Storage Classes
By default, this is disabled.
Sync StorageClass resources from the virtual cluster to the host cluster. When enabled and when the necessary CSI driver is installed within the host cluster, vCluster updates certain parameters for the CSI driver through synced StorageClass resources.
Sync StorageClasses from the virtual to host cluster​
sync:
toHost:
storageClasses:
enabled: true
Patches​
This feature is available in the vCluster Pro tier. Contact us for more details and to start a trial.
You can modify the sync behaviour with patches that target specific paths. Currently there is 2 different kinds of patches supported.
You can use *
in paths to select all entries of an array or object, e.g. spec.containers[*].name
or spec.containers[*].volumeMounts[*]
. vCluster calls the patch multiple times when using the wildcard reference.
JavaScript Expression Patches​
These are powerful JavaScript ES6 compatible expression patches that can be used to change a field while syncing. You define how it changes when syncing from the virtual cluster into the host cluster or when syncing from the host cluster into the virtual cluster. To change the path metadata.annotations[*] you can do:
sync:
toHost:
storageClasses:
enabled: true
patches:
- path: metadata.annotations[*]
expression: '"my-prefix-"+value'
# optional reverseExpression to reverse the change from the host cluster
# reverseExpression: 'value.slice("my-prefix".length)'
There is also a variable called context
besides value
that can be used to access specific data of the virtual cluster:
context.vcluster.name
: Name of the virtual clustercontext.vcluster.namespace
: Namespace of the virtual clustercontext.vcluster.config
: Config of the virtual cluster, basicallyvcluster.yaml
merged with the defaultscontext.hostObject
: Host object (can be null if not available)context.virtualObject
: Virtual object (can be null if not available)context.path
: The matched path on the object, useful when using wildcard path selectors (*)
Reference patches​
A reference patch can be used to have a specific field of one resource point to a different resource that should get rewritten. vCluster automatically imports the referenced resource to the virtual cluster if it can find it in the host cluster. For example:
sync:
toHost:
storageClasses:
enabled: true
patches:
- path: metadata.annotations["my-secret-ref"]
reference:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
With this yaml, vCluster translates the path metadata.annotations["my-secret-ref"]
as it points to a secret. If the secret is created in the host cluster, vCluster automatically imports it into the virtual cluster.
With multi-namespace-mode you only need to rewrite references that include a namespace. You can use the namespacePath
option to specify the path of the namespace of the reference.
Config reference​
storageClasses
required object pro​
StorageClasses defines if storage classes created within the virtual cluster should get synced to the host cluster.
storageClasses
required object pro​enabled
required boolean false pro​
Enabled defines if this option should be enabled.
enabled
required boolean false pro​patches
required object[] pro​
Patches patch the resource according to the provided specification.
patches
required object[] pro​path
required string pro​
Path is the path within the patch to target. If the path is not found within the patch, the patch is not applied.
path
required string pro​expression
required string pro​
Expression transforms the value according to the given JavaScript expression.
expression
required string pro​reverseExpression
required string pro​
ReverseExpression transforms the value according to the given JavaScript expression.
reverseExpression
required string pro​reference
required object pro​
Reference treats the path value as a reference to another object and will rewrite it based on the chosen mode
automatically. In single-namespace mode this will translate the name to "vxxxxxxxxx" to avoid conflicts with
other names, in multi-namespace mode this will not translate the name.
reference
required object pro​apiVersion
required string pro​
APIVersion is the apiVersion of the referenced object.
apiVersion
required string pro​apiVersionPath
required string pro​
APIVersionPath is optional relative path to use to determine the kind. If APIVersionPath is not found, will fallback to apiVersion.
apiVersionPath
required string pro​kind
required string pro​
Kind is the kind of the referenced object.
kind
required string pro​kindPath
required string pro​
KindPath is the optional relative path to use to determine the kind. If KindPath is not found, will fallback to kind.
kindPath
required string pro​namePath
required string pro​
NamePath is the optional relative path to the reference name within the object.
namePath
required string pro​namespacePath
required string pro​
NamespacePath is the optional relative path to the reference namespace within the object. If omitted or not found, namespacePath equals to the
metadata.namespace path of the object.
namespacePath
required string pro​labels
required object pro​
Labels treats the path value as a labels selector.
