This project provides an implementation of [Discovery Client](https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-commons/blob/master/spring-cloud-commons/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/client/discovery/DiscoveryClient.java) for [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io). This allows you to query Kubernetes endpoints *(see [services](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/services/))* by name.
A service is typically exposed by the Kubernetes API server as a collection of endpoints which represent `http`, `https` addresses that a client can
access from a Spring Boot application running as a pod. This discovery feature is also used by the Spring Cloud Kubernetes Ribbon or Zipkin projects
to fetch respectively the list of the endpoints defined for an application to be load balanced or the Zipkin servers available to send the traces or spans.

### Kubernetes PropertySource
The most common approach to configure your spring boot application is to edit the `application.yaml` file. Often the user may override properties by specifying system properties or env variables.
The most common approach to configure your Spring Boot application is to create an `application.properties|yaml` or
an `application-profile.properties|yaml` file containing key-value pairs providing customization values to your
application or Spring Boot starters. Users may override these properties by specifying system properties or environment
variables.
#### ConfigMap PropertySource
Kubernetes has the notion of [ConfigMap](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/configmap/) for passing configuration to the application. This project provides integration with `ConfigMap` to make config maps accessible by spring boot.
Kubernetes provides a resource named [ConfigMap](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/configmap/) to externalize the
parameters to pass to your application in the form of key-value pairs or embedded `application.properties|yaml` files.
The [Spring Cloud Kubernetes Config](./spring-cloud-kubernetes-config) project makes Kubernetes `ConfigMap`s available
during application bootstrapping and triggers hot reloading of beans or Spring context when changes are detected on
observed `ConfigMap`s.
The `ConfigMap` `PropertySource` when enabled will lookup Kubernetes for a `ConfigMap` named after the application (see `spring.application.name`). If the map is found it will read its data and do the following:
`ConfigMapPropertySource` will search for a Kubernetes `ConfigMap` which `metadata.name` is either the name of
your Spring application (as defined by its `spring.application.name` property) or a custom name defined within the
`bootstrap.properties` file under the following key `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.name`.
If such a `ConfigMap` is found, it will be processed as follows:
- apply individual configuration properties.
- apply as yaml the content of any property named `application.yaml`
- apply as `yaml` the content of any property named `application.yaml`
- apply as properties file the content of any property named `application.properties`
Example:
Let's assume that we have a spring boot application named ``demo`` that uses properties to read its thread pool configuration.

Spring Boot applications can also be configured differently depending on active profiles and it is possible to
provide different property values for different profiles using an `application.properties|yaml` property, specifying
profile-specific values each in their own document (indicated by the `---` sequence) as follows:
```yaml
kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: demo
data:
application.yml: |-
greeting:
message: Say Hello to the World
---
spring:
profiles: development
greeting:
message: Say Hello to the Developers
---
spring:
profiles: production
greeting:
message: Say Hello to the Ops
```
To tell to Spring Boot which `profile` should be enabled at bootstrap, a system property can be passed to the Java
command launching your Spring Boot application using an env variable that you will define with the OpenShift
`DeploymentConfig` or Kubernetes `ReplicationConfig` resource file as follows:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: DeploymentConfig

replicas: 1

containers:
- env:
- name: JAVA_APP_DIR

Please note that by default, consuming Secrets via API (points 2 and 3 above) **is not enabled** for security reasons

- `pg.password`
```
oc create secret generic db-secret --from-literal=username=user --from-literal=password=p455w0rd

Note that the data contains Base64-encoded versions of the literal provided by the create command.

#### PropertySource Reload
Some applications may need to detect changes on external property sources and update their internal status to reflect the new configuration.
The reload feature of Spring Cloud Kubernetes is able to trigger an application reload when a related ConfigMap or Secret change.
The reload feature of Spring Cloud Kubernetes is able to trigger an application reload when a related `ConfigMap` or
`Secret` changes.
This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled using the configuration property `spring.cloud.kubernetes.reload.enabled=true`
(eg. in the *application.properties* file).
The following levels of reload are supported (property `spring.cloud.kubernetes.reload.strategy`):
- **refresh (default)**: only configuration beans annotated with `@ConfigurationProperties` or `@RefreshScope` are reloaded.
- **`refresh` (default)**: only configuration beans annotated with `@ConfigurationProperties` or `@RefreshScope` are reloaded.
This reload level leverages the refresh feature of Spring Cloud Context.
- **restart_context**: the whole Spring _ApplicationContext_ is gracefully restarted. Beans are recreated with the new configuration.
- **shutdown**: the Spring _ApplicationContext_ is shut down to activate a restart of the container.
- **`restart_context`**: the whole Spring _ApplicationContext_ is gracefully restarted. Beans are recreated with the new configuration.
- **`shutdown`**: the Spring _ApplicationContext_ is shut down to activate a restart of the container.
When using this level, make sure that the lifecycle of all non-daemon threads is bound to the ApplicationContext
and that a replication controller or replica set is configured to restart the pod.

Assuming that the reload feature is enabled with default settings (*refresh* mode), the following bean will be refreshed when the config map changes:

The ribbon discovery client can be disabled by setting `spring.cloud.kubernetes.ribbon.enabled=false`.
When the list of the endpoints is populated, the Kubernetes client will search the registered endpoints living in
the current namespace/project matching the service name defined using the Ribbon Client annotation:
By default the client will detect all endpoints with the configured *client name* that lives in the current namespace.
If the endpoint contains multiple ports, the first port will be used. To fine tune the name of the desired port (if the service is a multiport service) or fine tune the namespace you can use one of the following properties.
```java
@RibbonClient(name = "name-service")
```
- `KubernetesNamespace`
- `PortName`
You can configure Ribbon's behavior by providing properties in your `application.properties` (via your application's
dedicated `ConfigMap`) using the following format: `<name of your service>.ribbon.<Ribbon configuration key>` where:
- `<name of your service>` corresponds to the service name you're accessing over Ribbon, as configured using the
`@RibbonClient` annotation (e.g. `name-service` in the example above)
- `<Ribbon configuration key` is one of the Ribbon configuration key defined by
[Ribbon's CommonClientConfigKey class](https://github.com/Netflix/ribbon/blob/master/ribbon-core/src/main/java/com/netflix/client/config/CommonClientConfigKey.java)
Additionally, the `spring-cloud-kubernetes-ribbon` project defines two additional configuration keys to further
control how Ribbon interacts with Kubernetes. In particular, if an endpoint defines multiple ports, the default
behavior is to use the first one found. To select more specifically which port to use, in a multi-port service, use
the `PortName` key. If you want to specify in which Kubernetes' namespace the target service should be looked up, use
the `KubernetesNamespace` key, remembering in both instances to prefix these keys with your service name and
`ribbon` prefix as specified above.
