Proxy Friendly Operators

Proxy-friendly Operators should inspect their environment for the standard proxy variables (HTTPS_PROXY, HTTP_PROXY, and NO_PROXY) and pass the values to Operands.

Example:

  1. - name: start proxy-test job
  2.   kubernetes.core.k8s:
  3.     definition:
  4.       apiVersion: batch/v1
  5.       kind: Job
  6.       metadata:
  7.         name: env-job
  8.         namespace: "{{ ansible_operator_meta.namespace }}"
  9.       spec:
  10.         template:
  11.           spec:
  12.             containers:
  13.               - name: curl-example
  14.                 image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi:8.4-209
  15.                 command: ["curl"]
  16.                 args: ["http://example.com/job-request"]
  17.                 env:
  18.                   - name: HTTP_PROXY
  19.                     value: '{{ lookup("env", "HTTP_PROXY") | default("", True) }}'
  20.                   - name: http_proxy
  21.                     value: '{{ lookup("env", "HTTP_PROXY") | default("", True) }}'
  22.             restartPolicy: Never
  23.         backoffLimit: 4

You can set the environment variable on the Operator deployment. Using the memcached tutorial, edit config/manager/manager.yaml:

  1. containers:
  2.  - args:
  3.    - --leader-elect
  4.    - --leader-election-id=ansible-proxy-demo
  5.    image: controller:latest
  6.    name: manager
  7.    env:
  8.      - name: "HTTP_PROXY"
  9.        value: "http_proxy_test"
