Managing Tags with the Scaleway Cloud Controller Manager (CCM)

Reviewed on 30 October 2023Published on 12 August 2021

Before you start

To complete the actions presented on this page, you must have:

Requirements
  • You have an account and are logged into the Scaleway console
  • You have created a Scaleway Kubernetes cluster

The Scaleway Cloud Controller Manager (CCM) will also synchronize the tags of Scaleway Instances to Kubernetes Labels on the nodes.

Note

When using Scaleway’s managed Kubernetes, Kapsule, the tags on the pool will be transformed into tags on the pool’s Instances, so applying to all Kubernetes nodes of the pool. This also works on Kosmos Scaleway pools, but not on multi-cloud pool, nor external nodes.

Labels

In order for a tag to be synced to a label, it needs to be of the form foo=bar. In this case, the Kubernetes nodes will have the label k8s.scaleway.com/foo=bar.

Once the tag is removed from the Instance, it will also be removed as a label on the node.

Non prefixed labels

It is possible to add labels not prefixed with k8s.scaleway.com. The downside is that deleting the associated tag does not remove the label. In order to have non prefixed labels, you should prefix the tag with noprefix=.

For instance, the tag noprefix=foo=bar will yield the foo=bar label on the Kubernetes nodes.

This is the only way to add custom prefixed labels like node.kubernetes.io.

Taints

In order for a tag to be synced to a taint, it needs to be of the form taint=foo=bar:Effect, where Effect is one of NoExecute, NoSchedule or PreferNoSchedule. In this case, the Kubernetes nodes will have the taint k8s.scaleway.com/foo=bar with the effect Effect.

Once the tag is removed from the instance, it will also be removed as a taint on the node.

Non prefixed Taints

It is possible to add taints not prefixed with k8s.scaleway.com. The downside is that deleting the associated tag does not remove the taint. In order to have non prefixed taints, you should prefix the taint with taint=noprefix=.

For instance, the tag taint=noprefix=foo=bar:Effect will yield the foo=bar taint on the Kubernetes nodes with the Effect effect.

This is the only way to add custom prefixed taints like node.kubernetes.io.

Special Kubernetes labels

  • node.kubernetes.io/exclude-from-external-load-balancers can be set on the Kubernetes nodes if this same value is set as a tag on the Instance. It will have the value managed-by-scaleway-ccm and will be deleted if deleted from the tags.
