Kubernetes Virtual Machines

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

This page lists all KubeVirt virtual machines with associated information such as cluster name, node name, VM name and so on for each virtual machine running in a Kubernetes cluster(s).

If inventory has been received for a virtual machine, then that particular virtual machine in the VM name column is hyperlinked. By clicking on a hyperlinked VM name, the user is redirected to the corresponding Inventory Device Properties page.

Kubernetes inventory data will be updated to reflect new inventory, and inventory that is no longer present will be removed each and every time the Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent collects inventory from a Kubernetes cluster(s) in your environment.

Results can be exported to the following output formats: RTF, PDF, CSV, and XLSX.

Available columns

Columns are grouped into the following categories. The category name appears on the top of the column heading when you drag a property from the Column Chooser. Properties that belong to the same category appear under single category title.

  • Cluster
  • Node
  • Container Pod
  • Virtual Machine

Some columns are displayed by default and others can be displayed through the column chooser. To manage columns and other UI options, see the topics under Managing Columns in a Table.

Table 1. Properties on the Kubernetes Virtual Machines page
Field Description
Cluster properties:
Cluster ID The unique ID of the cluster containing the worker node where the pod runs the virtual machine.
Cluster name

The name of the cluster containing the worker node where the virtual machine is running. Cluster names are not guaranteed to be unique.

Node properties:
Cores The total number of processor cores available in the worker node.
Corporate unit The corporate unit responsible for the worker node.
Cost center The cost center responsible for all costs incurred for the worker node.
Location The location within your enterprise that is responsible for the worker node.
Node name The host name of the Kubernetes worker node.
Operating system The operating system of the worker node.
Processors The total number of processors available in the worker node.
Role The role assigned to the worker node, such as Development, Test, and Production.
Status The current state of the worker node. It can have any of the following values:
  • Active: The device is active, for which the inventory information is received from an inventory source.
  • Archived: The device is in transition pending deletion, but is currently held because of its historical impacts on IBM PVU sub-capacity retrospective calculations.
  • Awaiting Inventory: This device is a place-holder that has not yet appeared in imported inventory from any source.
  • Ignored: The device is not managed. An ignored device is not considered in license consumption calculations.
Container Pod properties:
Container pod name The name of the Kubernetes pod that the virtual machine is running in.
Namespace

The Kubernetes namespace for the pod where the virtual machine is running.

Status
The status of the pod (for rows displaying a Kubernetes container, this is the pod where the container is running). The status may then be one of the following "pod phases":
  • Failed
  • Pending
  • Running
  • Succeeded
  • Unknown.
For further information please see https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-lifecycle/.
UID The unique identifier of the pod where the virtual machine is running.
Virtual Machine properties:
Architecture The architecture of the virtual machine.
Cores The total number of cores assigned to the virtual machine.
Created date The date which the virtual machine was created.
Firmware UUID The globally unique firmware identifier for the virtual machine.
Guest memory The size of Random Access Memory (RAM) assigned to the virtual machine.
Image The image which the virtual machine was deployed from.
IP address The IP address of the virtual machine. For inventory devices with multiple IP addresses (for example, those with multiple network cards), a comma-separated list (up to 256 characters) is shown.
Logical processors The total number of virtual processors assigned to the virtual machine.
MAC address The Media Access Control (MAC) address of the virtual machine. If a device has multiple network interface cards, this field displays a comma-separated list of MAC addresses.
Machine type The machine type of the virtual machine.
Processor type The type of processor used by the virtual machine.
UID The unique identifier for the virtual machine.
VM name The name of the virtual machine.
