Overview

This node interacts with Kubernetes clusters, supporting various operations on Kubernetes resources such as StatefulSets. Specifically, the 'Restart' operation allows restarting a StatefulSet by running a pod with a specified image and command in a given namespace. This is useful for scenarios where you need to refresh or restart StatefulSets without manually accessing the Kubernetes cluster. For example, you can automate restarting a StatefulSet after updating its configuration or image.

Use Case Examples

1. Restart a StatefulSet in the 'default' namespace using a specific container image to apply updates or refresh the service.
2. Run a custom command in a pod within a StatefulSet to troubleshoot or perform maintenance tasks.

Properties

Output

JSON

• stdout - The standard output from running the pod or command associated with the StatefulSet operation.

Dependencies

• Requires Kubernetes API credentials to authenticate and interact with the Kubernetes cluster.

Troubleshooting

• If no credentials are provided or returned, the node throws an error 'No credentials got returned!'. Ensure Kubernetes API credentials are correctly configured.
• If the 'command' parameter is not an array when running a pod, an error 'Command must be an array!' is thrown. Provide the command as a JSON array.
