# ansible-kubernetes-modules
Provides access to the latest pre-release K8s modules.
Include this role in a playbook, and any other plays, roles, and includes will have access to the modules.
The modules are found in the [library folder](./library). Each has full documentation for parameters and the returned data structure. However, not all modules will include examples, only those where [test data](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-restclient-python/tree/master/openshift/ansiblegen/examples) has been created.
If you find an issue with a particular module, or have suggestions, please file an issue at the [OpenShift Rest Client repo](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-restclient-python/issues).
Requirements
------------
- Ansible installed from source
- [OpenShift Rest Client](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-restclient-python) installed on the host where the modules will execute.
Installation and use
--------------------
Use the Galaxy client to install the role:
```
$ ansible-galaxy install ansible.kubernetes-modules
```
Once installed, add it to a playbook:
```
---
- hosts: localhost
remote_user: root
roles:
- role: ansible.kubernetes-modules
install_python_requirements: no
- role: hello-world
```
Because the role is referenced, the `hello-world` role is able to deploy an applicatoin using the K8s modules. To see contents of the actual role, check in the [tests/roles](./tests/roles) folder.
Authenticating with the API
---------------------------
The modules interact directly with the Kubernetes or OpenShift API. It is not required that you have the `kubectl` or `oc` CLI tool installed.
By default the OpenShift Rest Client will look for `~/.kube/config`, and if found, connect using the active context. You can override the location of the file using the `kubeconfig` parameter, and the context, using the `context` parameter.
Basic authentication is also supported using the `username` and `password` options. You can override the URL using the `host` parameter. Certificate authentication works through the `ssl_ca_cert`, `cert_file`, and `key_file` parameters, and for token authentication, use the `api_key` parameter.
To disable SSL certificate verification, set `verify_ssl` to false.
Role Variables
--------------
install_python_requirements
> Set to true, if you want the OpenShift Rest Client installed. Defaults to false. Will install via `pip`.
virtualenv
> Provide the name of a virtualenv to use when installing `pip` packages.
