client-go

Go clients for talking to a kubernetes cluster.

What's included

• The kubernetes package contains the clientset to access Kubernetes API.
• The discovery package is used to discover APIs supported by a Kubernetes API server.
• The dynamic package contains a dynamic client that can perform generic operations on arbitrary Kubernetes API objects.
• The transport package is used to set up auth and start a connection.
• The tools/cache package is useful for writing controllers.

Releases

Each top-level folder (e.g., 1.4) contains a release of clients and their dependencies.

client-go has the same release cycle as the Kubernetes main repository. For example, in the 1.4 release cycle, the contents in 1.4/ folder are subjected to changes. Once 1.4 is released, new changes will go into the 1.5/ folder. We will make great efforts to not change the public interface of a version of the client once that version has been released. We may change the interface between versions. Old versions of the client will be retained for two release cycles.

How to get it

You can go get a release of client-go, e.g., go get k8s.io/client-go/1.4/... for the whole thing or go get k8s.io/client-go/1.4/kubernetes if you just need the clientset.

Reporting bugs

Please report bugs to the main Kubernetes repository.

Contributing code

Please send pull requests against the client packages in the Kubernetes main repository, and run the /staging/src/k8s.io/client-go/copy.sh script to update the staging area in the main repository. Changes in the staging area will be published to this repository every day.
