This document provides a reference of the Nuclio function configuration.
The basic structure of the Nuclio function configuration resembles Kubernetes resource definitions, and includes the apiVersion
, kind
, metadata
, spec
, and status
sections. Following is an example of a minimal definition:
apiVersion: "nuclio.io/v1"
kind: NuclioFunction
metadata:
name: example
spec:
image: example:latest
The metadata
section includes the following attributes:
Path | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
name | string | The name of the function |
namespace | string | A level of isolation provided by the platform (e.g., Kubernetes) |
labels | map | A list of key-value tags that are used for looking up the function (immutable, can't update after first deployment) |
annotations | map | A list of annotations based on the key-value tags |
metadata:
name: example
namespace: nuclio
labels:
l1: lv1
l2: lv2
l3: 100
annotations:
a1: av1
The spec
section contains the requirements and attributes and has the following elements:
Path | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
description | string | A textual description of the function |
handler | string | The entry point to the function, in the form of package:entrypoint ; varies slightly between runtimes, see the appropriate runtime documentation for specifics |
runtime | string | The name of the language runtime - golang | python | shell | java | nodejs | pypy |
image | string | The name of the function's container image — used for the image code-entry type; see Code-Entry Types |
env | map | A name-value environment-variables tuple; it's also possible to reference secrets from the map elements, as demonstrated in the specifcation example |
volumes | map | A map in an architecture similar to Kubernetes volumes, for Docker deployment |
replicas | int | The number of desired instances; 0 for auto-scaling. |
minReplicas | int | The minimum number of replicas |
platform.attributes.restartPolicy.name | string | The name of the restart policy for the function-image container; applicable only to Docker platforms |
platform.attributes.restartPolicy.maximumRetryCount | int | The maximum retries for restarting the function-image container; applicable only to Docker platforms |
platform.attributes.processorMountMode | string | Processor mount mode, which determines how Docker mounts the processor configuration - bind | volume (default: bind ); applicable only to Docker platforms |
maxReplicas | int | The maximum number of replicas |
targetCPU | int | Target CPU when auto scaling, as a percentage (default: 75%) |
dataBindings | See reference | A map of data sources used by the function ("data bindings") |
triggers.(name).maxWorkers | int | The max number of concurrent requests this trigger can process |
triggers.(name).kind | string | The trigger type (kind) - cron | eventhub | http | kafka-cluster | kinesis | nats | rabbit-mq |
triggers.(name).url | string | The trigger specific URL (not used by all triggers) |
triggers.(name).annotations | list of strings | Annotations to be assigned to the trigger, if applicable |
triggers.(name).workerAvailabilityTimeoutMilliseconds | int | The number of milliseconds to wait for a worker if one is not available. 0 = never wait (default: 10000, which is 10 seconds) |
triggers.(name).attributes | See reference | The per-trigger attributes |
build.path | string | The URL of a GitHub repository or an archive-file that contains the function code — for the github or archive code-entry type — or the URL of a function source-code file; see Code-Entry Types |
build.functionSourceCode | string | Base-64 encoded function source code for the sourceCode code-entry type; see Code-Entry Types |
build.registry | string | The container image repository to which the built image will be pushed |
build.noBaseImagePull | string | Do not pull any base images when building, use local images only |
build.noCache | string | Do not use any caching when building container images |
build.baseImage | string | The name of a base container image from which to build the function's processor image |
build.Commands | list of string | Commands run opaquely as part of container image build |
build.onbuildImage | string | The name of an "onbuild" container image from which to build the function's processor image; the name can include {{ .Label }} and {{ .Arch }} for formatting |
build.image | string | The name of the built container image (default: the function name) |
build.codeEntryType | string | The function's code-entry type - archive | github | image | s3 | sourceCode ; see Code-Entry Types |
build.codeEntryAttributes | See reference | Code-entry attributes, which provide information for downloading the function when using the github , s3 , or archive code-entry type |
runRegistry | string | The container image repository from which the platform will pull the image |
runtimeAttributes | See reference | Runtime-specific attributes |
resources | See reference | Limit resources allocated to deployed function |
readinessTimeoutSeconds | int | Number of seconds that the controller will wait for the function to become ready before declaring failure (default: 60) |
avatar | string | Base64 representation of an icon to be shown in UI for the function |
eventTimeout | string | Global event timeout, in the format supported for the Duration parameter of the time.ParseDuration Go function |
securityContext.runAsUser | int | The user ID (UID) for runing the entry point of the container process |
securityContext.runAsGroup | int | The group ID (GID) for running the entry point of the container process |
securityContext.fsGroup | int | A supplemental group to add and use for running the entry point of the container process |
