| 6 | + Specify one or more substitutions to make at apply time using dependencies as input. |
| 7 | +--- |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +The `config.kubernetes.io/apply-time-mutation` annotation specifies one or more |
| 10 | +substitutions to make at apply time using dependencies as input. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +### Schema |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +The annotation value accepts a list of substitutions, formatted as a YAML string. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +- (\[\][Substitution]), required |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | + A list of one or more substitutions to perform on the annotated object. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +#### Substitution |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +A substitution is a modification to a specific target field. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +- **sourceRef**: ([ObjectReference]), required |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + Reference to the source resource, the dependency for this substitution. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +- **sourcePath**: (string), required |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | + The source resource field to read from as input, specified with [JSONPath]. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +- **targetPath**: (string), required |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + The target resource field to write to as output, specified with [JSONPath]. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +- **token**: (string) |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + The substring to replace in the target resource field. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + If the token is unspecified, the whole target field value will be replaced, |
| 41 | + allowing for replacement of non-string values using the source field type. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +#### ObjectReference |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +A reference to a specific resource object. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +- **apiVersion**: (string) |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + The group and version of the object resource. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + One of the following is required: apiVersion or group. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +- **group**: (string) |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + The group of the object resource. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | + Group is accepted as a version-less alternative to APIVersion. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + Group must be empty for resources in the "core" group. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | + One of the following is required: apiVersion or group. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +- **kind**: (string), required |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | + The kind of the object resource. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +- **name**: (string), required |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | + The name of the object. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +- **namespace**: (string) |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | + The namespace of the object. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | + Namespace is required for namespaced resources. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +### Behavior |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +Like the `depends-on` feature, `apply-time-mutation` waits for dependencies |
| 80 | +(source resources) to be applied and reconciled before applying the resource |
| 81 | +with the annotation. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +Unlike the `depends-on` feature, `apply-time-mutation` modifies the annotated |
| 84 | +resource before applying it. |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +#### Special cases |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +If the source resource is not part of the package being applied, the apply of |
| 89 | +the target resource will fail with an error. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +The `apply-time-mutation` annotation is only enforced by `kpt live apply` and |
| 92 | +`kpt live destroy`. Modifying or deleting these resources with other mechanisms |
| 93 | +will not follow the rules specified by these annotations. |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +### JSONPath syntax |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +Since there is no formal specification for JSONPath, the supported syntax |
| 98 | +depends on the chosen implimentation. In this case, kpt uses the |
| 99 | +[ajson](https://github.com/spyzhov/ajson) library. For details about what |
| 100 | +language features are supported, see the |
| 101 | +[json-path-comparison table](https://cburgmer.github.io/json-path-comparison/). |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +### Example |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +In this example, pod-b depends on pod-a with two substitutions that replace |
| 106 | +tokens in the same target field. The value of the SERVICE_HOST environment |
| 107 | +variable of a container in pod-b will be updated to represent the host and port |
| 108 | +from pod-a. |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +Create a new kpt package: |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +```shell |
| 113 | +mkdir my-pkg |
| 114 | +cd my-pkg |
| 115 | +kpt pkg init |
| 116 | +``` |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +Configure two pods, with one that depends on the other: |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +```shell |
| 121 | +cat > pods.yaml << EOF |
| 122 | +kind: Pod |
| 123 | +apiVersion: v1 |
| 124 | +metadata: |
| 125 | + name: pod-a |
| 126 | + namespace: test |
| 127 | +spec: |
| 128 | + containers: |
| 129 | + - name: nginx |
| 130 | + image: nginx:1.21 |
| 131 | + ports: |
| 132 | + - name: tcp |
| 133 | + containerPort: 80 |
| 134 | +--- |
| 135 | +apiVersion: v1 |
| 136 | +kind: Pod |
| 137 | +metadata: |
| 138 | + name: pod-b |
| 139 | + namespace: test |
| 140 | + annotations: |
| 141 | + config.kubernetes.io/apply-time-mutation: | |
| 142 | + - sourceRef: |
| 143 | + kind: Pod |
| 144 | + name: pod-a |
| 145 | + sourcePath: $.status.podIP |
| 146 | + targetPath: $.spec.containers[?(@.name=="nginx")].env[?(@.name=="SERVICE_HOST")].value |
| 147 | + token: ${pod-a-ip} |
| 148 | + - sourceRef: |
| 149 | + kind: Pod |
| 150 | + name: pod-a |
| 151 | + sourcePath: $.spec.containers[?(@.name=="nginx")].ports[?(@.name=="tcp")].containerPort |
| 152 | + targetPath: $.spec.containers[?(@.name=="nginx")].env[?(@.name=="SERVICE_HOST")].value |
| 153 | + token: ${pod-a-port} |
| 154 | +spec: |
| 155 | + containers: |
| 156 | + - name: nginx |
| 157 | + image: nginx:1.21 |
| 158 | + ports: |
| 159 | + - name: tcp |
| 160 | + containerPort: 80 |
| 161 | + env: |
| 162 | + - name: SERVICE_HOST |
| 163 | + value: "${pod-a-ip}:${pod-a-port}" |
| 164 | +EOF |
| 165 | +``` |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +Create a namespace for your package: |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +```shell |
| 170 | +kubectl create namespace test |
| 171 | +``` |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +Initialize the package inventory: |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +```shell |
| 176 | +kpt live init |
| 177 | +``` |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +Apply the package to your Kubernetes cluster: |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +```shell |
| 182 | +kpt live apply |
| 183 | +``` |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +If all goes well, the output should look like this: |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +``` |
| 188 | +pod/pod-a created |
| 189 | +1 resource(s) applied. 1 created, 0 unchanged, 0 configured, 0 failed |
| 190 | +pod/pod-b created |
| 191 | +1 resource(s) applied. 1 created, 0 unchanged, 0 configured, 0 failed |
| 192 | +``` |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +To verify that the SERVICE_HOST was mutated correctly: |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +```shell |
| 197 | +# Read the IP of pod-a |
| 198 | +kubectl get pod pod-a -n test \ |
| 199 | + -o jsonpath='{.status.podIP}' |
| 200 | +``` |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +```shell |
| 203 | +# Read the SERVICE_HOST of pod-b |
| 204 | +kubectl get pod pod-b -n test \ |
| 205 | + -o jsonpath='{.spec.containers[?(@.name=="nginx")].env[?(@.name=="SERVICE_HOST")].value}' |
| 206 | +``` |
| 207 | + |
| 208 | +Delete the package from your Kubernetes cluster: |
| 209 | + |
| 210 | +```shell |
| 211 | +kpt live destroy |
| 212 | +``` |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +If all goes well, the output should look like this: |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +``` |
| 217 | +pod/pod-b deleted |
| 218 | +1 resource(s) deleted, 0 skipped |
| 219 | +pod/pod-a deleted |
| 220 | +1 resource(s) deleted, 0 skipped |
| 221 | +``` |
