API Resources

The full list of API resources (primitives, API objects) available to interact with in Kubernetes, including custom resources, is generated by:

Names

https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/names/#names

All objects in the Kubernetes REST API are unambiguously identified by a name and a UID.

When a resource is created, the desired name is specified in the metadata.name manifest field. The name of the resource is used as part of resource URL, such as "/api/v1/pods/my-pod", so the name must respect constraints common to DNS names. There are three sub-categories of constrains a resource name should comply with:

DNS Subdomain Names

https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/names/#dns-subdomain-names

Most resource types require a name that can be used as a DNS subdomain name as defined in RFC 1123:

  • contains no more than 253 characters
  • contains only lowercase alphanumeric characters, '-' or '.'
  • starts with an alphanumeric character
  • ends with an alphanumeric character

DNS Label Names

https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/names/#dns-label-names

Some resource types require that their name follows the DNS label standard, as defined in RFC 1123:

  • contains at most 63 characters
  • contains only lowercase alphanumeric characters or '-'
  • starts with an alphanumeric character
  • ends with an alphanumeric character

Path Segment Names

https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/names/#path-segment-names

UIDs
