I just merged a PR that switches to CircleCI so you shouldn't hit the invalid-token issue anymore with this after rebasing onto master. |
This PR proposes the use of the kustomize included in `kubectl` instead of the third-party `helm` to deploy metrics-server. The way this works is roughly: 1. create a DOKS cluster (just like before) 1. clone `kubernetes-incubator/metrics-server` at a specific git ref 1. call `kubectl kustomize` in the `metrics-server` directory * this makes use of the `kustomization.yaml` file in the `metrics-server` directory * the `kustomization.yaml` file points at example deployment manifests in the cloned `kubernetes-incubator/metrics-server` directory * the `kustomization.yaml` patches the upstream example deployment manifests with settings similar to what came with the `helm` chart 1. just like before, wait until the `metrics-server` pod(s) are ready One major difference from the `helm` chart is that with `helm` it was easy to deploy `metrics-server` to its own namespace whereas the upstream example manifests on which the `kustomize` approach is based assume deployment in `kube-system`. It wasn't straightforward to use `kustomize` patches or bases to do something similar -- I'm sure it's possible, I just haven't found the minimal set of patches necessary yet.
