How to create a Function in Kubeark

Creating a Function in Kubeark involves a series of straightforward steps that allow users to set up and deploy functions efficiently. Below is a detailed guide on how to create a Function in Kubeark:

  1. Access the Functions Feature:
    • Navigate to the 'Automation' menu in the Kubeark platform.
    • From there, select 'Functions' to access the functions management area.
  2. Initiate Function Creation:
    • Click on the "Create Function" option. This action will bring up the interface for defining a new function.
  3. Configure Function Arguments:
    • General Details: A new window will appear for you to input the necessary details for your function. Here, you'll need to provide:
      • Name: Enter a unique and descriptive name for your function. This name should identify the function’s purpose or its primary action.
      • Description: Provide a brief yet comprehensive description of what the function does. This should include its role and any significant details regarding its operation.
      • Tags: Add relevant tags to categorize and organize your function, facilitating easier management and identification within the platform.
    • In the same window, you will also need to configure the settings for the Function Container Image. This includes:
      • Image: Specify the container deployment image. This is the image that contains the code or application your function will run.
    • Registry Authentication arguments (if required):
      • Registry: Enter the name of the registry where your container image is stored.
      • Auth Username: Provide the authentication username for accessing the registry.
      • Auth Password: Enter the authentication password associated with the username.
    • Container Requests:
      • CPU: Define the amount of CPU resources the function should use. This should align with the function's processing requirements.
      • Memory:: Specify the memory allocation for the function. This ensures the function has sufficient memory to operate efficiently.
  4. Save and Deploy the Function:
    • Once all the necessary information is inputted and configured, click on the β€œSave” button.
    • Your function will now be saved and deployed in Kubeark, ready to be integrated into your workflows or triggered as needed.
