CLI Instructions
CLI Commands - Quick Reference
| Instruction | CLI Command |
|---|---|
| List all provisioning policies | wf get provisioningpolicies |
| View a provisioning policy's manifest in console | wf get provisioningpolicies POLICYNAME -o yaml |
| Output a provisioning policy's manifest to file | wf get provisioningpolicies POLICYNAME -o yaml > MYPOLICY.yaml |
| Apply a provisioning policy's manifest from file | wf apply -f MYPOLICY.yaml |
Create your first provisioning policy
The best way to create your first provisioning policy is to use Wayfinder's Web Interface to generate the YAML.
Thereafter, apply the yaml using wf apply -f MYPOLICY.YAML
wf apply -f MYPOLICY.yaml
Create subsequent provisioning policies
Follow these steps:
- Check which provisioning policies already exist using the
wf get provisioningpoliciescommand.
wf get provisioningpolicies
NAME DESCRIPTION TYPE CLOUD AGE
default-azure-cluster-limits Default limits for Azure AKS clusters Cluster azure 36d
- Get the yaml from an existing policy:
wf get provisioningpolicies default-azure-cluster-limits -o yaml > MYPOLICY2.yaml
This copies the the default-azure-cluster-limits provisioning policy and places it in a file MYPOLICY2.yaml.
- Edit the policy file as needed, being sure to change the metadata name to a new name, to indicate that you wish to make a new provisioning policy. Thereafter, apply the file:
wf apply -f MYPOLICY2.yaml
Web Interface Instructions
