Overview

This node interacts with Kubernetes clusters, specifically supporting operations on various Kubernetes resources such as Pods. For the 'Pods' resource and 'Restart' operation, it allows restarting a pod within a specified namespace. This is useful in scenarios where a pod needs to be refreshed or reset without deleting it manually. For example, restarting a pod to apply configuration changes or recover from an error state.

Use Case Examples

1. Restarting a pod named 'my-pod' in the 'default' namespace to refresh its state.
2. Automating pod restarts as part of a deployment pipeline to ensure updated containers are running.

Properties

Output

JSON

• stdout - The standard output from the pod operation, such as logs or command output.

Dependencies

• Requires Kubernetes API credentials to authenticate and interact with the cluster.

Troubleshooting

• If no credentials are provided or invalid, the node throws an error 'No credentials got returned!'. Ensure valid Kubernetes API credentials are configured.
• The 'command' parameter must be a JSON array when running pods; otherwise, an error 'Command must be an array!' is thrown. Validate the command input format.
• Ensure the specified namespace and resource name exist in the Kubernetes cluster to avoid resource not found errors.
