We need reporting of
vSphere
vCenter
version to be shown in the metrics.Why is this needed:
The goal behind this is to add some info about the underlying infrastructure for the kubernetes cluster. Some customers were experiencing issues during the cluster upgrades, but nothing in the upgrades themselves or kubernetes code for
vSphere
provider seemingly could cause those. The issue is storage related, and happening on a variety of releases with a significant delay from any other underlying infrastructure change, to which the kubernetes cluster has no relation and a way to know about. So knowing usedvCenter
hostnames, andvSphere
versions associated with it over time would be extremely beneficial for debugging in similar circumstances.Some of the use cases we face:
vSpehre
DRS
is enabled in a customer environment, and so there occurs a periodic automated vMotion for VMs backing kuberentesNodes
. We'd like to know on which host the actual kubernetesNode
was located at any moment, and if any vCenter version transitions happened over time, new hosts added/removed/renamed.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
