`juju add-k8s`¶

See also: remove-k8s

Summary¶

Adds a k8s endpoint and credential to Juju.

Usage¶

juju add-k8s [options] <k8s name>

Options¶

Flag	Default	Usage
`-B`, `--no-browser-login`	false	Do not use web browser for authentication
`-c`, `--controller`		Controller to operate in
`--client`	false	Client operation
`--cloud`		k8s cluster cloud
`--cluster-name`		Specify the k8s cluster to import
`--context-name`		Specify the k8s context to import
`--credential`		the credential to use when accessing the cluster
`--region`		k8s cluster region or cloud/region
`--skip-storage`	false	used when adding a cluster that doesn’t have storage
`--storage`		k8s storage class for workload storage

Examples¶

When your kubeconfig file is in the default location:

juju add-k8s myk8scloud
juju add-k8s myk8scloud --client
juju add-k8s myk8scloud --controller mycontroller
juju add-k8s --context-name mycontext myk8scloud
juju add-k8s myk8scloud --region cloudNameOrCloudType/someregion
juju add-k8s myk8scloud --cloud cloudNameOrCloudType
juju add-k8s myk8scloud --cloud cloudNameOrCloudType --region=someregion
juju add-k8s myk8scloud --cloud cloudNameOrCloudType --storage mystorageclass

To add a Kubernetes cloud using data from your kubeconfig file, when this file is not in the default location:

KUBECONFIG=path-to-kubeconfig-file juju add-k8s myk8scloud --cluster-name=my_cluster_name

To add a Kubernetes cloud using data from kubectl, when your kubeconfig file is not in the default location:

kubectl config view --raw | juju add-k8s myk8scloud --cluster-name=my_cluster_name

Details¶

Creates a user-defined cloud based on a k8s cluster.

The new k8s cloud can then be used to bootstrap into, or it can be added to an existing controller.

Use –controller option to add k8s cloud to a controller. Use –client option to add k8s cloud to this client.

Specify a non default kubeconfig file location using $KUBECONFIG environment variable or pipe in file content from stdin.

The config file can contain definitions for different k8s clusters, use –cluster-name to pick which one to use. It’s also possible to select a context by name using –context-name.

When running add-k8s the underlying cloud/region hosting the cluster needs to be detected to enable storage to be correctly configured. If the cloud/region cannot be detected automatically, use either –cloud <cloudType|cloudName> to specify the host cloud or –region <cloudType|cloudName>/<someregion> to specify the host cloud type and region.

Region is strictly necessary only when adding a k8s cluster to a JAAS controller. When using a standalone Juju controller, usually just –cloud is required.

Once Juju is aware of the underlying cloud type, it looks for a suitably configured storage class to provide operator and workload storage. If none is found, use of the –storage option is required so that Juju will create a storage class with the specified name.

If the cluster does not have a storage provisioning capability, use the –skip-storage option to add the cluster without any workload storage configured.
