Project Summary

A Kubernetes controller to watch changes in ConfigMap and Secrets and do rolling upgrades on Pods with their associated Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet and DeploymentConfig

Project Description

The problem Reloader addresses is that you would like to watch if some change happens in a ConfigMap or Secret, and then perform a rolling upgrade on the relevant DeploymentConfig, Deployment, Daemonset, Statefulset, and Rollout. Reloader can watch changes in ConfigMap and Secret objects and do rolling upgrades on Pods with their associated DeploymentConfigs, Deployments, Daemonsets, Statefulsets, and Rollouts.

IP Policy

• If the project is accepted, I agree the project will follow the CNCF IP Policy

Trademark and accounts

• If the project is accepted, I agree to donate all project trademarks and accounts to the CNCF

Why CNCF?

The CNCF can provide the project with wider adoption and community collaboration, further simplifying and enhancing updates of Kubernetes resources when secrets or configurations change in Kubernetes environments.

Benefit to the Landscape

Reloader uniquely addresses the problem of doing rolling updates of Kubernetes resources when configurations or secrets change.

Cloud Native 'Fit'

Reloader has become integral to thousands of Kubernetes deployments since it serves a fundamental architectural gap. It is built on Go and fits well into cloud-native by being fully focused on Kubernetes.

Cloud Native 'Integration'

Reloader integrates closely with Kubernetes.

Cloud Native Overlap

Small overlap with https://github.com/fabric8io/configmapcontroller which hasn't been updated in the last five years.

Business Product or Service to Project separation

Stakater Reloader is available in an open-source version as well as an Enterprise version. The functionality is currently the same for both the open-source version and the Enterprise version.

The Reloader Enterprise version is different from the open-source version in that it is:

• Security-hardened
  • Certified by Stakater - an internal certification process that includes:
    • Quality assurance from code perspective
    • Quality assurance from supply chain perspective
    • Certified images is published to a private registry, which you gain access to with the
      purchase
• Delivered with dedicated support
• Delivered with dedicated resources to prioritize implementation of unique feature requests
  • All unique feature requests will still be open-sourced, but delivery will be prioritized

Please open a presentation issue with TAG security so that we can provide the TAG review. It may be useful to perform a self assessment before the presentation.

[TheFoxAtWork]

Some questions:

• The repo appears to be some less active, not many changes occurring. Is this project near feature complete/stable?
• what is stakater-user in relation to this repo?
• When is SHA1 going to be replaced with SHA2? SHA1 was deprecated in 2011.
• The project roadmap doesnt detail much future direction for the project, are there plans to extend the project beyond its current capabilities?

Actions:

• please complete the remaining fields on the application, in particular:
  • the business product and service separation as the project's repo indicates enterprise level support available by the same name.
  • Cloud native fit

[rchincha]

Don't Kubernetes' default controller already do what is described here? What additional functionality is being added/proposed? Other triggers other than k8s image field? How are reverts happening etc.

• The contributor guide is basic.
• The project has no written governance, yet.
• The roadmap is a Github project board and appears to be very new.
• There are 5 maintainers, whose employer affiliation is not clear. Two of these maintainers appear to be currently active.
