• Kubernetes configuration file

Running

Launch the Halyard daemon and drop into a prompt with launch_daemon.bash. It mounts the Host directory hal without a dot prefix to /home/spinnaker/.hal/ inside the Halyard Container. This is so the directory is more visible outside of the Container.

export KUBECONFIG=/fully/qualified/path/to/.kube/config
./launch_daemon.bash

Show the configuration that will be deployed:

hal version list
hal config
hal config --help  # Explore and set configurations
hal deploy apply

Run the post deployment definition to clean up the bootstrap Pods with post-deploy.yml.

export KUBECONFIG=/fully/qualified/path/to/.kube/config
kubectl apply --filename post-deploy.yml

Update Version

hal version list
hal config version edit --version ${NEW_VERSION}
hal deploy apply
