Summary

Recover the service-CA-managed metrics-server serving certificate after MicroShift restart storms so the metrics API and namespace finalization can recover.

Changes

  • Clear service-CA retry-ceiling error annotations in a conflict-safe Service update after the controller is available.
  • Use bounded exponential backoff and read-only polling for the serving Secret.
  • Add fake-client unit coverage for Secret recovery, missing Services, and update conflicts.
  • Add an optional-metrics Robot regression that deterministically exercises the retry-ceiling and Secret-loss state, then verifies service-CA-owned TLS recovery.

Validation

  • Race-enabled Go tests for ./pkg/components
  • Focused golangci-lint
  • Robot formatting/check and dry-run (9/9 tests)
  • make verify-sh
  • make verify-config
  • make verify-crds
  • make verify-rf
  • make verify-vendor-etcd
  • make microshift
  • make verify-images
  • git diff --check upstream/main...HEAD

The final worktree is clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved metrics-server recovery when its serving certificate is missing or invalid.
    • Metrics-server now waits for required services and retries certificate restoration, including transient connection and API errors, before timing out.
    • Authorization and other non-retryable failures now return promptly.
    • Restored certificates allow the metrics API and metrics-server deployment to become available again after repeated restarts.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for certificate validation, recovery, retries, timeouts, and update conflicts.
    • Added end-to-end testing for recovery after repeated process restarts.

Requeue service-ca while the optional metrics-server serving Secret is missing or incomplete after a restart storm. Add focused unit and Robot regression coverage.
Wait for service-ca readiness, clear its retry-ceiling annotations in one conflict-safe Service update, and wait read-only for the serving Secret. Add deterministic recovery coverage without issuing serving certificates outside service-ca.

Walkthrough

Metrics-server certificate provisioning now detects invalid serving certificates, waits for service-ca readiness, triggers reconciliation, and polls for replacement TLS data. Unit tests and an optional restart-storm suite validate recovery and retry behavior.

Changes

Metrics-server certificate recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Certificate recovery flow
pkg/components/metrics.go
Adds TLS readiness checks, bounded retries for transient Kubernetes errors, Service annotation recovery, conflict handling, and provisioning integration.
Retry and error validation
pkg/components/metrics_test.go
Tests transient error classification, retry behavior, terminal errors, conflict retries, and reconciliation operations.
Restart-storm recovery validation
test/suites/optional/metrics.robot
Simulates service-ca retry exhaustion and repeated MicroShift restarts, then verifies Secret recreation, valid TLS data, and metrics API availability.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c9586

A transient Kubernetes API failure can stop certificate recovery during startup, leaving metrics availability at risk until a later restart. Resolve the retry gap before merging.
