ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

k8s_info

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Kubernetes API supports fetching only metadata for single objects or Lists of objects.
When fetching objects in a large cluster, like Nodes or Pods for all namespaces, memory usage can be pretty high, and fetching metadata only can mitigate the issue.

- name: Get node list
  kubernetes.core.k8s_info:
    kind: Node
    metadata_only: true
  register: response
