Python OpenShift Runner

OpenShift is a Kubernetes distribution from Red Hat which provides oc, the OpenShift CLI that complements kubectl for simplifying deployment and configuration applications on OpenShift. The following task can be used to interact with the openshift cluster via oc commands in a python script.

The set of possible scripts can be found in the docs here.

Pre-requisites

1. Need to have an OpenShift cluster up and running.
2. config file of the cluster needs to be mounted via the Secrets to the default location ~/.kube/ in order to obtain the cluster details.

Install the Task

kubectl apply -f https://api.hub.tekton.dev/v1/resource/tekton/task/openshift-client-python/0.1/raw

Parameters

• SCRIPT: The python script which you want to run in the task. Default script would be :-

#!/usr/bin/python

import openshift as oc
print('OpenShift client version: {}'.format(oc.get_client_version()))
print('OpenShift server version: {}'.format(oc.get_server_version()))

Workspaces

• kubeconfig-mount: The following workspace is used to mount the config file of the kubeconfig from the Secrets.

The Secrets can be created by

oc create secret generic kubeconfig --from-file=config

            # Fields that do not resolve will always return oc.Missing which 
            # is a singleton and can also be treated as an empty dict.

              # elements of a Model are also instances of Model or ListModel

                print('  pod owned by a {}'.format(owner.kind))  # e.g. pod was created by a StatefulSet
