kubernetes.core.k8s_info

Describe Kubernetes (K8s) objects

Synopsis

  • Use the Kubernetes Python client to perform read operations on K8s objects.
  • Access to the full range of K8s APIs.
  • Authenticate using either a config file, certificates, password or token.
  • Supports check mode.
  • This module was called k8s_facts before Ansible 2.9. The usage did not change.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • python >= 3.9
  • kubernetes >= 24.2.0
  • PyYAML >= 3.11

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
api_key
string
Token used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_API_KEY environment variable.
api_version
string
Default:
"v1"
Use to specify the API version.
Use to create, delete, or discover an object without providing a full resource definition.
Use in conjunction with kind, name, and namespace to identify a specific object.
If resource definition is provided, the apiVersion value from the resource_definition will override this option.

aliases: api, version
ca_cert
path
Path to a CA certificate used to authenticate with the API. The full certificate chain must be provided to avoid certificate validation errors. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_SSL_CA_CERT environment variable.

aliases: ssl_ca_cert
client_cert
path
Path to a certificate used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CERT_FILE environment variable.

context
string
The name of a context found in the config file. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CONTEXT environment variable.
field_selectors
list / elements=string
Default:
[]
List of field selectors to use to filter results
hidden_fields
list / elements=string
added in 2.5.0
Hide fields matching any of the field definitions in the result
An example might be hidden_fields=[metadata.managedFields]
Only field definitions that don't reference list items are supported (so V(spec.containers[0]) would not work)
host
string
Provide a URL for accessing the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_HOST environment variable.
impersonate_groups
list / elements=string
added in 2.3.0
Group(s) to impersonate for the operation.
Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_IMPERSONATE_GROUPS environment. Example: Group1,Group2
impersonate_user
string
added in 2.3.0
Username to impersonate for the operation.
Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_IMPERSONATE_USER environment.
kind
string / required
Use to specify an object model.
Use to create, delete, or discover an object without providing a full resource definition.
Use in conjunction with api_version, name, and namespace to identify a specific object.
If resource definition is provided, the kind value from the resource_definition will override this option.
kubeconfig
raw
Path to an existing Kubernetes config file. 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 K8S_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. Added in version 2.2.0.
label_selectors
list / elements=string
Default:
[]
List of label selectors to use to filter results
name
string
Use to specify an object name.
Use to create, delete, or discover an object without providing a full resource definition.
Use in conjunction with api_version, kind and namespace to identify a specific object.
If resource definition is provided, the metadata.name value from the resource_definition will override this option.
namespace
string
Use to specify an object namespace.
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.
If resource definition is provided, the metadata.namespace value from the resource_definition will override this option.
no_proxy
string
added in 2.3.0
The comma separated list of hosts/domains/IP/CIDR that shouldn't go through proxy. 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. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PASSWORD environment variable.
Please read the description of the username option for a discussion of when this option is applicable.
persist_config
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
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: kubernetes-client/python-base#169
proxy
string
The URL of an HTTP proxy to use for the connection. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY environment variable.
Please note that this module does not pick up typical proxy settings from the environment (e.g. HTTP_PROXY).
proxy_headers
dictionary
added in 2.0.0
The Header used for the HTTP proxy.
basic_auth
string
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 K8S_AUTH_PROXY_HEADERS_USER_AGENT environment.
username
string
Provide a username for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_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. OAuth2 in OpenShift), this option will not work as expected and you should look into the community.okd.k8s_auth module, as that might do what you need.
validate_certs
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Whether or not to verify the API server's SSL certificates. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_VERIFY_SSL environment variable.

aliases: verify_ssl
wait
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
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 Deployment, DaemonSet and Pod, and for state=absent for all resource kinds.
For resource kinds without an implementation, wait returns immediately unless wait_condition is set.
wait_condition
dictionary
Specifies a custom condition on the status to wait for.
Ignored if wait is not set or is set to False.
reason
string
The value of the reason field in your desired condition
For example, if a Deployment is paused, The Progressing type will have the DeploymentPaused reason.
The possible reasons in a condition are specific to each resource type in Kubernetes.
See the API documentation of the status field for a given resource to see possible choices.
status
string
    Choices:
  • True ←
  • False
  • Unknown
The value of the status field in your desired condition.
For example, if a Deployment is paused, the Progressing type will have the Unknown status.
type
string
The type of condition to wait for.
For example, the Pod resource will set the Ready condition (among others).
Required if you are specifying a wait_condition.
If left empty, the wait_condition field will be ignored.
The possible types for a condition are specific to each resource type in Kubernetes.
See the API documentation of the status field for a given resource to see possible choices.
wait_sleep
integer
Default:
5
Number of seconds to sleep between checks.
wait_timeout
integer
Default:
120
How long in seconds to wait for the resource to end up in the desired state.
Ignored if wait is not set.

Notes

Note

- To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when validate_certs is True, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ca_cert or in the kubeconfig file.
