Summary

  • Adds an optional spec.resources field to IngressController (operator.openshift.io/v1) allowing independent requests/limits overrides for the router container and the haproxy restartable init sidecar
  • Gated behind the new IngressControllerResourceConfiguration feature gate (DevPreviewNoUpgrade and TechPreviewNoUpgrade)
  • Uses a focused IngressControllerResourceRequirements type exposing only requests/limits maps — resource claims are not part of this API
  • CEL validation rejects malformed or negative quantities, quantities longer than 64 characters, more than eight entries per map, requests exceeding limits, and fractional or mismatched extended-resource values

Jira: NE-2926
Enhancement: openshift/enhancements#2163

Test plan

  • Unit tests: JSON/YAML round-trip, deepcopy, omission (operator/v1/ingresscontroller_resources_test.go)
  • Testsuite YAML with onCreate/onUpdate validation cases (operator/v1/tests/.../IngressControllerResourceConfiguration.yaml)
  • Envtest integration suite covering CEL rule behavior, gate-off schemas, cost budgets, and update flows (tests/ingresscontroller_resources_test.go)
  • make verify passes (with PROTO_OPTIONAL=1 locally; protobuf generation unrelated to this change)
  • make test-downstream green (7119 specs, 0 failures)

Walkthrough

The change adds the IngressControllerResourceConfiguration feature gate and a feature-gated resources field to IngressControllerSpec. The field supports separate resource overrides for router and HAProxy containers, with validation for resource names, list sizes, requests, limits, extended resources, and hugepages. The changed DevPreviewNoUpgrade configurations enable the gate. The other changed feature-gate manifests disable it. Tests cover creation, validation, and updates.

Suggested reviewers: miciah

Merge Risk: Low · previous review ae9d9

A typed client can fail to remove its last resource override by reslicing the list to empty. Resetting the resources value is a workaround; the narrow update failure should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: adding resource usage control for Ingress pods. It also carries the Jira key NE-2926. The changeset adds an optional spec.resources field to IngressController with requests and limits overrides for the router and haproxy containers, so the title matches the primary change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states that the PR adds an optional spec.resources field to IngressController with requests and limits overrides for the router and haproxy containers. It gates the field behind the IngressControllerResourceConfiguration feature gate and lists the CEL validation rules. It also lists the test coverage and the linked Jira and enhancement. It relates directly to the changeset.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 2 files. (9 skipped: 9 unsupported.)

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

The PR adds a feature-gated resource configuration API and generated schemas. It does not introduce any of the specified topology-dependent scheduling constraints. The node selectors shown in the new generated schema describe pre-existing API behavior.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

The changes add resource configuration and validation, not cryptographic operations or secret comparisons. The new generated schema repeats an existing DES-CBC3-SHA profile description; it does not introduce that profile.

Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs

Explanation

The PR adds resource configuration, validation, generated schemas, and tests. It adds no logging that exposes sensitive data. Logging descriptions in the new generated schema also appear in the base schema.

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

The previous failure remains unresolved. Six new test titles include the 20-character limit in operator/v1/tests/ingresscontrollers.operator.openshift.io/IngressControllerResourceConfiguration.yaml:808,834,847,873,886,912. A limit change would require title changes. tests/generator.go:195-204 uses these names as Ginkgo entry titles.

Resolution

Rename the six titles to describe the maximum length and values above the maximum without the character count.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

The new Ginkgo table entry at operator/v1/tests/ingresscontrollers.operator.openshift.io/IngressControllerResourceConfiguration.yaml:1231 checks two independent behaviors: removing the haproxy container and removing the router CPU limit. tests/generator.go:348-361 turns the entry into one Ginkgo test.

Resolution

Split the entry into separate tests for removing the container and removing the limit.

Preserve the string form in the equivalent extended-resource test.

The suite converts unquoted 1e0 to the JSON number 1. Quote both the initial and expected values so the test sends and compares the string "1e0".

Add quantity-length boundary coverage and align the stated contract.

The API and generated CRD define a 20-character maximum for request, limit, and the hugepage size suffix. Add cases at 20 characters and 21 characters for each applicable value. Use length-specific expected errors where the test harness supports them; the current positive, non-zero substring does not distinguish malformed, negative, and zero values.

