Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is a managed, production-ready environment for deploying containerized applications. It brings our latest innovations in developer productivity, resource efficiency, automated operations, and open source flexibility to accelerate your time to market.

Identification

Triggers

Pattern	Trigger Node	Attribute	Condition	Argument
InferKubernetes	DiscoveredCloudAPIResultList	discovery_method	=	"Google.Kubernetes.Clusters.List"
UpdateFailureTime	DiscoveredCloudAPIResultList	discovery_method		"Google.Kubernetes.Clusters.List"
		and
		failure_reason exists

Endpoints in the REST APIs

REST APIs	Comments
Google.Kubernetes.Clusters.List	Lists all Kubernetes Clusters

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

Patterns models 'container' Cloud Service for each Cloud Region where the Google Kubernetes Cluster instance was found.

NodeKind	Attribute	Default value/Comments
CloudService	type	Kubernetes
	code	container
	name	Kubernetes

BMC Helix Discovery view of the scanned results for CloudService is the following:

Pattern models Cluster node for Kubernetes Cluster each as follows:

NodeKind	Attribute	Default value/Comments
Cluster	type	Google Kubernetes Cluster
	key	or	<rel_path>/Google Kubernetes Cluster
		or	Exciting cluster with attached Host / VM . key
	name	result.name
	short_name	result.name
	type	'Google Kubernetes Cluster'
	cloud	boolean	true
	project	discovery.access.project
	project_name	from function	cp.getProjectName(discovery.access)
	rel_path	from function	gcp.getRelPath(attrs.self_link);
	node_count	result.currentNodeCount
	cluster_name	result.name
	ip_addrs	list	[result.endpoint]
	version	result.initialClusterVersion
	status	result.selfLink
	cloud_id	from function	gcp.getRelPath(result.selfLink)
	network	result.network
	max_pods_per_node	result.defaultMaxPodsConstraint.maxPodsPerNode
	availability_zones	list	result.locations

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.
