Nutanix CCM Configuration

Nutanix CCM can be configured via a JSON formated file stored in a configmap called nutanix-config. This configmap is located in the same namespace as the Nutanix CCM deployment. See the manifests/cloud-provider-nutanix-deployment.yaml file for details on the Nutanix CCM deployment.

Example nutanix-config configmap:

---
kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: nutanix-config
  namespace: kube-system
data:
  nutanix_config.json: |-
    {
      "prismCentral": {
        "address": "${NUTANIX_ENDPOINT}",
        "port": ${NUTANIX_PORT},
        "insecure": ${NUTANIX_INSECURE},
        "credentialRef": {
          "kind": "secret",
          "name": "nutanix-creds"
        }
      },
      "enableCustomLabeling": false,
      "topologyDiscovery": {
        "type": "Categories",
        "topologyCategories": {
          "regionCategory": "${NUTANIX_REGION_CATEGORY}",
          "zoneCategory": "${NUTANIX_ZONE_CATEGORY}"
        }
      }
    }
