Reduce operational overhead of maintaining 3rd-party applications

It’s never been easier to configure and deploy 3rd-party k8s applications.

1

Pull in the chart you want

Begin by pulling in the chart from the upstream maintainer which will include the default values.yaml file.

2

Flexible installation

Add your custom values to the values.yaml that make it possible for your application to run.

These values will override the defaults in the upstream chart and your base directory is created.

3

Write your patch file

Patches give you the flexibility to overrite any values from the upstream chart. Say good bye to templating.

4

Let Ship do the hard work

Replicated Ship + Kustomize does the heavy lifting to merge your patch, and generate your Kubernetes YAML.

Ship is built to compliment any workflow

Replicated Ship is good for any workflow thanks to three powerful commands.

Ship init

Initialize an application by pulling in the chart and set up the base directory (generally run on a workstation).

  • Can pass in a GitHub repo (any helm, k8s, or knative repos have automatic support OR repo with a ship.yaml).
  • Can pass in a replicated.app URI with customer-id & instance-id for private applications.
  • Generates the state.json as well as base/overlay directories.

Ship watch

Observes an upstream repo or application for updates (best run as a CRD or in a cron type process).

  • Out of the box support for any public GitHub repo.
  • Can pass in a replicated.app URI with customer-id & instance-id for private applications.
  • Exits with status code 0 when an update is available.
  • Can trigger a CI job via a webhook.

Ship update

Pull the latest from the upstream repo, consumes state.json to generate the deployable assets.

  • Out of the box support for any public GitHub repo.
  • Can pass in a replicated.app URI with customer-id & instance-id for private applications.
  • Triggered by Ship watch.
  • Generally preceded by a `clone` and followed by a pull request for review.

Ship + Helm + Kustomize

Replicated ship was built with first-class support for Helm charts designed to automate the “last-mile” of custom configuration via Kustomize. In addition you can now do things like support GitOps in your cluster, provide messaging in your lifecycle and so much more.
