Markus Lehtonen 45f49d574a nfd-master: drop resourceLabels
Drop the resourceLabels config file option and the corresponding
-resource-labels command line flag. They were deprecated in NFD v0.13 so
it's time to let them go. NodeFeatureRule(s) should be used to manage
ERs, instead.

Node Feature Discovery provides a Helm chart to manage its deployment.

NOTE: NFD is not ideal for other Helm charts to depend on as that may result in multiple parallel NFD deployments in the same cluster which is not fully supported by the NFD Helm chart.

Prerequisites

Helm package manager should be installed.

Deployment

To install the latest stable version:

export NFD_NS=node-feature-discovery
helm repo add nfd https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/node-feature-discovery/charts
helm repo update
helm install nfd/node-feature-discovery --namespace $NFD_NS --create-namespace --generate-name

To install the latest development version you need to clone the NFD Git repository and install from there.

git clone https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/node-feature-discovery/
cd node-feature-discovery/deployment/helm
export NFD_NS=node-feature-discovery
helm install node-feature-discovery ./node-feature-discovery/ --namespace $NFD_NS --create-namespace

See the configuration section below for instructions how to alter the deployment parameters.

Configuration

You can override values from values.yaml and provide a file with custom values:

export NFD_NS=node-feature-discovery
helm install nfd/node-feature-discovery -f <path/to/custom/values.yaml> --namespace $NFD_NS --create-namespace

To specify each parameter separately you can provide them to helm install command:

export NFD_NS=node-feature-discovery
helm install nfd/node-feature-discovery --set nameOverride=NFDinstance --set master.replicaCount=2 --namespace $NFD_NS --create-namespace

Upgrading the chart

To upgrade the node-feature-discovery deployment to {{ site.release }} via Helm.

From v0.7 and older

Please see the uninstallation guide. And then follow the standard deployment instructions.

From v0.8 - v0.11

Helm deployment of NFD was introduced in v0.8.0.

export NFD_NS=node-feature-discovery
# Uninstall the old NFD deployment
helm uninstall node-feature-discovery --namespace $NFD_NS
# Update Helm repository
helm repo update
# Install the new NFD deployment
helm upgrade --install node-feature-discovery nfd/node-feature-discovery --namespace $NFD_NS --set master.enable=false
# Wait for NFD Worker to be ready
kubectl wait --timeout=-1s --for=condition=ready pod -l app.kubernetes.io/name=node-feature-discovery --namespace $NFD_NS
# Enable the NFD Master
helm upgrade --install node-feature-discovery nfd/node-feature-discovery --namespace $NFD_NS --set master.enable=true

From v0.12 - v0.13

In v0.12 the NodeFeature CRD was introduced as experimental. The API was not enabled by default.

export NFD_NS=node-feature-discovery
# Update Helm repository
helm repo update
# Install and upgrade CRD's
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-sigs/node-feature-discovery/master/deployment/base/nfd-crds/nfd-api-crds.yaml
# Install the new NFD deployment
helm upgrade node-feature-discovery nfd/node-feature-discovery --namespace $NFD_NS --set master.enable=false
# Wait for NFD Worker to be ready
kubectl wait --timeout=-1s --for=condition=ready pod -l app.kubernetes.io/name=node-feature-discovery --namespace $NFD_NS
# Enable the NFD Master
helm upgrade node-feature-discovery nfd/node-feature-discovery --namespace $NFD_NS --set master.enable=true

From v0.14+

As of version v0.14 the Helm chart is the primary deployment method for NFD, and the CRD NodeFeature is enabled by default.

export NFD_NS=node-feature-discovery
# Update Helm repository
helm repo update
# Install and upgrade CRD's
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-sigs/node-feature-discovery/{{ site.release }}/deployment/base/nfd-crds/nfd-api-crds.yaml
# Install the new NFD deployment
helm upgrade node-feature-discovery nfd/node-feature-discovery --namespace $NFD_NS

Uninstalling the chart

To uninstall the node-feature-discovery deployment:

export NFD_NS=node-feature-discovery
helm uninstall node-feature-discovery --namespace $NFD_NS

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release. It also runs a post-delete hook that cleans up the nodes of all labels, annotations, taints and extended resources that were created by NFD.

Chart parameters

To tailor the deployment of the Node Feature Discovery to your needs following Chart parameters are available.

General parameters

Name Type Default Description
image.repository string {{ site.container_image | split: ":" | first }} NFD image repository
image.tag string {{ site.release }} NFD image tag
image.pullPolicy string Always Image pull policy
imagePullSecrets array [] ImagePullSecrets is an optional list of references to secrets in the same namespace to use for pulling any of the images used by this PodSpec. More info.
nameOverride string Override the name of the chart
fullnameOverride string Override a default fully qualified app name
featureGates.NodeFeatureAPI bool true Enable the NodeFeature CRD API for communicating node features. This will automatically disable the gRPC communication.
featureGates.NodeFeatureGroupAPI bool false Enable the NodeFeatureGroup CRD API.

[0] Additional info for master.resources.requests:
You may want to use the same value for requests.memory and limits.memory. The “requests” value affects scheduling to accommodate pods on nodes. If there is a large difference between “requests” and “limits” and nodes experience memory pressure, the kernel may invoke the OOM Killer, even if the memory does not exceed the “limits” threshold. This can cause unexpected pod evictions. Memory cannot be compressed and once allocated to a pod, it can only be reclaimed by killing the pod. Natan Yellin 22/09/2022 that discusses this issue.
