Hi Devs,
I have done the required change and PR can be found in [1]. It has now
merged with the master branch. With this change when you are adding a
cartridge which uses kubernetes Iaas, you need to provide another property
called kubernetesPortType under the portMapping section. Acceptable values
for this are NodePort and ClusterIP. Following is a sample for PortMapping.
{
"name": "http-80",
"protocol": "http",
"port": "50070",
"proxyPort": "8281",
"kubernetesPortType":"NodePort"
}
Please note that we generate access URLs only for NodePort type.
Thank you!
