Properties
.apiVersion
APIVersion defines the versioned schema of this representation of an object. Servers should convert recognized schemas to the latest internal value, and may reject unrecognized values. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#resources
.kind
Kind is a string value representing the REST resource this object represents. Servers may infer this from the endpoint the client submits requests to. Cannot be updated. In CamelCase. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds
.metadata
.spec
MachinePoolSpec defines the desired state of MachinePool
.spec.clusterName
ClusterName is the name of the Cluster this object belongs to.
.spec.failureDomains
FailureDomains is the list of failure domains this MachinePool should be attached to.
.spec.failureDomains[*]
.spec.minReadySeconds
Minimum number of seconds for which a newly created machine instances should be ready. Defaults to 0 (machine instance will be considered available as soon as it is ready)
.spec.providerIDList
ProviderIDList are the identification IDs of machine instances provided by the provider. This field must match the provider IDs as seen on the node objects corresponding to a machine pool’s machine instances.
.spec.providerIDList[*]
.spec.replicas
Number of desired machines. Defaults to 1. This is a pointer to distinguish between explicit zero and not specified.
.spec.strategy
The deployment strategy to use to replace existing machine instances with new ones.
.spec.strategy.rollingUpdate
Rolling update config params. Present only if MachineDeploymentStrategyType = RollingUpdate.
.spec.strategy.rollingUpdate.maxSurge
The maximum number of machines that can be scheduled above the desired number of machines. Value can be an absolute number (ex: 5) or a percentage of desired machines (ex: 10%). This can not be 0 if MaxUnavailable is 0. Absolute number is calculated from percentage by rounding up. Defaults to 1. Example: when this is set to 30%, the new MachineSet can be scaled up immediately when the rolling update starts, such that the total number of old and new machines do not exceed 130% of desired machines. Once old machines have been killed, new MachineSet can be scaled up further, ensuring that total number of machines running at any time during the update is at most 130% of desired machines.
.spec.strategy.rollingUpdate.maxUnavailable
The maximum number of machines that can be unavailable during the update. Value can be an absolute number (ex: 5) or a percentage of desired machines (ex: 10%). Absolute number is calculated from percentage by rounding down. This can not be 0 if MaxSurge is 0. Defaults to 0. Example: when this is set to 30%, the old MachineSet can be scaled down to 70% of desired machines immediately when the rolling update starts. Once new machines are ready, old MachineSet can be scaled down further, followed by scaling up the new MachineSet, ensuring that the total number of machines available at all times during the update is at least 70% of desired machines.
.spec.strategy.type
Type of deployment. Currently the only supported strategy is “RollingUpdate”. Default is RollingUpdate.
.spec.template
Template describes the machines that will be created.
.spec.template.metadata
Standard object’s metadata. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#metadata
.spec.template.metadata.annotations
Annotations is an unstructured key value map stored with a resource that may be set by external tools to store and retrieve arbitrary metadata. They are not queryable and should be preserved when modifying objects. More info: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/annotations
.spec.template.metadata.generateName
GenerateName is an optional prefix, used by the server, to generate a unique name ONLY IF the Name field has not been provided. If this field is used, the name returned to the client will be different than the name passed. This value will also be combined with a unique suffix. The provided value has the same validation rules as the Name field, and may be truncated by the length of the suffix required to make the value unique on the server. If this field is specified and the generated name exists, the server will NOT return a 409 - instead, it will either return 201 Created or 500 with Reason ServerTimeout indicating a unique name could not be found in the time allotted, and the client should retry (optionally after the time indicated in the Retry-After header). Applied only if Name is not specified. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#idempotency
.spec.template.metadata.labels
Map of string keys and values that can be used to organize and categorize (scope and select) objects. May match selectors of replication controllers and services. More info: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/labels
.spec.template.metadata.name
Name must be unique within a namespace. Is required when creating resources, although some resources may allow a client to request the generation of an appropriate name automatically. Name is primarily intended for creation idempotence and configuration definition. Cannot be updated. More info: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/identifiers#names
.spec.template.metadata.namespace
Namespace defines the space within each name must be unique. An empty namespace is equivalent to the “default” namespace, but “default” is the canonical representation. Not all objects are required to be scoped to a namespace - the value of this field for those objects will be empty. Must be a DNS_LABEL. Cannot be updated. More info: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/namespaces
.spec.template.metadata.ownerReferences
List of objects depended by this object. If ALL objects in the list have been deleted, this object will be garbage collected. If this object is managed by a controller, then an entry in this list will point to this controller, with the controller field set to true. There cannot be more than one managing controller.
