Description

DeviceClass is a vendor- or admin-provided resource that contains device configuration and selectors. It can be referenced in the device requests of a claim to apply these presets. Cluster scoped.

This is an alpha type and requires enabling the DynamicResourceAllocation feature gate.

Property Type Description

apiVersion

string

APIVersion defines the versioned schema of this representation of an object. Servers should convert recognized schemas to the latest internal value, and may reject unrecognized values. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#resources

kind

string

Kind is a string value representing the REST resource this object represents. Servers may infer this from the endpoint the client submits requests to. Cannot be updated. In CamelCase. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds

spec

object

DeviceClassSpec is used in a [DeviceClass] to define what can be allocated and how to configure it.

Type

object

Property Type Description

config

array

Config defines configuration parameters that apply to each device that is claimed via this class. Some classses may potentially be satisfied by multiple drivers, so each instance of a vendor configuration applies to exactly one driver.

They are passed to the driver, but are not considered while allocating the claim.

config[]

object

DeviceClassConfiguration is used in DeviceClass.

extendedResourceName

string

ExtendedResourceName is the extended resource name for the devices of this class. The devices of this class can be used to satisfy a pod’s extended resource requests. It has the same format as the name of a pod’s extended resource. It should be unique among all the device classes in a cluster. If two device classes have the same name, then the class created later is picked to satisfy a pod’s extended resource requests. If two classes are created at the same time, then the name of the class lexicographically sorted first is picked.

This is an alpha field.

selectors

array

Each selector must be satisfied by a device which is claimed via this class.

selectors[]

object

DeviceSelector must have exactly one field set.

.spec.config

Description

Config defines configuration parameters that apply to each device that is claimed via this class. Some classses may potentially be satisfied by multiple drivers, so each instance of a vendor configuration applies to exactly one driver.

They are passed to the driver, but are not considered while allocating the claim.

  • driver

  • parameters

Property Type Description

driver

string

Driver is used to determine which kubelet plugin needs to be passed these configuration parameters.

An admission policy provided by the driver developer could use this to decide whether it needs to validate them.

Must be a DNS subdomain and should end with a DNS domain owned by the vendor of the driver. It should use only lower case characters.

parameters

RawExtension

Parameters can contain arbitrary data. It is the responsibility of the driver developer to handle validation and versioning. Typically this includes self-identification and a version ("kind" + "apiVersion" for Kubernetes types), with conversion between different versions.

The length of the raw data must be smaller or equal to 10 Ki.

.spec.selectors

Each selector must be satisfied by a device which is claimed via this class.

CELDeviceSelector contains a CEL expression for selecting a device.

Description

CELDeviceSelector contains a CEL expression for selecting a device.

Type

Required
  • expression

Property Type Description

expression

string

Expression is a CEL expression which evaluates a single device. It must evaluate to true when the device under consideration satisfies the desired criteria, and false when it does not. Any other result is an error and causes allocation of devices to abort.

The expression’s input is an object named "device", which carries the following properties: - driver (string): the name of the driver which defines this device. - attributes (map[string]object): the device’s attributes, grouped by prefix (e.g. device.attributes["dra.example.com"] evaluates to an object with all of the attributes which were prefixed by "dra.example.com". - capacity (map[string]object): the device’s capacities, grouped by prefix. - allowMultipleAllocations (bool): the allowMultipleAllocations property of the device (v1.34+ with the DRAConsumableCapacity feature enabled).

Example: Consider a device with driver="dra.example.com", which exposes two attributes named "model" and "ext.example.com/family" and which exposes one capacity named "modules". This input to this expression would have the following fields:

device.driver device.attributes["dra.example.com"].model device.attributes["ext.example.com"].family device.capacity["dra.example.com"].modules

The device.driver field can be used to check for a specific driver, either as a high-level precondition (i.e. you only want to consider devices from this driver) or as part of a multi-clause expression that is meant to consider devices from different drivers.

The value type of each attribute is defined by the device definition, and users who write these expressions must consult the documentation for their specific drivers. The value type of each capacity is Quantity.

If an unknown prefix is used as a lookup in either device.attributes or device.capacity, an empty map will be returned. Any reference to an unknown field will cause an evaluation error and allocation to abort.

A robust expression should check for the existence of attributes before referencing them.

For ease of use, the cel.bind() function is enabled, and can be used to simplify expressions that access multiple attributes with the same domain. For example:

cel.bind(dra, device.attributes["dra.example.com"], dra.someBool && dra.anotherBool)

The length of the expression must be smaller or equal to 10 Ki. The cost of evaluating it is also limited based on the estimated number of logical steps.

dryRun

string

When present, indicates that modifications should not be persisted. An invalid or unrecognized dryRun directive will result in an error response and no further processing of the request. Valid values are: - All: all dry run stages will be processed

fieldValidation

string

fieldValidation instructs the server on how to handle objects in the request (POST/PUT/PATCH) containing unknown or duplicate fields. Valid values are: - Ignore: This will ignore any unknown fields that are silently dropped from the object, and will ignore all but the last duplicate field that the decoder encounters. This is the default behavior prior to v1.23. - Warn: This will send a warning via the standard warning response header for each unknown field that is dropped from the object, and for each duplicate field that is encountered. The request will still succeed if there are no other errors, and will only persist the last of any duplicate fields. This is the default in v1.23+ - Strict: This will fail the request with a BadRequest error if any unknown fields would be dropped from the object, or if any duplicate fields are present. The error returned from the server will contain all unknown and duplicate fields encountered.
