+# Adding custom resources to the Kubernetes API server
+
+This document describes the design for implementing the storage of custom API types in the Kubernetes API Server.
+
+
+## Resource Model
+
+### The ThirdPartyResource
+
+The `ThirdPartyResource` resource describes the multiple versions of a custom resource that the user wants to add
+to the Kubernetes API.  `ThirdPartyResource` is a non-namespaced resource, attempting to place it in a resource
+will return an error.
+
+Each `ThirdPartyResource` resource has the following:
+   * Standard Kubernetes object metadata.
+   * ResourceKind - The kind of the resources described by this third party resource.
+   * Description - A free text description of the resource.
+   * APIGroup - An API group that this resource should be placed into.
+   * Versions - One or more `Version` objects.
+
+### The `Version` Object
+
+The `Version` object describes a single concrete version of a custom resource.  The `Version` object currently
+only specifies:
+   * The `Name` of the version.
+   * The `APIGroup` this version should belong to.
+
+## Expectations about third party objects
+
+Every object that is added to a third-party Kubernetes object store is expected to contain Kubernetes
+compatible [object metadata](../devel/api-conventions.md#metadata).  This requirement enables the
+Kubernetes API server to provide the following features:
+   * Filtering lists of objects via LabelQueries
+   * `resourceVersion`-based optimistic concurrency via compare-and-swap
+   * Versioned storage
+   * Event recording
+   * Integration with basic `kubectl` command line tooling.
+   * Watch for resource changes.
+
+The `Kind` for an instance of a third-party object (e.g. CronTab) below is expected to be
+programnatically convertible to the name of the resource using
+the following conversion.  Kinds are expected to be of the form `<CamelCaseKind>`, the
+`APIVersion` for the object is expected to be `<domain-name>/<api-group>/<api-version>`.
+
+For example `example.com/stable/v1`
+
+`domain-name` is expected to be a fully qualified domain name.
+
+'CamelCaseKind' is the specific type name.
+
+To convert this into the `metadata.name` for the `ThirdPartyResource` resource instance,
+the `<domain-name>` is copied verbatim, the `CamelCaseKind` is
+then converted
+using '-' instead of capitalization ('camel-case'), with the first character being assumed to be
+capitalized.  In pseudo code:
+
+```go
+var result string
+for ix := range kindName {
+  if isCapital(kindName[ix]) {
+    result = append(result, '-')
+  }
+  result = append(result, toLowerCase(kindName[ix])
+}
+```
+
+As a concrete example, the resource named `camel-case-kind.example.com` defines resources of Kind `CamelCaseKind`, in
+the APIGroup with the prefix `example.com/...`.
+
+The reason for this is to enable rapid lookup of a `ThirdPartyResource` object given the kind information.
+This is also the reason why `ThirdPartyResource` is not namespaced.
+
+## Usage
+
+When a user creates a new `ThirdPartyResource`, the Kubernetes API Server reacts by creating a new, namespaced
+RESTful resource path.  For now, non-namespaced objects are not supported. As with existing built-in objects
+deleting a namespace, deletes all third party resources in that namespace.
+
+For example, if a user creates:
+
+```yaml
+metadata:
+  name: cron-tab.example.com
+apiVersion: experimental/v1
+kind: ThirdPartyResource
+description: "A specification of a Pod to run on a cron style schedule"
+versions:
+  - name: stable/v1
+  - name: experimental/v2
+```
+
+Then the API server will program in two new RESTful resource paths:
+   * `/thirdparty/example.com/stable/v1/namespaces/<namespace>/crontabs/...`
+   * `/thirdparty/example.com/experimental/v2/namespaces/<namespace>/crontabs/...`
+
+
+Now that this schema has been created, a user can `POST`:
+
+```json
+{
+   "metadata": {
+     "name": "my-new-cron-object"
+   },
+   "apiVersion": "example.com/stable/v1",
+   "kind": "CronTab",
+   "cronSpec": "* * * * /5",
+   "image":     "my-awesome-chron-image"
+}
+```
+
+to: `/third-party/example.com/stable/v1/namespaces/default/crontabs/my-new-cron-object`
+
+and the corresponding data will be stored into etcd by the APIServer, so that when the user issues:
+
+```
+GET /third-party/example.com/stable/v1/namespaces/default/crontabs/my-new-cron-object`
+```
+
+And when they do that, they will get back the same data, but with additional Kubernetes metadata
+(e.g. `resourceVersion`, `createdTimestamp`) filled in.
+
+Likewise, to list all resources, a user can issue:
+
+```
+GET /third-party/example.com/stable/v1/namespaces/default/crontabs
+```
+
+and get back:
+
+```json
+{
+   "apiVersion": "example.com/stable/v1",
+   "kind": "CronTabList",
+   "items": [
+     {
+       "metadata": {
+         "name": "my-new-cron-object"
+       },
+       "apiVersion": "example.com/stable/v1",
+       "kind": "CronTab",
+       "cronSpec": "* * * * /5",
+       "image":     "my-awesome-chron-image"
+    }
+   ]
+}
+```
+
+Because all objects are expected to contain standard Kubernetes metdata fileds, these
+list operations can also use `Label` queries to filter requests down to specific subsets.
+
+Likewise, clients can use watch endpoints to watch for changes to stored objects.
+
+
+## Storage
+
+In order to store custom user data in a versioned fashion inside of etcd, we need to also introduce a
+`Codec`-compatible object for persistent storage in etcd.  This object is `ThirdPartyResourceData` and it contains:
+   * Standard API Metadata
+   * `Data`: The raw JSON data for this custom object.
+
+### Storage key specification
+
+Each custom object stored by the API server needs a custom key in storage, this is described below:
+
+#### Definitions
+
+   * `resource-namespace` : the namespace of the particular resource that is being stored
+   * `resource-name`: the name of the particular resource being stored
+   * `third-party-resource-namespace`: the namespace of the `ThirdPartyResource` resource that represents the type for the specific instance being stored.
+   * `third-party-resource-name`: the name of the `ThirdPartyResource` resource that represents the type for the specific instance being stored.
+
+#### Key
+
+Given the definitions above, the key for a specific third-party object is:
+
+```
+${standard-k8s-prefix}/third-party-resources/${third-party-resource-namespace}/${third-party-resource-name}/${resource-namespace}/${resource-name}
+```
+
+Thus, listing a third-party resource can be achieved by listing the directory:
+
+```
+${standard-k8s-prefix}/third-party-resources/${third-party-resource-namespace}/${third-party-resource-name}/${resource-namespace}/
+```
