Advanced Inventory Features

Target labels

Kapitan allows you to define labels in your inventory, which can then be used to group together targets with similar labels.

For instance you could define the following:

Defines a class to add the customer label to selected targets

inventory/classes/type/customer_project.yml

parameters:
  customer_name: ${target_name} # Defaults to the target_name
  kapitan:
    labels:
      customer: ${customer_name}

Apply the class to the target for customer acme

inventory/targets/customers/acme.yml

classes:
...
- type.customer_project

parameters:
...

You can now selectively compile targets for customer acme using the following (see see Labels for more details )

kapitan compile -l customer=acme
Compiled acme (0.06s)
Compiled acme-documentation (0.09s)
