Is there a simple way to create a configuration object for the Python Kubernetes client by passing a variable containing the YAML of the kubeconfig?
It's fairly easy to do something like:
from kubernetes import client, config, watch
def main():
config.load_kube_config()
or
from kubernetes import client, config, watch
def main():
config.load_incluster_config()
But I will like to create the config based on a variable with the YAML kubeconfig, Let's say I have:
k8s_config = yaml.safe_load('''
apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- cluster:
insecure-skip-tls-verify: true
server: https://asdf.asdf:443
name: cluster
contexts:
- context:
cluster: cluster
user: admin
name: admin
current-context: admin
kind: Config
preferences: {}
users:
- name: admin
user:
client-certificate-data: LS0tVGYUZiL2sxZlRFTkQgQ0VSVElGSUNBVEUtLS0tLQo=
client-key-data: LS0tLS1CRUdJTiBSU0EgU0tLUVORCBSU0EgUFJJVkFURSBLRVktLS0tLQo=
''')
And I will like to load it as:
config.KubeConfigLoader(k8s_config)The reason for this is that I can't store the content of the kubeconfig before loading the config.
The error I'm receiving is: "Error: module 'kubernetes.config' has no attribute 'KubeConfigLoader'"
They don't include KubeConfigLoader in the "pull up" inside config/__init__.py, which is why your kubernetes.config.KubeConfigLoader reference isn't working. You will have to reach into the implementation package and reference the class specifically:
from kubernetes.config.kube_config import KubeConfigLoader
k8s_config = yaml.safe_load('''...''')
config = KubeConfigLoader(
config_dict=k8s_config,
config_base_path=None)Be aware that unlike most of my answers, I didn't actually run this one, but that's the theory
