EndpointSlices should map 1:1 with Endpoints and Services

adiman · June 27, 2020, 1:15pm

The K8S documentation says:
By default, EndpointSlices managed by the EndpointSlice controller will have no more than 100 endpoints each. Below this scale, EndpointSlices should map 1:1 with Endpoints and Services and have similar performance.

Can someone provide an explanation for kind of 1:1 mapping is being mentioned here? Also what exactly the Endpoints in the statement EndpointSlices should map 1:1 with Endpoints and Services refer to?

Everything that can be represented in Endpoints can be represented in EndpointSlice, and for small services (less than 100 endpoints) there will be a single EndpointSlice obkect, just as there is a single Endpoints object.
