Custom resources

Manage custom resource definitions to control objects such as namespaces, pods and services.
Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) are extensions of the Kubernetes API. Unlike built-in resources, they are not included in the default Kubernetes installation and must be dynamically registered in a cluster. Once registered, users can manage custom resources alongside core Kubernetes objects such as namespaces, pods and services.
Introducing Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) extends Kubernetes APIs, enabling you to manage more than just container-based workloads.
To view custom resource data, follow these steps:
  1. Authenticate in the CCM application using your credentials to securely access the management dashboard.
  2. After signing in, access the CCM main dashboard. This is the central hub for all Container Cluster Management activities.
  3. On the dashboard, locate the
    Cluster table
     at the bottom of the interface, which lists all clusters under your management.
  4. Select the desired cluster in the
    Cluster table
     to open its detailed view.
  5. Within the cluster details view, open the
    Custom resources
     tab. Here, you can view and manage custom resources defined for the selected cluster.

After selecting
View details
for a cluster in the Clusters table, the Container Cluster Management details view opens. Scroll to

The Custom Resource Definitions table displays information about enabled custom resources, including:
  • Name:
     Name of the Custom Resource Definition.

  • Scope:
     Indicates the scope or type of the resource within the cluster, such as namespaced or cluster-wide, including resources like pods and services.
  • Age:
     Time since the CRD was enabled.
To view details for a specific CRD, open the overflow menu on the right side of the table and select
