This can be used to help running multiple parallel NFD deployments in
the same cluster. The flag changes the node annotation namespace to
<instance>.nfd.node.kubernetes.io allowing different nfd-master intances
to store metadata in separate annotations.
For historical reasons the labels in the default nfd namespace have been
internally represented without the namespace part. I.e. instead of
"feature.node.kubernetes.io/foo" we just use "foo". NFD worker uses this
representation, too, both internally and over the gRPC requests. The
same scheme has been used for annotations.
This patch changes NFD master to use fully namespaced label and
annotation names internally. This hopefully makes the code a bit more
understandable. It also addresses some corner cases making the handling
of label names consistent, making it possible to use both "truncated"
and fully namespaced names over the gRPC interface (and in the
annotations).
A new special value 'all' is a shortcut for enabling all feature
sources. It should be the only name specified -- if any other names are
specified 'all' does not take effect, but, we only enable the listed
feature sources. E.g.
--sources=all enables all sources, but
--sources=all,cpu only enables the cpu source
Also, print a warning if unknown sources are specified.
A new sub-command like flag for cleaning up a cluster. When --prune is
specified nfd-master removes all NFD related labels, annotations and
extended resources from all nodes of the cluster and exits.
This should help undeployment of NFD and be useful for development.
This builds on the PCI support to enable the discovery of USB devices.
This is primarily intended to be used for the discovery of Edge-based
heterogeneous accelerators that are connected via USB, such as the Coral
USB Accelerator and the Intel NCS2 - our main motivation for adding this
capability to NFD, and as part of our work in the SODALITE H2020
project.
USB devices may define their base class at either the device or
interface levels. In the case where no device class is set, the
per-device interfaces are enumerated instead. USB devices may
furthermore have multiple interfaces, which may or may not use the
identical class across each interface. We therefore report device
existence for each unique class definition to enable more fine-grained
labelling and node selection.
The default labelling format includes the class, vendor and device
(product) IDs, as follows:
feature.node.kubernetes.io/usb-fe_1a6e_089a.present=true
As with PCI, a subset of device classes are whitelisted for matching.
By default, there are only a subset of device classes under which
accelerators tend to be mapped, which is used as the basis for
the whitelist. These are:
- Video
- Miscellaneous
- Application Specific
- Vendor Specific
For those interested in matching other classes, this may be extended
by using the UsbId rule provided through the custom source. A full
list of class codes is provided by the USB-IF at:
https://www.usb.org/defined-class-codes
For the moment, owing to a lack of a demonstrable use case, neither
the subclass nor the protocol information are exposed. If this
becomes necessary, support for these attributes can be trivially
added.

Just print a warning instead of exiting with an error if no version has
been specified at build-time. This was pointless and just annoying at
development time when doing builds with go directly.
This adds support for making selected labels extended resources.
Labels which have integer values, can be promoted to Kubernetes extended
resources by listing them to the added command line flag
`--resource-labels`. These labels won't then show in the node label
section, they will appear only as extended resources.

Remove 'cpuid', 'pstate' and 'rdt' feature sources and move their
functionality under the 'cpu' source. The goal is to have a more
systematic organization of feature sources and labels. After this change
we now basically have one source per type of hw, one for kernel and one
for userspace sw.
Related feature labels are changed, correspondingly, new labels being:
feature.node.k8s.io/cpu-cpuid.<cpuid flag>
feature.node.k8s.io/cpu-pstate.turbo
feature.node.k8s.io/cpu-rdt.<rdt feature>
Move most of the code under cmd/nfd-master and cmd/nfd-worker into new
packages pkg/nfd-master and pk/nfd-worker, respectively. Makes extending
unit tests to "main" functions easier.
Make NodeName based authorization of the workers optional (off by
default). This makes it possible for all nfd-worker pods in the cluster
to use one shared secret, making NFD deployment much easier. However,
this also opens a way for nfd-workers to label other nodes (than what it
is running on), too.
Command line option for overriding the Common Name (CN) expected from
the nfd-master TLS certificate. This can be especially handy in
testing/development.
Implement TLS client certificate authentication. It is enabled by
specifying --ca-file, --key-file and --cert-file, on both the nfd-master
and nfd-worker side. When enabled, nfd-master verifies that the client
(worker) presents a valid certificate signed by the root certificate
(--ca-file). In addition, nfd-master does authorization based on the Common Name
(CN) of the client certificate: CN must match the node name specified in
the labeling request. This ensures (assuming that the worker
certificates are correctly deployed) that nfd-worker is only able to label
the node it is running on, i.e. prevents it from labeling other nodes.
Add support for TLS authentication. When enabled, nfd-worker verifies
that nfd-master has a valid certificate, i.e. signed by the given root
certificate and its Common Name (CN) matches the DNS name of the
nfd-master service being used. TLS authentication is enabled by
specifying --key-file and --cert-file on nfd-master, and, --ca-file on
nfd-worker.
Refactor NFD into a simple server-client system. Labeling is now done by
a separate 'nfd-master' server. It is a simple service with small
codebase, designed for easy isolation. The feature discovery part is
implemented in a 'nfd-worker' client which sends labeling requests to
nfd-server, thus, requiring no access/permissions to the Kubernetes API
itself.
Client-server communication is implemented by using gRPC. The protocol
currently consists of only one request, i.e. the labeling request.
The spec templates are converted to the new scheme. The nfd-master
server can be deployed using the nfd-master.yaml.template which now also
contains the necessary RBAC configuration. NFD workers can be deployed
by using the nfd-worker-daemonset.yaml.template or
nfd-worker-job.yaml.template (most easily used with the label-nodes.sh
script).
Only nfd-worker currently support config file or options. The (default)
NFD config file is renamed to nfd-worker.conf.
