ks param

Manage ksonnet parameters for components and environments

Synopsis

Parameters are customizable fields that are used inside ksonnet component
manifests. Examples might include a deployment’s ‘name’ or ‘image’. Parameters
can also be defined on a per-environment basis. (Environments are ksonnet
deployment targets, e.g. specific clusters. For more info, run ks env --help.)

For example, this allows a dev and prod environment to use the same component
manifest for an nginx deployment, but customize prod to use more replicas to meet
heavier load demands.

Params are structured as follows:

• App params (stored in components/params.libsonnet)

  • Component-specific params
    • Originally populated from ks generate
    • e.g. 80 for deployment-example.port
  • Global params
    • Out of scope for CLI (requires Jsonnet editing)
    • Use to make a variable accessible to multiple components (e.g. service name)

• Per-environment params (stored in + environments/<env-name>/params.libsonnet)

  • Component-specific params ONLY
  • Override app params (~inheritance)

Note that all of these params are tracked locally in version-controllable
Jsonnet files.

Options

  -h, --help   help for param
