Usage

Creating a client

The easiest way to create a client is:

KubernetesClient client = new KubernetesClientBuilder().build();

DefaultOpenShiftClient implements both the KubernetesClient & OpenShiftClient interface so if you need the OpenShift extensions, such as Builds, etc then simply do:

OpenShiftClient osClient = new KubernetesClientBuilder().build().adapt(OpenShiftClient.class);

Configuring the client

This will use settings from different sources in the following order of priority:

  • System properties
  • Environment variables
  • Kube config file
  • Service account token & mounted CA certificate

System properties are preferred over environment variables. The following system properties & environment variables can be used for configuration:

Property / Environment Variable Description Default value
kubernetes.disable.autoConfig / KUBERNETES_DISABLE_AUTOCONFIG Disable automatic configuration (KubernetesClient would not look in ~/.kube/config, mounted ServiceAccount, environment variables or System properties for Kubernetes cluster information) false

Alternatively you can use the ConfigBuilder to create a config object for the Kubernetes client:

Config config = new ConfigBuilder().withMasterUrl("https://mymaster.com").build();
KubernetesClient client = new KubernetesClientBuilder().withConfig(config).build();

Using the DSL is the same for all resources.

List resources:

NamespaceList myNs = client.namespaces().list();

ServiceList myServices = client.services().list();

ServiceList myNsServices = client.services().inNamespace("default").list();

Get a resource:

Namespace myns = client.namespaces().withName("myns").get();

Service myservice = client.services().inNamespace("default").withName("myservice").get();

Delete:

Namespace myns = client.namespaces().withName("myns").delete();

Service myservice = client.services().inNamespace("default").withName("myservice").delete();

Editing resources uses the inline builders from the Kubernetes Model:

Namespace myns = client.namespaces().withName("myns").edit(n -> new NamespaceBuilder(n)
                   .editMetadata()
                     .addToLabels("a", "label")
                   .endMetadata()
                   .build());

Service myservice = client.services().inNamespace("default").withName("myservice").edit(s -> new ServiceBuilder(s)
                     .editMetadata()
                       .addToLabels("another", "label")
                     .endMetadata()
                     .build());

In the same spirit you can inline builders to create:

Namespace myns = client.namespaces().create(new NamespaceBuilder()
                   .withNewMetadata()
                     .withName("myns")
                     .addToLabels("a", "label")
                   .endMetadata()
                   .build());

Service myservice = client.services().inNamespace("default").create(new ServiceBuilder()
                     .withNewMetadata()
                       .withName("myservice")
                       .addToLabels("another", "label")
                     .endMetadata()
                     .build());

You can also set the apiVersion of the resource like in the case of SecurityContextConstraints :

SecurityContextConstraints scc = new SecurityContextConstraintsBuilder()
		.withApiVersion("v1")
		.withNewMetadata().withName("scc").endMetadata()
		.withAllowPrivilegedContainer(true)
		.withNewRunAsUser()
		.withType("RunAsAny")
		.endRunAsUser()
		.build();

Following events

Use io.fabric8.kubernetes.api.model.Event as T for Watcher:

client.events().inAnyNamespace().watch(new Watcher<Event>() {

  @Override
  public void eventReceived(Action action, Event resource) {
    System.out.println("event " + action.name() + " " + resource.toString());
  }

  @Override
  public void onClose(KubernetesClientException cause) {
    System.out.println("Watcher close due to " + cause);
  }

});

Working with extensions

The kubernetes API defines a bunch of extensions like daemonSets, jobs, ingresses and so forth which are all usable in the extensions() DSL:

e.g. to list the jobs...

jobs = client.batch().jobs().list();

Loading resources from external sources

There are cases where you want to read a resource from an external source, rather than defining it using the clients DSL. For those cases the client allows you to load the resource from:

  • A file (Supports both java.io.File and java.lang.String)
  • A url
  • An input stream

Once the resource is loaded, you can treat it as you would, had you created it yourself.

For example lets read a pod, from a yml file and work with it:

Pod refreshed = client.load('/path/to/a/pod.yml').fromServer().get();
client.load('/workspace/pod.yml').delete();
LogWatch handle = client.load('/workspace/pod.yml').watchLog(System.out);

Passing a reference of a resource to the client

In the same spirit you can use an object created externally (either a reference or using its string representation).

For example:

Pod pod = someThirdPartyCodeThatCreatesAPod();
client.resource(pod).delete();

Adapting the client

The client supports plug-able adapters. An example adapter is the OpenShift Adapter which allows adapting an existing KubernetesClient instance to an OpenShiftClient one.

For example:

KubernetesClient client = new KubernetesClientBuilder().build();

OpenShiftClient oClient = client.adapt(OpenShiftClient.class);

The client also support the isAdaptable() method which checks if the adaptation is possible and returns true if it does.

