kubernetes.core.k8s_service – Manage Services on Kubernetes

Note

This plugin is part of the kubernetes.core collection (version 1.1.1).

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install kubernetes.core.

To use it in a playbook, specify: kubernetes.core.k8s_service.

Synopsis

  • Use Openshift Python SDK to manage Services on Kubernetes

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • python >= 2.7
  • openshift >= 0.6.2

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
api_key
string
Token used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_API_KEY environment variable.
apply
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
apply compares the desired resource definition with the previously supplied resource definition, ignoring properties that are automatically generated
apply works better with Services than 'force=yes'
mutually exclusive with merge_type
ca_cert
path
Path to a CA certificate used to authenticate with the API. The full certificate chain must be provided to avoid certificate validation errors. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_SSL_CA_CERT environment variable.

aliases: ssl_ca_cert
client_cert
path
Path to a certificate used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CERT_FILE environment variable.

aliases: cert_file
client_key
path
Path to a key file used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KEY_FILE environment variable.

aliases: key_file
context
string
The name of a context found in the config file. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CONTEXT environment variable.
force
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
If set to yes, and state is present, an existing object will be replaced.
host
string
Provide a URL for accessing the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_HOST environment variable.
kubeconfig
path
Path to an existing Kubernetes config file. If not provided, and no other connection options are provided, the openshift client will attempt to load the default configuration file from ~/.kube/config.json. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KUBECONFIG environment variable.
merge_type
list / elements=string
    Choices:
  • json
  • merge
  • strategic-merge
Whether to override the default patch merge approach with a specific type. By default, the strategic merge will typically be used.
For example, Custom Resource Definitions typically aren't updatable by the usual strategic merge. You may want to use merge if you see "strategic merge patch format is not supported"
Requires openshift >= 0.6.2
If more than one merge_type is given, the merge_types will be tried in order
If openshift >= 0.6.2, this defaults to ['strategic-merge', 'merge'], which is ideal for using the same parameters on resource kinds that combine Custom Resources and built-in resources. For openshift < 0.6.2, the default is simply strategic-merge.
name
string / required
Use to specify a Service object name.
namespace
string / required
Use to specify a Service object namespace.
password
string
Provide a password for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PASSWORD environment variable.
Please read the description of the username option for a discussion of when this option is applicable.
persist_config
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Whether or not to save the kube config refresh tokens. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PERSIST_CONFIG environment variable.
When the k8s context is using a user credentials with refresh tokens (like oidc or gke/gcloud auth), the token is refreshed by the k8s python client library but not saved by default. So the old refresh token can expire and the next auth might fail. Setting this flag to true will tell the k8s python client to save the new refresh token to the kube config file.
Default to false.
Please note that the current version of the k8s python client library does not support setting this flag to True yet.
The fix for this k8s python library is here: https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python-base/pull/169
ports
list / elements=dictionary
A list of ports to expose.
proxy
string
The URL of an HTTP proxy to use for the connection. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY environment variable.
Please note that this module does not pick up typical proxy settings from the environment (e.g. HTTP_PROXY).
resource_definition
string
Provide a valid YAML definition (either as a string, list, or dict) for an object when creating or updating.
NOTE: kind, api_version, name, and namespace will be overwritten by corresponding values found in the provided resource_definition.

aliases: definition, inline
selector
dictionary
Label selectors identify objects this Service should apply to.
src
path
Provide a path to a file containing a valid YAML definition of an object or objects to be created or updated. Mutually exclusive with resource_definition. NOTE: kind, api_version, name, and namespace will be overwritten by corresponding values found in the configuration read in from the src file.
Reads from the local file system. To read from the Ansible controller's file system, including vaulted files, use the file lookup plugin or template lookup plugin, combined with the from_yaml filter, and pass the result to resource_definition. See Examples below.
Mutually exclusive with template in case of k8s module.
state
string
    Choices:
  • absent
  • present ←
Determines if an object should be created, patched, or deleted. When set to present, an object will be created, if it does not already exist. If set to absent, an existing object will be deleted. If set to present, an existing object will be patched, if its attributes differ from those specified using resource_definition or src.
type
string
    Choices:
  • NodePort
  • ClusterIP
  • LoadBalancer
  • ExternalName
Specifies the type of Service to create.
username
string
Provide a username for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_USERNAME environment variable.
Please note that this only works with clusters configured to use HTTP Basic Auth. If your cluster has a different form of authentication (e.g. OAuth2 in OpenShift), this option will not work as expected and you should look into the k8s_auth module, as that might do what you need.
validate_certs
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Whether or not to verify the API server's SSL certificates. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_VERIFY_SSL environment variable.

aliases: verify_ssl

Notes

Note

  • The OpenShift Python client wraps the K8s Python client, providing full access to all of the APIS and models available on both platforms. For API version details and additional information visit https://github.com/openshift/openshift-restclient-python
  • To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when validate_certs is True, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ca_cert or in the kubeconfig file.

Examples

- name: Expose https port with ClusterIP
  kubernetes.core.k8s_service:
    state: present
    name: test-https
    namespace: default
    ports:
    - port: 443
      protocol: TCP
    selector:
      key: special

- name: Expose https port with ClusterIP using spec
  kubernetes.core.k8s_service:
    state: present
    name: test-https
    namespace: default
    inline:
      spec:
        ports:
        - port: 443
          protocol: TCP
        selector:
          key: special
