Support the new NodeFeatures object of the NFD CRD api. Add two new
command line options to nfd-worker:
-kubeconfig specifies the kubeconfig to use for
connecting k8s api (defaults to empty which
implies in-cluster config)
-enable-nodefeature-api enable the NodeFeature CRD API for
communicating node features to nfd-master,
will also automatically disable gRPC
(defgault to false)
No config file option for selecting the API is available as there should
be no need for dynamically selecting between gRPC and CRD. The
nfd-master configuration must be changed in tandem and it is safer (and
avoid awkward configuration races) to configure the whole NFD deployment
at once.
Default behavior of nfd-worker is not changed i.e. NodeFeatures object
creation is not enabled by default (but must be enabled with the command
line flag).
The patch also updates the kustomize and Helm deployment, adding RBAC
rules for nfd-worker and updating the example worker configuration.
Drop the following flags that were deprecated already in v0.8.0:
-sleep-interval (replaced by core.sleepInterval config file option)
-label-whitelist (replaced by core.labelWhiteList config file option)
-sources (replaced by -label-sources flag)
The goal is to make the name more descriptive. Also keeping in mind a
possible future addition a 'featureSources' option (or similar) for
controlling the feature discovery.
Use the single-dash (i.e. '-option' instead of '--option') format
consistently accross log messages and documentation. This is the format
that was mostly used, already, and shown by command line help of the
binaries, for example.
Refactor the worker code and split out gRPC client connection handling
into a separate base type. The intent is to promote re-usability of code
for other NFD clients, too.
Add a config file option for controlling the enabled feature sources,
aimed at replacing the --sources command line flag which is now marked
as deprecated. The command line flag takes precedence over the config
file option.
Add a config file option for label whitelisting. Deprecate the
--label-whitelist command line flag. Note that the command line flag has
higher priority than the config file option.
Add a new config file option for (dynamically) controlling the sleep
interval. At the same time, deprecate the --sleep-interval command line
flag. The command line flag takes precedence over the config file option.
Allows dynamic (re-)configuration of most nfd-worker options. The goal
is to have most configuration parameters specified in the configuration
file and deprecate most of the command line flags. The priority is
intended to be such that command line flags override whatever is
specified in the configuration file. Thus, specifying something on the
command line effectively disables dynamic configurability of that
parameter.
This patch adds core.noPublish config file option to demonstrate how the
new mechanism is supposed to work. The --no-publish command line flag
takes precedence over this config file option.
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.
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.
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.
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.
