Project Gardener implements the automated management and operation of [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) clusters as a service. Its main principle is to leverage Kubernetes concepts for all of its tasks.

Recently, most of the vendor specific logic has been developed [in-tree](https://github.com/gardener/gardener). However, the project has grown to a size where it is very hard to extend, maintain, and test. With [GEP-1](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/proposals/01-extensibility.md) we have proposed how the architecture can be changed in a way to support external controllers that contain their very own vendor specifics. This way, we can keep Gardener core clean and independent.

## Configuration

Example configuration for this extension controller:

```yaml
apiVersion: shoot-fleet-agent-service.extensions.config.gardener.cloud/v1alpha1
kind: Configuration
clientConnection:
  kubeconfig: #base64encoded kubeconfig of cluster running Fleet manager
  labels: #extra labels to apply to Cluster registration
    env: dev    
```

## Extension-Resources

Example extension resource:

```yaml
apiVersion: extensions.gardener.cloud/v1alpha1
kind: Extension
metadata:
  name: "extension-shoot-fleet-agent"
  namespace: shoot--project--abc
spec:
  type: shoot-fleet-agent
```

When an extension resource is reconciled, the extension controller will register Shoot cluster in Fleet management cluster(configured in kubeconfig in Configuration object above.

Please note, this extension controller relies on existing properly configured [Fleet multi-cluster deployment](https://fleet.rancher.io/multi-cluster-install/) configured above.

## How to start using or developing this extension controller locally

You can run the controller locally on your machine by executing `make start`. Please make sure to have the kubeconfig to the cluster you want to connect to ready in the `./dev/kubeconfig` file.
Static code checks and tests can be executed by running `VERIFY=true make all`. We are using Go modules for Golang package dependency management and [Ginkgo](https://github.com/onsi/ginkgo)/[Gomega](https://github.com/onsi/gomega) for testing.
