Dynamic Environments

In order to allow customers to use environments that are not included in the default offered by ShamanOps, we offer the possibility of adding environments according to the needs of each user.
This pages explains you how.

info

For example: You have to give the audit team an environment equal to production so they can review, but logically you can't give them production, so they can create a dynamic environment for this purpose.

Pre-requisites​

  • Have installed the ShamanOps toolkit in the cluster you will use for DynamicEnvs

  • Add the following secret as a variable in your CI platform:

shamanops_argocd_dynenv_token *
This value refers to the password of the ArgoCD cluster that you will use for your Dynamic Envs.

  • Add the following variables in your CI platform:

shamanops_argocd_dynenv_user *
This value refers to the user of the ArgoCD cluster that you will use for your Dynamic Envs.

shamanops_argocd_dynenv_url *
