API Discovery of GKE
Google Kubernetes Cluster can also be discovered via API Provider credentials. This type of scan provides a more extended model of Kubernetes Clusters, i.e., more nodes, attributes, and links. For complete information on Kubernetes clusters discovered via API, see Kubernetes documentation.
To use this discovery method, API access to the Kubernetes cluster should be configured. Use the following links to read about the configuration setup:
Please note that read (get/list) permissions for the required resources should be granted to your Service Account. Discovery retrieves the required resources by executing the API queries described in Kubernetes API queries paragraph.
Attributes
Pattern models ClusterService node as follows:
| NodeKind | Attribute | Default value/Comments |
|---|---|---|
| ClusterService | type | Kubernetes |
| code | container | |
| name | Kubernetes |
BMC Helix Discovery view of the scanned results for CloudService is the following:
Pattern models Cluster node as follows:
| NodeKind | Attribute | Default value/Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Cluster | type | Google Kubernetes Cluster |
| key | <rel_path>/<TYPE> | |
| name | <name> | |
| cloud | true | |
| project | ||
| project_name | ||
| rel_path | ||
| virtual machine |
Model visualization is represented below:
BMC Helix Discovery view of the scanned results for Cluster is the following:
Discovery does not model containers because of the API data limitation.
