  • python >= 2.7

  • openshift >= 0.8.2

  • requests >= 2.0.0

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

api_key

string

Token used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_API_KEY environment variable.

ca_cert

aliases: ssl_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.

client_cert

aliases: cert_file

path

Path to a certificate used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CERT_FILE environment variable.

client_key

aliases: key_file

path

Path to a key file used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KEY_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.

host

string

Provide a URL for accessing the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_HOST environment variable.

kubeconfig

path

Path to an existing Kubernetes config file. If not provided, and no other connection options are provided, the openshift client will attempt to load the default configuration file from ~/.kube/config.json. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KUBECONFIG environment variable.

merge_type

list / elements=string

Whether to override the default patch merge approach with a specific type. By default, the strategic merge will typically be used.

Choices:

  • json

  • merge

  • strategic-merge

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.

path

string

Path of local image file to transfer.

persist_config

boolean

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: https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python-base/pull/169

Choices:

  • no

  • yes

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).

pvc_name

string / required

Use to specify the name of the target PersistentVolumeClaim.

pvc_namespace

string / required

Use to specify the namespace of the target PersistentVolumeClaim.

upload_host

string

URL containing the host and port on which the CDI Upload Proxy is available.

More info: https://github.com/kubevirt/containerized-data-importer/blob/master/doc/upload.md#expose-cdi-uploadproxy-service

upload_host_validate_certs

aliases: upload_host_verify_ssl

boolean

Whether or not to verify the CDI Upload Proxy’s SSL certificates against your system’s CA trust store.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes ← (default)

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 k8s_auth module, as that might do what you need.

validate_certs

aliases: verify_ssl

boolean

Whether or not to verify the API server’s SSL certificates. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_VERIFY_SSL environment variable.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes

Notes

Note

  • The OpenShift Python client wraps the K8s Python client, providing full access to all of the APIS and models available on both platforms. For API version details and additional information visit https://github.com/openshift/openshift-restclient-python

  • 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.

Examples

- name: Upload local image to pvc-vm1
  community.kubevirt.kubevirt_cdi_upload:
    pvc_namespace: default
    pvc_name: pvc-vm1
    upload_host: https://localhost:8443
    upload_host_validate_certs: false
    path: /tmp/cirros-0.4.0-x86_64-disk.img
