Any python client method available to get/set env variables of kubernetes deployment

  1. Need to get/set the env variables of deployment by using python client methods.

  2. kubectl describe deploy command or client.read_namespaced_deployment() method doesn't return the env of container in the pods which belongs to deployment.

Can able to get/set the env using kubectl command in cli. Kubectl command to get the env variable:

[user101@centoshost ~]$ kubectl --v=6 exec deploy/hello-deploy -- printenv

Kubectl set command to update the env variable: kubectl set env deploy/hello-deploy NEW_ENV_VAR="None"

In same way need python client method to perform the get/set operations for kuberenetes deployment.

Solution

  • use Kubernets offical python libaray.

    from kubernetes import client, config
config.load_kube_config()
api_client = client.AppsV1Api()
name = "dep_name"
namespace = "ns"
deploy_data = api_client.read_namespaced_deployment(name=name, namespace=namespace)

# get envs from deployment's first container
dep_envs = deploy_data.spec.template.spec.containers[0].env

# set envs for deployment's first container
envs =  [client.V1EnvVar(name="var", value="vv"), client.V1EnvVar(name="var2", value="vv2")]
deploy_data.spec.template.spec.containers[0].env = envs
api_client.patch_namespaced_deployment(name, namespace, deploy_data)
