An example of creating a deployment using the k8s model architecture can be
found here:
https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/blob/master/examples/deployment_examples.py
def create_deployment_object():
# Configureate Pod template container
container = client.V1Container(
name="nginx",
image="nginx:1.7.9",
ports=[client.V1ContainerPort(container_port=80)])
# Create and configurate a spec section
template = client.V1PodTemplateSpec(
metadata=client.V1ObjectMeta(labels={"app": "nginx"}),
spec=client.V1PodSpec(containers=[container]))
# Create the specification of deployment
spec = client.ExtensionsV1beta1DeploymentSpec(
replicas=3,
template=template)
# Instantiate the deployment object
deployment = client.ExtensionsV1beta1Deployment(
api_version="extensions/v1beta1",
kind="Deployment",
metadata=client.V1ObjectMeta(name=DEPLOYMENT_NAME),
spec=spec)
return deployment
This would involve a more k8s knowledge from the user, but would have the
massive benefit that we would not have to maintain new features as the k8s
API updates (Would simply update version). A user would have to supply is a
deployment object and possibly a "success criteria" (i.e. an endpoint to
test).
Conversely, we could make the API a bit easier by only requiring a spec and
an optional metadata, after which we would handle a lot of the boilerplate.
