What Is a Custom Resource A custom resource is a file that you create and upload through Content Engine. When you create a video custom resource, the experience for the learner is very similar to that of doing a delivered course from our training library.

A custom resource is an object that extends the Kubernetes API or allows you to introduce your own API into a project or a cluster. A custom resource definition (CRD) file defines your own object kinds and lets the API Server handle the entire lifecycle.

What is a custom resource in Kubernetes?

What is the difference between a resource and custom resource in K8s?

What is a custom resource provider?

How do I use custom resources?

Once a custom resource is installed, users can create and access its objects using kubectl, just as they do for built-in resources like Pods. On their own, custom resources let you store and retrieve structured data.

CRDs are simple and can be created without any programming.

Can you deploy custom controllers on a cluster?

Custom controllers can work with any kind of resource, but they are especially effective when combined with custom resources. The Operator pattern combines custom resources and custom controllers.

Can custom resources overload API?

Custom resources consume storage space in the same way that ConfigMaps do. Creating too many custom resources may overload your API server's storage space.

How to delete CRD?

To delete the CRD and resources we created, simply run kubectl delete just like with any other resources. It is important to know that the above CRD is just data which can be stored and retrieved therefore, it doesn’t give us a fully declarative API. The way to make this resource fully declarative is to add a custom controller, whose job is to make sure that the current state and the desired state are always in sync. An example is something like a replication controller.

Can a CRD be a storage version?

As you can see, we can define a version of our CRD and only one version can be a storage version at a time, so keep that in mind. We then made sure that this CRD is a namespaced and not cluster wide. This allow us to create the CRD for either just a specific namespace or for the whole cluster.
