Configuration

Enable or disable synced resources​

To enable a resource synchronization, for example persistent volumes, and automatically create the necessary RBAC permissions, add the following to your values.yaml:

sync:
  persistentvolumes:
    enabled: true

then create or upgrade the vCluster with:

vcluster create my-vcluster --upgrade -f values.yaml

To disable a resource that is synced by default, for example if you don't want to sync services, set the following in your values.yaml:

sync:
  services:
    enabled: false

then create or upgrade the vCluster with:

vcluster create my-vcluster --upgrade -f values.yaml
Correct Cluster Functionality

Disabling certain resources such as services, endpoints or pods can lead to a non-functional virtual Kubernetes cluster, so be careful with what resources you are deactivating.

Sync all Secrets and Configmaps​

With the new generic sync, vCluster currently only knows about a couple of resources that actually use secrets / configmaps and will try to sync only those into the host cluster, but this allows syncing of all secrets and configmaps to avoid the problem that needed secrets / configmaps are not synced to the host cluster. To enable this, simply add the following values to the helm chart / vCluster cli options:

sync:
  secrets:
    all: true
  configmaps:
    all: true

Extra Pod Options​

By default ephemeral containers and readiness gates will not be synced by vCluster, as they require additional permissions. To enable those, please activate those within your values.yaml:

sync:
  pods:
    enabled: true
    # Sync ephemeralContainers to host cluster
    ephemeralContainers: true
    # Sync readiness gates to host cluster
    status: true