KubernetesClient client = new KubernetesClientBuilder().build();
if (client.isAdaptable(OpenShiftClient.class)) {
    OpenShiftClient oClient = client.adapt(OpenShiftClient.class);
} else {
    throw new Exception("Adapting to OpenShiftClient not support. Check if adapter is present, and that env provides /oapi root path.");
}

Adapting and close

Note that when using adapt() both the adaptee and the target will share the same resources (underlying http client, thread pools etc). This means that close() is not required to be used on every single instance created via adapt. Calling close() on any of the adapt() managed instances or the original instance, will properly clean up all the resources and thus none of the instances will be usable any longer.

Mocking Kubernetes

Along with the client this project also provides a kubernetes mock server that you can use for testing purposes. The mock server is based on https://github.com/square/okhttp/tree/master/mockwebserver but is empowered by the DSL and features provided by https://github.com/fabric8io/mockwebserver.

The Mock Web Server has two modes of operation:

  • Expectations mode
  • CRUD mode

Expectations mode

It's the typical mode where you first set which are the expected http requests and which should be the responses for each request. More details on usage can be found at: https://github.com/fabric8io/mockwebserver

This mode has been extensively used for testing the client itself. Make sure you check kubernetes-test.

To add a Kubernetes server to your test:

@Rule
public KubernetesServer server = new KubernetesServer();

CRUD mode

Defining every single request and response can become tiresome. Given that in most cases the mock webserver is used to perform simple crud based operations, a crud mode has been added. When using the crud mode, the mock web server will store, read, update and delete kubernetes resources using an in memory map and will appear as a real api server.

To add a Kubernetes Server in crud mode to your test:

@Rule
public KubernetesServer server = new KubernetesServer(true, true);

Then you can use the server like:

@Test
public void testInCrudMode() {
    KubernetesClient client = server.getClient();
    final CountDownLatch deleteLatch = new CountDownLatch(1);
    final CountDownLatch closeLatch = new CountDownLatch(1);

    //CREATE
    client.pods().inNamespace("ns1").create(new PodBuilder().withNewMetadata().withName("pod1").endMetadata().build());

    //READ
    podList = client.pods().inNamespace("ns1").list();
    assertNotNull(podList);
    assertEquals(1, podList.getItems().size());

    //WATCH
    Watch watch = client.pods().inNamespace("ns1").withName("pod1").watch(new Watcher<Pod>() {
        @Override
        public void eventReceived(Action action, Pod resource) {
            switch (action) {
                case DELETED:
                    deleteLatch.countDown();
                    break;
                default:
                    throw new AssertionFailedError(action.toString().concat(" isn't recognised."));
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onClose(KubernetesClientException cause) {
            closeLatch.countDown();
        }
    });

    //DELETE
    client.pods().inNamespace("ns1").withName("pod1").delete();

    //READ AGAIN
    podList = client.pods().inNamespace("ns1").list();
    assertNotNull(podList);
    assertEquals(0, podList.getItems().size());

    assertTrue(deleteLatch.await(1, TimeUnit.MINUTES));
    watch.close();
    assertTrue(closeLatch.await(1, TimeUnit.MINUTES));
}

JUnit5 support through extension

You can use KubernetesClient mocking mechanism with JUnit5. Since it doesn't support @Rule and @ClassRule there is dedicated annotation @EnableKubernetesMockClient. If you would like to create instance of mocked KubernetesClient for each test (JUnit4 @Rule) you need to declare instance of KubernetesClient as shown below.

@EnableKubernetesMockClient
class ExampleTest {

    KubernetesClient client;

    @Test
    public void testInStandardMode() {
            ...
    }
}

In case you would like to define static instance of mocked server per all the test (JUnit4 @ClassRule) you need to declare instance of KubernetesClient as shown below. You can also enable crudMode by using annotation field crud.

@EnableKubernetesMockClient(crud = true)
class ExampleTest {

    static KubernetesClient client;

    @Test
    public void testInCrudMode() {
            // ...
    }
}

Testing Against real Kubernetes API Server with Kube API Test

In order to test against real Kubernetes API the project provides a lightweight approach, thus starting up Kubernetes API Server and etcd binaries.

@EnableKubeAPIServer
class KubeAPITestSample {

  static KubernetesClient client;
  
  @Test
  void testWithClient() {
    // test using the client against real K8S API Server   
  }
}

For details see docs for Kube API Test.

Compatibility

Kubernetes

Starting from v5.5, the Kubernetes Client should be compatible with any supported Kubernetes cluster version. We provide DSL methods (for example client.pods(), client.namespaces(), and so on) for the most commonly used Kubernetes resources. If the resource you're looking for is not available through the DSL, you can always use the generic client.resource() method to interact with it. You can also open a new issue to request the addition of a new resource to the DSL.

We provide Kubernetes Java model types (for example Pod) and their corresponding builders (for example PodBuilder) for every vanilla Kubernetes resource (and some extensions). If you don't find a specific resource, and you think that it should be part of the Kubernetes Client, please open a new issue.

OpenShift

Starting from v5.5, the OpenShift Client should be compatible with any OpenShift cluster version currently supported by Red Hat. The Fabric8 Kubernetes Client is one of the few Kubernetes Java clients that provides full support for any supported OpenShift cluster version. If you find any incompatibility or something missing, please open a new issue.
