#Terminal Pods

Web Terminal uses short-lived Pods to provide interactive cluster and node shell sessions. Pods are created in the platform system namespace, cpaas-system by default.

#Pod Types

Cluster terminal Pods use the cluster-terminal- name prefix. Node terminal Pods use the node-terminal- prefix, include the selected node in their scheduling template, and mount the node root filesystem at /host. The node terminal shell starts in the Pod environment, so run chroot /host before operating on the node.

#Pod Discovery

The manager discovers terminal Pods with the web-terminal=true label selector.

#Capacity Limit

A cluster can hold up to 50 active cluster terminal Pods. Creating a cluster terminal is rejected once the limit is reached. Node terminal creation does not use the cluster-terminal capacity check.

The limit is fixed in each plugin version and cannot be changed after installation.