.spec.template.metadata.ownerReferences[*]
OwnerReference contains enough information to let you identify an owning object. An owning object must be in the same namespace as the dependent, or be cluster-scoped, so there is no namespace field.
.spec.template.metadata.ownerReferences[*].apiVersion
API version of the referent.
.spec.template.metadata.ownerReferences[*].blockOwnerDeletion
If true, AND if the owner has the “foregroundDeletion” finalizer, then the owner cannot be deleted from the key-value store until this reference is removed. Defaults to false. To set this field, a user needs “delete” permission of the owner, otherwise 422 (Unprocessable Entity) will be returned.
.spec.template.metadata.ownerReferences[*].controller
If true, this reference points to the managing controller.
.spec.template.metadata.ownerReferences[*].kind
Kind of the referent. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds
.spec.template.metadata.ownerReferences[*].name
Name of the referent. More info: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/identifiers#names
.spec.template.metadata.ownerReferences[*].uid
UID of the referent. More info: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/identifiers#uids
.spec.template.spec
Specification of the desired behavior of the machine. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#spec-and-status
.spec.template.spec.bootstrap
Bootstrap is a reference to a local struct which encapsulates fields to configure the Machine’s bootstrapping mechanism.
.spec.template.spec.bootstrap.configRef
ConfigRef is a reference to a bootstrap provider-specific resource that holds configuration details. The reference is optional to allow users/operators to specify Bootstrap.Data without the need of a controller.
.spec.template.spec.bootstrap.configRef.apiVersion
API version of the referent.
.spec.template.spec.bootstrap.configRef.fieldPath
If referring to a piece of an object instead of an entire object, this string should contain a valid JSON/Go field access statement, such as desiredState.manifest.containers[2]. For example, if the object reference is to a container within a pod, this would take on a value like: “spec.containers{name}” (where “name” refers to the name of the container that triggered the event) or if no container name is specified “spec.containers[2]” (container with index 2 in this pod). This syntax is chosen only to have some well-defined way of referencing a part of an object. TODO: this design is not final and this field is subject to change in the future.
.spec.template.spec.bootstrap.configRef.kind
Kind of the referent. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds
.spec.template.spec.bootstrap.configRef.name
Name of the referent. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/names/#names
.spec.template.spec.bootstrap.configRef.namespace
Namespace of the referent. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/namespaces/
.spec.template.spec.bootstrap.configRef.resourceVersion
Specific resourceVersion to which this reference is made, if any. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#concurrency-control-and-consistency
.spec.template.spec.bootstrap.configRef.uid
UID of the referent. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/names/#uids
.spec.template.spec.bootstrap.data
Data contains the bootstrap data, such as cloud-init details scripts. If nil, the Machine should remain in the Pending state. Deprecated: This field has been deprecated in v1alpha3 and will be removed in a future version. Switch to DataSecretName.
.spec.template.spec.bootstrap.dataSecretName
DataSecretName is the name of the secret that stores the bootstrap data script. If nil, the Machine should remain in the Pending state.
.spec.template.spec.clusterName
ClusterName is the name of the Cluster this object belongs to.
.spec.template.spec.failureDomain
FailureDomain is the failure domain the machine will be created in. Must match a key in the FailureDomains map stored on the cluster object.
.spec.template.spec.infrastructureRef
InfrastructureRef is a required reference to a custom resource offered by an infrastructure provider.
.spec.template.spec.infrastructureRef.apiVersion
API version of the referent.
.spec.template.spec.infrastructureRef.fieldPath
If referring to a piece of an object instead of an entire object, this string should contain a valid JSON/Go field access statement, such as desiredState.manifest.containers[2]. For example, if the object reference is to a container within a pod, this would take on a value like: “spec.containers{name}” (where “name” refers to the name of the container that triggered the event) or if no container name is specified “spec.containers[2]” (container with index 2 in this pod). This syntax is chosen only to have some well-defined way of referencing a part of an object. TODO: this design is not final and this field is subject to change in the future.
