ReferenceGrant [gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1beta1]

Description

ReferenceGrant identifies kinds of resources in other namespaces that are trusted to reference the specified kinds of resources in the same namespace as the policy.

Each ReferenceGrant can be used to represent a unique trust relationship. Additional Reference Grants can be used to add to the set of trusted sources of inbound references for the namespace they are defined within.

All cross-namespace references in Gateway API (with the exception of cross-namespace Gateway-route attachment) require a ReferenceGrant.

ReferenceGrant is a form of runtime verification allowing users to assert which cross-namespace object references are permitted. Implementations that support ReferenceGrant MUST NOT permit cross-namespace references which have no grant, and MUST respond to the removal of a grant by revoking the access that the grant allowed.

Type
`object`

Specification

Property Type Description
apiVersion string 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 string 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 ObjectMeta Standard object’s metadata. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#metadata

  • group
  • kind
  • namespace
Property Type Description
group string Group is the group of the referent. When empty, the Kubernetes core API group is inferred.
Support: Core
kind string Kind is the kind of the referent. Although implementations may support additional resources, the following types are part of the "Core" support level for this field.
When used to permit a SecretObjectReference:
* Gateway
When used to permit a BackendObjectReference:
* GRPCRoute * HTTPRoute * TCPRoute * TLSRoute * UDPRoute
namespace string Namespace is the namespace of the referent.
Support: Core

.spec.to

Required
  • group
  • kind
Property Type Description
group string Group is the group of the referent. When empty, the Kubernetes core API group is inferred.
Support: Core
kind string Kind is the kind of the referent. Although implementations may support additional resources, the following types are part of the "Core" support level for this field:
* Secret when used to permit a SecretObjectReference * Service when used to permit a BackendObjectReference
name string Name is the name of the referent. When unspecified, this policy refers to all resources of the specified Group and Kind in the local namespace.

Query parameters

Parameter Type Description
dryRun string When present, indicates that modifications should not be persisted. An invalid or unrecognized dryRun directive will result in an error response and no further processing of the request. Valid values are: - All: all dry run stages will be processed
fieldValidation string fieldValidation instructs the server on how to handle objects in the request (POST/PUT/PATCH) containing unknown or duplicate fields. Valid values are: - Ignore: This will ignore any unknown fields that are silently dropped from the object, and will ignore all but the last duplicate field that the decoder encounters. This is the default behavior prior to v1.23. - Warn: This will send a warning via the standard warning response header for each unknown field that is dropped from the object, and for each duplicate field that is encountered. The request will still succeed if there are no other errors, and will only persist the last of any duplicate fields. This is the default in v1.23+ - Strict: This will fail the request with a BadRequest error if any unknown fields would be dropped from the object, or if any duplicate fields are present. The error returned from the server will contain all unknown and duplicate fields encountered.
