#VSphereMachineTemplate [infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io/v1beta1]

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 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

ObjectMeta is metadata that all persisted resources must have, which includes all objects users must create.

VSphereMachineTemplateSpec defines the desired state of VSphereMachineTemplate.

VSphereMachineTemplateResource describes the data needed to create a VSphereMachine from a template.

Standard object's metadata. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#metadata

Spec is the specification of the desired behavior of the machine.

AdditionalDisksGiB holds the sizes of additional disks of the virtual machine, in GiB Defaults to the eponymous property value in the template from which the virtual machine is cloned.

CloneMode specifies the type of clone operation. The LinkedClone mode is only supported for templates that have at least one snapshot. If the template has no snapshots, then CloneMode defaults to FullClone. When LinkedClone mode is enabled the DiskGiB field is ignored as it is not possible to expand disks of linked clones. Defaults to LinkedClone, but fails gracefully to FullClone if the source of the clone operation has no snapshots.

CustomVMXKeys is a dictionary of advanced VMX options that can be set on VM Defaults to empty map

DataDisks are additional disks to add to the VM that are not part of the VM's OVA template.

Datacenter is the name, inventory path, managed object reference or the managed object ID of the datacenter in which the virtual machine is created/located. Defaults to * which selects the default datacenter.

Datastore is the name, inventory path, managed object reference or the managed object ID of the datastore in which the virtual machine is created/located.

DiskGiB is the size of a virtual machine's disk, in GiB. Defaults to the eponymous property value in the template from which the virtual machine is cloned.

FailureDomain is the failure domain unique identifier this Machine should be attached to, as defined in Cluster API. For this infrastructure provider, the name is equivalent to the name of the VSphereDeploymentZone.

Folder is the name, inventory path, managed object reference or the managed object ID of the folder in which the virtual machine is created/located.

GuestSoftPowerOffTimeout sets the wait timeout for shutdown in the VM guest. The VM will be powered off forcibly after the timeout if the VM is still up and running when the PowerOffMode is set to trySoft.

This parameter only applies when the PowerOffMode is set to trySoft.

If omitted, the timeout defaults to 5 minutes.

HardwareVersion is the hardware version of the virtual machine. Defaults to the eponymous property value in the template from which the virtual machine is cloned. Check the compatibility with the ESXi version before setting the value.

MachineConfigPoolRef is a reference to the VSphereMachineConfigPool to use for this machine.

MemoryMiB is the size of a virtual machine's memory, in MiB. Defaults to the eponymous property value in the template from which the virtual machine is cloned.

NamingStrategy allows configuring the naming strategy used when calculating the name of the VSphereVM.

OS is the Operating System of the virtual machine Defaults to Linux

PciDevices is the list of pci devices used by the virtual machine.

PowerOffMode describes the desired behavior when powering off a VM.

There are three supported power off modes: hard, soft, and trySoft. The first mode, hard, is the equivalent of a physical system's power cord being ripped from the wall. The soft mode requires the VM's guest to have VM Tools installed and attempts to gracefully shut down the VM. Its variant, trySoft, first attempts a graceful shutdown, and if that fails or the VM is not in a powered off state after reaching the GuestSoftPowerOffTimeout, the VM is halted.

If omitted, the mode defaults to hard.

ProviderID is the virtual machine's BIOS UUID formatted as vsphere://12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc

ResourcePool is the name, inventory path, managed object reference or the managed object ID in which the virtual machine is created/located.

Server is the IP address or FQDN of the vSphere server on which the virtual machine is created/located.

Snapshot is the name of the snapshot from which to create a linked clone. This field is ignored if LinkedClone is not enabled. Defaults to the source's current snapshot.

StoragePolicyName of the storage policy to use with this Virtual Machine

TagIDs is an optional set of tags to add to an instance. Specified tagIDs must use URN-notation instead of display names.

Template is the name, inventory path, managed object reference or the managed object ID of the template used to clone the virtual machine.

Thumbprint is the colon-separated SHA-1 checksum of the given vCenter server's host certificate When this is set to empty, this VirtualMachine would be created without TLS certificate validation of the communication between Cluster API Provider vSphere and the VMware vCenter server.

Name is used to identify the disk definition. Name is required and needs to be unique so that it can be used to clearly identify purpose of the disk.

ProvisioningMode specifies the provisioning type to be used by this vSphere data disk. If not set, the setting will be provided by the default storage policy.

SizeGiB is the size of the disk in GiB.

API version of the referent.

If referring to a piece of an object instead of an entire object, this string should contain a valid JSON/Go field access statement, such as desiredState.manifest.containers[2]. For example, if the object reference is to a container within a pod, this would take on a value like: "spec.containers{name}" (where "name" refers to the name of the container that triggered the event) or if no container name is specified "spec.containers[2]" (container with index 2 in this pod). This syntax is chosen only to have some well-defined way of referencing a part of an object.

Template defines the template to use for generating the name of the VSphereVM object. If not defined, it will fall back to {{ .machine.name }}. The templating has the following data available:

• .machine.name: The name of the Machine object. The templating also has the following funcs available:
• trimSuffix: same as strings.TrimSuffix
• trunc: truncates a string, e.g. trunc 2 "hello" or trunc -2 "hello" Notes:
• While the template offers some flexibility, we would like the name to link to the Machine name to ensure better user experience when troubleshooting
• Generated names must be valid Kubernetes names as they are used to create a VSphereVM object and usually also as the name of the Node object.
• Names are automatically truncated at 63 characters. Please note that this can lead to name conflicts, so we highly recommend to use a template which leads to a name shorter than 63 characters.

Devices is the list of network devices used by the virtual machine.

PreferredAPIServeCIDR is the preferred CIDR for the Kubernetes API server endpoint on this machine

Deprecated: This field is going to be removed in a future release.

Routes is a list of optional, static routes applied to the virtual machine.

AddressesFromPools is a list of IPAddressPools that should be assigned to IPAddressClaims. The machine's cloud-init metadata will be populated with IPAddresses fulfilled by an IPAM provider.

DHCP4 is a flag that indicates whether or not to use DHCP for IPv4 on this device. If true then IPAddrs should not contain any IPv4 addresses.

DHCP4Overrides allows for the control over several DHCP behaviors. Overrides will only be applied when the corresponding DHCP flag is set. Only configured values will be sent, omitted values will default to distribution defaults. Dependent on support in the network stack for your distribution. For more information see the netplan reference (https://netplan.io/reference#dhcp-overrides)

DHCP6 is a flag that indicates whether or not to use DHCP for IPv6 on this device. If true then IPAddrs should not contain any IPv6 addresses.
