Welcome to the Cloud 66 Changelog. Please take a quick look at the latest changes that have gone out this week!
Direct Kubernetes Cluster Access
Advanced Kubernetes users with Maestro stacks can now download their Kubernetes kubeconfig file and use this with kubectl to access the Kubernetes API directly!
Getting Started
A quick start to get you connected:
1. Open the firewall from your location to your master server on port 6443
2. Download the kubeconfig file from your stacks master server page
3. Access you cluster!
$ export KUBECONFIG=/file/path
$ kubectl get nodes
Warning
The kubeconfig file is for advanced usage. It provides direct access to your Kubernetes cluster when you have opened your firewall. If you need to download this file, you should keep it in a secure place! And always only open your firewall judiciously!
Enjoy!
Custom Habitus Parameters
This release adds a new attributue to service.yml to let you pass in extra optional and custom parameters to Habitus. For example, if you need to pass in any build arguments to your Habitus builds, you can now do so by using habitus_params in your service.yml.
An exmple could be habitus_params: "--build FOO=foo --build BAR=_env(BAR).
