Configuration reference
This document contains a reference of the Kubitect configuration file in four sections and documents all possible configuration properties.
The configuration sections are as follows:
kubitect- Project metadata.hosts- A list of physical hosts (local or remote).cluster- Configuration of the cluster infrastructure. Virtual machine properties, node types to install, and the host on which to install the nodes.kubernetes- Kubernetes and Kubespray configuration.plugins- Configurable plugins and applications.
Each configuration property is documented with 5 columns: Property name, description, type, default value and is the property required.
Note
[*] annotates an array.
