fullnameOverride: app-namefullnameOverride replaces the release fullname created by default by devtron, which is used to construct Kubernetes object names. By default, devtron uses {app-name}-{environment-name} as release fullname.
image:
pullPolicy: IfNotPresentImage is used to access images in kubernetes, pullpolicy is used to define the instances calling the image, here the image is pulled when the image is not present,it can also be set as "Always".
imagePullSecrets contains the docker credentials that are used for accessing a registry.
imagePullSecrets:
- regcredregcred is the secret that contains the docker credentials that are used for accessing a registry. Devtron will not create this secret automatically, you'll have to create this secret using dt-secrets helm chart in the App store or create one using kubectl. You can follow this documentation Pull an Image from a Private Registry https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/pull-image-private-registry/ .

Winter Soldier can be used to
- cleans up (delete) Kubernetes resources
- reduce workload pods to 0
NOTE: After deploying this we can create the Hibernator object and provide the custom configuration by which workloads going to delete, sleep and many more. for more information check the main repo
Given below is template values you can give in winter-soldier:
winterSoilder:
enable: false
apiVersion: pincher.devtron.ai/v1alpha1
action: sleep
timeRangesWithZone:
timeZone: "Asia/Kolkata"
timeRanges: []
targetReplicas: []
fieldSelector: []Here,
| Key | values | Description |
|---|---|---|
enable |
fasle,true |
decide the enabling factor |
apiVersion |
pincher.devtron.ai/v1beta1, pincher.devtron.ai/v1alpha1 |
specific api version |
action |
sleep,delete, scale |
This specify the action need to perform. |
timeRangesWithZone:timeZone |
eg:- "Asia/Kolkata","US/Pacific" |
It use to specify the timeZone used. (It uses standard format. please refer this) |
timeRangesWithZone:timeRanges |
array of [ timeFrom, timeTo, weekdayFrom, weekdayTo] |
It use to define time period/range on which the user need to perform the specified action. you can have multiple timeRanges. These settings will take action on Sat and Sun from 00:00 to 23:59:59, |
targetReplicas |
[n] : n - number of replicas to scale. |
These is mandatory field when the action is scale Defalut value is []. |
fieldSelector |
- AfterTime(AddTime( ParseTime({{metadata.creationTimestamp}}, '2006-01-02T15:04:05Z'), '5m'), Now()) |
These value will take a list of methods to select the resources on which we perform specified action . |
here is an example,
winterSoilder:
apiVersion: pincher.devtron.ai/v1alpha1
enable: true
annotations: {}
labels: {}
timeRangesWithZone:
timeZone: "Asia/Kolkata"
timeRanges:
- timeFrom: 00:00
timeTo: 23:59:59
weekdayFrom: Sat
weekdayTo: Sun
- timeFrom: 00:00
timeTo: 08:00
weekdayFrom: Mon
weekdayTo: Fri
- timeFrom: 20:00
timeTo: 23:59:59
weekdayFrom: Mon
weekdayTo: Fri
action: scale
targetReplicas: [1,1,1]
fieldSelector:
- AfterTime(AddTime( ParseTime({{metadata.creationTimestamp}}, '2006-01-02T15:04:05Z'), '10h'), Now())Above settings will take action on Sat and Sun from 00:00 to 23:59:59, and on Mon-Fri from 00:00 to 08:00 and 20:00 to 23:59:59. If action:sleep then runs hibernate at timeFrom and unhibernate at timeTo. If action: delete then it will delete workloads at timeFrom and timeTo. Here the action:scale thus it scale the number of resource replicas to targetReplicas: [1,1,1]. Here each element of targetReplicas array is mapped with the corresponding elments of array timeRangesWithZone/timeRanges. Thus make sure the length of both array is equal, otherwise the cnages cannot be observed.
The above example will select the application objects which have been created 10 hours ago across all namespaces excluding application's namespace. Winter soldier exposes following functions to handle time, cpu and memory.
- ParseTime - This function can be used to parse time. For eg to parse creationTimestamp use ParseTime({{metadata.creationTimestamp}}, '2006-01-02T15:04:05Z')
- AddTime - This can be used to add time. For eg AddTime(ParseTime({{metadata.creationTimestamp}}, '2006-01-02T15:04:05Z'), '-10h') ll add 10h to the time. Use d for day, h for hour, m for minutes and s for seconds. Use negative number to get earlier time.
- Now - This can be used to get current time.
- CpuToNumber - This can be used to compare CPU. For eg any({{spec.containers.#.resources.requests}}, { MemoryToNumber(.memory) < MemoryToNumber('60Mi')}) will check if any resource.requests is less than 60Mi.
These define minimum and maximum RAM and CPU available to the application.
resources:
limits:
cpu: "1"
memory: "200Mi"
requests:
cpu: "0.10"
memory: "100Mi"Resources are required to set CPU and memory usage.
Limits make sure a container never goes above a certain value. The container is only allowed to go up to the limit, and then it is restricted.
Requests are what the container is guaranteed to get.
This defines annotations and the type of service, optionally can define name also.
service:
type: ClusterIP
annotations: {}volumes:
- name: log-volume
emptyDir: {}
- name: logpv
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: logpvcIt is required when some values need to be read from or written to an external disk.
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /var/log/nginx/
name: log-volume
- mountPath: /mnt/logs
name: logpvc
subPath: employee It is used to provide mounts to the volume.
Spec:
Affinity:
Key:
Values:Spec is used to define the desire state of the given container.
Node Affinity allows you to constrain which nodes your pod is eligible to schedule on, based on labels of the node.
Inter-pod affinity allow you to constrain which nodes your pod is eligible to be scheduled based on labels on pods.
Key part of the label for node selection, this should be same as that on node. Please confirm with devops team.
Value part of the label for node selection, this should be same as that on node. Please confirm with devops team.
tolerations:
- key: "key"
operator: "Equal"
value: "value"
effect: "NoSchedule|PreferNoSchedule|NoExecute(1.6 only)"Taints are the opposite, they allow a node to repel a set of pods.
A given pod can access the given node and avoid the given taint only if the given pod satisfies a given taint.
Taints and tolerations are a mechanism which work together that allows you to ensure that pods are not placed on inappropriate nodes. Taints are added to nodes, while tolerations are defined in the pod specification. When you taint a node, it will repel all the pods except those that have a toleration for that taint. A node can have one or many taints associated with it.