.spec.template.spec.infrastructureRef.kind
Kind of the referent. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds
.spec.template.spec.infrastructureRef.name
Name of the referent. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/names/#names
.spec.template.spec.infrastructureRef.namespace
Namespace of the referent. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/namespaces/
.spec.template.spec.infrastructureRef.resourceVersion
Specific resourceVersion to which this reference is made, if any. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#concurrency-control-and-consistency
.spec.template.spec.infrastructureRef.uid
UID of the referent. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/names/#uids
.spec.template.spec.nodeDrainTimeout
NodeDrainTimeout is the total amount of time that the controller will spend on draining a node. The default value is 0, meaning that the node can be drained without any time limitations. NOTE: NodeDrainTimeout is different from kubectl drain --timeout
.spec.template.spec.providerID
ProviderID is the identification ID of the machine provided by the provider. This field must match the provider ID as seen on the node object corresponding to this machine. This field is required by higher level consumers of cluster-api. Example use case is cluster autoscaler with cluster-api as provider. Clean-up logic in the autoscaler compares machines to nodes to find out machines at provider which could not get registered as Kubernetes nodes. With cluster-api as a generic out-of-tree provider for autoscaler, this field is required by autoscaler to be able to have a provider view of the list of machines. Another list of nodes is queried from the k8s apiserver and then a comparison is done to find out unregistered machines and are marked for delete. This field will be set by the actuators and consumed by higher level entities like autoscaler that will be interfacing with cluster-api as generic provider.
.spec.template.spec.version
Version defines the desired Kubernetes version. This field is meant to be optionally used by bootstrap providers.
.status
MachinePoolStatus defines the observed state of MachinePool
.status.availableReplicas
The number of available replicas (ready for at least minReadySeconds) for this MachinePool.
.status.bootstrapReady
BootstrapReady is the state of the bootstrap provider.
.status.conditions
Conditions define the current service state of the MachinePool.
.status.conditions[*]
Condition defines an observation of a Cluster API resource operational state.
.status.conditions[*].lastTransitionTime
Last time the condition transitioned from one status to another. This should be when the underlying condition changed. If that is not known, then using the time when the API field changed is acceptable.
.status.conditions[*].message
A human readable message indicating details about the transition. This field may be empty.
.status.conditions[*].reason
The reason for the condition’s last transition in CamelCase. The specific API may choose whether or not this field is considered a guaranteed API. This field may not be empty.
.status.conditions[*].severity
Severity provides an explicit classification of Reason code, so the users or machines can immediately understand the current situation and act accordingly. The Severity field MUST be set only when Status=False.
.status.conditions[*].status
Status of the condition, one of True, False, Unknown.
.status.conditions[*].type
Type of condition in CamelCase or in foo.example.com/CamelCase. Many .condition.type values are consistent across resources like Available, but because arbitrary conditions can be useful (see .node.status.conditions), the ability to deconflict is important.
.status.failureMessage
FailureMessage indicates that there is a problem reconciling the state, and will be set to a descriptive error message.
.status.failureReason
FailureReason indicates that there is a problem reconciling the state, and will be set to a token value suitable for programmatic interpretation.
.status.infrastructureReady
InfrastructureReady is the state of the infrastructure provider.
.status.nodeRefs
NodeRefs will point to the corresponding Nodes if it they exist.
.status.nodeRefs[*]
ObjectReference contains enough information to let you inspect or modify the referred object. — New uses of this type are discouraged because of difficulty describing its usage when embedded in APIs. 1. Ignored fields. It includes many fields which are not generally honored. For instance, ResourceVersion and FieldPath are both very rarely valid in actual usage. 2. Invalid usage help. It is impossible to add specific help for individual usage. In most embedded usages, there are particular restrictions like, “must refer only to types A and B” or “UID not honored” or “name must be restricted”. Those cannot be well described when embedded. 3. Inconsistent validation. Because the usages are different, the validation rules are different by usage, which makes it hard for users to predict what will happen. 4. The fields are both imprecise and overly precise. Kind is not a precise mapping to a URL. This can produce ambiguity during interpretation and require a REST mapping. In most cases, the dependency is on the group,resource tuple and the version of the actual struct is irrelevant. 5. We cannot easily change it. Because this type is embedded in many locations, updates to this type will affect numerous schemas. Don’t make new APIs embed an underspecified API type they do not control. Instead of using this type, create a locally provided and used type that is well-focused on your reference. For example, ServiceReferences for admission registration: https://github.com/kubernetes/api/blob/release-1.17/admissionregistration/v1/types.go#L533 .
.status.nodeRefs[*].apiVersion
API version of the referent.
.status.nodeRefs[*].fieldPath
If referring to a piece of an object instead of an entire object, this string should contain a valid JSON/Go field access statement, such as desiredState.manifest.containers[2]. For example, if the object reference is to a container within a pod, this would take on a value like: “spec.containers{name}” (where “name” refers to the name of the container that triggered the event) or if no container name is specified “spec.containers[2]” (container with index 2 in this pod). This syntax is chosen only to have some well-defined way of referencing a part of an object. TODO: this design is not final and this field is subject to change in the future.
