Keel is a tool for automating Kubernetes deployment updates. Keel is stateless, robust and lightweight.
Keel provides several key features:
-
Kubernetes and Helm providers - Keel has direct integrations with Kubernetes and Helm.
-
No CLI/API - tired of
f***ctlfor everything? Keel doesn't have one. Gets job done through labels, annotations, charts. -
Semver policies - specify update policy for each deployment/Helm release individually.
-
Automatic Google Container Registry configuration - Keel automatically sets up topic and subscriptions for your deployment images by periodically scanning your environment.
-
Native, DockerHub, Quay and Azure container registry webhooks support - once webhook is received impacted deployments will be identified and updated.
-
Polling - when webhooks and pubsub aren't available - Keel can still be useful by checking Docker Registry for new tags (if current tag is semver) or same tag SHA digest change (ie:
latest). -
Notifications - out of the box Keel has Slack, Hipchat, Mattermost and standard webhook notifications, more info here

A step-by-step guide to install Keel on your Kubernetes cluster is viewable on the Keel website:
https://keel.sh/v1/guide/quick-start.html
Once Keel is deployed, you only need to specify update policy on your deployment file or Helm chart:
No additional configuration is required. Enabling continuous delivery for your workloads has never been this easy!
Documentation is viewable on the Keel Website:

Before starting to work on some big or medium features - raise an issue here so we can coordinate our efforts.
If you wish to work on Keel itself, you will need Go 1.9+ installed. Make sure you put Keel into correct Gopath and go build (dependency management is done through dep).
To test Keel while developing:
- Launch a Kubernetes cluster like Minikube or Docker for Mac with Kubernetes.
- Change config to use it:
kubectl config use-context docker-for-desktop - Build Keel from
cmd/keeldirectory. - Start Keel with:
keel --no-incluster. This will use Kubeconfig from your home.
