📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Configure CPU and memory requests and limits for the main Ansible execution environment container; resource settings are unset by default.
    • When ANSIBLE_FORKS isn’t explicitly configured, its default is calculated from CPU resources, rounding fractional CPU values up; without CPU settings, the default is 8. Memory settings don’t affect the calculation.
    • Set ANSIBLE_FORKS through NodeSet environment variables or a selected ConfigMap to override the calculated default. An Ansible command-line fork option takes precedence over the environment setting.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance on resource settings, fork calculation, configuration precedence, and when changes take effect.

Walkthrough

The NodeSet API accepts resource requirements for the main Ansible EE container. Job creation applies those requirements and selects ANSIBLE_FORKS from explicit environment settings, a selected ConfigMap, or CPU resources. Tests and documentation cover resource settings and fork selection.

Changes

Ansible EE resources and fork defaults

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resource API and CRD contracts
api/dataplane/v1beta1/common.go, api/dataplane/v1beta1/openstackdataplanenodeset_types.go, api/dataplane/v1beta1/zz_generated.deepcopy.go, api/bases/dataplane.openstack.org_openstackdataplanenodesets.yaml, config/crd/bases/dataplane.openstack.org_openstackdataplanenodesets.yaml, bindata/crds/crds.yaml, config/samples/dataplane_v1beta1_openstackdataplanenodeset.yaml, docs/assemblies/dataplane_resources.adoc, docs/assemblies/dataplane_performance_tuning_large_scale.adoc
The NodeSet API and schemas add optional ansibleEEResources for the main Ansible EE container. The sample and documentation describe resource configuration and CPU-based fork defaults, including setting precedence.
Job resource propagation and fork selection
internal/dataplane/util/ansibleee.go, internal/dataplane/util/ansible_execution.go, internal/dataplane/util/ansible_forks.go
Job construction applies the configured resource requirements to the main container. Fork selection preserves explicit environment or ConfigMap values. Otherwise, it derives a value from CPU settings, rounds fractional cores up, and uses 8 when CPU is unset.
Fork selection and Job validation
internal/dataplane/util/ansible_forks_test.go, test/functional/dataplane/openstackdataplanenodeset_controller_test.go, test/kuttl/tests/dataplane-service-config/*, test/kuttl/tests/dataplane-deploy-global-service-test/*, test/kuttl/tests/dataplane-deploy-multiple-secrets/*, test/kuttl/tests/dataplane-deploy-no-nodes-test/*, test/kuttl/tests/dataplane-deploy-tls-test/*, test/kuttl/tests/dataplane-extramounts/*, test/kuttl/tests/dataplane-service-custom-image/*, test/kuttl/tests/dataplane-service-failure/*
Unit, functional, and KUTTL tests cover CPU-derived defaults, explicit fork values, ConfigMap behavior, lookup errors, resource propagation, and generated Ansible configuration.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 53a2e

Only NodeSets configured with resource claims risk having Job creation rejected; ordinary requests, limits, and fork defaults are unaffected. This is a bounded issue for the unsupported claims option.

Grant the operator permission to read ConfigMaps.

When a Deployment selects an existing Ansible EE ConfigMap without an explicit ANSIBLE_FORKS environment variable, addDefaultAnsibleForks calls Get before creating the Job. The deployed operator-role has no configmaps permission, so this call returns Forbidden and AnsibleExecution exits before JobForOpenStackAnsibleEE.

Any reason we want this to be 8 from ansible default 5? This is kind of silent default change.

Raising the default was part of the initial Jira. But yes, it should be mentioned in the commit message and a release note if we do change it.
5 just seems pretty low. I think we could default to even higher than 8. WDYT?

Maybe we can simplify this? Do we need the max cap and sign error here? Also, <=0 means "no usable CPU" and if caller omits ANSIBLE_FORKS ansible's own default applies?

if ANSIBLE_FORKS is absent from the NodeSet Env and the ConfigMap for ansible settings, then fallbackAnsibleForks (currently set to 8) is used.

By simplifying, do you mean just ignore the errors and return fallbackAnsibleForks instead of 0 and an error? I think that would be ok, but it might be unexpected and hide bad user input.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject unsupported claims in AnsibleEEResources.

ResourceRequirements.Claims must reference an entry in the Pod's spec.resourceClaims. The Job builder copies the NodeSet value to the container but does not populate PodSpec.ResourceClaims. Kubernetes validation can therefore reject the Job with a missing resource-claim reference.

Reject non-empty claims at the NodeSet API boundary.
