Markus Lehtonen 560bd11d85 Re-add -enable-nodefeature-api cmdline flag
Bring back the -enable-nodefeature-api command line flag and the
corresponding enableNodeFeatureApi helm config value that were
removed without deprecation when the NodeFeatureAPI feature gate was
introduced. The thinking behind this change is to not break existing
users (without warning) unless totally unavoidable. Now the
-enable-nodefeature-api flag is marked as deprecated and slated for
removal in NFD v0.17.

The NodeFeatureAPI feature gate and the -enable-nodefeature-api flag
work together so that the NodeFeature API is disabled (gRPC is enabled,
instead) if either of them is set to false.

This patch selectively reverts parts of
06c4733bc5.

To quickly view available command line flags execute `nfd-master -help`.
In a docker container:
```bash
docker run {{ site.container_image }} nfd-master -help
```
### -h, -help
Print usage and exit.
### -version
Print version and exit.
### -feature-gates
The `-feature-gates` flag is used to enable or disable non GA features.
The list of available feature gates can be found in the [feature gates
documentation](../feature-gates.md).
Example:
```bash
nfd-master -feature-gates NodeFeatureAPI=false
```
### -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:
```bash
nfd-master -port=443
```
### -metrics
The `-metrics` flag specifies the port on which to expose
[Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) metrics. Setting this to 0 disables the
metrics server on nfd-master.
Default: 8081
Example:
```bash
nfd-master -metrics=12345
```
### -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:
```bash
nfd-master -instance=network
```
### -ca-file
> **NOTE** the gRPC API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
> and this flag will be removed as well.
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 for the incoming requests to be accepted.
Default: *empty*
> **NOTE:** Must be specified together with `-cert-file` and `-key-file`
Example:
```bash
nfd-master -ca-file=/opt/nfd/ca.crt -cert-file=/opt/nfd/master.crt -key-file=/opt/nfd/master.key
```
### -cert-file
> **NOTE** the gRPC API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
> and this flag will be removed as well.
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:
```bash
nfd-master -cert-file=/opt/nfd/master.crt -key-file=/opt/nfd/master.key -ca-file=/opt/nfd/ca.crt
```
### -key-file
> **NOTE** the gRPC API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
> and this flag will be removed as well.
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:
```bash
nfd-master -key-file=/opt/nfd/master.key -cert-file=/opt/nfd/master.crt -ca-file=/opt/nfd/ca.crt
```
### -verify-node-name
> **NOTE** the gRPC API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
> and this flag will be removed as well.
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:
```bash
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
**DEPRECATED**: will be removed in NFD v0.17. Use'
[`-feature-gates`](#-feature-gates)
[NodeFeatureAPI](feature-gates.md#nodefeatureapi) instead.
> **NOTE** the gRPC API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
The `-enable-nodefeature-api` flag enables/disables the
[NodeFeature](../usage/custom-resources.md#nodefeature) CRD API for receiving
feature requests. This will also automatically disable/enable the gRPC
interface.
Default: true
Example:
```bash
nfd-master -enable-nodefeature-api=false
```
### -enable-leader-election
The `-enable-leader-election` flag enables leader election for NFD-Master.
It is advised to turn on this flag when running more than one instance of
NFD-Master.
Does not have effect if the [NodeFeatureAPI](feature-gates.md#nodefeatureapi)
feature gate is disabled.
Default: false
```bash
nfd-master -enable-leader-election
```
### -enable-taints
The `-enable-taints` flag enables/disables node tainting feature of NFD.
Default: *false*
Example:
```bash
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:
```bash
nfd-master -no-publish
```
### -crd-controller
> **NOTE** This flag will be removed in a future release at the same time with
> the deprecated gRPC API.
The `-crd-controller` flag specifies whether the NFD CRD API controller is
enabled or not. The controller is responsible for processing
[NodeFeature](../usage/custom-resources.md#nodefeature) and
[NodeFeatureRule](../usage/custom-resources.md#nodefeaturerule) objects.
Default: *true*
Example:
```bash
nfd-master -crd-controller=false
```
### -featurerules-controller
**DEPRECATED**: use [`-crd-controller`](#-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 regular
expression or it will not 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:
```bash
nfd-master -label-whitelist='.*cpuid\.'
```
### -extra-label-ns
The `-extra-label-ns` flag specifies a comma-separated list of allowed feature
label namespaces. This option can be used to allow
other vendor or application specific namespaces for custom labels from the
local and custom feature sources, even though these labels were denied using
the `deny-label-ns` flag.
The same namespace control and this flag applies Extended Resources (created
with `-resource-labels`), too.
Default: *empty*
Example:
```bash
nfd-master -extra-label-ns=vendor-1.com,vendor-2.io
```
### -deny-label-ns
The `-deny-label-ns` flag specifies a comma-separated list of excluded
label namespaces. By default, nfd-master allows creating labels in all
namespaces, excluding `kubernetes.io` namespace and its sub-namespaces
(i.e. `*.kubernetes.io`). However, you should note that
`kubernetes.io` and its sub-namespaces are always denied.
For example, `nfd-master -deny-label-ns=""` would still disallow
`kubernetes.io` and `*.kubernetes.io`.
This option can be used to exclude some vendors or application specific
namespaces.
Note that the namespaces `feature.node.kubernetes.io` and `profile.node.kubernetes.io`
and their sub-namespaces are always allowed and cannot be denied.
Default: *empty*
Example:
```bash
nfd-master -deny-label-ns=*.vendor.com,vendor-2.io
```
### -resource-labels
**DEPRECATED**: [NodeFeatureRule](../usage/custom-resources.md#nodefeaturerule)
should be used for managing extended resources in NFD.
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:
```bash
nfd-master -resource-labels=vendor-1.com/feature-1,vendor-2.io/feature-2
```
### -config
The `-config` flag specifies the path of the nfd-master configuration file to
use.
Default: /etc/kubernetes/node-feature-discovery/nfd-master.conf
Example:
```bash
nfd-master -config=/opt/nfd/master.conf
```
### -options
The `-options` flag may be used to specify and override configuration file
options directly from the command line. The required format is the same as in
the config file i.e. JSON or YAML. Configuration options specified via this
flag will override those from the configuration file:
Default: *empty*
Example:
```bash
nfd-master -options='{"noPublish": true}'
```
### -nfd-api-parallelism
The `-nfd-api-parallelism` flag can be used to specify the maximum
number of concurrent node updates.
Does not have effect if the [NodeFeatureAPI](feature-gates.md#nodefeatureapi)
feature gate is disabled.
Default: 10
Example:
```bash
nfd-master -nfd-api-parallelism=1
```
### Logging
The following logging-related flags are inherited from the
[klog](https://pkg.go.dev/k8s.io/klog/v2) 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*
### -resync-period
The `-resync-period` flag specifies the NFD API controller resync period.
The resync means nfd-master replaying all NodeFeature and NodeFeatureRule objects,
thus effectively re-syncing all nodes in the cluster (i.e. ensuring labels, annotations,
extended resources and taints are in place).
Does not have effect if the [NodeFeatureAPI](feature-gates.md#nodefeatureapi)
feature gate is disabled.
Default: 1 hour.
Example:
```bash
nfd-master -resync-period=2h
```
