Kubernetes

So a while ago I wrote a post about consuming kubernetes events using Bento’s etcd component. Whilst that could be possible, it certainly isn’t ideal. Since then we have had a great contribution with the kubernetes_watch input component. Here’s a quick guide to spinning it up to serve as a ‘Part 2’ to Kubernetes Events -> Bento! Boot up minikube minikube start minikube start will start a minikube cluster & update your kube config, in the default location of ~/.kube/config. Bento will look for the kube config in this default location - and use it to connect to the k8s API. ...

A while back we had a request for a “kubernetes events input” for the data streaming tool Bento - at the time an etcd input connector was being worked on and because kubernetes uses etcd as the default datastore, the etcd input component should enable streaming kubernetes events. This blog post walks through the steps to connect a minikube based local kubernetes cluster’s etcd with Bento. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ THIS FOR DEV/TESTING ONLY - EXPOSING ETCD LIKE THIS IS A SECURITY RISK ...
