hawk

helm aws kubectl

docker image with helm, aws-cli and kubeclt

How did I come up with this name ? http://www.allscrabblewords.com/unscramble/helmkubeaws
Probably not good for SEO :(

Motivation

To achieve CI/CD through Jenkins (non k8s) for deploying apps to AWS EKS using Helm.

Usage

docker run -it \
  -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<AWS key>" \
  -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<AWS secret>" \
  -e AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="us-east-1" \
  naveenrajm/hawk:v1.0.0

# configure kubectl auth for an existing EKS cluster named "my-cluster"
aws eks update-kubeconfig --name my-cluster

# confirm it worked by listing your pods
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

# or list your helm deployments
helm ls --all-namespaces

To use in CI

# add how use this image in Jenkins

How to build:

To build your custom image, with desired versions , adding or deleting packages. Three reasons to build your own image

versions - select your versions for helm , aws and kubectl ( See available versions
add packages
remove unwanted packages

Caution: some packages depend on each other , like aws needs glibc, groff, and less. So be cautious while removing

for better readability each packages are in different lines in Dockerfile

git clone hawk
cd hawk
# change versions , add or remove pakages  
docker build -t myhawk:v1.0.0 .
