Environments

Zoe allows you to separate clusters configuration into multiple environments. This can be achieved by creating a dedicated yaml file for each environment in zoe's configuration directory ~/.zoe/config.

A typical use case is when dealing with a development, a staging and a production kafka cluster. In this case, we can create 3 configuration files :

~/.zoe/config
├── dev.yml
├── staging.yml
└── prod.yml

We can then refer to a specific environment using --env or -e option :

zoe --env staging -c my-kafka topics consume input -n 10

In this case, Zoe will use the ~/.zoe/config/staging.yml configuration file.

By default, when --env is not specified, zoe will use a default environment called default and thus uses the ~/.zoe/config/default.yml.

Choosing an environment can also be done using an environment variable called ZOE_ENV :

export ZOE_ENV=pro
zoe -c my-kafka topics consume input -n 10
