pyk 0.3.2

A simple, yet useful Kubernetes toolkit in Python

This is a simple, yet useful toolkit that supports you in writing microservices-style apps with Kubernetes.

The pyk toolkit is meant to be used by tools such as kploy or from your own app. It is manifest-oriented, that is, it expects the resource definitions in YAML files; currently pyk’s API is as follows:

• execute an arbitrary operation and return the resource, if any: execute_operation(method='GET', ops_path='', payload='')

• return a description of a resource: describe_resource(resource_path)

• delete a resource: delete_resource(resource_path)

• create a Replication Controller (RC): create_rc(manifest_filename, namespace='default')

• scale a RC: scale_rc(manifest_filename, namespace='default', num_replicas=0)

• create a service: create_svc(manifest_filename, namespace='default')

Dependencies

All of these are included in the setup:

• Python Requests (note: I’ve tested with version 2.6.2)

• Python PyYAML (note: I’ve tested with version 3.11)

Using pyk

A simple usage pattern is, for example, to create a Replication Controller:

import pprint
from pyk import toolkit

pyk_client = toolkit.KubeHTTPClient() # assumes local API Server at http://localhost:8080
_, rc_url = pyk_client.create_rc(manifest_filename='manifest/nginx-webserver-rc.yaml')
rc = pyk_client.describe_resource(rc_url)
pprint.pprint(rc.json())

Testing pyk

In order to run the tests, use test_pyk.py $KUBERNETES_API_SERVER_URL, for example:

$ ./test_pyk.py http://52.33.181.164/service/kubernetes

Above runs all the tests. You can also specify a particular test, like so:

$ ./test_pyk.py http://52.33.181.164/service/kubernetes "init app"
