This repository contains the Rancher Node Driver for Nutanix. Nutanix Node driver are used to provision hosts on Nutanix Enterprise Cloud, which Rancher uses to launch and manage Kubernetes clusters.
- Ability to select VM's Main Memory in Megabytes
- Ability to select VM's vCPU count
- Ability to set a custom name for the newly created VM
- Ability to set the number of cores per vCPU
- Ability to specify the network(s) of the VM
- Ability to specify the template disk in the VM by image name and modify his size (increase only)
- Ability to specify categories to applied to the VM ( flow, leap, ...)
- Ability to add one additional disk by specifying disk-size and storage-container
- Enable passthrough the host's CPU features to the newly created VM
If you want to use Nutanix Node Driver, you need add it in order to start using them to create node templates and eventually node pools for your Kubernetes cluster.
- From the Home view, choose Cluster Management > Drivers in the navigation bar. From the Drivers page, select the Node Drivers tab.
- Click Add Node Driver.
- Complete the Add Node Driver form. Then click Create.
