Automation
For purposes of automation, it is strongly recommended that users create and manage Fleet Plans and manage various operations of clusters. This is well suited for scenarios where the multiple cluster requires a set of similar operations
A Fleet Plan can be created and managed via two automation methods:
- RCTL CLI
- Swagger API
Fleet Plan Automation Lifecycle¶
Create and Execute Fleet Plan¶
Command to create and run the Fleet Plan
./rctl apply -f <fleetplan_filename.yaml>
Below is an example of yaml file to create a Fleet Plan named demo_fleetplan with the configuration details provided in Step 1
kind: FleetPlan
apiVersion: infra.k8smgmt.io/v3
metadata:

project: fleetpro2

Another example provided below illustrates the creation of a Fleet Plan with a GPU-based posthook and actions to update the blueprint.

image: cemizm/tf-benchmark-gpu
agents:

Important
Users can leverage the Fleet Plan only with V3 configuration
Execute Fleet Plan¶
To execute a fleet plan, use the below command
./rctl execute fleetplan <fleetplan_name> --v3
Example
./rctl execute fleetplan rctl-june6th-2ops --v3
{"metadata":{"name":"2023-06-07-12-46-19","createdAt":"2023-06-07T12:46:19Z","modifiedAt":"2023-06-07T12:46:19Z","ID":"dk6vw21"},"fleet_plan_id":"dkgyrkx","workflow_id":"01H2AY9JC8WYPNZJCXHCYJW5M2","state":"pending"}%
Get Fleet Plan¶
Use this command to retrieve a specific fleet plan detailed information
./rctl get fp <fleetplan_name> --v3
Below is the illustrative example of the "upgrade202023" fleetplan information:
./rctl get fp upgrade202023 --v3
+----------------+-------------------------------------+-----------+
| FLEETPLAN NAME | FLEET LABELS | STATUS |
+----------------+-------------------------------------+-----------+
| upgrade202023 | {"org":"rafay","team":"cloud-engg"} | completed |
+----------------+-------------------------------------+-----------+
You can use the below commands to get more information of the fleetplan in json or yaml format
./rctl get fp <fleetplan_name> --v3 -o json
(or)
./rctl get fp <fleetplan_name> --v3 -o yaml
Example
./rctl get fp upgrade202023 --v3 -o yaml
apiVersion: infra.k8smgmt.io/v3
kind: FleetPlan
metadata:

project: fleetproj4

./rctl get fleetplans --v3

Get Targets of a Fleet Plan Job¶
Run the below command to get targets of a fleet plan job
./rctl gettargets fleetplan demo-fleetplan
./rctl gettargets fleetplan demo-fleetplan
{"items":[{"status":"fail","reason":"timeout waiting for agent to ack","resource":{"name":"kalyan-eks-privatep","project":"kalyanfleetproj4"}},{"status":"fail","reason":"timeout waiting for agent to ack","resource":{"name":"kalyan-fleetimp1","project":"kalyanfleetproj4"}}],"statusCount":{"failCount":2},"metadata":{"count":2,"limit":10}}%
Get Jobs in a Fleet Plan¶
Use the below command to get the fleet job details
/rctl getjobs fleetplan <tfleeplan_name>

Get Fleet Plan Status¶
Use the below command to know the status of a fleet plan
./rctl status fleetplan <fleetplan_name>
Delete Fleet Plan¶
Run the below command to delete a fleet plan
./rctl delete fp <fleetplan_name> --v3
A set of comprehensive APIs are available that enable the users to seamlessly create, execute, retrieve fleet plan details, and delete fleet plans
Access the OpenAPI Explorer to view and leverage the Fleet Plan v3 APIs. Provide the project and name of the resource wherever required and execute.
