POST
Import Config Cluster Configuration Async

This API replaces the existing desired configuration of the cluster with the configuration provided in the input parameter document. The API will internally validate the input configuration against the configuration schema derived from the cluster software specification associated with the cluster. If the input configuration document passes validation, then it will be the desired configuration of the cluster. The result will specify whether the input document was import successfully. The result will also list the validation errors in case the import operation failed.

POST
Precheck Cluster Configuration Async

This API will perform precheck of the desired cluster configuration on each of the hosts in the cluster. The API will check against the desired image schema whether the desired configuration has added any requirements for the host to be put in maintenance mode or to be rebooted. The API will also invoke plugins provided by the configuration owner to detect if the host needs to be put in maintenance mode or to be rebooted. If any host needs to be put in maintenance mode or rebooted, prechecks will be performed at the cluster and host level. The result will specify the validation errors if the desired configuration is not valid on the host. If valid, the result will specify host impact of the desired configuration, and list the configurations that will change on applying the desired configuration. If host impact is maintenance mode or reboot, precheck results will also be specified in the result.
