Kubernetes connection object

A Connection object contains the parameters that make the communication between the Agent and the target system possible. These parameters (target system endpoint, login data and so on) are required to authenticate on and connect to the target cloud solution.

As an administrator user, you create the K8s Connection objects that provide the log in data required to establish the connection to the Kubernetes system.

As a developer or object designer, you assign the respective K8s Connection object to the respective Run, Scale Deployment, and Execute Command Jobs to create and execute them on the Kubernetes system without leaving the Automic Web Interface.

The Connection Object definition consists of an Agent-specific page and other pages that are common to all Connection objects.

This topic explains how to configure the K8s Connection object.

K8s Page

Kubernetes page

The K8s-specific page contains a Connection and a Proxy section.

Connection Section

In this section, you define the parameters relevant for the connection to the Kubernetes system.

  • Base URL

    Base URL of the Kubernetes server.

  • Authentication Type

    Authentication type for the Kubernetes connection.

    The options available are the following:

    • Token: The bearer token used to log into the Kubernetes server

    • Token from file: Path to the file in which the token is stored.

  • Token / Token from File

    Depending on the authentication type selected, either the token used to log into Kubernetes or the path to the file in which the token is stored.

Proxy Section

If the Kubernetes system is behind a proxy server, you define the parameters relevant for the connection to the Kubernetes system in this section.

  • Proxy Host Name

    Host name or IP address of the proxy server to which you want to connect.

  • Proxy Port

    Port used by the proxy server.

  • Proxy Username

    User name used to authenticate the proxy server.

  • Proxy Password

    Password of the user used to authenticate the proxy server.

Common Definition Pages

In addition to the Agent-specific connection parameters, you can also specify optional properties. You do so on the following definition pages:
