Summary

Prepare the v1alpha1 API for eventual version bump by addressing best-practices gaps identified during an API review. No breaking changes — all additions are backward compatible.

  • Add godoc descriptions to all exported types and fields (visible in kubectl explain and generated API docs)
  • Add +optional markers to all optional fields
  • Add +listType=map / +listMapKey=type on Conditions slices for correct Server-Side Apply merge behavior
  • Add +listType=atomic on all other slices for explicit SSA semantics
  • Add CEL validation: isIP() on BGPNeighbor.Address, isCIDR() on NetworkConfig.Subnets, MinLength on Region and Network.Name
  • Add short names (bgpcc, bgpr) and categories (networking) for kubectl convenience
  • Add Platform and LocalASN print columns to CUDNBgpConfig
  • Replace internal CEL rationale comment on spec type with user-facing description

Part of a broader v1beta1 release plan. CRD naming for the version bump is still under discussion.

Test plan

  • make generate manifests — CRDs regenerated successfully
  • make build — compiles cleanly
  • make test — all unit tests pass (76% controller coverage, no regressions)
  • Verify kubectl explain cudnbgpconfig.spec shows field descriptions on a cluster
  • Verify kubectl get bgpcc short name works
  • Verify kubectl get networking includes both CRDs
  • Verify CEL validation rejects invalid IP addresses and CIDRs

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updated CUDN BGP configuration and routing API types and CRDs. Added IP validation for neighbor addresses and CIDR validation for routing subnets. Added Kubernetes list semantics for neighbor, peer-group, route-server, subnet, and condition fields. Expanded API documentation. Added resource short names, the networking category, printer columns, and status metadata.

Suggested reviewers: aswinsuryan, gavrielg1, alebedev87

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d47c5

The API changes add subnet validation and update deployment metadata, but same-family subnet pairs can still be accepted and later leave routing resources failed, while the manager container lacks a requested filesystem-hardening setting. These are bounded correctness and security-hardening gaps requiring owner awareness or follow-up.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 2 files. (4 skipped: 4 unsupported.)

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

The pull request changes only API type declarations and generated CRD/CSV manifests. The full diff contains no added or modified test files, and no added Ginkgo test-title calls such as It, Describe, Context, or When. Therefore, it introduces no unstable or overly specific test names.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only API type declarations and generated CRD/CSV manifests. The complete diff from base 149a02f to HEAD d47c58c contains no *_test.go files and no Ginkgo test changes. Therefore, this check introduces no changed test code that can violate its single-responsibility, cleanup, timeout, assertion-message, or repository-consistency requirements.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only API type declarations and generated CRD/CSV manifests. The diff against main contains no added or modified e2e test files and no added Ginkgo declarations. Therefore, the MicroShift test compatibility check does not apply.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

The check is not applicable. The PR changes only API type declarations and generated CRD/CSV manifests; no e2e or test files are changed. The added lines contain no Ginkgo constructs such as It, Describe, Context, or When, and no SNO topology assumptions are introduced.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS — The pull request changes only API type declarations, generated CRDs, and CSV descriptions/timestamp. The exact diff contains no added or modified Deployment/StatefulSet/DaemonSet scheduling constraints, PDBs, affinity, topology spread, replica strategy, node selectors, or tolerations. Existing nodeSelector fields and the CSV deployment replica context are unchanged. The topology-aware scheduling check is therefore not triggered.

Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract

Explanation

PASS — the pull request does not introduce an OTE stdout violation. The complete PR diff changes only API declarations, CRD manifests, and CSV descriptions. cmd/main.go and both Ginkgo suite files are byte-for-byte unchanged. The changed API init() functions only register schemes, and a repository scan found no direct stdout writes, klog use, or standard logging output configuration in process-level code.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS — The PR changes only API type declarations and generated CRD/CSV manifests. The complete two-commit diff from d555c7d^ to d47c58c contains no test files, Ginkgo declarations, or added external-connectivity code. Therefore, this check is not applicable.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only API type declarations, comments, validation markers, generated CRD/CSV metadata, and timestamps. The exact diff contains no MD5, SHA1, DES, 3DES, RC4, Blowfish, ECB, cryptographic API, custom crypto implementation, or secret/token comparison. AST inspection shows no new executable functions in the changed Go files.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

No listed container privilege condition was introduced. The PR diff changes API Go types, CRDs, and CSV descriptions/timestamp only; it contains no added privileged: true, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, root execution, or allowPrivilegeEscalation: true. The CSV deployment retains allowPrivilegeEscalation: false, runAsNonRoot: true, and drops all capabilities.

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

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only API comments, CRD schemas, validation markers, list metadata, print columns, and CSV descriptions. The exact diff adds no logging calls or sensitive fields/values. No changed file contains logging code, and the added Platform/LocalASN print columns do not expose passwords, tokens, keys, PII, session IDs, hostnames, or customer data.

Kubernetes CRD CEL validation ratcheting unchanged updates supported versions Kubernetes 1.29 1.30 1.31

💡 Result:

Validation ratcheting for CustomResourceDefinitions (CRDs) allows the API server to accept updates to resources that fail validation, provided that the invalid parts of the resource remain unchanged by the update operation [1]. This mechanism helps prevent breaking changes when updating validation schemas [2][3]. Support across the requested Kubernetes versions is as follows: Kubernetes 1.29: The CRDValidationRatcheting feature was available as an Alpha feature and required the --feature-gates=CRDValidationRatcheting=true flag to be explicitly enabled [4][5]. In this version, x-kubernetes-validations (CEL) rules were ratcheted only if they did not refer to oldSelf [1]. Kubernetes 1.30 and 1.31: The CRDValidationRatcheting feature was promoted to Beta and is enabled by default [4][5][6]. Under this implementation, validation ratcheting applies to most OpenAPI schema validations and supported x-kubernetes-validations [1]. Specifically, CEL rules are automatically ratcheted if they do not use oldSelf and the underlying value is unchanged [1][6]. Transition rules (which use oldSelf) are never ratcheted [1]. Key considerations: - Ratcheting logic: When enabled, the API server performs a comparison (conceptually similar to reflect.DeepEqual) of the old and new field values [7]. If a field fails validation but the value has not changed, the error is ignored, allowing the update to proceed [1]. - Scope: This mechanism cannot be used to turn a previously valid resource into an invalid one; it only permits existing violations to persist if the corresponding fields are not modified [1]. - Compatibility: CEL compatibility versioning ensures that CEL expressions remain evaluable when read by newer or older control plane versions, acting as a specialized component of the broader validation ratcheting framework [8][9].

site:kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/extend-kubernetes/custom-resources/custom-resource-definitions validation ratcheting CEL rule unchanged field nested object self

💡 Result:

In Kubernetes Custom Resource Definition (CRD) validation using CEL (Common Expression Language), validation ratcheting is a mechanism designed to improve the compatibility of evolving validation rules [1]. Validation Ratcheting and "Unchanged Field" Behavior: 1. Core Mechanism: Validation ratcheting ensures that if a field's value has not been changed in an update, an error generated by a validation rule will not block the update if that rule was not previously failing [1]. 2. Constraint on oldSelf: Ratcheting applies only to rules that do not refer to the oldSelf variable [1]. Because transition rules—which by definition compare the new state to the old state—require oldSelf, they are never ratcheted [1]. 3. Scope and self: When a validation rule is placed within a nested object's schema, the self variable is scoped to that specific nested object [1]. Consequently, self refers to the object at that level of the hierarchy, allowing access to its properties (e.g., self.field) and the ability to check for field presence using has(self.field) [1]. In summary, if you have a validation rule on a nested object, the rule evaluates the object's current state via self [1]. If that validation rule does not use oldSelf, and you update a different part of the parent resource while leaving the nested object unchanged, the validation engine will not enforce the rule if it would otherwise fail, effectively "ratcheting" the validation state forward [1]. If the rule utilizes oldSelf, it is categorized as a transition rule and will be evaluated regardless of whether the field was changed [1].

Add a migration plan for legacy NetworkConfig objects with invalid subnets.

Kubernetes 1.31+ ratchets this rule only when the validated NetworkConfig value is unchanged. Changing network.name changes that value, so self.subnets.all(s, s.isCIDR()) can reject an unchanged invalid subnet. The field-level BGPNeighbor.Address rule does not have this limitation.

Set readOnlyRootFilesystem: true for the manager container.

The embedded Deployment disables privilege escalation and drops all capabilities, but its container securityContext does not make the root filesystem read-only. Add this setting, and mount a narrowly scoped writable volume only if the manager requires filesystem writes.

As per path instructions, Kubernetes/OpenShift workloads must set securityContext.runAsNonRoot, securityContext.readOnlyRootFilesystem, and securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation: false.

OVN-Kubernetes ClusterUserDefinedNetwork v1 layer2 ipam subnets one IPv4 one IPv6 dual-stack API specification

💡 Result:

In OVN-Kubernetes, the ClusterUserDefinedNetwork (CUDN) API [1][2] supports dual-stack configurations for Layer2 network topologies by allowing the definition of subnets that include both IPv4 and IPv6 CIDRs [1][3]. For a Layer2 ClusterUserDefinedNetwork, the specification for dual-stack IPAM is handled via the subnets field within the network definition [1][2]. When configuring dual-stack support, the subnets array accepts up to two CIDRs: one for the IPv4 subnet and one for the IPv6 subnet [1][2][3]. Key specifications for this configuration include: 1. Subnets Definition: The subnets field is an array of strings [1][2]. For dual-stack, you provide one IPv4 CIDR and one IPv6 CIDR [2][3]. The format must follow standard CIDR notation (e.g., ["10.128.0.0/16", "2001:db8::/64"]) [1][2]. 2. IPAM Mode: When ipam.mode is set to Enabled, OVN-Kubernetes manages the IP assignment from these specified subnets to the pods [4][2]. 3. Layer2 Behavior: When ipam.mode is Enabled, OVN-Kubernetes applies IP configuration to the SDN infrastructure and assigns IPs automatically, eliminating the need for external IPAM (such as a DHCP server) [4][2]. If ipam.mode is set to Disabled, the subnets field must be omitted, and OVN-Kubernetes will only provide Layer2 connectivity (MAC address assignment), requiring users to manage IP address configuration on the pods themselves [4][2][3]. 4. Constraints: The subnets field supports a maximum of 2 items (one per IP family) [2][3]. It is required when ipam.mode is Enabled and must be omitted when ipam.mode is Disabled [4][2]. These settings ensure that the logical switch implementing the Layer2 network correctly handles dual-stack traffic distribution within the cluster [1][2][3].

site:github.com/ovn-kubernetes/ovn-kubernetes "subnets" "one IPv4" "one IPv6" ClusterUserDefinedNetwork validation

💡 Result:

In ClusterUserDefinedNetwork (CUDN) configurations, subnet validation is strictly enforced to ensure network integrity and prevent routing conflicts [1][2][3]. The following requirements and validation rules apply: Masking Requirements Subnets must be provided as masked network addresses (no host bits set) [1]. Providing unmasked CIDRs (e.g., specifying a host IP within the CIDR range) will trigger a validation error [1]. This rule applies to both standard subnets and specific fields like infrastructure and reserved subnets [1]. Dual-Stack and Multi-Subnet Support Clusters may support dual-stack configurations, allowing one IPv4 and one IPv6 subnet [4]. Recent updates allow support for multiple cluster-subnets of the same IP family in Layer3 topologies, provided they do not overlap [2]. Overlap and Conflict Detection The system performs active overlap detection to prevent routing conflicts [2][3]. When multiple networks are configured—particularly those targeting the default virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance—the controller validates that new subnets do not overlap with existing, previously selected subnets [3]. If a conflict is detected, the configuration will fail [3]. Topology-Specific Constraints Layer3 Topologies: Support advanced configuration where the main subnet can be split into smaller host subnets (e.g., using a mask like 10.128.0.0/16/24, where the /24 defines the host subnet size) [4]. Layer2 and Localnet Topologies: Require standard CIDR notation and do not support host subnet mask splitting [4]. Infrastructure and Reserved Subnets: These are restricted to a maximum of 10 entries per network, and they must be within the range of the primary subnets defined for the network [5]. Validation Implementation Validation is implemented via CEL (Common Expression Language) rules and Go-controller logic to enforce these constraints at the API level [1][4][6]. These rules ensure, for example, that infrastructure/reserved subnets are correctly formatted, do not overlap with each other, and align with the IP family constraints of the cluster [1][5]. Top results: [1][5][2][3][4]

Reject subnet pairs from the same IP family.

The validation accepts two IPv4 or two IPv6 CIDRs. The Layer2 ClusterUserDefinedNetwork API allows two subnets only when they represent both IP families. Such a pair can fail in EnsureCUDN and set the routing resource to CUDNFailed.

Add a CEL rule that rejects same-family pairs.

Warning

Retracted -- the diagnosis below is wrong. isIP and isCIDR are
available; they were simply called method-style. See the follow-up comment.

Hi @jpinsonneau -- I think we may have hit a snag with the two CEL rules added here, though I would welcome a second pair of eyes in case I have misread it.

I believe the trouble is that isIP() and isCIDR() are not available to CRD x-kubernetes-validations on the clusters we test against, so both CRDs get refused. On a 4.22.10 cluster (Kubernetes 1.35):

$ oc apply --dry-run=server -f bundle/manifests/networking.openshift.io_cudnbgproutings.yaml
The CustomResourceDefinition "cudnbgproutings.networking.openshift.io" is invalid:
... compilation failed: ERROR: <input>:1:29:
found no matching overload for 'isCIDR' applied to 'string.()'
 | self.subnets.all(s, s.isCIDR())

It looks specific to those helpers rather than to CEL generally -- a minimal CRD carrying only self.isIP() is refused the same way, while self.matches(...) and self.size() > 0 are accepted.

The knock-on effect seems to be that bundle installs do not complete, which is what I ran into on #84. If a CRD is never created it never becomes Established, so OLM keeps the CSV in Pending and operator-sdk run bundle eventually times out. The CSV on the CI cluster reports:

phase: Pending   reason: RequirementsNotMet
  cudnbgpconfigs.networking.openshift.io  -> NotPresent  "CRD is not present"
  cudnbgproutings.networking.openshift.io -> NotPresent  "CRD is not present"

I have put a fix on #84 so that PR can get through CI: b8dfb880. It expresses the same intent as OpenAPI pattern constraints and adds MaxLength to the two fields. I would rather you decided the final shape though, for two reasons:

  • I used pattern rather than CEL because these fields sit inside unbounded arrays, and the equivalent matches() rule was refused again on cost ("exceeds budget by factor of 58"). Bounding the string lengths alone was not enough.
  • It checks shape rather than meaning. IPv4 and the prefix length are exact, but IPv6 is only checked for hex digits and colons, which is weaker than what you were going for. That is the part I would most expect you to want to improve.

For what it is worth, it behaves sensibly on a live cluster: 10.0.1.47, 2001:db8::1, 10.0.0.0/16, 2001:db8::/64 and a dual-stack pair are accepted; 300.1.2.3, not-an-ip, 10.0.1, 10.0.1.5/24, 10.0.0.0, 10.0.0.0/33 and nonsense/16 are rejected.

Very happy to pull it out of #84 and raise it separately against main, or to drop it entirely if you would prefer to fix it your own way. Just let me know which suits.

Correction to my earlier comment, which had the wrong cause. Apologies for the noise -- I have struck it through above.

isIP and isCIDR are available on our clusters. The problem is that they are declared with cel.Overload rather than cel.MemberOverload, so they are global functions taking a string, not methods on one. Written as self.isIP() the API server refuses the whole CRD:

found no matching overload for 'isIP' applied to 'string.()'

which is CEL saying that no receiver-style overload exists. isIP(self) and self.subnets.all(s, isCIDR(s)) are accepted. Verified on a 4.22.10 cluster with a CRD carrying nothing but the one rule:

self.isIP()     REJECTED        isIP(self)     ACCEPTED
self.isCIDR()   REJECTED        isCIDR(self)   ACCEPTED

There is a second thing sitting behind it. With the syntax corrected the rule is refused again, this time on cost: the estimate is the string length multiplied by the number of times the rule can be evaluated, and neither address nor the lists containing it were bounded. Adding MaxLength=45 to the address and MaxItems to the peer group and neighbour lists brings it inside the budget.

Both are on #84 as c9e23f5d, keeping your semantics rather than substituting a regex. That distinction matters: isIP() rejects :::1 and 010.1.2.3, which a reasonable regex would happily accept.

The MaxItems values are mine and were picked to fit the cost budget rather than derived from anything real, so please change them if they are wrong for the API. Equally happy to pull the whole thing out of #84 and raise it separately against main if you would rather own it.
