A web api exposing herd functionality.

Navigate to the cluster information in the GCE dev console. Click "show credentials" to find the k8spassword for the required settings below.

kubeproxy     # should be the host and port that the kubectl container below provides.
                usually 127.0.0.1:8001
k8spassword   # the password for the cluster found in the dev console.

default_infrastructure_backend  # if using Google Container Engine, this should be set to 'gce'

To deploy to kubernetes the pod should include a kubectl container that reverse proxies to the cluster master.

- name: kubectl
  image: gcr.io/google_containers/kubectl:v0.18.0-120-gaeb4ac55ad12b1-dirty
  imagePullPolicy: Always
  args: ['proxy', '-p', '8001']

The herd service pod needs the cluster credentials mounted in as a secret. Navigate to the cluster information in the GCE dev console. Click "show credentials" and make k8s.pem out of the "Cluster CA Certificate".

Create a secret from that pem and add it to the RepCon.

volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /secret
  name: herd-secret-volume
  readOnly: True
# ...
- name: herd-secret-volume
  secret:
    secretName: herd
