Change 725820 [1] configured airshipctl to fail an airship config file isn't present. The present change makes an exception to that behavior for the document plugin subcommand, and moves the plugin loading from the parent document command into the pull subcommand. There are multiple reasons we don't want config enforcement in place for plugins: - If a non-standard config file location is configured via an environment variable, the plugin won't know about it (since it's invoked separately by kustomize), and it would look for a potentially non-existant default config file, and fail. - If a user is using the kustomize cli by hand along with airshipctl plugins (as opposed to driving the process via airshipctl itself), then they do not need the config anyway -- the plugin subcommand doesn't actually use it. Forcing the user to create a config file seems awkward here. [1]: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/725820/16 Change-Id: Ic1b652efb14439ed2757eb9fb0a86feb8b3ef21c
Airshipctl
Airshipctl is a command-line interface that enables users to manage declarative infrastructure and software.
Airshipctl aims to provide a seamless experience for operators wishing to leverage the best open source options such as the Cluster API, Metal Kubed, Kustomize, and kubeadm by providing a straight forward and easily approachable interface.
This project is the heart of our effort to produce Airship 2.0, which has three main evolutions from Airship 1.0:
- Expand our use of entrenched upstream projects.
- Embrace Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRD) – everything becomes an object in Kubernetes.
- Make the Airship control plane ephemeral.
To learn more about the Airship 2.0 evolution, reference the Airship blog series.
