execute kubectl rolling restart

[terryzwt]

Can I run this command with the library?
kubectl rollout restart -n default deployment/test

I don't know, if this is even a feature of kubernetes itself (or rather its API) or kubectl...

I emulated this by loading deployment and modifying an annotation in pod spec / pod template - or by applying same deployment with different annotation.

There's a chance that kubectl also just does that.

If you update a deployments chart it should update and trigger a rolling restart - we use this with YAML chart templates and apply the changes and it works well.

If you use the pull policy of always or use a different tag for your image it should get a fresh image too.

Just hit this myself - when a config map meant a deployment needed a kick...

$dep = $instance->getDeploymentByName('<deployment-name>', '<namespace>');
$spec = $dep->getSpec('template');
$spec['metadata']['labels']['patch_at'] = (string)time();
$dep->setSpec('template', $spec)->update();

Patching the spec in anyway then means the update triggers a rolling restart - there might be a neater way - but hope that helps.
