Table showing the relationship between OpenAPIv3 types and CEL types OpenAPIv3 type CEL type 'object' with Properties object / "message type" (type(<object>) evaluates to selfType<uniqueNumber>.path.to.object.from.self) 'object' with additionalProperties map 'object' with x-kubernetes-embedded-type object / "message type", 'apiVersion', 'kind', 'metadata.name' and 'metadata.generateName' are implicitly included in schema 'object' with x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields object / "message type", unknown fields are NOT accessible in CEL expression x-kubernetes-int-or-string Union of int or string, self.intOrString evaluates to true for both 50 and "50%" 'array' list 'array' with x-kubernetes-list-type=map list with map based Equality & unique key guarantees 'array' with x-kubernetes-list-type=set list with set based Equality & unique entry guarantees 'boolean' boolean 'number' (all formats) double 'integer' (all formats) int (64) no equivalent uint (64) 'null' null_type 'string' string 'string' with format=byte (base64 encoded) bytes 'string' with format=date timestamp (google.protobuf.Timestamp) 'string' with format=datetime timestamp (google.protobuf.Timestamp) 'string' with format=duration duration (google.protobuf.Duration) Also see: CEL types, OpenAPI types, Kubernetes Structural Schemas. Equality comparison for arrays with x-kubernetes-list-type of set or map ignores element order. For example [1, 2] == [2, 1] if the arrays represent Kubernetes set values. Concatenation on arrays with x-kubernetes-list-type use the semantics of the list type set : X + Y performs a union where the array positions of all elements in X are preserved and non-intersecting elements in Y are appended, retaining their partial order. map : X + Y performs a merge where the array positions of all keys in X are preserved but the values are overwritten by values in Y when the key sets of X and Y intersect. Elements in Y with non-intersecting keys are appended, retaining their partial order. Attribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
