Port the v1 karpenter control plane uprade test to v2. Test is marked informing.

Should be functionally equivalent with the exception of improved control plane upgrade detection.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added end-to-end coverage for Karpenter control-plane upgrades on AWS-hosted clusters.
    • Added a dedicated upgrade scenario with highly available control planes, public and private endpoint access, and automatic node management.
    • Validates node replacement, workload availability, Karpenter health, and upgraded node versions.
    • Confirms that upgraded nodes use current or newer operating system versions while maintaining healthy workloads during the upgrade.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds an AWS karpenter-upgrade test variant with AutoNode, public and private endpoint access, and highly available control-plane settings. Registers an end-to-end test that creates a Karpenter NodePool and workload, upgrades the HostedCluster release, waits for control-plane rollout and NodeClaim drift, and validates replacement node versions, NodeClaim readiness, pod rescheduling, and AutoNode status counts.

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

PASS: The new Ginkgo test hierarchy uses stable string literals: Describe("[sig-hypershift][Jira:Hypershift] Karpenter"), Context("[Feature:AutoNode] Karpenter Upgrade"), and It("should upgrade the control plane and drift Karpenter nodes to the new version"). None contains generated names, timestamps, IPs, namespaces, node names, or other run-dependent values. The only dynamic text is a By() progress message for the release image, not the test name.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

The new test has several assertions without meaningful failure messages. For example, Expect(err).NotTo(HaveOccurred()) appears in the setup and test body at lines 59, 70, and 72. Resource creation assertions at lines 93 and 104 also have no diagnostic message. The control-plane rollout assertions at lines 149, 151, 154, 157, 160, and 162-165 lack messages as well. The test does register DeferCleanup handlers for the NodePool and Deployment, and all direct and helper polling operations are bounded by timeouts. The single It block checks related parts of one upgrade workflow, so no separate single-responsibility failure was identified.

Resolution

Add meaningful diagnostic messages to every assertion in the new test. Include the HostedCluster or client operation in the setup messages, such as failed to get HostedCluster, failed to get HostedCluster client, failed to create NodePool, and failed to create Deployment. Add specific messages to each control-plane rollout assertion, including the expected image, history presence, and completed state. Keep the existing cleanup handlers and polling timeouts.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only e2e lifecycle configuration and test code. It does not add or modify an operator, controller, or production deployment manifest. The test uses the existing workload helper; its selector targets a Karpenter NodePool label, not control-plane or worker-role labels. The helper's required hostname anti-affinity has no explicit maxUnavailable: 0, and the PR adds no topology spread constraint, PDB, arbiter toleration, or node-count-derived replica setting. The new cluster variant explicitly requests HighlyAvailable control-plane availability.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

The new Ginkgo test calls testWorkload("web-app", ...). The v2 helper creates the workload with the hardcoded image quay.io/openshift/origin-pod:4.22.0. The new test therefore requires pulling an image from a public registry, with no mirror or internal-registry selection. The changed AWS lifecycle entry runs this test through the karpenter-upgrade label group. No new hardcoded IPv4 address or IPv4-only parsing was found.

Resolution

IPv6 and disconnected network compatibility notice: This test requires a public registry image and may fail in disconnected environments. Use an internal or mirrored workload image, or add [Skipped:Disconnected] to the test name if the requirement cannot be removed. Then verify the test in the additional IPv6 CI job /payload-job periodic-ci-openshift-release-master-nightly-4.22-e2e-metal-ipi-ovn-ipv6.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

The PR changes only test/e2e/v2/lifecycle/aws.go and a Karpenter upgrade test. The added code contains no MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, 3DES, Blowfish, or ECB usage; it imports regexp but performs only RHCOS version extraction. It adds no custom cryptography and performs no secret or token comparisons. The v1 counterpart also shows no weak-crypto logic.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds no privileged: true, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, allowPrivilegeEscalation: true, or root security setting. The new test creates a NodePool and a Deployment through existing helpers. The Deployment helper sets runAsUser: 1000 and allowPrivilegeEscalation: false. The AWS cluster arguments add AutoNode and availability settings only. No custom-check failure condition is introduced.

