If I create project 'A' and want to deploy a template from inside it that creates objects in project 'A' and also in another project 'B' how would I achieve this. I tried simply specifying the namespace of project 'B' in the template but got the error
the namespace of the provided object does not match the namespace sent on the request
According to documentation:
If an object definition’s metadata includes a fixed namespace field value, the field will be stripped out of the definition during template instantiation. If the namespace field contains a parameter reference, normal parameter substitution will be performed and the object will be created in whatever namespace the parameter substitution resolved the value to, assuming the user has permission to create objects in that namespace.
So just specify required namespaces as template's parameters. Usable example:
apiVersion: template.openshift.io/v1
kind: Template
metadata:
name: xxx
parameters:
- name: ns1
value: test1
- name: ns2
value: test2
objects:
- apiVersion: v1
data:
key1: value1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
namespace: ${ns1}
name: cm1
- apiVersion: v1
data:
key2: value2
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
namespace: ${ns2}
name: cm2

I have k8s configmap as below.
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: config-map-data-test
namespace: test
data:
example1.properties: |
profile_id=val1
ENDPOINT=val2
SECRETS_FILE_DIR=val3
example2.properties: |
key1=val11
key2=val22
I want to use only profile_id from example1.properties inside pod as environment variable. How to get only specific key/value in this case?
I have a number of repeated values in my kubernetes yaml file and I wondering if there was a way I could store variables somewhere in the file, ideally at the top, that I can reuse further down
sort of like
variables:
- appName: &appname myapp
- buildNumber: &buildno 1.0.23
that I can reuse further down like
labels:
app: *appname
tags.datadoghq.com/version:*buildno
containers:
- name: *appname
...
image: 123456.com:*buildno
if those are possible
I know anchors are a thing in yaml I just couldn't find anything on setting variables
You can't do this in Kubernetes manifests, because you need a processor to manipulate the YAML files. Though you can share the anchors in the same YAML manifest like this:
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: &cmname myconfig
namespace: &namespace default
labels:
name: *cmname
deployedInNamespace: *namespace
data:
config.yaml: |
[myconfig]
example_field=1
This will result in:
apiVersion: v1
data:
config.yaml: |
[myconfig]
example_field=1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
creationTimestamp: "2023-01-25T10:06:27Z"
labels:
deployedInNamespace: default
name: myconfig
name: myconfig
namespace: default
resourceVersion: "147712"
uid: 4039cea4-1e64-4d1a-bdff-910d5ff2a485
As you can see the labels name && deployedInNamespace have the values resulted from the anchor evaluation.
Based on your use case description, what you would need is going the Helm chart path and template your manifests. You can then leverage helper functions and easily customize when you want these fields. From my experience, when you have an use case like this, Helm is the way to go, because it will help you customize everything within your manifests when you decide to change something else.
I guess there is a similar question with answer.

How to reuse an environment variable in a YAML file?
Here it is my kustomization.yaml
kind: Kustomization
configMapGenerator:
- name: app-cm
literals:
- foo=bar
- var1=1
after kustomize build . I see var1 value in double quotes:
apiVersion: v1
data:
foo: bar
var1: "1"
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: app-cm-ghtd2cb8m9
How should I compose kustomization.yaml the file to get the value of the variable without the quotes?
I expect var1 value without quotation as:
apiVersion: v1
data:
foo: bar
var1: 1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: app-cm-ghtd2cb8m9
What you expect can not be done. Kustomize did it right. The schema for a ConfigMap, in kubernetes, expects data do be a dict, whose values should be strings.
If we were to omit those quotes, while this yaml would still be "valid": when converted into json and posted to Kubernetes API, your value would be sent as an integer. This would violate ConfigMaps schema. Adding those quotes makes sure proper type would be used.
Maybe you can cast this value as integer in your application, or whatever you're trying to use this with.
i'm playing around with knative currently and bootstrapped a simple installation using gloo and glooctl. Everything worked fine out of the box. However, i just asked myself if there is a possibility to change the generated url, where the service is made available at.
