Version Control for Definitions

When an OAM definition is updated, KubeVela will automatically generate a new revision of this definition.

To list the revisions of the webservice Component, run:

  1. $ vela def get webservice --revisions
  2. NAME        REVISION    TYPE        HASH            
  3. webservice  1           Component   dfa072dac5088ed8
  4. webservice  2           Component   519e11eb7cbe9cdd

To list the revisions of the affinity Trait, run:

  1. $ vela def get affinity --revisions  
  2. NAME            REVISION        TYPE    HASH            
  3. affinity        1               Trait   9db54dd8d5314bd5
  4. affinity        2               Trait   8bf3e82a6884db2c

To list the revisions of the override Policy, run:

  1. $ vela def get override --revisions
  2. NAME            REVISION        TYPE    HASH
  3. override        1               Policy  f6f87a5eb2271b8a

Note: there is only one revision of a definition if the definition has never been updated

To list the revisions of the deploy WorkflowStep, run:

  1. $ vela def get deploy --revisions
  2. NAME    REVISION        TYPE            HASH
  3. deploy  1               WorkflowStep    2ea741dae457850b

Users can specify the revision of a definition they would like to use by specifying definition types in the form <definition-name>@<definition-revision>.

For example, if a user wanted to use the v3 revision of webservice Component, they would use webservice@v3 as the type in their component specification.

  1. apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
  2. kind: Application
  3. metadata:
  4.   name: myapp
  5. spec:
  6.   components:
  7.   - name: express-server
  8.     type: webservice@v3
  9.     properties:
  10.       image: stefanprodan/podinfo:4.0.3

This ensures that if an administrator of your KubeVela instance modifies the webservice definition, your application will not be affected.

If no revision is specified for a definition, KubeVela will use the latest revision available at evaluation time. This will usually be the next time you upgrade your application.

Cluster administrators can create admission webhooks that will set a definition revision if the field is not set
