Understanding the status for Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager resource placement

Applies to: ✔️ Fleet Manager with hub cluster

When you work with Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager, understanding the status of your ClusterResourcePlacement resources is crucial for monitoring deployment progress and troubleshooting issues.

When you work with Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager, understanding the status of your ResourcePlacement resources is crucial for monitoring deployment progress and troubleshooting issues.

Prerequisites

You have a Fleet Manager with a hub cluster and one or more member clusters. If you don't have one, see Create an Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager resource and join member clusters.
You have access to the Fleet Manager hub cluster. For more information, see Access the Kubernetes API for an Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager hub cluster.

You deployed at least one ClusterResourcePlacement to distribute your resources. If you didn't, see Use cluster resource placement to deploy workloads across multiple clusters.

You deployed at least one ResourcePlacement API object to place your resources into the fleet. If you didn't, see Use cluster resource placement to deploy workloads across multiple clusters.

Overview of placement status structure

The ClusterResourcePlacement object contains not only the descriptive spec about the placement, but also the status of the placement operation.

The ResourcePlacement object contains not only the descriptive spec about the placement, but also the status of the placement operation.

The status section provides detailed information about:

Overall placement status expressed through conditions
Resources selected by the placement
Per-cluster placement status expressed through conditions
Failed, drifted, and diffed placements in each cluster

To view the status of a placement, use the following command:

kubectl describe clusterresourceplacement <placement-name>

kubectl describe resourceplacement <placement-name> -n <namespace-name>

To get the raw YAML output, use the following command:

kubectl get clusterresourceplacement <placement-name> -o yaml

kubectl get resourceplacement <placement-name> -n <namespace-name> -o yaml

Top-level status fields

The status section contains the following top-level fields:

selectedResources: List of resources selected by the placement
conditions: Array of overall placement conditions
observedResourceIndex: Index of the current resource snapshot
placementStatuses: Per-cluster placement status information

The following sections examine each field in detail.

Selected resources

The selectedResources field lists all resources that the placement selects. Use this field to check if the expected resources are included in the placement. Here's an example:

selectedResources:
- kind: Namespace
  name: test
  version: v1
- kind: ConfigMap
  name: test-config
  namespace: test
  version: v1
  envelope:
    name: example-envelope
    namespace: test
    type: ResourceEnvelope
- kind: Deployment
  name: web-app
  namespace: test
  group: apps
  version: v1
- kind: Service
  name: web-service
  namespace: test
  version: v1
- kind: Secret
  name: app-secrets
  namespace: test
  version: v1

selectedResources:
- kind: ConfigMap
  name: test-config
  version: v1
  envelope:
    name: example-envelope
    namespace: test
    type: ResourceEnvelope

  name: web-app
  group: apps
  version: v1
- kind: Service
  name: web-service
  version: v1

  name: app-secrets
  version: v1

Each resource entry includes:

group: API group (empty for core resources)
version: API version (for example, v1, v1beta1)
kind: Resource kind

namespace: Namespace (for namespaced resources)

envelope: If a resource is wrapped in an envelope, the envelope metadata is also provided, which includes:
- name: Name of the envelope

namespace: Namespace of the envelope

type: Type of the envelope (for example, ResourceEnvelope)

Placement conditions

The conditions array provides high-level status information about the entire placement. Each condition follows the Kubernetes common definition, which has the following standard fields:

  observedGeneration: 5

Resource snapshots

The observedResourceIndex field indicates which snapshot of resources is currently being deployed.

observedResourceIndex: "1"

Fleet Manager creates resource snapshots differently depending on the rollout strategy:

For RollingUpdate strategy (default): Fleet Manager automatically creates resource snapshots when:

The resource selectors change
You modify the selected resources

For External strategy: Fleet Manager doesn't automatically create resource snapshots. Instead, it creates them when you execute a staged update run and omit the resourceSnapshotIndex field. This condition means that when you first create a placement with an External rollout strategy, no resource snapshots exist until you run the first staged update run.

Note

If a placement previously used the RollingUpdate strategy and you change it to External, the existing resource snapshots remain available. You can reference these existing snapshots when creating staged update runs.

Each snapshot has a unique index. You can view snapshots by using:

kubectl get clusterresourcesnapshot --selector=kubernetes-fleet.io/resource-index=1

kubectl get resourcesnapshot -n <namespace-name> --selector=kubernetes-fleet.io/resource-index=1

Per-cluster placement status

The placementStatuses array contains detailed status for each cluster where resources are placed or attempted to be placed:

condition: The specific failure condition
envelope: Envelope information, if applicable

Drifted placements

Fleet Manager always reports resources that drift from their desired state:

driftedPlacements:

Resource identification: group, version, kind, name, namespace
observationTime: When the drift was last observed
firstDriftedObservedTime: When drift was first detected
targetClusterObservedGeneration: Generation of the resource on the member cluster
observedDrifts: Detailed list of configuration differences

Diffed placements

When you use the ReportDiff apply strategy, Fleet Manager reports configuration differences.

diffedPlacements:
- kind: Service
  name: my-service
  namespace: default
  version: v1
  observationTime: "2025-03-19T06:50:25Z"
  firstDiffedObservedTime: "2025-03-19T06:49:54Z"
  targetClusterObservedGeneration: 8
  observedDiffs:
  - path: "/spec/ports/0/nodePort"
    valueInHub: ""
    valueInMember: "30080"
  - path: "/spec/clusterIP"
    valueInHub: ""
    valueInMember: "10.96.100.200"
- kind: Deployment
  name: web-app
  namespace: default
  group: apps
  version: v1
  observationTime: "2025-03-19T06:50:25Z"
  firstDiffedObservedTime: "2025-03-19T06:49:54Z"
  targetClusterObservedGeneration: 12
  observedDiffs:
  - path: "/status/replicas"
    valueInHub: ""
    valueInMember: "3"
  - path: "/status/readyReplicas"
    valueInHub: ""
    valueInMember: "3"
  - path: "/metadata/generation"
    valueInHub: "1"
    valueInMember: "2"

Diffed placements have a similar structure to drifted placements but are used for different scenarios:

Drifted placements: Use when you apply resources but then change them.
Diffed placements: Use with ReportDiff strategy or when takeover conditions aren't met.

Monitoring placement progress

To effectively monitor placement progress, check these key indicators:

Resource placed: Verify ClusterResourcePlacementWorkSynchronized is True
Overall health: Look at the ClusterResourcePlacementApplied condition
Per-cluster status: Review conditions for each target cluster
Failed placements: Check for any entries in failedPlacements arrays

Resource placed: Verify ResourcePlacementWorkSynchronized is True
Overall health: Look at the ResourcePlacementApplied condition
Per-cluster status: Review conditions for each target cluster
Failed placements: Check for any entries in failedPlacements arrays
