In the API, the effect of the feature gate is that alpha fields get dropped on
create. They get preserved during updates if already set. The
PodSchedulingContext registration is *not* restricted by the feature gate.
This enables deleting stale PodSchedulingContext objects after disabling
the feature gate.
The scheduler checks the new feature gate before setting up an informer for
PodSchedulingContext objects and when deciding whether it can schedule a
pod. If any claim depends on a control plane controller, the scheduler bails
out, leading to:
Status: Pending
...
Warning FailedScheduling 73s default-scheduler 0/1 nodes are available: resourceclaim depends on disabled DRAControlPlaneController feature. no new claims to deallocate, preemption: 0/1 nodes are available: 1 Preemption is not helpful for scheduling.
The rest of the changes prepare for testing the new feature separately from
"structured parameters". The goal is to have base "dra" jobs which just enable
and test those, then "classic-dra" jobs which add DRAControlPlaneController.
This is a complete revamp of the original API. Some of the key
differences:
- refocused on structured parameters and allocating devices
- support for constraints across devices
- support for allocating "all" or a fixed amount
of similar devices in a single request
- no class for ResourceClaims, instead individual
device requests are associated with a mandatory
DeviceClass
For the sake of simplicity, optional basic types (ints, strings) where the null
value is the default are represented as values in the API types. This makes Go
code simpler because it doesn't have to check for nil (consumers) and values
can be set directly (producers). The effect is that in protobuf, these fields
always get encoded because `opt` only has an effect for pointers.
The roundtrip test data for v1.29.0 and v1.30.0 changes because of the new
"request" field. This is considered acceptable because the entire `claims`
field in the pod spec is still alpha.
The implementation is complete enough to bring up the apiserver.
Adapting other components follows.
As agreed in https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/pull/4709, immediate
allocation is one of those features which can be removed because it makes no
sense for structured parameters and the justification for classic DRA is weak.
This is in preparation for revamping the resource.k8s.io completely. Because
there will be no support for transitioning from v1alpha2 to v1alpha3, the
roundtrip test data for that API in 1.29 and 1.30 gets removed.
Repeating the version in the import name of the API packages is not really
required. It was done for a while to support simpler grepping for usage of
alpha APIs, but there are better ways for that now. So during this transition,
"resourceapi" gets used instead of "resourcev1alpha3" and the version gets
dropped from informer and lister imports. The advantage is that the next bump
to v1beta1 will affect fewer source code lines.
Only source code where the version really matters (like API registration)
retains the versioned import.
While currently those objects only get published by the kubelet for node-local
resources, this could change once we also support network-attached
resources. Dropping the "Node" prefix enables such a future extension.
The NodeName in ResourceSlice and StructuredResourceHandle then becomes
optional. The kubelet still needs to provide one and it must match its own node
name, otherwise it doesn't have permission to access ResourceSlice objects.
Like the current device plugin interface, a DRA driver using this model
announces a list of resource instances. In contrast to device plugins, this
list is made available to the scheduler together with attributes that can be
used to select suitable instances when they are not all alike.
Because this is the first structured parameter model, some checks that
previously were not possible, in particular "is one structured parameter field
set", now gets enabled. Adding another structured parameter model will be
similar.
The applyconfigs code generator assumes that all types in an API are defined in
a single package. If it wasn't for that, it would be possible to place the
"named resources" types in separate packages, which makes their names in the Go
code more natural and provides an indication of their stability level because
the package name could include a version.
NodeResourceSlice will be used by kubelet to publish resource information on
behalf of DRA drivers on the node. NodeName and DriverName in
NodeResourceSlice must be immutable. This simplifies tracking the different
objects because what they are for cannot change after creation.
The new field in ResourceClass tells scheduler and autoscaler that they are
expected to handle allocation.
ResourceClaimParameters and ResourceClassParameters are new types for telling
in-tree components how to handle claims.
The name "PodScheduling" was unusual because in contrast to most other names,
it was impossible to put an article in front of it. Now PodSchedulingContext is
used instead.
This adds a new resource.k8s.io API group with v1alpha1 as version. It contains
four new types: resource.ResourceClaim, resource.ResourceClass, resource.ResourceClaimTemplate, and
resource.PodScheduling.
