Configuring Velocity with Kubernetes

Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

Create an Agent for the VCS

The first step is create a new Agent which will be communicate with your configured VCS.

• Navigate to the Agents Settings.

• click Create agent

• You should now see setup instructions for the agent.

For now, disregard the docker instructions and continue to the next step.

Run the Agent

Before running the agent, use the following command to confirm that your Kubernetes environment is up and running:

kubectl get pods

We can now run a standalone pod. Make sure to run the kubectl command with the correct environment variables for AGENT_ID and AGENT_TOKEN

kubectl run agent --image=codeclimate/velocity-agent --env="AGENT_ID=agent" --env="AGENT_TOKEN=token"

This command creates a new K8s pod with the required environment variables, and starts running on it on the K8s infrastructure.

Retrieve the pod logs to confirm that it's working as expected:

kubectl logs agent

You can now create your Services, Deployment, Network Policies, and Volumes.
