NutanixMetro

Warning

The NutanixMetro, NutanixMetroSite and NutanixVirtualHADomain resources are new in CAPX v1.10.x and are intended for Metro / disaster-recovery topologies. Review the NutanixMetroSite and NutanixVirtualHADomain resources before using them together.

The NutanixMetro resource groups exactly two NutanixFailureDomain resources into a single metro availability zone. It is the top-level object that a NutanixMetroSite and a NutanixVirtualHADomain reference.

Example of a NutanixMetro resource:

apiVersion: infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: NutanixMetro
metadata:
  name: "${METRO_NAME}"
  namespace: "${CLUSTER_NAMESPACE}"
spec:
  failureDomains:
    - name: "${FAILURE_DOMAIN_A_NAME}"
    - name: "${FAILURE_DOMAIN_B_NAME}"

NutanixMetro spec

The table below provides an overview of the supported parameters of the spec attribute of a NutanixMetro resource.

Configuration parameters

Key	Type	Description
failureDomains	list	References to the two NutanixFailureDomain objects that form the metro. Exactly two are required.
failureDomains.[].name	string	Name of a NutanixFailureDomain object in the same namespace.

Note

The failureDomains list must contain exactly two entries (minItems: 2, maxItems: 2). Each entry references a NutanixFailureDomain by name in the same namespace.

Usage Notes

• To use the NutanixMetro resource, the Prism Central user configured for CAPX must have the DR Admin role (or an equivalent role that includes the required disaster-recovery permissions).
• A NutanixMetro pairs two NutanixFailureDomain resources, each mapping to a Prism Element cluster, to represent a metro availability zone.
• The referenced NutanixFailureDomain objects must exist in the same namespace as the NutanixMetro.
• A deletion finalizer (infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io/nutanixmetro) blocks deletion of a NutanixMetro while other resources still reference it.
• The status.conditions field reflects the latest observed state of the metro.
