ResourceSlice v1beta2

ResourceSlice represents one or more resources in a pool of similar resources, managed by a common driver.

ResourceSlice

ResourceSlice represents one or more resources in a pool of similar resources, managed by a common driver. A pool may span more than one ResourceSlice, and exactly how many ResourceSlices comprise a pool is determined by the driver.

At the moment, the only supported resources are devices with attributes and capacities. Each device in a given pool, regardless of how many ResourceSlices, must have a unique name. The ResourceSlice in which a device gets published may change over time. The unique identifier for a device is the tuple <driver name>, <pool name>, <device name>.

Whenever a driver needs to update a pool, it increments the pool.Spec.Pool.Generation number and updates all ResourceSlices with that new number and new resource definitions. A consumer must only use ResourceSlices with the highest generation number and ignore all others.

When allocating all resources in a pool matching certain criteria or when looking for the best solution among several different alternatives, a consumer should check the number of ResourceSlices in a pool (included in each ResourceSlice) to determine whether its view of a pool is complete and if not, should wait until the driver has completed updating the pool.

For resources that are not local to a node, the node name is not set. Instead, the driver may use a node selector to specify where the devices are available.

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


  • apiVersion: resource.k8s.io/v1beta2

  • kind: ResourceSlice

  • metadata (ObjectMeta)

    Standard object metadata

  • spec (ResourceSliceSpec), required

    Contains the information published by the driver.

    Changing the spec automatically increments the metadata.generation number.

ResourceSliceSpec

ResourceSliceSpec contains the information published by the driver in one ResourceSlice.


  • driver (string), required

    Driver identifies the DRA driver providing the capacity information. A field selector can be used to list only ResourceSlice objects with a certain driver name.

    Must be a DNS subdomain and should end with a DNS domain owned by the vendor of the driver. This field is immutable.

  • pool (ResourcePool), required

    Pool describes the pool that this ResourceSlice belongs to.

    ResourcePool describes the pool that ResourceSlices belong to.

    • pool.generation (int64), required

      Generation tracks the change in a pool over time. Whenever a driver changes something about one or more of the resources in a pool, it must change the generation in all ResourceSlices which are part of that pool. Consumers of ResourceSlices should only consider resources from the pool with the highest generation number. The generation may be reset by drivers, which should be fine for consumers, assuming that all ResourceSlices in a pool are updated to match or deleted.

      Combined with ResourceSliceCount, this mechanism enables consumers to detect pools which are comprised of multiple ResourceSlices and are in an incomplete state.

    • pool.name (string), required

      Name is used to identify the pool. For node-local devices, this is often the node name, but this is not required.

    • pool.resourceSliceCount (int64), required

    • devices.consumesCounters ([]DeviceCounterConsumption)

      Atomic: will be replaced during a merge

      ConsumesCounters defines a list of references to sharedCounters and the set of counters that the device will consume from those counter sets.

        TimeAdded represents the time at which the taint was added. Added automatically during create or update if not set.

        Time is a wrapper around time.Time which supports correct marshaling to YAML and JSON. Wrappers are provided for many of the factory methods that the time package offers.

      • devices.taints.value (string)

        The taint value corresponding to the taint key. Must be a label value.

  • nodeName (string)

    NodeName identifies the node which provides the resources in this pool. A field selector can be used to list only ResourceSlice objects belonging to a certain node.

    This field can be used to limit access from nodes to ResourceSlices with the same node name. It also indicates to autoscalers that adding new nodes of the same type as some old node might also make new resources available.

    Exactly one of NodeName, NodeSelector, AllNodes, and PerDeviceNodeSelection must be set. This field is immutable.

    The maximum number of counters in all sets is 32.

    *CounterSet defines a named set of counters that are available to be used by devices defined in the ResourceSlice.
