Description

Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager’s cluster resource placement has two new preview features to provide more control over placement conflict resolution.  

 

Using the new “applyStrategy”, an operator can define how Fleet Manager resolves conflicts when attempting to place a workload where a clashing workload exists and how to treat configuration drift of a placed workload. Additionally, using the new “ReportDiff” apply mode, an operator can inspect the drift state of a workload across all clusters on which it is deployed.
