Loading custom Chart version for Shift

Loading custom Chart version for Shift sub-services​

Scope:  How to load a specific "chart" and "version" overriding the default Chart package for a KOBIL Shift service.

By default the KOBIL Shift operator will use the configuration parameters "registry", "repository", "chart" and "version" (see Shift Chart package - file <root>/version.yaml). To load a custom "chart" and "version" it is required to customize the configuration so the Shift operator will use that custom chart & version.

Here is the default Shift metaconfiguration file "values.yaml" for section "IDP"(idpCore):

Default values.yaml

# -- Configuration for idp-core
idpCore:
  enabled: true
  repository: https://charts.kobil.com
  replicaCount: 1

Customized "values.yaml" with custom "chart" and "version" parameter:

Set specific component chart version

# -- Configuration for idp-core
idpCore:
  enabled: true
  chart: idp-core-custom
  version: 1.22.0-rc.234567
  repository: https://custom.repo.net
  replicaCount: 1

Then run the "helm upgrade" for the Shift-package which is loading the new custom chart "idp-core-custom" instead of default "idpCore" and with the custom version "1.22.0-rc.234567". Validate the loaded "chart" and "version" by checking the KOBIL CRDs "servicegroups". This should display "chart" and "version" when customization is successfully implemented:

Validate ServiceGroups configuration

# check for the KOBIL servicegroup CRD

kubectl get servicegroups
