Ksctl State-Importer
Documentation on ksctl stateimporter
Categories:
It is a helper deployment to transfer state information from one storage option to another.
It is used to transfer data in ~/.ksctl location (provided the cluster is created via storageProvider: store-local).
It utilizes the these 2 methods:
Export: StorageFactory InterfaceImport: StorageFactory Interface
so before the ksctl agent is deployed we first create this pod which in turn runs a http server having storageProvider: store-kubernetes and uses storage.Import() method
once we get 200 OK responses from the http server we remove the pod and move to ksctl agent deployment so that it can use the state file present in configmaps, secrets
Warning
If the storageType is external (mongodb), we don’t need this to be happening instead we create kubernetes secret where the external storage solution environment variable is set and also we need to customize the ksctl agent deploymentFeedback
