Write Keptn Tasks
Keptn Task Definition
A KeptnTaskDefinition
is a CRD used to define tasks that can be run by the Keptn Lifecycle Toolkit
as part of pre- and post-deployment phases of a deployment. The task definition is a Deno script.
In the future, we also intend to support other runtimes, especially running a container image directly.
A task definition can be configured in three different ways:
- inline
- referring to an HTTP script
- referring to another
KeptnTaskDefinition
An inline task definition looks like the following:
apiVersion: lifecycle.keptn.sh/v1alpha2
kind: KeptnTaskDefinition
metadata:
name: deployment-hello
spec:
function:
inline:
code: |
console.log("Deployment Task has been executed");
In the code section, it is possible to define a full-fletched Deno script.
The runtime can also fetch the script on the fly from a remote webserver. For this, the CRD should look like the following:
apiVersion: lifecycle.keptn.sh/v1alpha2
kind: KeptnTaskDefinition
metadata:
name: hello-keptn-http
spec:
function:
httpRef:
url: <url>
Finally, KeptnTaskDefinition
can build on top of other KeptnTaskDefinition
s.
This is a common use case where a general function can be re-used in multiple places with different parameters.
apiVersion: lifecycle.keptn.sh/v1alpha2
kind: KeptnTaskDefinition
metadata:
name: slack-notification-dev
spec:
function:
functionRef:
name: slack-notification
parameters:
map:
textMessage: "This is my configuration"
secureParameters:
secret: slack-token
As you might have noticed, Task Definitions also have the possibility to use input parameters.
The Lifecycle Toolkit passes the values defined inside the map
field as a JSON object.
At the moment, multi-level maps are not supported.
The JSON object can be read through the environment variable DATA
using Deno.env.get("DATA");
.
Kubernetes secrets can also be passed to the function using the secureParameters
field.
Here, the secret
value is the K8s secret name that will be mounted into the runtime and made available to the function
via the environment variable SECURE_DATA
.