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

Explanation

The new test writes infrastructure identifiers to CI output. At test/e2e/v2/tests/karpenter_control_plane_upgrade_test.go:77, it logs both release image references. At line 118, it logs the AWS node name and full OS image. The image references are external inputs and can contain private registry hostnames. An AWS Kubernetes node name can contain an internal hostname. The By description at line 120 and failed Equal(latestImage) assertions can also emit the image value.

Resolution

Remove full image references and node names from Ginkgo output. Use a generic By("Updating cluster release image") message and log only a parsed release version or another non-sensitive identifier. Log only the RHCOS version, not nodes[0].Name or the full OS image. Ensure image comparisons use a boolean or sanitized failure message so Ginkgo does not print the raw expected and actual image references.

94-101: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Do not fail an ordered spec from cleanup.

Both DeferCleanup handlers use Expect when deletion fails. Log a warning and continue when cleanup fails. This preserves the failure signal from the spec that has the actual unmet precondition.

  • test/e2e/v2/tests/karpenter_control_plane_upgrade_test.go#L94-L101: log non-NotFound NodePool deletion failures and continue.
  • test/e2e/v2/tests/karpenter_control_plane_upgrade_test.go#L105-L109: log non-NotFound Deployment deletion failures and continue.

Based on learnings, v2 DeferCleanup handlers use logging and continuation rather than Expect or Fail.

Looks like the AWS job in prow needs updated to set the necessary env vars for upgrade testing, we'll need it for this and for the upcoming non-karpenter AWS upgrade jobs. I'll get the change merged and then we can re-run and should see it reflected in this PR

FromImage: registry.build01.ci.openshift.org/ci-op-c3jg74ds/release@sha256:6b24f9f85ad135cb17d6f11aa7558babb14b4b6953ddc72bd4a863fb7a75e295, toImage: registry.build01.ci.openshift.org/ci-op-c3jg74ds/release@sha256:6b24f9f85ad135cb17d6f11aa7558babb14b4b6953ddc72bd4a863fb7a75e295

Hence, there is no drift (since the Node won't upgrade to the same image) even though the test expects drift to happen.

We got around this in the v1 tests because we start from the previous image and make sure the release config actually passes in an n-1 cluster image version:

clusterOpts.ReleaseImage = globalOpts.PreviousReleaseImage
, and upgrade to the LatestReleaseImage, which is pretty much guaranteed to have different ignition payload and/or AMI. We can't guarantee this between nightlies in the same y-stream, or z-stream upgrades. I'm assuming we are not using an n-1 previous image here or something?

We are using

			previousImage := hc.Spec.Release.Image

but I don't know what version hostedcluster we initially install this cluster at and if that's still controlled from prow config.

I guess this new config is what's messing it up: https://github.com/openshift/release/blame/2f1fefd0110506098a1c72474f634b3194b2904b/ci-operator/config/openshift/hypershift/openshift-hypershift-main.yaml#L400-L401

We used to not override this at all, and I assume prow defaulted to OCP_IMAGE_PREVIOUS to an n-1 image?
https://github.com/openshift/release/blob/d29329a17401ab699df5a0c7b302d2f2c47dc6a3/ci-operator/config/openshift/hypershift/openshift-hypershift-main.yaml#L197-L201

EDIT: I think I'm wrong, I think this was always the case, but we've just been lucky that the images haven't been exactly the same. Either way, I think we should be testing n-1 upgrades, instead of z-stream upgrades. But I can take that task separately if that makes sense.

Port the v1 karpenter control plane uprade test to v2. Test is marked informing.

Should be functionally equivalent with the exception of improved control plane
upgrade detection.
