Batch — Advanced management

This article refers to Platform v3.1.0. The current Platform version is v3.2.0.

Overview​

The Advanced management category of the Batch Command Manager bundles the bulk operations for the sensitive material every node needs to function: Docker credentials for private image registries, and Global Secrets for the workloads running on the node. Both commands support manual entry and bulk file upload, and both are upsert: an existing key is updated, a new one is created.

Commands​

1. Add Credentials​

Adds (or updates) Docker registry credentials on every target node. Each credential is a triple of Repository, User Name, Password.

Two ways to supply credentials:

  • Fill in the Repository, User Name, Password form to add them one by one.
  • Upload a CSV file with multiple credentials. Use the Download CSV template action to get the correct layout.
note

If a credential with the same key (repository) already exists on the target node, the wizard updates it. Otherwise, it is added as a new credential.

For the dedicated reference of the Docker Credentials card on a single node, read Repository credentials.

2. Add a Secret​

Adds (or updates) Global Secrets on every target node. Each secret is a Name / Value pair.

Two ways to supply secrets:

  • Fill in the Name and Value form to add them one by one.
  • Upload a TXT file with one KEY=value per line. Use the Download TXT template action to get the correct layout.
note

If a secret with the same name already exists on the target node, the wizard updates its value. Otherwise, it is added as a new secret.

For the dedicated reference of the Secrets card on a single node, read Secrets.

Summary​

Use the Advanced management batch category to roll out the credentials and secrets a fleet of nodes needs in one go — by hand for a couple of values, or via the CSV / TXT bulk upload when you have many. Both commands upsert, so the same wizard works for both initial provisioning and ongoing rotation.
