Experiment parameters

Iter8 is built on Helm. Iter8 experiments can be configured with parameters using the same mechanisms provided by Helm for setting chart values.

The set of configurable parameters of an experiment includes the parameters of the tasks involved in the experiment. Iter8 uses the convention that the parameters of a task are nested under the name of that task. In the following example, the url parameter of the http task is nested under the http object.

iter8 k launch \
--set "tasks={http}" \
--set http.url=https://httpbin.org/get

All the parameters of a task or an experiment are optional unless indicated otherwise in the documentation of the task or experiment.

Parameters

Global experiment parameters are described here. Task specific parameters are documented in each task description.
