Overview

The execution phase is implemented as a Run Job (Manifest) stage.

⚠️ Make sure you use Run Job (Manifest) and NOT Deploy (Manifest)!

Run Job (Manifest) only accepts Job manifests, so a ConfigMap to specify the script cannot be used. The functionality must be already present in the container image and can be controlled via command and arguments. The stage will deploy the job manifest and wait until it completes, thus gating the pipeline’s continuation on the job’s success or failure. The stage may optionally collect the Job output and inject it back into the pipeline. The Job will be automatically deleted upon completion.

Run Job (Manifest) Definition

Add a "Run Job (Manifest)" stage and name it "Script Job" or similar.

The Account is the target Kubernetes cluster.

In Manifest Configuration. set Manifest Source: Text, and use the following manifest. Replace 'REPLACE-WITH-TARGET-NAMESPACE-NAME' with the target namespace for the Job.

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
  name: script-job
  namespace: REPLACE-WITH-TARGET-NAMESPACE-NAME
spec:
  backoffLimit: 2
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
        - command:
            - kubectl
            - version
          image: 'bitnami/kubectl:1.12'
          name: script
      restartPolicy: Never

Viewing Execution Logs

https://spinnaker.io/docs/guides/user/kubernetes-v2/run-job-manifest/#viewing-execution-logs

The job execution log is captured and can be accessed in the pipeline Execution Details → Run Job Config → Logs → Console Output.

If the Spinnaker instance is configured as such, logs can be forwarded to dedicated infrastructure.
