# Drone Kubernetes
This drone kubernetes plugin does the equivalent of:
```
kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
```
If the deployment does not exists, it will be created.
The advantages of this plugin is that the ```deployment.yaml``` file can be a template file. We are able to substitute values like ```{{ build.number }}``` inside the file so you can update docker image names.
Basic example:
```yaml
pipeline:
deploy:
image: vallard/drone-kube
template: deployment.yaml
```
Example configuration with non-default namespace:
```diff
pipeline:
kube:
image: vallard/drone-kube
template: deployment.yaml
+ namespace: mynamespace
```
You can also specify the server in the configuration as well. It could alternatively be specified as an environment variable as shown in the next section.
```diff
pipeline:
kubernetes:
image: vallard/drone-kube
template: deployment.yaml
+ namespace: mynamespace
+ server: https://10.93.234.28:6433
```
## Secrets
The kube plugin supports reading credentials from the Drone secret store. This is strongly recommended instead of storing credentials in the pipeline configuration in plain text.
The following secrets should be set:
__KUBE_TOKEN__ This plugin has one authentication method and that is to use the token to authorize the user.
__KUBE_CA__ This should be the base64 encoding of your certificate authority. You can get this string by running the command:
```
export KUBE_CA=$(cat ca.pem | base64)
```
__KUBE_SERVER__ This is the server url for your kubernetes cluster. e.g: https://10.99.2.1:6443
## Template Reference
