GitLab Kubernetes / OpenShift integration

GitLab can be configured to interact with Kubernetes, or other systems using the Kubernetes API (such as OpenShift).

Each project can be configured to connect to a different Kubernetes cluster, see the configuration section.

If you have a single cluster that you want to use for all your projects, you can pre-fill the settings page with a default template. To configure the template, see the Services Templates document.

Configuration

Kubernetes configuration settings

The Kubernetes service takes the following arguments:

  1. Kubernetes namespace
  2. API URL
  3. Service token
  4. Custom CA bundle

The API URL is the URL that GitLab uses to access the Kubernetes API. Kubernetes exposes several APIs - we want the "base" URL that is common to all of them, e.g., https://kubernetes.example.com rather than https://kubernetes.example.com/api/v1.

GitLab authenticates against Kubernetes using service tokens, which are scoped to a particular namespace. If you don't have a service token yet, you can follow the Kubernetes documentation to create one. You can also view or create service tokens in the Kubernetes dashboard - visit Config -> Secrets.

Fill in the service token and namespace according to the values you just got. If the API is using a self-signed TLS certificate, you'll also need to include the ca.crt contents as the Custom CA bundle.
