Description

Prepare the OLMv1 Helm chart for deploying object-controller as a separate component when ClusterObjectSet reconciliation moves out of operator-controller.

  • Add a Deployment with leader election, health probes, shared pod/container settings, and optional profiling and E2E coverage support.
  • Add the metrics Service, cert-manager Certificate, OpenShift serving-certificate integration and ServiceMonitor, NetworkPolicy, and optional PodDisruptionBudget.
  • Add object-controller values for the image, replica count, extra arguments, and disruption budget.

All new resources use the existing objectController.enabled activation guard. It prevents rendering these resources and rejects explicit enablement until the deployment and reconciliation cutover, so this PR leaves generated installations unchanged and avoids starting a second ClusterObjectSet reconciler.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Helm chart support for configuring the object controller’s deployment, service, network access, and availability safeguards.
    • Added optional certificate management and secure metrics monitoring for supported environments.
    • Added configurable image, replica count, and extra arguments. The object controller remains disabled by default.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Helm chart adds conditional values and templates for the OLM v1 object controller. The templates define its Deployment, certificate, metrics Service and monitor, NetworkPolicy, and PodDisruptionBudget.

Changes

Object Controller

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure and run the object controller
helm/olmv1/values.yaml, helm/olmv1/templates/deployment-olmv1-system-object-controller-controller-manager.yml, helm/olmv1/templates/cert-manager/certificate-olmv1-system-object-controller-cert.yml
Adds controller defaults and a conditional Deployment. The Deployment configures manager arguments and optional Tilt, profiling, TLS, OpenShift, and e2e behavior. The certificate uses the olmv1-ca ClusterIssuer and stores its key in object-controller-cert.
Expose and monitor metrics
helm/olmv1/templates/service-olmv1-system-object-controller-service.yml, helm/olmv1/templates/servicemonitor-olmv1-system-object-controller-metrics-monitor.yml
Adds a metrics Service on TCP port 8443. On OpenShift, adds a ServiceMonitor that scrapes /metrics over HTTPS every 30 seconds.
Set pod availability and network policy
helm/olmv1/templates/poddisruptionbudget-olmv1-system-object-controller.yml, helm/olmv1/templates/networkpolicy/networkpolicy-olmv1-system-object-controller-controller-manager.yml
Adds a conditional PodDisruptionBudget and NetworkPolicy. The policy permits ingress on TCP port 8443 and allows all egress.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to aa83a

Existing installations remain unchanged, but the OpenShift controller will fail to start when activation is permitted unless the verbosity argument is corrected. This is a bounded cutover risk.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to aa83a

The existing activation guard prevents the new resources from being deployed and rejects explicit enablement. This PR does not introduce an active controller, additional permissions, or exposed endpoints. Security-sensitive configuration should be reassessed when the reconciliation cutover enables deployment.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — No additional running identity, serving Secret, or reachable metrics endpoint is introduced through these gated templates. Defining the Deployment therefore does not presently extend service-account authority to a new process.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The dormant server configuration mounts object-controller-cert read-only for TLS. The OpenShift scrape configuration separately specifies a serving-CA trust file, client certificate and key, bearer-token file, and server name. The chart references these monitoring credentials but does not establish their external contents or availability.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Before removing the activation guard, select a single certificate producer for object-controller-cert and validate the corresponding scrape trust configuration. The current templates would request both OpenShift and cert-manager provisioning if both options were enabled after cutover; this is not a current deployed conflict.

Done. Added the Tilt guard around both liveness and readiness probes, matching operator-controller so debugging does not trigger probe failures. Helm lint, manifest generation, rendering checks with Tilt enabled and disabled, and make verify passed.

we always seem to pass the metrics bind address in operator-controller [ref] - should we do the same here as well? Otherwise, should we also guard the NetworkPolicy 8443 rule on certs being enabled?

The conditional metrics argument is intentional: cmd/object-controller/main.go rejects an explicit metrics-bind-address unless tls-cert and tls-key are also supplied, and disables the metrics server when neither certificate is provided. Passing :8443 unconditionally would therefore prevent startup without cert-manager or OpenShift serving certificates.

The NetworkPolicy rule permits connections to 8443 but does not create a listener; without certificates there is no metrics endpoint to access. Guarding that rule would make the policy more precise, but is not required to keep metrics disabled. I have retained the conditional argument and the existing policy for now.


AI-assisted response

Prepare the deployment, certificates, service, network policy, disruption
budget, metrics monitor, and values. The activation guard keeps generated
installations unchanged until the reconciliation cutover.

🌐 Web query:

k8s.io/klog/v2 v2.140.0 verbosity flag -v parses integer invalid value InitFlags

💡 Result:

For **k8s.io/klog/v2 v2.140.0**, `-v` is a custom flag value (`klog.Level`), and its `Set` method parses the input with `strconv.ParseInt(value, 10, 32)`. So a non-integer or out-of-range value returns a parse error; the standard Go flag parser reports that error when parsing the flag. ([github.com](https://github.com/kubernetes/klog/blob/v2.140.0/klog.go))

`InitFlags` itself does **not** parse a value: it registers klog’s flags on the supplied `flag.FlagSet` by passing each flag’s `Value` to `flagset.Var`. Therefore, if the error occurs during `InitFlags`, this source does not establish its cause; check whether the destination `FlagSet` already has a flag named `v` (registration may conflict), versus whether the error actually occurs later during `Parse`. ([github.com](https://github.com/kubernetes/klog/blob/v2.140.0/klog.go))

🌐 Web query:

site:kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/inject-data-application/define-command-argument-container command args expansion $(VAR_NAME) environment variable shell not invoked

💡 Result:

Kubernetes expands `$(VAR_NAME)` in `command` and `args` using the container’s environment; the syntax does **not** require a shell. The `command` field is explicitly “not executed within a shell.” ([kubernetes.io](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/inject-data-application/define-command-argument-container/?source=post_page---------------------------&utm_source=openai))

Use a shell explicitly (for example, `command: ["/bin/sh"]`, `args: ["-c", "..."]`) when you need shell features such as pipes or command chaining. ([kubernetes.io](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/inject-data-application/define-command-argument-container/?source=post_page---------------------------&utm_source=openai))

Use Kubernetes expansion syntax for OpenShift verbosity.

The current activation guard prevents this Deployment from rendering. The helper says reconciliation handover will replace the guard. When that cutover renders this Deployment, Kubernetes can pass ${LOG_VERBOSITY} literally to /object-controller: the container command does not invoke a shell, and Kubernetes expands $(VAR_NAME), not ${VAR_NAME}. klog parses --v as an integer, so the literal causes flag parsing to fail and the process exits nonzero.

Use $(LOG_VERBOSITY) and define that environment variable, or render a numeric value directly. The template’s built-in environment block does not define LOG_VERBOSITY.

Suggested fix
-            - --v=${LOG_VERBOSITY}
+            - --v=$(LOG_VERBOSITY)
