gybe 0.2.1

A simple YAML transpilation tool for rendering kubernetes manifests

Gybe

Transpile Kubernetes manifests with your simple values.yaml files using python type-hints. Gybe is a simple, declarative, and more pythonic alternative to helm that makes it easier to develop modest kubernetes deployments.

Reqiurements

Python 3.7+

Gybe uses pydantic for type-hint validation and click for the CLI.

Install

pip install gybe

Example

Create a simple values.yaml file:

image: python:3.9
command:
  - python
  - -m
  - http.server

Create a chart.py file:

from typing import List

from gybe.favorites.kubernetes import Pod, PodSpec, Container
import gybe


def create_standard_container(image: str, command: List[str]):
    return Container(image=image, command=command, name='standard-server')


@gybe.transpiler
def two_pods(image: str, command: List[str], port: int=8080) -> gybe.Manifest:
    pod_spec = PodSpec(
        containers=[
            create_standard_container(image=image, command=command)
        ],
        ports=[dict(port=port)]
    )
    return [
        Pod(
            kind='Pod',
            apiVersion='v1',
            metadata=dict(name='pod-1'),
            spec=pod_spec,
        ),
        Pod(
            kind='Pod',
            apiVersion='v1',
            metadata=dict(name='pod-2'),
            spec=pod_spec,
        ),
    ]


if __name__ == '__main__':
    two_pods()

Now run your transpiler with your values file:

python chart.py values.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: pod-1
spec:
  containers:
  - command:
    - python
    - -m
    - http.server
    image: python:3.9
    name: standard-server
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: pod-2
spec:
  containers:
  - command:
    - python
    - -m
    - http.server
    image: python:3.9
    name: standard-server

If you're feeling lucky, you can pipe that into kubectl:

python chart.py values.yaml | kubectl apply -f -

pod/pod-1 created
pod/pod-2 created

kubectl get pods

NAME    READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
pod-1   1/1     Running   0          5s
pod-2   1/1     Running   0          5s

python chart.py values.yaml | kubectl delete -f -

pod "pod-1" deleted
pod "pod-2" deleted
