Kubernetes Integration

The Kubernetes Integration is used to connect JFrog Pipelines platform to self-hosted Kubernetes clusters so that you can deploy Docker based applications.

A Kubernetes integration can be used for these purposes:

• To deploy builds to nodes in Kubernetes clusters from pipelines using a HelmChart resource with the HelmDeploy step.
• To enable Pipelines to create and destroy build nodes in Kubernetes clusters on demand through a dynamic node pool.

Creating an Integration

To use Kubernetes for deploying builds from a pipeline, add this integration through  Application | Pipelines | Integrations, as instructed in Managing Pipelines Integrations.

To use Kubernetes for a dynamic node pool, add this integration through  Administration | Pipelines | Integrations, as instructed in Configuring Pipelines.

Here is the information you need to create this integration:

• Name -- choose a friendly name for the integration

• Kube Config -- configuration YAML to access Kubernetes cluster

  The Kube Config file should include the following permissions:

  • Create/scale/destroy Deployments
  • Create/delete PVCs
  • Create/delete Secrets
  • Create/delete ConfigMaps
    Note that ConfigMaps is required only when user is using the insecure docker registries feature.
