ready-image

Kubernetes controller to keep the specified container images ready on every node. An updated version of warm-image using kube.

kind: ReadyImage
apiVersion: qualified.io/v1alpha1
metadata:
  name: example
  # namespace: readyimage-system
spec:
  image: "alpine:3.14"
  # imagePullSecrets:
  #   - name: secret
  # nodeSelector:
  #   readyImage: 'true'

Creating the above resource creates a DaemonSet with the specified image that does nothing.

Usage

TBD

TODO?

Instead of creating a new DaemonSet when image is updated, patch the existing DaemonSet?

Instead of using initContainers to copy sleeper into a memfs volume, create ConfigMap with binaryData and mount that as an executable? hang is about 14KB.

YAML

kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: hang
  namespace: default
binaryData:
  hang: '...'

  - name: hang
    mountPath: /hang
    subPath: hang
