Extending Application Service to be applicable on Clusters

NetBox version

4.7.0

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Extend Application Service to be applicable for Virtualization Clusters The Model "/ipam/services/" should be extended by a new FK to be able to face a Virtualization Cluster. Furthermore the current Dropdown in Adding/Editing an application service should be extended to be able to choose "Virtualization -> Clusters" and the correspondding object as a Parent-Object.

The Cluster overview should be extended like Devices or Virtual Machines to list assigned application services.

Use case

Currently an application Service is only applicable for FHRP-Group, Virtual Machine and Devices. We currently want to track volatile Service and don't see a viable option to track these on a virtualization Cluster. E.g. in Kubernetes Clusters, Services usually won't be given a specific external IP. And given the functionality of Kubernetes, one does not simply know on which Server a service is currently hosted. We want to assign Services to Clusters as a form to track hosted Applications without definitive IP-Addresses on these Clusters.
