You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansibie-core . To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list. To install it, use: ansibie-galaxy collection install kubernetes.core . You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

If not provided, and no other connection options are provided, the Kubernetes client will attempt to load the default configuration file from ~/-kube/config. Can also be specified via KBS_AUTH_KUBECONFIG environment variable. Multiple Kubernetes config file can be provided using separator ‘’ for Windows platform or‘: for others platforms. ‘The kubernetes configuration can be provided as dictionary. This feature requires a python kubernetes client version >= 17.17.0.

By default, the strategic merge will typically be used. For example, Custom Resource Definitions typically aren't updatable by the usual strategic merge. You may want to Use nerge_ if you see “strategic merge patch format is not supported” See https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run-application/updat -object-kubect!-patch/#use-a- json-merge-patch-to-update-a-deployment (https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run- application/update-ani-object-kubect/-patch/#use-a-json-merge-patch-to-update-a- deployment), If more than one nerge_type is given, the merge_types will be tried in order. This defaults to 'strategic-rerge', ‘merge") , Which is ideal for using the same parameters on resource kinds that combine Custom Resources and built-in resources. mutually exclusive with apply merge_type=json is deprecated and will be removed in version 3.0.0.

Useful when creating, deleting, or discovering an object without providing a full resource definition. Use in conjunction with api_version, kind, and name to identify a specific object.

Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_NO_PROXY environment variable. Please note that this module does not pick up typical proxy settings from the environment (e.g. NO_PROXY). This feature requires kubernetes>=19.15.0. When kubernetes library is less than 19.15.0, it fails even no_proxy set in correct. example value is “localhost, local,.example.com,127.0.0.1,127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16" password string Provide a password for authenticating with the API.

Please read the description of the usernane option for a discussion of when this option is applicable. persist_config boolean Whether or not to save the kube config refresh tokens. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PERSIST_CONFIG environment variable. When the k8s context is using a user credentials with refresh tokens (like oidc or gke/gcloud auth), the token is refreshed by the k8s python client library but not saved by default. So the old refresh token can expire and the next auth might fail. Setting this flag to true will tell the k8s, python client to save the new refresh token to the kube config file. Default to false. Please note that the current version of the k8s python client library does not support setting this flag to True yet. ‘The fix for this k8s python library is here: htips://github,com/kubernetes-client/python- base/pull/169 (htty 1ub.com/kubernetes-client/python-base/pull/169) Choices: + false Search this siteproxy string ‘The URL of an HTTP proxy to use for the connection.

Documentation can be found here https:/urllib3,readthedocs io /en/latest/reference/urllib3,util,htm|? highlight=proxy_headers#urllib3.util: make headers Colon-separated username:password for basic authentication header. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY_HEADERS_BASIC_AUTH environment, proxy_basic_auth string Colon-separated username:password for proxy basic authentication header. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY_HEADERS_PROXY_BASIC_AUTH environment. user_agent string String representing the user-agent you want, such as foo/'1.0. Can also be specified via KBS_AUTH_PROXY_HEADERS_USER_AGENT environment. resource_definition aliases: definition, inline string Provide a valid YAML definition (either as a string, list, or dict) for an object when creating or updating. NOTE: kind, api_version, name, and namespace will be overwritten by corresponding values found in the provided resource_definition. server_side_apply dictionary added in kubernetes.core 2.3.0 When this option is set, apply runs in the server instead of the client. Ignored if appiy is not set oris set to False. This option requires "kubernetes >= 19.15.0".

Choices: + fase € (default) + true src path Provide a path to a file containing a valid YAML definition of an object or objects to be created or updated. Mutually exclusive with resource_definition. NOTE: kind, api_version, name, and namespace will be overwritten by corresponding values found in the configuration read in from the src file. Reads from the local file system. To read from the Ansible controller's file system, including vaulted files, use the file lookup plugin or template lookup plugin, combined with the from_yam filter, and pass the result to resource_definition. See Examples below. ‘The URL to manifest files that can be used to create the resource. Added in version 2.4.0. Mutually exclusive with template in case of kubernetes.core.k8s module. state string Determines if an object should be created, patched, or deleted. When set to present , an object will be created, if it does not already exist. If set to absent , an existing object will be deleted. If set to. present , an existing object will be patched, if its attributes differ from those specified using resource_definition or src. patehed state is an existing resource that has a given patch applied.

The parameter accepts multiple template files. Added in version 2.0.0. Mutually exclusive with sre and resource definition ‘Template files needs to be present on the Ansible Controller's file system.

When set to yes_ leading spaces and tabs are stripped from the start of a line to a block. This functionality requires Jinja 2.7 or newer. Default value is false. username string Provide a username for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K@S_AUTH_USERNAME environment variable. Please note that this only works with clusters configured to use HTTP Basic Auth. If your cluster has a different form of authentication (e.g. OAuth? in OpenShift), this option will not work as expected and you should look into the community.okd.k8s auth (././community/okd/k8s auth module, html#ansible-collections-community-okd-k8s-auth- module) module, as that might do what you need. validate dictionary how (if at all) to validate the resource definition against the kubernetes schema, Requires the kubernetes-validate python module. fail_on_error boolean whether to fail on validation errors.

Can also be specified via K@S_AUTH_VERIFY_SSL environment variable. Choices: + false wait boolean Whether to wait for certain resource kinds to end up in the desired state. By default the module exits once Kubernetes has received the request. Implemented for state-present for veployment , Daenonset and pod , and for state-absent for all resource kinds.
