ResourceSlice [resource.k8s.io/v1]

Description

ResourceSlice represents one or more resources in a pool of similar resources, managed by a common driver. A pool may span more than one ResourceSlice, and exactly how many ResourceSlices comprise a pool is determined by the driver.

At the moment, the only supported resources are devices with attributes and capacities. Each device in a given pool, regardless of how many ResourceSlices, must have a unique name. The ResourceSlice in which a device gets published may change over time. The unique identifier for a device is the tuple <driver name>, <pool name>, <device name>.

Whenever a driver needs to update a pool, it increments the pool.Spec.Pool.Generation number and updates all ResourceSlices with that new number and new resource definitions. A consumer must only use ResourceSlices with the highest generation number and ignore all others.

When allocating all resources in a pool matching certain criteria or when looking for the best solution among several different alternatives, a consumer should check the number of ResourceSlices in a pool (included in each ResourceSlice) to determine whether its view of a pool is complete and if not, should wait until the driver has completed updating the pool.

For resources that are not local to a node, the node name is not set. Instead, the driver may use a node selector to specify where the devices are available.

This is an alpha type and requires enabling the DynamicResourceAllocation feature gate.

Must use exactly one term.
Exactly one of NodeName, NodeSelector, AllNodes, and PerDeviceNodeSelection must be set.
perDeviceNodeSelection boolean PerDeviceNodeSelection defines whether the access from nodes to resources in the pool is set on the ResourceSlice level or on each device. If it is set to true, every device defined the ResourceSlice must specify this individually.

- If the requested amount is less than Min, it is rounded up to the Min value. - If Step is set and the requested amount is between Min and Max but not aligned with Step, it will be rounded up to the next value equal to Min + (n * Step). - If Step is not set, the requested amount is used as-is if it falls within the range Min to Max (if set). - If the requested or rounded amount exceeds Max (if set), the request does not satisfy the policy, and the device cannot be allocated.
validValues array (Quantity) ValidValues defines a set of acceptable quantity values in consuming requests.
Must not contain more than 10 entries. Must be sorted in ascending order.
If this field is set, Default must be defined and it must be included in ValidValues list.

  • effect
Property Type Description
effect string The effect of the taint on claims that do not tolerate the taint and through such claims on the pods using them.
Valid effects are None, NoSchedule and NoExecute. PreferNoSchedule as used for nodes is not valid here. More effects may get added in the future. Consumers must treat unknown effects like None.
Possible enum values: - "NoExecute" Evict any already-running pods that do not tolerate the device taint. - "NoSchedule" Do not allow new pods to schedule which use a tainted device unless they tolerate the taint, but allow all pods submitted to Kubelet without going through the scheduler to start, and allow all already-running pods to continue running. - "None" No effect, the taint is purely informational.

.spec.pool

Description
ResourcePool describes the pool that ResourceSlices belong to.
Type
`object`
Required
  • name
  • generation
  • resourceSliceCount
Property Type Description
generation integer Generation tracks the change in a pool over time. Whenever a driver changes something about one or more of the resources in a pool, it must change the generation in all ResourceSlices which are part of that pool. Consumers of ResourceSlices should only consider resources from the pool with the highest generation number. The generation may be reset by drivers, which should be fine for consumers, assuming that all ResourceSlices in a pool are updated to match or deleted.
Combined with ResourceSliceCount, this mechanism enables consumers to detect pools which are comprised of multiple ResourceSlices and are in an incomplete state.
name string Name is used to identify the pool. For node-local devices, this is often the node name, but this is not required.
It must not be longer than 253 characters and must consist of one or more DNS sub-domains separated by slashes. This field is immutable.
resourceSliceCount integer ResourceSliceCount is the total number of ResourceSlices in the pool at this generation number. Must be greater than zero.
Consumers can use this to check whether they have seen all ResourceSlices belonging to the same pool.
