API Schema definitions for configuring the installation of Calico and Calico Enterprise

Resource Types:

- Installation
- TigeraStatus

### Installation

Installation configures an installation of Calico or Calico Enterprise. Only one instance of this resource is supported, and it must be named, “default”. The Installation API installs core networking and network policy components, and provides general install-time configuration.

Field | Description
--- | ---
`apiVersion` string | `operator.tigera.io/v1`
`kind` string | `Installation`
`metadata` Kubernetes meta/v1.ObjectMeta | Refer to the Kubernetes API documentation for the fields of the `metadata` field.
`spec` InstallationSpec | Specification of the desired state for the Calico or Calico Enterprise installation.
`variant` ProductVariant | (Optional) Variant is the product to install - one of Calico or TigeraSecureEnterprise Default: Calico
`registry` string | (Optional) Registry is the default Docker registry used for component Docker images. If specified, all images will be pulled from this registry. If not specified, the default registries are used. Image format: `<registry>/<imagePath>/<imageName>:<tag-name>` This option allows configuring the `<registry>` portion of the above format.
`imagePath` string | (Optional) ImagePath allows for the path part of an image to be specified. If specified, the specified value is used as the image path for each image. If not specified or empty, the default for each image is used. Image format: `<registry>/<imagePath>/<imageName>:<tag-name>` This option allows configuring the `<imagePath>` portion of the above format.
`imagePullSecrets` []Kubernetes core/v1.LocalObjectReference | (Optional) ImagePullSecrets is an array of references to container registry pull secrets to use. These are applied to all images to be pulled.
`kubernetesProvider` Provider | (Optional) KubernetesProvider specifies a particular provider of the Kubernetes platform. This is often auto-detected. If specified, this enables provider-specific configuration and must match the auto-detected value (if any).
`calicoNetwork` CalicoNetworkSpec | (Optional) CalicoNetwork specifies configuration options for Calico provided pod networking.
`clusterManagementType` ClusterManagementType | (Optional) How the cluster is managed. Valid values for this field are: Standalone, Management, Managed. Standalone clusters are fully self-contained installations of Calico Enterprise. Management clusters provide a single view to manage any number of Managed clusters, which are a lighter weight installation. Default: Standalone
`status` InstallationStatus | Most recently observed state for the Calico or Calico Enterprise installation.

### TigeraStatus

TigeraStatus represents the most recently observed status for Calico or a Calico Enterprise functional area.

Field | Description
--- | ---
`apiVersion` string | `operator.tigera.io/v1`

`mtu` int32 | (Optional) MTU specifies the maximum transmission unit to use for pods on the Calico network. Default: 1410
`nodeAddressAutodetectionV4` NodeAddressAutodetection | (Optional) NodeAddressAutodetectionV4 specifies an approach to automatically detect node IPv4 addresses. If not specified, will use default auto-detection settings to acquire an IPv4 address for each node.
`nodeAddressAutodetectionV6` NodeAddressAutodetection | (Optional) NodeAddressAutodetectionV6 specifies an approach to automatically detect node IPv4 addresses. If not specified, IPv6 addresses will not be auto-detected.
