Requirements and Design Document Drafting for Container Platform Operations: Forms and Interactions

What the data for this category looks like

Core data for container platform operations typically comes from Kubernetes APIs, image registries, monitoring systems, and CI pipelines. Daily produced documents include cluster change tickets, namespace quota tables, deployment records, and incident reports. Cluster change tickets include change time, resource adjustment items, and verification results. Namespace quota tables list namespace names and CPU/memory quotas. Deployment records link image tags and execution statuses. Incident reports are categorized by alert level. Data is updated daily or whenever a cluster change occurs.

What constraints these characteristics impose on forms and interactions

Container platform operation data relies on external APIs and real-time monitoring systems. Connect to the Kubernetes API via external systems or downstream nodes to pull real-time namespace and image tag data. This prevents manual input errors. Document fields include numerical items such as clear resource quotas and change scopes. Add value range verification logic via external business systems or downstream workflow branches. This prevents invalid parameters from being submitted and causing business interruptions. Data update frequency adjusts dynamically with cluster changes. Implement real-time refresh or scheduled pulling of the latest data via external systems or downstream nodes. This prevents static cached options from being inconsistent with actual cluster states. The hierarchical logic of incident reports and change tickets requires forms to display fields grouped by business scenario. This improves filling efficiency.

How to Configure Settings

These configuration items apply to FastGPT v4.17.0:

Configuration ItemRecommended ApproachRationale
Form input node formInputTest example: Select 3 required fields from container platform operation fields. Actual fields are determined per taskThis node collects user input. When required items are missing, check interaction status to avoid downstream nodes receiving incomplete input
User selection node userSelectTest example: Set 2 business options, check corresponding branches one by oneThis node handles user selection. Queries and filtering for container platform operation records must be implemented by downstream interfaces or external systems
Field passing after submissionTest example: Prepare 10 container platform operation input samples, covering complete filling, missing required items, and canceled operationsCompare input and node output to verify whether downstream nodes receive corresponding fields. Result thresholds are determined per actual task
External implementation item: Cluster change description input boxMust be implemented separately by external systems; 800–1200 charactersMatches the standard document length of cluster change tickets, accommodates complete change descriptions and verification steps
External implementation item: Namespace selection boxMust be implemented separately by external systems; configure logic to connect to Kubernetes API via external systems or downstream nodes to pull active namespace listAligns with the category's data source, prevents manual input of incorrect namespace identifiers
External implementation item: Submission timeout threshold configurationMust be implemented separately by external systems; use values calibrated via actual testingAdapts to CI pipeline execution cycles, prevents submission failures caused by timeouts waiting for cluster responses

Three Common Mistakes

  • Phenomenon: FastGPT's formInput node only supports text input, and cannot upload cluster configuration YAML files. Cause: No file upload related logic is configured via external systems or downstream nodes; only plain text input mode is currently enabled.
  • Phenomenon: The dropdown namespace list does not match the actual cluster state, including deleted namespaces or missing newly added namespaces. Cause: No real-time Kubernetes API pulling logic is configured via external systems or downstream nodes; a static cached list is used.
  • Phenomenon: Submitted resource quota parameters are negative or exceed reasonable ranges, causing cluster change failures. Cause: No value range verification logic is added by external business systems or downstream workflow branches; invalid input is not intercepted.

How to Confirm Configuration is Complete

  • Open the namespace selection box configured in FastGPT's userSelect node, confirm the dropdown list includes all active namespaces of the current cluster, with no redundant or missing items.
  • Test the externally configured file upload function, confirm that YAML format cluster configuration files can be uploaded without format restriction errors.
  • Try entering resource quota values that exceed reasonable ranges, confirm that the external verification logic pops up a legality prompt and intercepts invalid submissions.
  • Trigger the form submission action, confirm that the request will call the Kubernetes API or CI pipeline via external systems or downstream nodes, ensuring form data is synchronized with cluster state.
