BucketPool

A BucketPool is a resource in Ironcore that represents a pool of storage buckets managed collectively. It defines the infrastructure's storage configuration used to provision and manage buckets, ensuring resource availability and compatibility with associated BucketClasses.

Example BucketPool Resource

An example of how to define a BucketPool resource in Ironcore

apiVersion: storage.ironcore.dev/v1alpha1
kind: BucketPool
metadata:
  name: bucketpool-sample
spec:
  providerID: ironcore://shared
#status:
#  state: Available
#  availableBucketClasses:
#    ironcore.dev/fast-class: 10Gi
#    ironcore.dev/slow-class: 100Gi

Key Fields:

• ProviderID(string): The providerId helps the controller identify and communicate with the correct storage system within the specific backened storage porvider.

  for example ironcore://shared

Reconciliation Process:

• Bucket Type Discovery: It constantly checks what kinds of buckets (BucketClasses) are available in the Ironcore Infrastructure.

• Compatibility Check: Evaluating whether the BucketPool can create and manage each bucket type based on its capabilities.

• Status Update: Updating the BucketPool's status to indicate the bucket types it supports, like a menu of available options.

• Event Handling: Watches for changes in BucketClass resources and ensures the associated BucketPool is reconciled when relevant changes occur.
