You can integrate custom shell scripts into the Kamal deployment lifecycle by placing hook files in the .kamal/hooks directory. These scripts execute at specific points like pre-build, post-deploy, and proxy reboot sequences to manage infrastructure tasks.
Yes, Kamal deployment gating is possible by using pre-flight hooks to automatically abort deployments. You can configure custom scripts to check CI status or uncommitted git code changes before allowing the deployment process to proceed.
Kamal hooks are context-aware and utilize built-in environment variables during execution. These variables provide your custom scripts with specific details about the deployment, including the target version, destination host, and the user initiating the deploy.
You manage load balancer draining by triggering custom scripts during proxy reboot sequences in Kamal. This hook execution point allows you to handle APM registration and maintain zero-downtime load balancer management across diverse infrastructure environments.
Kamal supports post-deploy notifications and audit reporting by triggering custom scripts at specific lifecycle points. Utilizing standard Kamal hook conventions satisfies requirements for team notifications and CI/CD integration reporting after deployment completes.