If a 64-character maximum is intended instead, update the API markers, generated CRD, documentation, and tests together. Otherwise, change the stated objective to 20 characters.

How critical do we consider these workloads?

I see the risks are documented in the EP as:

  • Availability: CPU limits can throttle traffic handling and route
    updates; memory limits can cause OOM termination. Preserve existing
    requests and no-limit defaults. Document user opt-in limits and recovery
    before enabling the feature for general use.
  • Supportability: [OpenShift conventions][resource-conventions]
    advise against limits on cluster components. User-configured limits
    are an explicit policy tradeoff requiring review, not new default
    limits or an assertion that arbitrary settings are safe.

Are we OK with customers potentially shooting themselves in the foot by putting limits that result in things like OOMKilled happening on these containers? What is the potential impacts to customers where that happens?

Do we know if there is a minimum level of resources required for these containers to function properly? What happens if a customer specifies a request/limit pairing below that?

These are opt-in overrides only: defaults (router 25m/64Mi, haproxy 100m/256Mi, no limits) are unchanged, and removing an entry restores them. The API intentionally does not enforce a minimum because what the router needs depends on route count, config size, TLS, compression, etc.; the baseline is the safe default. A request below the working set causes CPU throttling/latency; a limit below it causes OOMKilled/restarts, and with a single replica that makes routes unavailable. This is now documented on spec.resources, and the EP carries the availability risk. Recovery is raising/removing the override; the operator does not silently rewrite it. For DevPreview I'd keep status out (Deployment is the source of truth), and track "surface effective per-container resources in status" as an open question in the EP before TechPreview.

Why should we allow a customer to make changes like this to their cluster that may result in severe negative impacts to the cluster?

Routes being unavailable seems like a detrimental thing - why should we support customers writing a configuration that causes this?

Because default values applied to the pods could not work for everyone and fit every use case: it is a really common request being able to customize the resources assigned to ingress pods and so we decided to make it available since customizing resource requests and limits it is a common pattern in Kubernetes and cluster administrators and platform engineer are quite confident with this kind of operation.

In addition, the rollback it is quite easy since the user have only to remove these optional values.

Omit resources when both lists are empty.

If a JSON client reslices the last override to an empty slice, it sends resources: {}. The feature-gated schema rejects the update, so removal fails. An IsZero method can omit the parent without changing validation of explicit empty lists.

@coderabbitai both nitpicks and the pre-merge check are addressed in ae9d9c4:

  • IngressControllerResourceConfiguration.yaml:167 — quoted both 1e0 values (initial and expected), so the test now sends and compares the exponent string form instead of the number 1.
  • Boundary coverage (around lines 743–807) — added accepted-at-20 and rejected-at-21 cases for request, limit, and the hugepage size suffix, with length-specific expectations (Too long for request/limit, at most 20 characters for the hugepage suffix). The hugepage case uses 000000000000000001Gi because CEL Quantity.isInteger() uses AsInt64(), which reports inf.Dec-backed 19+ digit decimal mantissas as non-integer.
  • Stable and deterministic test names — renamed Should be able to set eight resources → Should be able to set the maximum number of resources, and Should not allow more than eight resources → Should not allow resources above the maximum.

make -C operator/v1 test (2296 passed, 0 failed) and PROTO_OPTIONAL=1 make verify (exit 0) both pass.

@davidesalerno I checked ae9d9c44d. The exponent values are quoted, and the request, limit, and hugepage boundary cases are present.

The saved Stable and Deterministic Test Names finding still applies. In operator/v1/tests/ingresscontrollers.operator.openshift.io/IngressControllerResourceConfiguration.yaml, six titles at Lines 808, 834, 847, 873, 886, and 912 still include 20. Please rename them to describe the maximum length or a value above the maximum. Keep the boundary values in the test inputs.

The saved warning about test structure also remains: the test at Line 1231 removes both the haproxy container and the router limit. Consider splitting those into separate tests.

Thanks for reporting the passing local checks. I did not rerun them or the pre-merge checks. After the changes, please rerun the pre-merge checks and verify the required CI checks before merging.

After further discussions in Slack, it sounds like we need to support this feature.

That being said, I'm still concerned about allowing end-users to set limits without it being abundantly clear that setting limits is an inherently unsafe thing to do and that they should think twice about doing it.

