API

CLARA utilizes the Kubernetes API to retrieve basic information about the pods, services and deployments running in the cluster.

The fabric8 Kubernetes client is used by CLARA to communicate to the Kubernetes API.

Concept

The Kubernetes API is queried for pods and services from the configured namespace (see configurations).
Pods are then matched to a service and all services with their respective pods and all unmatched pods are provided into the datapipeline.
