Kubernetes

Cloud Agnostic

Open Source

Integrates Notiway with Kubernetes. Reads the pod name and namespace from the Downward API to uniquely identify each gateway instance and discovers container resource limits (CPU and memory) from the Linux cgroup filesystem (both cgroup v1 and v2).

Source code: Notiway.Plugins.Portable.Hosts.Kubernetes

Version

Compatibility


Compatible with	All Buffer, Broker, Storage, and Auth plugins
Product	Notiway Notify

Installation

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`Infra__Plugins__Host__Name`	Yes	—	Set to `Kubernetes`
`Infra__Plugins__Host__Version`	Yes	—	Plugin version (e.g., `0.8.0`)

No additional configuration is needed beyond the plugin name and version.

Service identity is derived from the HOSTNAME environment variable (injected by Kubernetes automatically) and POD_NAMESPACE (exposed via the Downward API). The service ID is formatted as namespace/hostname.

Resource limits (CPU and memory) are read from the Linux cgroup filesystem. Both cgroup v2 (/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.max, /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.max) and cgroup v1 (/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/cpu.cfs_quota_us, /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.limit_in_bytes) are supported. CPU is reported in millicores and memory in MB.

Infrastructure

Deploy Notiway as a Kubernetes Deployment or StatefulSet.
Expose the pod namespace via the Downward API (the pod name is available by default via HOSTNAME; namespace requires an explicit fieldRef).
Set resource limits on the container so the cgroup values are populated.
