Vincent Ambo 11cfc80020 feat context: Support resource set default values
This adds functionality to specify default values directly in resource sets.

The idea is that users can create a file called `values.yaml` or `values.json`
in a resource set's folder and have all variables specified in that file be
automatically merged into the resource set variables with the lowest priority.

This fixes #25
This fixes #30 (to a degree)

KonTemplate - A simple Kubernetes templater

Build Status

I made this tool out of frustration with the available ways to template Kubernetes resource files. All I want out of such a tool is a way to specify lots of resources with placeholders that get filled in with specific values, based on which context (i.e. k8s cluster) is specified.

Overview

KonTemplate lets you describe resources as you normally would in a simple folder structure:

.
├── prod-cluster.yaml
└── some-api
    ├── deployment.yaml
    └── service.yaml

This example has all resources belonging to some-api (no file naming conventions enforced at all!) in the some-api folder and the configuration for the cluster prod-cluster in the corresponding file.

Lets take a short look at prod-cluster.yaml:

---
context: k8s.prod.mydomain.com
global:
  globalVar: lizards
include:
  - name: some-api
    values:
      version: 1.0-0e6884d
      importantFeature: true
      apiPort: 4567

Those values are then templated into the resource files of some-api.

Installation

Assuming you have Go configured correctly, you can simply go get github.com/tazjin/kontemplate/....

Usage

You must have kubectl installed to use KonTemplate effectively.

NAME:
   kontemplate - simple Kubernetes resource templating

USAGE:
   kontemplate [global options] command [command options] [arguments...]

VERSION:
   0.0.1

COMMANDS:
     template  Interpolate and print templates
     apply     Interpolate templates and run 'kubectl apply'
     replace   Interpolate templates and run 'kubectl replace'
     delete    Interpolate templates and run 'kubectl delete'
     help, h   Shows a list of commands or help for one command

GLOBAL OPTIONS:
   --help, -h     show help
   --version, -v  print the version

All options support the same set of extra flags:

OPTIONS:
   --file value, -f value     Cluster configuration file to use
   --include value, -i value  Limit templating to explicitly included resource sets
   --exclude value, -e value  Exclude certain resource sets from templating

Examples:

# Look at output for a specific resource set and check to see if it's correct ...
kontemplate template -f example/prod-cluster.yaml -i some-api

# ... maybe do a dry-run to see what kubectl would do:
kontemplate apply -f example/prod-cluster.yaml --dry-run

# And actually apply it if you like what you see:
kontemplate apply -f example/prod-cluster.yaml
