ansible-sshkubectll

An Ansible connection plugin for remotely provisioning kubernetes containers.

This works by SSHing to the host capable of accessing the kubernetes API (typically a cluster member) using the standard Ansible SSH connection, using it for storing temporary files, and controlling the target container from there via kubectl.

This is a merge of two connection plugins:

• ansible-sshjail
• kubectl from kubernetes-core

Requirements

Control node (your workstation or deployment server):

• Ansible 2.16+
• Python 3

kubectl host:

• accessible by SSH
• kubectl binary installed
• Python 3

Target container:

• Python 3

Installation

This is a "Connection Type Plugin", as outlined in the Ansible docs.

To install sshjail:

1. Clone this repo.
2. Copy or link sshkubectl.py to one of the supported locations:

• /usr/share/ansible/plugins/connection_plugins/sshkubectl.py
• path/to/your/toplevelplaybook/connection_plugins/sshkubectl.py

Usage

TBD
