Quick Start

In this walk-through, we create and run a playbook that scales a Kubernetes deployment.

Prerequisites

• Mission Control is installed and configured
• The mission-control-sa service account has relevant permissions
• kubectl is installed and connected

1. Create a playbook spec

   restart-deployment.yaml
   apiVersion: mission-control.flanksource.com/v1
   kind: Playbook
   metadata:
     name: restart-deployment
   spec:
     description: Restart deployment
     configs:
       - types:
           - Kubernetes::Deployment
     actions:
       - name: kubectl rollout restart deployment
         exec:
           script: kubectl rollout restart deployment {{.config.name}} -n {{.config.tags.namespace}}

   See Playbook for the full specification.

2. Apply the playbook

   kubectl apply -f restart-deployment.yaml

   Add playbook from UI

   warning

   This is for development purposes, for production use a GitOps tool like Flux or Argo to apply the spec.

   1. Navigate to the Playbooks page

   2. Click on the icon to add a new playbook

   3. Add the spec from the YAML file above

      

3. Run the playbook

4. Navigate to a Deployment in the Catalog

5. Select Restart Deployment from the Playbooks menu

6. Click Run
   

   

   See Event Triggers to run the playbook on event (e.g. pod crashlooping)
   See Webhooks to run the playbook from a webhook (e.g. on Git push)

7. View the playbook progress
