Garden Linux OS

Gardener extension controller for the Garden Linux operating system

Gardener Extension for Garden Linux OS

This controller operates on the OperatingSystemConfig resource in the extensions.gardener.cloud/v1alpha1 API group.

It manages those objects that are requesting…

Garden Linux OS configuration (.spec.type=gardenlinux):

---
apiVersion: extensions.gardener.cloud/v1alpha1
kind: OperatingSystemConfig
metadata:
  name: pool-01-original
  namespace: default
spec:
  type: gardenlinux
  units:
    ...
  files:
    ...

Please find a concrete example in the example folder.

MemoryOne on Garden Linux configuration (spec.type=memoryone-gardenlinux):

---
apiVersion: extensions.gardener.cloud/v1alpha1
kind: OperatingSystemConfig
metadata:
  name: pool-01-original
  namespace: default
spec:
  type: memoryone-gardenlinux
  units:
    ...
  files:
    ...
  providerConfig:
    apiVersion: memoryone-gardenlinux.os.extensions.gardener.cloud/v1alpha1
    kind: OperatingSystemConfiguration
    memoryTopology: "2"
    systemMemory: "6x"

Please find a concrete example in the example folder.

After reconciliation the resulting data will be stored in a secret within the same namespace (as the config itself might contain confidential data). The name of the secret will be written into the resource’s .status field:

...
status:
  ...
  cloudConfig:
    secretRef:
      name: osc-result-pool-01-original
      namespace: default
  command: /usr/bin/env bash <path>
  units:
  - docker-monitor.service
  - kubelet-monitor.service
  - kubelet.service

The secret has one data key cloud_config that stores the generation.

An example for a ControllerRegistration resource that can be used to register this controller to Gardener can be found here.

The implementation of this controller is using Gardeners oscommon library for operating system configuration controllers.

Please find more information regarding the extensibility concepts and a detailed proposal here.

How to start using or developing this extension controller locally

You can run the controller locally on your machine by executing make start. Please make sure to have the kubeconfig to the cluster you want to connect to ready in the ./dev/kubeconfig file. Static code checks and tests can be executed by running make verify. We are using Go modules for Golang package dependency management and Ginkgo/Gomega for testing.
