Clone a Cluster

​

Prerequisites

• Ankra CLI installed and configured
• A cluster configuration file (YAML)

​

Clone from a Local File

ankra cluster clone existing-cluster.yaml new-cluster.yaml

​

Clone from GitHub

ankra cluster clone https://github.com/user/repo/raw/main/cluster.yaml my-cluster.yaml

​

Clone Options

# Clean copy - replace all stacks in target
ankra cluster clone source.yaml target.yaml --clean

# Force merge - override conflicts
ankra cluster clone source.yaml target.yaml --force

# Clone only specific stacks
ankra cluster clone source.yaml target.yaml --stack "monitoring" --stack "networking"

# Complete replacement with all files
ankra cluster clone source.yaml target.yaml --clean --force --copy-missing

​

Example Workflow

ankra cluster clone https://github.com/ankraio/ankra-gitops-examples/raw/main/clusters/monitoring-stack/cluster.yaml ./my-cluster.yaml

ankra cluster apply -f my-cluster.yaml
