kubernetes / client-go

This document provides an in-depth overview of the CI/CD Automation scripts in the kubernetes/client-go project. At present, a formal CI/CD pipeline is not yet set up for the project.

Current Status

As of now, there is no CI/CD automation implemented in the kubernetes/client-go repository. This implies that the automation scripts to facilitate continuous integration and deployment processes do not exist.

Next Steps

To establish CI/CD for the kubernetes/client-go project, the following steps are recommended:

  1. Select a CI/CD Provider: Choose a suitable CI/CD provider (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD).

  2. Define Build and Test Steps:

    • Outline the build process that compiles the Go code (ensuring dependencies are fetched without using -mod=vendor).
    • Implement a testing phase that runs existing test cases within the project.

  3. Integrate Deployment Mechanisms: Identify how deployments will occur following successful builds/tests. Define the steps to deploy the client-go binaries to appropriate environments if applicable.

  4. Create Configuration Files:

    • For GitHub Actions, create a .github/workflows/ci.yml file that defines the workflow.
    • For Jenkins, create a Jenkinsfile that specifies build and test stages.

  5. Implement Notification Mechanisms: Set up notifications (e.g., Slack, email) to inform team members of CI/CD status changes.

Example Script for CI/CD Setup

The following is an example script that would automate the build and testing process using GitHub Actions. This example can be adapted for other CI/CD platforms as needed.

GitHub Actions Configuration

Create a file at .github/workflows/ci.yml:

name: CI

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    
    steps:
    - name: Checkout code
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
      
    - name: Set up Go
      uses: actions/setup-go@v2
      with:
        go-version: '1.XX'  # replace with your Go version
        
    - name: Build
      run: go build -o output/client-go ./...
      
    - name: Run Tests
      run: go test ./...

In this example:

  • The action triggers on pushes and pull requests to the main branch.
  • It checks out the code and sets up the specified Go version.
  • The code is built using go build without the -mod=vendor flag.
  • It runs tests available in the project using go test.

This is a foundational outline of implementing CI/CD automation for the kubernetes/client-go project. Customization will be required based on specific requirements or environments in which the project operates.

By completing the steps outlined, you will establish a CI/CD pipeline that automates building, testing, and deploying the kubernetes/client-go implementation.
