Profile
Profiles provide a way to group multiple endpoints so that they inherit a shared set of labels. For historic reasons, Profiles can also include policy rules, but that feature is deprecated in favor of the much more flexible NetworkPolicy and GlobalNetworkPolicy resources.
Each Calico endpoint or host endpoint can be assigned to zero or more profiles.
Sample YAML​
The following sample profile applies the label stage: development
to any endpoint that includes dev-apps
in its list of profiles.
apiVersion: projectcalico.org/v3
kind: Profile
metadata:
name: dev-apps
spec:
labelsToApply:
stage: development
