🧩 Kubernetes Resource Overview: sde-deployer.yaml¶
This document outlines the Kubernetes artifacts deployed by the provided YAML file. These resources are used to configure and launch a deployment automation job for a suite of enterprise IBM applications.
📦 1. Namespace¶
kind: Namespace
sde-deployer to logically isolate and manage the associated resources. 🔐 2. Secret¶
kind: Secret
entitlement-key-secret stores the IBM Container Registry entitlement key needed to authenticate when pulling protected container images. ⚙️ 3. ConfigMap¶
kind: ConfigMap
sde-config provides a collection of application-specific configuration YAML files (e.g., for B2Bi, ITXA, Connect:Direct). This is mounted into the deployer container for dynamic use at runtime. 👤 4. ServiceAccount¶
kind: ServiceAccount
sde-deployer-sa defines an identity used by the deployment job to authenticate within the cluster. 🔐 5. RoleBinding¶
kind: RoleBinding
sde-deployer-sa service account permission to use the privileged Security Context Constraint (SCC), allowing more permissive operations (e.g., running as root or accessing host-level resources if required). 🌐 6. ClusterRoleBinding¶
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
sde-deployer-sa service account cluster-admin permissions, enabling full access across the cluster — typically necessary for complex, multi-namespace deployments. ⚙️ 7. Job¶
kind: Job
sde-deployer-job runs a one-time container using the image knickkennedy/sde-deployer:v6.2.1.0. It mounts the configuration files and uses the entitlement key to deploy IBM applications (e.g., B2Bi, ITXA) across the cluster according to the contents of the sde-config ConfigMap. Key features: - Uses the service account sde-deployer-sa. - Mounts the config files at /app/config. - Pulls secrets and values dynamically at runtime.
