./shore

Reading/Rendering files

JSONNET/{INSERT LANGUAGE} files will read from ./{project_path}/main.pipeline.jsonnet.

Only top level files that generate a Pipeline object will be rendered.

{project_path}/main.pipeline.jsonnet # RENDERS A PIPELINE

# ---- DOES NOT RENDER A PIPELINE ----
{project_path}/pipelines/MYSUBDIRECTORY/not-really-main.jsonnet

Pipeline objects can be identified using a validation method that conforms to one of the supported backends.

Saving to a backend

The rendered output is stored in Memory and is passed on to the correct backend service provider.

As of today (30 Mar 2021) only Spinnaker is supported as a backend service.

The framework will not validate the input before pushing to a backend as combinations may be very tricky to validate.

Instead the framework will try to provide known good values for a specific backend configuration (I.E. Spinnaker)

Tools

The framework will provide a few packages and functions for customer's to consume.

These packages will be made available through the common resources and identified at runtime.

To get these common resources, we recommend using Jsonnet-Bundler
