Overview

m8s is a CLI and API for building temporary environments in Kubernetes.

Often in your CI/CD workflows, you want a real environment to run automated or manual tests. For example, you might want to preview changes you are making in a branch or Pull Request. m8s provides a simple tool for acheiving this. It takes a docker compose file, and translates that into a pod definition Kubernetes understands, and deploys it on Kubernetes. The pod is ephemeral, meaning it's not meant to stick around for long, and any data will be deleted once the pod is removed.

How this works

Caches

We can the following directories by default:

• Composer - /root/.composer
• Yarn - /usr/local/share/.cache/yarn

Development

Tools

• Dependency management - https://github.com/golang/dep
• Build - https://github.com/mitchellh/gox
• Linting - https://github.com/golang/lint
• GitHub Releases - https://github.com/tcnksm/ghr

Workflow

(While in the workspace directory)

Installing a new dependency

dep ensure -add github.com/foo/bar

Running quality checks

make lint test

Building binaries

make build

Release

Release artifacts are pushed to the github releases page when tagged properly. Use semantic versioning prefixed with v for version scheme. Examples:

• v1.0.0
• v1.1.0-beta1
