Terminology and Basic Concepts

• Tools = Stateless services built upon docker images

• Sources = Repositories Containing tools that can be added to the Kubiya platform and connected to Teammates

• Teammate = Execution Environment in which tools are executed. Because Teammates are the execution environment, it's critical that they have any secrets or environment variables that its tools require in order to execute properly.

• Runner = set of K8s deployments within your cluster allowing Teammates to operate from within your infrastructure.

• Executing Tasks with Teammates = you can have a teammate perform actions by instructing it to do so via Slack.

  • Alternatively you can have teammates perform actions triggered by events (webhooks) or scheduled time intervals (cronjobs)
