Bureaucrat is a tool for making parametric Kubernetes deployments.

Installation

Prerequisites:

• Node.js

To install (or update) bureaucrat, run npm install -g @wellplayed/bureaucrat@latest.

Usage

Apply changes to a deployment (including deploying a fresh deployment)

bureaucrat apply --namespace=my-namespace ./my-package deployment-name -f extra-config.yaml

• -f (--config-file) merges the contents of a YAML file into the config.
• -n (--namespace) specifies which Kubernetes namespace to deploy into.

Compile a deployment (to see what resources it would deploy)

bureaucrat compile ./my-package deployment-name -f extra-config.yaml

List a deployment

bureaucrat list delpoyment-name

Delete a deployment

Delete all resources associated with a deployment - make sure to use bureaucrat list deployment first to check what will get removed.

bureaucrat delete deployment-name
