• Github for source code hosting
• React-Todo-App by Kabir Baidhya as a sample application.

1. Change the current directory to the example deployment plan

cd ./react

2. Create a new deployment from the plan

3. Configure the deployment with your Netlify access token. You can create new tokens from the Netlify dashboard.

dagger input text www.account.token MY_TOKEN

NOTE: there is a dedicated command for encrypted secret inputs, but it is not yet implemented. Coming soon!

4. Deploy!

dagger up

Provision a Kubernetes cluster on AWS

This example shows how to provision a new Kubernetes cluster on AWS, and configure your kubectl client to use it. Read the deployment plan

Audience: infrastructure teams looking to provisioning kubernetes clusters as part of automated CICD pipelines.

Components:

• Amazon EKS for Kubernetes hosting
• Amazon CloudFormation for infrastructure provisioning
• Kubectl as kubernetes client

1. Change the current directory to the example deployment plan

cd ./kubernetes-aws

2. Create a new deployment from the plan

dagger new

3. Configure the deployment with your AWS credentials

dagger input text awsConfig.accessKey MY_AWS_ACCESS_KEY

dagger input text awsConfig.secretKey MY_AWS_SECRET_KEY

4. Deploy!

    --input-string awsConfig.secretKey="MY_AWS_SECRET_KEY" \

kubernetes: Deploy to an existing Kubernetes cluster

This example shows two different ways for deploying to an existing Kubernetes (EKS) cluster: a simple deployment spec (written in Cue), and a local helm chart.

How to run:

dagger compute ./kubernetes \
    --input-string awsConfig.accessKey="MY_AWS_ACCESS_KEY" \
    --input-string awsConfig.secretKey="MY_AWS_SECRET_KEY" \
