support it. Garden will fall back to
          # `inline` for all other registries.

Configuration Keys

providers[]

Type	Default	Required
array[object]	[]	No

providers[].dependencies[]

providers > dependencies

List other providers that should be resolved before this one.

Type	Default	Required
array[string]	[]	No

Example:

providers:
  - dependencies:
      - exec

providers[].environments[]

providers > environments

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.

Type	Required
array[string]	No

Example:

providers:
  - environments:
      - dev
      - stage

providers[].utilImageRegistryDomain

providers > utilImageRegistryDomain

The container registry domain that should be used for pulling Garden utility images (such as the image used in the Kubernetes sync utility Pod).

If you have your own Docker Hub registry mirror, you can set the domain here and the utility images will be pulled from there. This can be useful to e.g. avoid Docker Hub rate limiting.

Otherwise the utility images are pulled directly from Docker Hub by default.

Type	Default	Required
string	"docker.io"	No

providers[].buildMode

providers > buildMode

Choose the mechanism for building container images before deploying. By default your local Docker daemon is used, but you can set it to cluster-buildkit or kaniko to sync files to the cluster, and build container images there. This removes the need to run Docker locally, and allows you to share layer and image caches between multiple developers, as well as between your development and CI workflows.

For more details on all the different options and what makes sense to use for your setup, please check out the in-cluster building guide.

Type	Allowed Values	Default	Required
string	"local-docker", "kaniko", "cluster-buildkit"	"local-docker"	Yes

providers[].clusterBuildkit

providers > clusterBuildkit

Configuration options for the cluster-buildkit build mode.

Type	Default	Required
object	{}	No

providers[].clusterBuildkit.cache[]

providers > clusterBuildkit > cache

Use the cache configuration to customize the default cluster-buildkit cache behaviour.

The default value is:

clusterBuildkit:
  cache:
    - type: registry
      mode: auto

For every build, this will

• import cached layers from a docker image tag named _buildcache

• when the build is finished, upload cache information to _buildcache

For registries that support it, mode: auto (the default) will enable the buildkit mode=max option.

See the following table for details on our detection mechanism:

Registry Name	Registry Domain	Assumed mode=max support
AWS Elastic Container Registry	dkr.ecr.<region>.amazonaws.com	Yes (with image-manifest=true)
Google Cloud Artifact Registry	pkg.dev	Yes
Azure Container Registry	azurecr.io	Yes
GitHub Container Registry	ghcr.io	Yes
DockerHub	hub.docker.com	Yes
Any other registry		No

In case you need to override the defaults for your registry, you can do it like so:

clusterBuildkit:
  cache:
    - type: registry
      mode: max

When you add multiple caches, we will make sure to pass the --import-cache options to buildkit in the same order as provided in the cache configuration. This is because buildkit will not actually use all imported caches for every build, but it will stick with the first cache that yields a cache hit for all the following layers.

An example for this is the following:

clusterBuildkit:
  cache:
    - type: registry
      tag: _buildcache-${slice(kebabCase(git.branch), "0", "30")}
    - type: registry
      tag: _buildcache-main
      export: false

Using this cache configuration, every build will first look for a cache specific to your feature branch. If it does not exist yet, it will import caches from the main branch builds (_buildcache-main). When the build is finished, it will only export caches to your feature branch, and avoid polluting the main branch caches. A configuration like that may improve your cache hit rate and thus save time.

If you need to disable caches completely you can achieve that with the following configuration:

clusterBuildkit:
  cache: []

Type	Default	Required
array[object]	[{"type":"registry","mode":"auto","tag":"_buildcache","export":true}]	No

providers[].clusterBuildkit.cache[].type

providers > clusterBuildkit > cache > type

Use the Docker registry configured at deploymentRegistry to retrieve and store buildkit cache information.

See also the buildkit registry cache documentation

Type	Allowed Values	Required
string	"registry"	Yes

providers[].clusterBuildkit.cache[].registry

providers > clusterBuildkit > cache > registry

The registry from which the cache should be imported from, or which it should be exported to.

If not specified, use the configured deploymentRegistry in your kubernetes provider config.

Important: You must make sure imagePullSecrets includes authentication with the specified cache registry, that has the appropriate write privileges (usually full write access to the configured namespace).

Type	Required
object	No

providers[].clusterBuildkit.cache[].registry.hostname

providers > clusterBuildkit > cache > registry > hostname

The hostname (and optionally port, if not the default port) of the registry.

providers[].clusterBuildkit.cache[].registry.insecure

providers > clusterBuildkit > cache > registry > insecure

Set to true to allow insecure connections to the registry (without SSL).

Type	Default	Required
boolean	false	No

providers[].clusterBuildkit.cache[].mode

providers > clusterBuildkit > cache > mode

This is the buildkit cache mode to be used.

The value inline ensures that garden is using the buildkit option --export-cache inline. Cache information will be inlined and co-located with the Docker image itself.

The values min and max ensure that garden passes the mode=max or mode=min modifiers to the buildkit --export-cache option. Cache manifests will only be stored stored in the configured tag.

auto is the same as max for some registries that are known to support it. Garden will fall back to inline for all other registries. See the clusterBuildkit cache option for a description of the detection mechanism.

See also the buildkit export cache documentation

Type	Allowed Values	Default	Required
string	"auto", "min", "max", "inline"	"auto"	Yes
