Functions

creationTimestamp

creationTimestamp returns metadata.creationTimestamp as an RFC3339 string.

{{ creationTimestamp .deployment }}  → "2026-01-15T10:30:00Z"
{{ timeSince (creationTimestamp .deployment) }}

resourceName

resourceName returns metadata.name. Returns "" when absent.

{{ resourceName .deployment }}  → "web"

resourceNamespace

resourceNamespace returns metadata.namespace. Returns "" for cluster-scoped resources.

{{ resourceNamespace .deployment }}  → "payments"

resourceUID

resourceUID returns metadata.uid — the unique identifier assigned by the API server. Stable across renames; changes on delete-and-recreate.

{{ resourceUID .deployment }}  → "4b3f8d21-8e3a-4f8c-b9d2-1a2b3c4d5e6f"

resourceVersion

resourceVersion returns metadata.resourceVersion — the etcd revision string. Increments on every write. Useful for detecting whether an object has changed since last observation.

{{ resourceVersion .deployment }}  → "14872"
