PMK allows the users to set the request and limits of an add-on. This guide walks through the steps involved in setting these resources, as well as, describes the available resource fields per add-on.

How to use this feature

  • On the workload cluster, list the add-ons to ensure that the add-on you are looking to modify is available.

  • Pick the add-on you wish to add resource specifications to. In this example, we will use metalLB. Edit the metalLB add-on object, and add the following fields to it under the override.params section:

  • Save and exit.

Important

It is important to set the localOverride field in the addon object. Without this set, the default behavior of sunpike being the source of truth will continue.

If there is a key in the override list that the addon operator does not recognize, it will simply ignore it.

  • Once these fields are set, you will see the values showing up on the actual addon objects.
