fleet.yaml

The fleet.yaml file adds options to a bundle. Any directory with a fleet.yaml is automatically turned into bundle.

For more information on how to use the fleet.yaml to customize bundles see Git Repository Contents.

The content of the fleet.yaml corresponds to https://github.com/rancher/fleet/blob/main/pkg/bundlereader/read.go#L129-L135, which contains the BundleSpec.

Reference​

fleet.yaml
# The default namespace to be applied to resources. This field is not used to
# enforce or lock down the deployment to a specific namespace, but instead
# provide the default value of the namespace field if one is not specified
# in the manifests.
# Default: default
defaultNamespace: default

# All resources will be assigned to this namespace and if any cluster scoped
# resource exists the deployment will fail.
# Default: ""
namespace: default

# Optional map of labels, that are set at the bundle and can be used in a
# dependsOn.selector
labels:
key: value

kustomize:
# Use a custom folder for kustomize resources. This folder must contain
# a kustomization.yaml file.
dir: ./kustomize

helm:
# Use a custom location for the Helm chart. This can refer to any go-getter URL or
# OCI registry based helm chart URL e.g. "oci://ghcr.io/fleetrepoci/guestbook".
# This allows one to download charts from most any location. Also know that
# go-getter URL supports adding a digest to validate the download. If repo
# is set below this field is the name of the chart to lookup
chart: ./chart
# A https URL to a Helm repo to download the chart from. It's typically easier
# to just use `chart` field and refer to a tgz file. If repo is used the
# value of `chart` will be used as the chart name to lookup in the Helm repository.
repo: https://charts.rancher.io
# A custom release name to deploy the chart as. If not specified a release name
# will be generated by combining the invoking GitRepo.name + GitRepo.path.
releaseName: my-release
# Makes helm skip the check for its own annotations
takeOwnership: false
# The version of the chart or semver constraint of the chart to find. If a constraint
# is specified it is evaluated each time git changes.
# The version also determines which chart to download from OCI registries.
version: 0.1.0
# Any values that should be placed in the `values.yaml` and passed to helm during
# install.
values:
any-custom: value
# All labels on Rancher clusters are available using global.fleet.clusterLabels.LABELNAME
# These can now be accessed directly as variables
# The variable's value will be an empty string if the referenced cluster label does not
# exist on the targeted cluster
variableName: global.fleet.clusterLabels.LABELNAME
# It is possible to specify the keys and values as go template strings for
# advanced templating needs. Most of the functions from the sprig templating
# library are available. However, the `uuidv4` function is not supported.
# The template context has following keys.
# `.ClusterValues` are retrieved from target cluster's `spec.templateValues`
# `.ClusterLabels` and `.ClusterAnnotations` are the labels and annoations in the cluster resource.
# `.ClusterName` as the fleet's cluster resource name.
# `.ClusterNamespace` as the namespace in which the cluster resource exists.
# Note: The fleet.yaml must be valid yaml. Templating uses ${ } as delims,
# unlike helm which uses {{ }}.

# A paused bundle will not update downstream clusters but instead mark the bundle

# the downstream clusters.
# Default: false

rolloutStrategy:
# A number or percentage of clusters that can be unavailable during an update
# of a bundle. This follows the same basic approach as a deployment rollout
# strategy. Once the number of clusters meets unavailable state update will be
# paused. Default value is 100% which doesn't take effect on update.
# default: 100%
maxUnavailable: 15%
# A number or percentage of cluster partitions that can be unavailable during
# an update of a bundle.
# default: 0
maxUnavailablePartitions: 20%
# A number of percentage of how to automatically partition clusters if not
# specific partitioning strategy is configured.
# default: 25%
autoPartitionSize: 10%
# A list of definitions of partitions. If any target clusters do not match
# the configuration they are added to partitions at the end following the
# autoPartitionSize.
partitions:
# A user friend name given to the partition used for Display (optional).
# default: ""
- name: canary
# A number or percentage of clusters that can be unavailable in this
# partition before this partition is treated as done.

# If using raw YAML these are names that map to overlays/{name} that will be used

# then a file ./overlays/myoverlay/subdir/resource.yaml will replace the base file.
# A file named ./overlays/myoverlay/subdir/resource_patch.yaml will patch the base file.
# A patch can in JSON Patch or JSON Merge format or a strategic merge patch for builtin
# Kubernetes types. Refer to "Raw YAML Resource Customization" below for more information.

# dependsOn allows you to configure dependencies to other bundles. The current bundle
