SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manage app configuration files in native formats and render them as Kubernetes ConfigMaps via ConfigHub, with revision history and mutability controls.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Author app configs as versioned ConfigHub Units
  • Render as Kubernetes ConfigMaps via the ConfigMapRenderer bridge
  • Validate with vet-jsonschema and mutate values with set-*-path

Quick Start

Provide a path to a config file to turn into a ConfigHub Unit and render a ConfigMap in the cluster.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert application configuration files into Kubernetes ConfigMaps with version history?

To convert application configuration files into versioned Kubernetes ConfigMaps, this Skill authors them as ConfigHub Units and renders them via the ConfigMapRenderer bridge. It manages native config formats and tracks revision history for deployments.

Can I validate and mutate application configuration values before deploying them to a Kubernetes cluster?

Yes, you can validate and mutate application configuration values before deployment. The Skill uses vet-jsonschema for validation and enables value mutation through set-*-path operations before rendering the final Kubernetes ConfigMap.

Does the app-config workflow support multiple configuration file formats like YAML, JSON, and .env?

The app-config workflow supports multiple configuration file formats including .env, .properties, YAML, JSON, TOML, INI, and TXT. These native formats are converted into versioned ConfigHub Units for Kubernetes deployment.

Do I need a running ConfigHub server to render Kubernetes ConfigMaps from my application configurations?

Yes, a running ConfigHub server is required to render Kubernetes ConfigMaps. The full workflow requires unit creation, target setup, and binding to workloads to properly operate the configuration deployment pipeline.

How does wiring Needs and Provides connections work when managing Kubernetes ConfigMaps?

Needs and Provides wiring enables dynamic mutation and dependency management for Kubernetes ConfigMaps. This mechanism connects versioned ConfigHub Units, allowing configuration values to be systematically updated and routed before cluster deployment.
