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.
