KubeadmConfig [bootstrap.cluster.x-k8s.io/v1beta1]

Description
KubeadmConfig is the Schema for the kubeadmconfigs API.
Type
object

Specification

PropertyTypeDescription
apiVersionstring

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

kindstring

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

metadataObjectMeta

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

specobject

spec is the desired state of KubeadmConfig.

statusobject

status is the observed state of KubeadmConfig.

.spec

Description
spec is the desired state of KubeadmConfig.
Type
object
PropertyTypeDescription
bootCommandsarray

bootCommands specifies extra commands to run very early in the boot process via the cloud-init bootcmd module. bootcmd will run on every boot, 'cloud-init-per' command can be used to make bootcmd run exactly once. This is typically run in the cloud-init.service systemd unit. This has no effect in Ignition.

clusterConfigurationobject

clusterConfiguration along with InitConfiguration are the configurations necessary for the init command

diskSetupobject

diskSetup specifies options for the creation of partition tables and file systems on devices.

filesarray

files specifies extra files to be passed to user_data upon creation.

formatstring

format specifies the output format of the bootstrap data

ignitionobject

ignition contains Ignition specific configuration.

initConfigurationobject

initConfiguration along with ClusterConfiguration are the configurations necessary for the init command

joinConfigurationobject

joinConfiguration is the kubeadm configuration for the join command

mountsarray

mounts specifies a list of mount points to be setup.

ntpobject

ntp specifies NTP configuration

postKubeadmCommandsarray

postKubeadmCommands specifies extra commands to run after kubeadm runs. With cloud-init, this is appended to the runcmd module configuration, and is typically executed in the cloud-final.service systemd unit. In Ignition, this is appended to /etc/kubeadm.sh.

preKubeadmCommandsarray

preKubeadmCommands specifies extra commands to run before kubeadm runs. With cloud-init, this is prepended to the runcmd module configuration, and is typically executed in the cloud-final.service systemd unit. In Ignition, this is prepended to /etc/kubeadm.sh.

useExperimentalRetryJoinboolean

useExperimentalRetryJoin replaces a basic kubeadm command with a shell script with retries for joins.

This is meant to be an experimental temporary workaround on some environments where joins fail due to timing (and other issues). The long term goal is to add retries to kubeadm proper and use that functionality.

This will add about 40KB to userdata

For more information, refer to https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api/pull/2763#discussion_r397306055.

Deprecated: This experimental fix is no longer needed and this field will be removed in a future release. When removing also remove from staticcheck exclude-rules for SA1019 in golangci.yml

usersarray

users specifies extra users to add

verbosityinteger

verbosity is the number for the kubeadm log level verbosity. It overrides the --v flag in kubeadm commands.

clusterNamestring

controlPlaneEndpointstring

controlPlaneEndpoint sets a stable IP address or DNS name for the control plane; it can be a valid IP address or a RFC-1123 DNS subdomain, both with optional TCP port. In case the ControlPlaneEndpoint is not specified, the AdvertiseAddress + BindPort are used; in case the ControlPlaneEndpoint is specified but without a TCP port, the BindPort is used. Possible usages are: e.g. In a cluster with more than one control plane instances, this field should be assigned the address of the external load balancer in front of the control plane instances. e.g. in environments with enforced node recycling, the ControlPlaneEndpoint could be used for assigning a stable DNS to the control plane. NB: This value defaults to the first value in the Cluster object status.apiEndpoints array.

  • If not set, the default registry of kubeadm will be used, i.e.
    • registry.k8s.io (new registry): >= v1.22.17, >= v1.23.15, >= v1.24.9, >= v1.25.0
    • k8s.gcr.io (old registry): all older versions Please note that when imageRepository is not set we don't allow upgrades to versions >= v1.22.0 which use the old registry (k8s.gcr.io). Please use a newer patch version with the new registry instead (i.e. >= v1.22.17,

    = v1.23.15, >= v1.24.9, >= v1.25.0).

  • If the version is a CI build (kubernetes version starts with ci/ or ci-cross/) gcr.io/k8s-staging-ci-images will be used as a default for control plane components and for kube-proxy, while registry.k8s.io will be used for all the other images.

These files can be written into the target directory via KubeadmConfig.Files which specifies additional files to be created on the machine, either with content inline or by referencing a secret.

Required
lastTransitionTimestatustype
PropertyTypeDescription
lastTransitionTimestring

lastTransitionTime is the last time the condition transitioned from one status to another. This should be when the underlying condition changed. If that is not known, then using the time when the API field changed is acceptable.

messagestring

message is a human readable message indicating details about the transition. This field may be empty.

reasonstring

reason is the reason for the condition's last transition in CamelCase. The specific API may choose whether or not this field is considered a guaranteed API. This field may be empty.

severitystring

severity provides an explicit classification of Reason code, so the users or machines can immediately understand the current situation and act accordingly. The Severity field MUST be set only when Status=False.

statusstring

status of the condition, one of True, False, Unknown.

typestring

type of condition in CamelCase or in foo.example.com/CamelCase. Many .condition.type values are consistent across resources like Available, but because arbitrary conditions can be useful (see .node.status.conditions), the ability to deconflict is important.

observedGenerationinteger

observedGeneration represents the .metadata.generation that the condition was set based upon. For instance, if .metadata.generation is currently 12, but the .status.conditions[x].observedGeneration is 9, the condition is out of date with respect to the current state of the instance.

reasonstring

reason contains a programmatic identifier indicating the reason for the condition's last transition. Producers of specific condition types may define expected values and meanings for this field, and whether the values are considered a guaranteed API. The value should be a CamelCase string. This field may not be empty.

fieldValidationstringfieldValidation 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.
