Markus Lehtonen 3209c14bea docs: document NodeFeature API
Document the usage of the NodeFeature CRD API. Also re-organize the
documentation a bit, moving the description of NodeFeatureRule
controller from customization guide to nfd-master usage page.

  1. TOC {:toc}

To quickly view available command line flags execute nfd-master -help. In a docker container:

docker run {{ site.container_image }} nfd-master -help

-h, -help

Print usage and exit.

-version

Print version and exit.

-prune

The -prune flag is a sub-command like option for cleaning up the cluster. It causes nfd-master to remove all NFD related labels, annotations and extended resources from all Node objects of the cluster and exit.

-port

The -port flag specifies the TCP port that nfd-master listens for incoming requests.

Default: 8080

Example:

nfd-master -port=443

-instance

The -instance flag makes it possible to run multiple NFD deployments in parallel. In practice, it separates the node annotations between deployments so that each of them can store metadata independently. The instance name must start and end with an alphanumeric character and may only contain alphanumeric characters, -, _ or ..

Default: empty

Example:

nfd-master -instance=network

-ca-file

The -ca-file is one of the three flags (together with -cert-file and -key-file) controlling master-worker mutual TLS authentication on the nfd-master side. This flag specifies the TLS root certificate that is used for authenticating incoming connections. NFD-Worker side needs to have matching key and cert files configured in order for the incoming requests to be accepted.

Default: empty

Note: Must be specified together with -cert-file and -key-file

Example:

nfd-master -ca-file=/opt/nfd/ca.crt -cert-file=/opt/nfd/master.crt -key-file=/opt/nfd/master.key

-cert-file

The -cert-file is one of the three flags (together with -ca-file and -key-file) controlling master-worker mutual TLS authentication on the nfd-master side. This flag specifies the TLS certificate presented for authenticating outgoing traffic towards nfd-worker.

Default: empty

Note: Must be specified together with -ca-file and -key-file

Example:

nfd-master -cert-file=/opt/nfd/master.crt -key-file=/opt/nfd/master.key -ca-file=/opt/nfd/ca.crt

-key-file

The -key-file is one of the three flags (together with -ca-file and -cert-file) controlling master-worker mutual TLS authentication on the nfd-master side. This flag specifies the private key corresponding the given certificate file (-cert-file) that is used for authenticating outgoing traffic.

Default: empty

Note: Must be specified together with -cert-file and -ca-file

Example:

nfd-master -key-file=/opt/nfd/master.key -cert-file=/opt/nfd/master.crt -ca-file=/opt/nfd/ca.crt

-verify-node-name

The -verify-node-name flag controls the NodeName based authorization of incoming requests and only has effect when mTLS authentication has been enabled (with -ca-file, -cert-file and -key-file). If enabled, the worker node name of the incoming must match with the CN or a SAN in its TLS certificate. Thus, workers are only able to label the node they are running on (or the node whose certificate they present).

Node Name based authorization is disabled by default.

Default: false

Example:

nfd-master -verify-node-name -ca-file=/opt/nfd/ca.crt \
    -cert-file=/opt/nfd/master.crt -key-file=/opt/nfd/master.key

-enable-nodefeature-api

The -enable-nodefeature-api flag enables the NodeFeature CRD API for receiving feature requests. This will also automatically disable the gRPC interface.

Default: false

Example:

nfd-master -enable-nodefeature-api

-enable-taints

The -enable-taints flag enables/disables node tainting feature of NFD.

Default: false

Example:

nfd-master -enable-taints=true

-no-publish

The -no-publish flag disables updates to the Node objects in the Kubernetes API server, making a "dry-run" flag for nfd-master. No Labels, Annotations or ExtendedResources of nodes are updated.

Default: false

Example:

nfd-master -no-publish

-crd-controller

The -crd-controller flag specifies whether the NFD CRD API controller is enabled or not. The controller is responsible for processing NodeFeature and NodeFeatureRule objects.

Default: true

Example:

nfd-master -crd-controller=false

-featurerules-controller

DEPRECATED: use -crd-controller instead.

-label-whitelist

The -label-whitelist specifies a regular expression for filtering feature labels based on their name. Each label must match against the given reqular expression in order to be published.

Note: The regular expression is only matches against the "basename" part of the label, i.e. to the part of the name after '/'. The label namespace is omitted.

Default: empty

Example:

nfd-master -label-whitelist='.*cpuid\.'

-extra-label-ns

The -extra-label-ns flag specifies a comma-separated list of allowed feature label namespaces. By default, nfd-master only allows creating labels in the default feature.node.kubernetes.io and profile.node.kubernetes.io label namespaces and their sub-namespaces (e.g. vendor.feature.node.kubernetes.io and sub.ns.profile.node.kubernetes.io). This option can be used to allow other vendor or application specific namespaces for custom labels from the local and custom feature sources.

The same namespace control and this flag applies Extended Resources (created with -resource-labels), too.

Default: empty

Example:

nfd-master -extra-label-ns=vendor-1.com,vendor-2.io

-resource-labels

The -resource-labels flag specifies a comma-separated list of features to be advertised as extended resources instead of labels. Features that have integer values can be published as Extended Resources by listing them in this flag.

Default: empty

Example:

nfd-master -resource-labels=vendor-1.com/feature-1,vendor-2.io/feature-2

Logging

The following logging-related flags are inherited from the klog package.

-add_dir_header

If true, adds the file directory to the header of the log messages.

Default: false

-alsologtostderr

Log to standard error as well as files.

Default: false

-log_backtrace_at

When logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace.

Default: empty

-log_dir

If non-empty, write log files in this directory.

Default: empty

-log_file

If non-empty, use this log file.

Default: empty

-log_file_max_size

Defines the maximum size a log file can grow to. Unit is megabytes. If the value is 0, the maximum file size is unlimited.

Default: 1800

-logtostderr

Log to standard error instead of files

Default: true

-skip_headers

If true, avoid header prefixes in the log messages.

Default: false

-skip_log_headers

If true, avoid headers when opening log files.

Default: false

-stderrthreshold

Logs at or above this threshold go to stderr.

Default: 2

-v

Number for the log level verbosity.

Default: 0

-vmodule

Comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging.

Default: empty