Containers section can be used to run side-car containers along with your main container within same pod. Containers running within same pod can share volumes and IP Address and can address each other @localhost. We can use base image inside container by setting the reuseContainerImage flag to true.

GracePeriod: 30Kubernetes waits for the specified time called the termination grace period before terminating the pods. By default, this is 30 seconds. If your pod usually takes longer than 30 seconds to shut down gracefully, make sure you increase the GracePeriod.
A Graceful termination in practice means that your application needs to handle the SIGTERM message and begin shutting down when it receives it. This means saving all data that needs to be saved, closing down network connections, finishing any work that is left, and other similar tasks.
There are many reasons why Kubernetes might terminate a perfectly healthy container. If you update your deployment with a rolling update, Kubernetes slowly terminates old pods while spinning up new ones. If you drain a node, Kubernetes terminates all pods on that node. If a node runs out of resources, Kubernetes terminates pods to free those resources. It’s important that your application handle termination gracefully so that there is minimal impact on the end user and the time-to-recovery is as fast as possible.

KEDA is a Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaler. With KEDA, you can drive the scaling of any container in Kubernetes based on the number of events needing to be processed. KEDA can be installed into any Kubernetes cluster and can work alongside standard Kubernetes components like the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler(HPA).
Example for autosccaling with KEDA using Prometheus metrics is given below:

If you want to see application metrics like different HTTP status codes metrics, application throughput, latency, response time. Enable the Application metrics from below the deployment template Save button. After enabling it, you should be able to see all metrics on App detail page. By default it remains disabled.

Once all the Deployment template configurations are done, click on Save to save your deployment configuration. Now you are ready to create Workflow to do CI/CD.
Helm Chart json schema is used to validate the deployment template values.