I would strongly suggest naming this field something like unsafeLimit to convey that this field is inherently unsafe to set and that it should only be set if the end-user knows what they are doing and understands that they are responsible for any issues that result from it.

Not just limits — setting requests too large could render your router pods unschedulable.

However, I don't think it is sensible to start adding unsafe to dangerous fields. About half the existing options in the IngressController CR are equally dangerous:

  • Set the wrong IngressController.spec.domain? Wrong DNS record gets created, and ingress breaks.
  • Set IngressController.spec.replicas too low? You get too few router pod replicas, and ingress throughput degrades.
  • Misconfigure IngressController.spec.endpointPublishingStrategy? The router becomes unreachable, and ingress breaks.
  • Put a bad certificate in IngressController.spec.defaultCertificate? TLS clients get an invalid certificate, and ingress breaks.
  • Put a bogus value for IngressController.spec.namespaceSelector or IngressController.spec.routeSelector? The router stops exposing your routes, and ingress breaks.
  • Misconfigure IngressController.spec.nodePlacement? Router pods can't get scheduled, and ingress breaks.
  • Misconfigure IngressController.spec.tlsSecurityProfile? TLS clients cannot negotiate TLS sessions, and ingress breaks.
  • Misconfigure IngressController.spec.clientTLS? Router rejects TLS clients, and ingress breaks.
  • Put an invalid log format in IngressController.spec.logging.httpLogFormat? HAProxy rejects it, and ingress breaks. (Arguably we could address this with a very complicated regexp or CEL rule, but HAProxy log format strings are far from trivial to validate.)
  • IngressController.spec.tuningOptions is a whole bucket of footguns that can increase susceptibility to DoS attacks through overly generous timeouts, degrade performance through constraining threads or max connections, increase memory usage by increasing buffer sizes, cause legitimate requests to be blocked by decreasing buffer sizes, or break ingress outright by setting headerBufferBytes smaller than headerBufferMaxRewriteBytes. (The last issue could be avoided now that we have CEL and ratcheting, but the point stands that tuningOptions is a bunch of footguns.)

If we start adding "unsafe" to field names, then (a) most likely half the new fields will have "unsafe" in the name, and (b) half the old fields that really are "unsafe" might be assumed to be safe.

In my opinion, it is better to stick with the current approach: Add godoc recommending against using the field, but give customers the footgun if they insist on it.

@Miciah In the same discussion on Slack it was proposed by @everettraven to use the unsupported prefix to highlight the fact that any issue related to a wrong configuration of this field (or the parent resources one if we could like to apply the prefix to it) won't be supported by us.

I think that documenting well this it will be better than renaming based on the same observation you did on the other fields in this CRD that could drive to issues with a similar impact.

@Miciah While I understand there are a bunch of existing footguns and options we would traditionally deem "unsafe", most (if not all) of those existing options seem like "successfully set this once and things will continue to work" - I could certainly be wrong though.

I don't think that same logic applies to limits. You set a limit once and over time, as your needs scale, not adjusting those limits means that your routing layer falls over and your services running on the cluster are no longer accessible.

All this being said, I've said my peace and have received significant disagreement in response from multiple folks that will be responsible for fielding any issues that arise from misuse of this field. I won't hold this work up any further.

At the very least, make it abundantly clear in the GoDoc and any user-facing documentation that setting this field is a very dangerous thing to do and should not be taken lightly.

Add an optional spec.resources field to IngressController that configures
per-replica resources for the router and haproxy containers as a list of
named request/limit overrides, gated behind the
IngressControllerResourceConfiguration feature gate in DevPreviewNoUpgrade.

Each container list accepts 1 to 8 entries keyed on name (cpu, memory,
ephemeral-storage, hugepages-<size>, or a domain-qualified extended
resource). Admission rules reject invalid qualified names, reserved
kubernetes.io domains, the requests. prefix, non-positive quantities,
request > limit, and the extended-resource and hugepage constraints. A
limit-only entry is used as the effective request without defaulting the
API field; removing an entry restores the platform default. Document that
limits are not validated against workload needs and that a LimitRange can
add a limit when none is configured.

Cover request, limit, and hugepage 20-character boundaries in the
testsuite.

This is too vague for my liking. Please explicitly state the concrete risks of setting a limit that users may face and that they inherently accept responsibility for when setting this field.