I already changed the domain, but i want to know if i could select a domain name without containing the namespace, so helloworld-go.namespace.mydomain.com would become helloworld-go.mydomain.com.
The current YAML-definition looks like this:
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Service
metadata:
labels:
name: helloworld-go
namespace: default
spec:
template:
spec:
containers:
- image: gcr.io/knative-samples/helloworld-go
env:
- name: TARGET
value: Go Sample v1
Thank you for your help!
This is configurable via the ConfigMap named config-network in the namespace knative-serving. See the ConfigMap in the deployment resources:
apiVersion: v1
data:
_example: |
...
# domainTemplate specifies the golang text template string to use
# when constructing the Knative service's DNS name. The default
# value is "{{.Name}}.{{.Namespace}}.{{.Domain}}". And those three
# values (Name, Namespace, Domain) are the only variables defined.
#
# Changing this value might be necessary when the extra levels in
# the domain name generated is problematic for wildcard certificates
# that only support a single level of domain name added to the
# certificate's domain. In those cases you might consider using a value
# of "{{.Name}}-{{.Namespace}}.{{.Domain}}", or removing the Namespace
# entirely from the template. When choosing a new value be thoughtful
# of the potential for conflicts - for example, when users choose to use
# characters such as `-` in their service, or namespace, names.
# {{.Annotations}} can be used for any customization in the go template if needed.
# We strongly recommend keeping namespace part of the template to avoid domain name clashes
# Example '{{.Name}}-{{.Namespace}}.{{ index .Annotations "sub"}}.{{.Domain}}'
# and you have an annotation {"sub":"foo"}, then the generated template would be {Name}-{Namespace}.foo.{Domain}
domainTemplate: "{{.Name}}.{{.Namespace}}.{{.Domain}}"
...
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
labels:
serving.knative.dev/release: "v0.8.0"
name: config-network
namespace: knative-serving
Therefore, your config-network should look like this:
apiVersion: v1
data:
domainTemplate: {{ '"{{.Name}}.{{.Domain}}"' }}
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: config-network
namespace: knative-serving
You can also have a look and customize the config-domain to configure the domain name that is appended to your services.
Assuming you're running knative over an istio service mesh, there's an example of how to use an Istio Virtual Service to accomplish this at the service level in the knative docs.
I'm deploying a single yaml file containing two manifests using the Spinnaker Kubernetes Provider V2 (Manifest deployer). Inside the Deployment I have a custom annotation that references the ConfigMap:
# ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: my-config-map
data:
foo: bar
---
# Deployment
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: my-deployment
spec:
template:
metadata:
annotations:
my-config-map-reference: my-config-map
[...]
Upon deployment, Spinnaker applies versioning to the ConfigMap, which is then deployed as my-config-map-v000.
I'd like to be able to retrieve the full name inside my custom annotation, but since Spinnaker replaces automatically the configMap references with the appropriate versioned values only in specific entrypoints ( https://github.com/spinnaker/clouddriver/blob/master/clouddriver-kubernetes/src/main/groovy/com/netflix/spinnaker/clouddriver/kubernetes/v2/artifact/ArtifactReplacerFactory.java ) in this case this does not work.
According to Spinnaker documentation ( https://www.spinnaker.io/reference/artifacts/in-kubernetes-v2/#why-not-pipeline-expressions ) I may be able to write a Pipeline Expression to retrieve the full name, but I wasn't able to do so.
How can I set the full ConfigMap name inside the annotation?
Spinnaker can inject artifacts from the currently executing pipeline into your manifests as they are deployed
Refer to this guide for the instructions on how to Binding artifacts in manifests
However, as mentioned here, there's NO resource mapping for annotation, so it should be user-supplied only as a parameter for your manifest.
In the future, certain relationships between resources will be recorded and annotated by Spinnaker
