Assign L2 templates to machines¶

To deploy MOSK on bare metal, you must create L2 templates for each node type in the MOSK cluster. Additionally, you may have to create separate templates for nodes of the same type when they have different configuration.

To assign specific L2 templates to machines in a cluster:

Select from the following options to assign the templates to the cluster:
- Since MOSK 23.3, use the cluster.sigs.k8s.io/cluster-name label in the labels section.
- Before MOSK 23.3, use the clusterRef parameter in the spec section.
Add a unique identifier label to every L2 template. Typically, that would be the name of the MOSK node role, for example l2template-compute, or l2template-compute-5nics.
Assign an L2 template to a machine. Set the l2TemplateSelector field in the machine spec to the name of the label added in the previous step. IPAM Controller uses this field to use a specific L2 template for the corresponding machine.

Alternatively, you may set the l2TemplateSelector field to the name of the L2 template.

Consider the following examples of an L2 template assignment to a machine.

Example of an L2Template resource¶

apiVersion: ipam.mirantis.com/v1alpha1
kind: L2Template
metadata:
  name: example-node-netconfig
  namespace: my-project
  labels:
    kaas.mirantis.com/provider: baremetal
    kaas.mirantis.com/region: region-one
    l2template-example-node-netconfig: "1"
    cluster.sigs.k8s.io/cluster-name: my-cluster
    ...

Note

The kaas.mirantis.com/region label is removed from all MOSK objects in 24.1. Therefore, do not add the label starting with this release. On existing clusters updated to this release, or if added manually, MOSK ignores this label.

Note

Before MOSK 23.3, an L2 template requires clusterRef: <clusterName> in the spec section. Since MOSK 23.3, this parameter is deprecated and automatically migrated to the cluster.sigs.k8s.io/cluster-name: <clusterName> label.

Example of a Machine resource with the label-based L2 template selector¶

apiVersion: cluster.k8s.io/v1alpha1
kind: Machine
metadata:
  name: machine1
  namespace: my-project
  labels:
    cluster.sigs.k8s.io/cluster-name: my-cluster
    ...
...
spec:
  providerSpec:
    value:
      l2TemplateSelector:
        label: l2template-example-node-netconfig
...

Example of a Machine resource with the name-based L2 template selector¶

apiVersion: cluster.k8s.io/v1alpha1
kind: Machine
metadata:
  name: machine1
  namespace: my-project
  labels:
    cluster.sigs.k8s.io/cluster-name: my-cluster
    ...
...
spec:
  providerSpec:
    value:
      l2TemplateSelector:
        name: example-node-netconfig
...

Now, proceed to Deploy a machine to a specific bare metal host.
