Kubernetes cloud profile

Cloud profiles rely on cloud providers to do its job. QuickBuild 8.0 ships with the Kubernetes cloud provider. To use it, one has to enable the Kubernetes plugin by providing a configuration file in Administration/Plugin Management page as demonstrated below:

Then one can follow the cloud profiles guide to create cloud profiles using Kubernetes launchers like below:

Create build agent image

You should use your own docker image when define the Kubernetes profile. The image should be pre-configured with your build environment as well as QuickBuild build agent. Below is an example to create a Debian Linux image only with OpenJDK and build agent installed.

1. Assume we have build agent installed at /path/to/buildagent. First run the build agent to make sure it can connect with the build server.

2. Create file /path/to/buildagent/Dockerfile with below content:

   FROM openjdk:8-jdk
   ADD . /app
   EXPOSE 8811
   CMD ["/app/bin/wrapper-linux-x86-64", "/app/conf/wrapper.conf"]

3. Change to directory /path/to/buildagent , and run below command

   docker build -t youraccount/qbagent:latest .

4. Then publish the built image:

   docker push youraccount/qbagent:latest

With this example, you should use docker image youraccount/qbagent:latest when define the Kubernetes profile above
