Sometimes when you run oc explain you get a message in DESCRIPTION that this particular version is deprecated, e.g. you are running oc explain deployment and get
DESCRIPTION:
DEPRECATED - This group version of Deployment is deprecated by
apps/v1/Deployment. See the release notes for more information. Deployment
enables declarative updates for Pods and ReplicaSets.
Note the DEPRECTATED message above
if you want to see the documentation for the object that has not been deprecated you can use
oc explain deployment --api-version=apps/v1
Magic with oc set
oc set is actually a very versatile command. Studying oc set -h is a good idea, here are some examples
Set route weights when alternateBackends in a route are defined
oc set route-backends bluegreen blue=1 green=9
Set resources on the command line
oc set resources dc cakephp-mysql-example --limits=memory=1Gi,cpu=200m
This is our second look into the Kubernetes Gateway API an it’s integration into OpenShift. This post covers TLS configuration.
The Kubernetes Gateway API is new implementation of the ingress, load balancing and service mesh API’s. See upstream for more information.
Also the OpenShift documentation provides an overview of the Gateway API and it’s integration.
We demonstrate how to add TLS to our Nginx deployment, how to implement a shared Gateway and finally how to implement HTTP to HTTPS redirection with the Gateway API. Furthermore we cover how HTTPRoute objects attach to Gateways and dive into ordering of HTTPRoute objects.
When working with Argo CD at scale, you often find yourself creating similar Application manifests repeatedly. Each application needs the same basic structure but with different configurations for source repositories, destinations, and sync policies. Additionally, managing namespace metadata becomes tricky when you need to conditionally control whether Argo CD should manage namespace metadata based on sync options.
In this article, I’ll walk you through a reusable Helm template that solves these challenges by providing a flexible, DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) approach to creating Argo CD Applications. This template is available in my public Helm Chart library and can easily be used by anyone.
One of the most commonly deployed operators in OpenShift environments is the Cert-Manager Operator. It automates the management of TLS certificates for applications running within the cluster, including their issuance and renewal.
The tool supports a variety of certificate issuers by default, including ACME, Vault, and self-signed certificates. Whenever a certificate is needed, Cert-Manager will automatically create a CertificateRequest resource that contains the details of the certificate. This resource is then processed by the appropriate issuer to generate the actual TLS certificate. The approval process in this case is usually fully automated, meaning that the certificate is issued without any manual intervention.
But what if you want to have more control? What if certificate issuance must follow strict organizational policies, such as requiring a specifc country code or organization name? This is where the CertificateRequestPolicy resource, a resource provided by the Approver Policy, comes into play.
This article walks through configuring the Cert-Manager Approver Policy in OpenShift to enforce granular policies on certificate requests.
The following 1-minute article is a follow-up to my previous article about how to use Keycloak as an authentication provider for OpenShift. In this article, I will show you how to configure Keycloak and OpenShift for Single Log Out (SLO). This means that when you log out from Keycloak, you will also be logged out from OpenShift automatically. This requires some additional configuration in Keycloak and OpenShift, but it is not too complicated.
