Architecture

Unlike a typical device driver where devices are locally available on a Node and everything can be handled by a single plugin DaemonSet, this driver is split into three components:

• An Agent component that runs on a machine (for example a Raspberry Pi) outside the cluster, exposing attributes of USB devices connected to it.
• A Manager component that runs as one pod in the cluster, fetching data from one or more Agents and creating ResourceSlice objects in the cluster to represent the USB devices.
• The Plugin component, DaemonSet pods that handle requests from the Kubelet to prepare resource claims for pods, by attaching remote devices with USB/IP and telling the Kubelet how to mount the device to the pod.
