The Cluster Node Feature Discovery operator manages detection of hardware features and configuration in a Openshift cluster. The operator orchestrates all resources needed to run the NFD DaemonSet (Upstream: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/node-feature-discovery)
Checkout the sources
$ git clone https://github.com/openshift/cluster-nfd-operator $GOPATH/src/github.com/openshift/cluster-nfd-operator
Update the Makefile
and edit IMAGE
, ORG
and REGISTRY
one will need those later to update the operator manifest (image: $(REGISTRY)/$(ORG)/$(cluster-nfd-operator:$(TAG))
).
Update the Dockerfile with the correct golang build image and the base image the operator will run with.
Checkout the sources
$ git clone https://github.com/openshift/cluster-nfd-operator
The default `NodeFeatureDiscovery` CR will create the operand (NFD) in the `node-feature-discovery-operator` namespace,
also an empty [nfd-worker-conf](https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/node-feature-discovery/v0.6/get-started/deployment-and-usage.html#configuration),
the CR can be edited to choose another namespace, image, imagePullPolicy and nfd-worker-conf. See the `manifests/0700_cr.yaml` for the default values.
```bash
IMAGE_REGISTRY=<my registry>
make deploy
Update the Makefile
with the a custom image built and configure the namespace where the operator should be deployed.
The default CR will create the operand (NFD) in the openshift-nfd
namespace, the CR can be edited to choose another namespace and image. See the manifests/0700_cr.yaml
for the default values.
$ cd cluster-nfd-operator
$ make deploy
The operator will use the NFD image built from: https://github.com/openshift/node-feature-discovery
To uninstall the operator run
$ make undeploy
To verify the correct working of NFD a e2e test can be run as well:
$ make test-e2e
First see upstream documentation of the hook feature and how to create a correct hook file: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/node-feature-discovery#local-user-specific-features.
The DaemonSet running on the workers will mount the hostPath: /etc/kubernetes/node-feature-discovery/source.d
. Additional hooks can than be provided by a sidecar container that is as well running on the workers and mounting the same hostpath and writing the hook executable (shell-script, compiled code, ...) to this directory.
NFD will execute any file in this directory, if one needs any configuration for the hook, a separate configuration directory can be created under /etc/kubernetes/node-feature-discovery/source.d
e.g. /etc/kubernetes/node-feature-discovery/source.d/own-hook-conf
, NFD will not recurse deeper into the file hierarchy.
