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.
