Operator responsible for gracefully restart pods when depended resources change
This oprator is based on the Operator SDK and is used on order to make sure that pods are gracefully restarted after secrets have been updated by Kubernetes Replicator or similar software.
The idea is to create a CRD in the same namespace as the secret and the pods to be restarted with a content like:
apiVersion: reload-restart-trigger.k8s.faith/v1alpha1
kind: ResourceReloadRestartTrigger
metadata:
name: nginx
namespace: website
spec:
triggers:
- name: nginx-config
kind: ConfigMap
- name: cert-tls
kind: Secret
targets:
- kind: Deployment
name: nginx
A docker image will be published at irregular intervals as k8sfaith/triggered-rollout-restart-operator.
Suggested RBAC rules when deploying the Operator are. See the deploy folder for files needed for a deployment.
