  • Enabled in: TechPreviewNoUpgrade, DevPreviewNoUpgrade

Changed files

  • features/features.go — feature gate definition
  • features.md — documentation table update
  • payload-manifests/featuregates/featureGate-*.yaml — generated manifest updates for all SelfManagedHA and Hypershift profiles

Companion PR: To be created

Add the CapacityBufferAvailable feature gate to control the enablement of the CapacityBuffer API and controller capabilities.
The feature gate is registered for the Cluster Autoscaler component and is enabled in TechPreviewNoUpgrade and DevPreviewNoUpgrade feature sets.

Hi @chinghsieh-google. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds and registers the CapacityBufferAvailable feature gate for Cluster Autoscaler. It documents the gate as enabled for DevPreviewNoUpgrade in HyperShift and SelfManagedHA. The 4.10 feature-gate manifests enable it for both DevPreviewNoUpgrade profiles and disable it for default, TechPreviewNoUpgrade, and OKD profiles.

Suggested reviewers: vr4manta

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 5fd90

The PR is not merge-ready: missing enhancement metadata can cause initialization to fail, while TechPreview manifests and documentation would leave CapacityBufferAvailable disabled despite its registration as enabled, resulting in inconsistent product behavior.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title accurately identifies the main change: adding the CapacityBuffer feature gate to the TechPreview configuration. It omits DevPreviewNoUpgrade and the full gate name, but it remains clear and directly related.

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 1 files. (9 skipped: 9 unsupported.)

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only the feature definition, documentation, and feature-gate manifests. The exact diff adds no test files and no Ginkgo title calls such as It(), Describe(), Context(), or When(). Therefore, it introduces no unstable test name.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

PASS — The pull request changes only one Go feature declaration, documentation, and eight YAML manifests. The parent-to-HEAD diff contains no test files, Ginkgo constructs, cluster operations, Eventually/Consistently calls, or test setup and cleanup code. The Ginkgo test-structure check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds no Ginkgo tests. The exact diff changes only features.md, features/features.go, and feature-gate YAML manifests. The MicroShift check therefore has no new test to assess, and the feature-gate configuration changes do not meet a test-compatibility failure condition.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only feature-gate registration, documentation, and generated feature-gate manifests. The parent-to-HEAD diff contains no new Ginkgo test constructs such as It(), Describe(), Context(), or When(). Therefore, the SNO test compatibility check is not applicable.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only the feature-gate declaration, documentation, and FeatureGate status manifests. The exact diff adds no deployments, controllers, workloads, affinity, topology spread, replica, node-selection, toleration, or PDB settings. Therefore, it introduces no topology-unaware scheduling constraint covered by this check.

Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only feature-gate metadata, registration, documentation, and YAML manifests. The added top-level initializer calls builder methods and mustRegister; these paths validate data, update an in-memory map, or panic, and do not write stdout. The changed Go file has no fmt.Print*, log.Print*, klog, os.Stdout, Ginkgo setup, or test entry-point writes. No process-level stdout violation is introduced.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds a feature-gate declaration, documentation, and generated manifests only. The exact patch adds no Ginkgo tests or test constructs, IPv4 assumptions, or external connectivity logic. Existing URLs in features/features.go are unchanged context.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only feature-gate metadata, one Go declaration, documentation, and manifest entries. The added lines contain no MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, Blowfish, ECB, custom cryptography, or secret/token comparison logic. The Go file imports only OpenShift configuration and set utilities.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only feature-gate registration, documentation, and FeatureGate status entries. The exact diff adds no privileged: true, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, allowPrivilegeEscalation: true, or root user settings. The changed YAML objects are FeatureGate objects and contain no container or pod security settings.

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

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds only feature-gate metadata, documentation, and manifest entries. The added lines contain no logging APIs or log messages, and the sensitive-data scan found no passwords, tokens, API keys, PII, session IDs, hostnames, or customer data. The changed Go file imports no logging package.

Add enhancement metadata before registering CapacityBufferAvailable.

mustRegister() panics when register() rejects the empty enhancementPRURL. CapacityBufferAvailable is not in legacyFeatureGates, so package initialization fails. Add a valid enhancement URL.

This feature gate needs an OpenShift Enhancement Proposal associated with it. All new features must have an associated enhancement proposal and that enhancement proposal must be merged for a new feature gate to enter the TechPreviewNoUpgrade feature set.
