Components Composition

You can combine as many Components as you need in a single Environment, regardless of their kind.

Let's take an example:

  • payments-service to deploy a Helm Chart containing all what is needed for this microservice to run
  • checkout_proxy to deploy a Kubernetes manifest containing a simple proxy service
  • frontend-checkout to deploy a static application
  • admin-internal to deploy a monolith app which uses Docker-compose for local development
  • nginx to deploy the gateway of the Environment
  • mysql to deploy a Database
  • cloud-run-workers to deploy a batch processing job in any other place than Kubernetes
  • object-storage to create an S3 bucket to store compile reports
...
components:

  - kind: Helm
    name: payments-service
    ...

  - kind: KubernetesMafinest
    name: checkout-proxy
    ...

  - kind: StaticApplication
    name: frontend-checkout

  • Database
  • StaticApplication
  • InitContainer
  • SidecarContainer

Please read the specific Components documentation for details on each.

gitRepo

The gitRepo property in a YAML file serves as a reference to a Git repository. It allows you to define the URL of the repository where your source code is hosted. The format of the values should be in the https:// format for Git repositories. Additionally, if the git:// format is provided, it will be automatically converted to the https:// format for compatibility.

Depending on component type, the repository will either be:

  • for Helm, KubernetesManifest, Terraform and GenericComponents - cloned into the runner which is in charge of executing the deploy / destroy / start / stop workflows, so you can leverage files from within the repository in executing the workflows
  • for Docker-compose Components and DockerImage - used to build the image

For all Components, Bunnyshell will install a webhook so the Git Provider will notify Bunnyshell of the activity from within the repo. Currently, Pull Request create & close events are tracked, as well as commit pushes - for creating/destroying ephemerals, respectively updating Environments.

gitBranch

The branch for the Git repository. A commit sha or tag can also be specified.

gitApplicationPath

The path within the repository. Very important for detecting updates on applications in monorepos, as for a given Component, activity on other paths is ignored.

      description: Path where the docker build will be ran
    dockerfile:
      type: string

pod

Allows to enhance the Pod specification with Kubernetes-native concepts: Init & Sidecar containers.

You would use Init Containers when handling initialization tasks, such as changing permissions on folders within a volume.
You would use Sidecar containers to group containers to run in a single Pod, in order to share files or use the same localhost.

pod:
  init_containers:
    type: array
    required: false
    description: The components of kind InitContainer that will run as an initContainer in this pod along with the main component
  sidecar_containers:
    type: array
    required: false
    description: The components of kind SidecarContainer that will run as an containers in this pod along with the main component

Example

Let's take an example which would use some volumes and mount them in the init and sidecar containers, respectively. shared_paths and volumes attributes on the pod.[*].init_container and pod.[*].sidecar_container will be explained separately.

The container init-fronted-custom-name will run before the actual container example is started.

The container sidecar-backend-custom-name will run alongside example, in the same Pod.

volumes:
  -
    name: node-modules-cache
    type: disk
    size: 1Gi
  -
    name: backend-sessions
    type: disk
    size: 1Gi
    
components:
  - name: example
    kind: Application
    ...
    pod:
      init_containers:
        -
          from: init-frontend
          name: init-fronted-custom-name
          environment:
              NODE_ENV: production
         shared_paths:
           -
             path: /opt/frontend/public

          from: sidecar-backend
          name: sidecar-backend-custom-name
          environment:
            COMPOSER_HOME: /opt/.composer
          shared_paths:
            -
              path: /opt/backend/.etc/nginx/config
              target:

                container: '@parent'
              initial_contents: '@self'
          volumes:
            -

See pod.init_containers.[*], the definition is identical for sidecar and init containers.

cronJobs

Allow configuring CronJobs for the component.

The Pod spawned by the CronJob will have the same spec as the Pod of the component, including Kubernetes resources and volumes.

The main component container will always be present, and additional containers can be included in the Pod from the sidecar / init containers.

Volumes can be excluded from the Pod. All volumes used in a CronJob must be network type.

The command is for the component's main container.

The schedule is the Kubernetes syntax for schedule.

CronJobs can be configured for Init- and SidecarContainers as well. This allows to configure a cron from a component that isn't always running in the cluster. When using the Init- or SidecarContainer in a component.pod the configured cronJobs are not carried over.
