Extend the format of feature matcher terms (the elements of the
arrayspecified under under matchFeatures field) with new matchName
field. The value of this field is an expression that is evaluated
against the names of feature elements instead of their values (values
are matched with the matchExpressions field, instead).
The matchName field is useful e.g. in template rules for creating
per-feature-element labels based on feature names (instead of values)
and in non-template rules for checking if (at least) one of certain
feature element names are present.
If both matchExpressions and matchName for certain feature matcher term
is specified, they both must match in order to get an overall match.
Also, in this case the list of matched features (used in templating) is
the union of the results from matchExpressions and matchName.
An example of creating an "avx512" label if any AVX512* CPUID feature is
present:
- name: "avx wildcard rule"
labels:
avx512: "true"
matchFeatures:
- feature: cpu.cpuid
matchName: {op: InRegexp, value: ["^AVX512"]}
An example of a template rule creating a dynamic set of labels based on
the existence of certain kconfig options.
- name: "kconfig template rule"
labelsTemplate: |
{{ range .kernel.config }}kconfig-{{ .Name }}={{ .Value }}
{{ end }}
matchFeatures:
- feature: kernel.config
matchName: {op: In, value: ["SWAP", "X86", "ARM"]}
NOTE: this patch changes the corner case of nil/null match expressions
with instance features (i.e. "matchExpressions: null"). Previously, we
returned all instances for templating but now a nil match expression is
not evaluated and no instances for templating are returned.
Add new autoDefaultNs (default is "true") config option to nfd-master.
Setting the config option to false stops NFD from automatically adding
the "feature.node.kubernetes.io/" prefix to labels, annotations and
extended resources. Taints are not affected as for them no prefix is
automatically added. The user-visible part of enabling the option change
is that NodeFeatureRules, local feature files, hooks and configuration
of the "custom" may need to be altereda (if the auto-prefixing is
relied on).
For now, the config option defaults to "true", meaning no change in
default behavior. However, the intent is to change the default to
"false" in a future release, deprecating the option and eventually
removing it (forcing it to "false").
The goal of stopping doing "auto-prefixing" is to simplify the operation
(of nfd and users). Make the naming more straightforward and easier to
understand and debug (kind of WYSIWYG), eliminating peculiar corner
cases:
1. Make validation simpler and unambiguous
2. Remove "overloading" of names, i.e. the mapping two values to the
same actual name. E.g. previously something like
labels:
feature.node.kubernetes.io/foo: bar
foo: baz
Could actually result in node label:
feature.node.kubernetes.io/foo: baz
3. Make the processing/usagee of the "rule.matched" and "local.labels"
feature in NodeFeatureRules unambiguous and more understadable. E.g.
previously you could have node label
"feature.node.kubernetes.io/local-foo: bar" but in the NodeFeatureRule
you'd need to use the unprefixed name "local-foo" or the fully
prefixed name, depending on what was specified in the feature file (or
hook) on the node(s).
NOTE: setting autoDefaultNs to false is a breaking change for users who
rely on automatic prefixing with the default feature.node.kubernetes.io/
namespace. NodeFeatureRules, feature files, hooks and custom rules
(configuration of the "custom" source of nfd-worker) will need to be
altered. Unprefixed labels, annoations and extended resources will be
denied by nfd-master.
First, fix a typo s/sex/sev/. Second, these features are not advertised
as node labels but only as "raw" features available for consumption in
NodeFeatureRules.
Small edit to how tainting is documented in the customization guide.
First, make the heading shorter. Then, move the detailed example yaml
and its description further down in the document to the section that
describes the "taints" field - this is now similar how extended
resources are documented.
Drop the deprecated cpu-sgx.enabled and cpu-se.enabled labels and the
corresponding "raw" features. These have been replaced by
cpu-security.sgx.enabled and cpu-security.se.enabled.
Now that the NodeFeature API has been set enabled by default, the gRPC
mode will be deprecated and with it all flags and features around it.
For nfd-master, flags
-port, -key-file, -ca-file, -cert-file, -verify-node-name, -enable-nodefeature-api
are now marked as deprecated.
For nfd-worker flags
-enable-nodefeature-api, -ca-file, -cert-file, -key-file, -server, -server-name-override
are now marked as deprecated.
Deprecated flags, as well as gRPC related code will be removed in future
releases.
