Problem:

Certain Insights Advisor features differentiate between RHEL and OCP advisor

Goal:

Address top priority UI misalignments between RHEL and OCP advisor. Address UI features dropped from Insights ADvisor for OCP GA.

Scope:

Specific tasks and priority of them tracked in https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CCXDEV-7432

Managing PVs at scale for a fleet creates difficulties where "one size does not fit all". The ability for SRE to deploy prometheus with PVs and have retention based an on a desired size would enable easier management of these volumes across the fleet. 

The prometheus-operator exposes retentionSize.

This is a feature request to enable this configuration option via CMO cluster-monitoring-config ConfigMap.

The Problem

Today, all configuration for setting individual, for example, routing configuration is done via a single configuration file that only admins have access to. If an environment uses multiple tenants and each tenant, for example, has different systems that they are using to notify teams in case of an issue, then someone needs to file a request w/ an admin to add the required settings.

That can be bothersome for individual teams, since requests like that usually disappear in the backlog of an administrator. At the same time, administrators might get tons of requests that they have to look at and prioritize, which takes them away from more crucial work.

We would like to introduce a more self service approach whereas individual teams can create their own configuration for their needs w/o the administrators involvement.

Last but not least, since Monitoring is deployed as a Core service of OpenShift there are multiple restrictions that the SRE team has to apply to all OSD and ROSA clusters. One restriction is the ability for customers to use the central Alertmanager that is owned and managed by the SRE team. They can't give access to the central managed secret due to security concerns so that users can add their own routing information.

High-Level Approach

Provide a new API (based on the Operator CRD approach) as part of the Prometheus Operator that allows creating a subset of the Alertmanager configuration without touching the central Alertmanager configuration file.

Please note that we do not plan to support additional individual webhooks with this work. Customers will need to deploy their own version of the third party webhooks.

Goal & Success

• Allow users to deploy individual configurations that allow setting up Alertmanager for their needs without an administrator.

Solution Alignment

Key Capabilities

• As an OpenShift administrator, I want to control who can CRUD individual configuration so that I can make sure that any unknown third person can touch the central Alertmanager instance shipped within OpenShift Monitoring.
• As a team owner, I want to deploy a routing configuration to push notifications for alerts to my system of choice.

Key Flows

Team A wants to send all their important notifications to a specific Slack channel.

• Administrator gives permission to Team A to allow creating a new configuration CR in their individual namespace.
• Team A creates a new configuration CR.
• Team A configures what alerts should go into their Slack channel.
• Open Questions & Key Decisions (optional)
• Do we want to improve anything inside the developer console to allow configuration?

Which service is this feature request for?
OpenShift Dedicated and Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS

What are you trying to do?
Allow ROSA/OSD to integrate with AWS Managed Prometheus.

Describe the solution you'd like
Remote-write of metrics is supported in OpenShift but it does not work with AWS Managed Prometheus since AWS Managed Prometheus requires AWS SigV4 auth.

• Note that Prometheus supports AWS SigV4 since v2.26 and OpenShift 4.9 uses v2.29.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There is the workaround to use the "AWS SigV4 Proxy" but I'd think this is not properly supported by RH.
https://mobb.ninja/docs/rosa/cluster-metrics-to-aws-prometheus/

Additional context
The customer wants to use an open and portable solution to centralize metrics storage and analysis. If they also deploy to other clouds, they don't want to have to re-configure. Since most clouds offer a Prometheus service (or it's easy to self-manage Prometheus), app migration should be simplified.

OCP/Telco Definition of Done
Feature Template descriptions and documentation.

Feature Overview.

Early customer feedback is that they see SNO as a great solution covering smaller footprint deployment, but are wondering what is the evolution story OpenShift is going to provide where more capacity or high availability are needed in the future.

While migration tooling (moving workload/config to new cluster) could be a mid-term solution, customer desire is not to include extra hardware to be involved in this process.

 For Telecommunications Providers, at the Far Edge they intend to start small and then grow. Many of these operators will start with a SNO-based DU deployment as an initial investment, but as DUs evolve, different segments of the radio spectrum are added, various radio hardware is provisioned and features delivered to the Far Edge, the Telecommunication Providers desire the ability for their Far Edge deployments to scale up from 1 node to 2 nodes to n nodes. On the opposite side of the spectrum from SNO is MMIMO where there is a robust cluster and workloads use HPA.

Goals

• Provide the capability to expand a single replica control plane topology to host more workloads capacity - add worker
• Provide the capability to expand a single replica control plane to be a highly available control plane
• To satisfy MMIMO Telecommunications providers will want the ability to scale a SNO to a multi-node cluster that can support HPA.
• Telecommunications providers do not want workload (DU specifically) downtime when migrating from SNO to a multi-node cluster.
• Telecommunications providers wish to be able to scale from one to two or more nodes to support a variety of radio hardware.
• Support CP scaling (CP HA) for 2 node cluster, 3 node cluster and n node cluster. As the number of nodes in the cluster increases so does the failure domain of the cluster. The cluster is now supporting more cell sectors and therefore has more of a need for HA and resiliency including the cluster CP.

Feature Overview

• As an infrastructure owner, I want a repeatable method to quickly deploy the initial OpenShift cluster.

• As an infrastructure owner, I want to install the first (management, hub, “cluster 0”) cluster to manage other (standalone, hub, spoke, hub of hubs) clusters.

Goals

• Enable customers and partners to successfully deploy a single “first” cluster in disconnected, on-premises settings

Requirements

4.11 MVP Requirements

• Customers and partners needs to be able to download the installer
• Enable customers and partners to deploy a single “first” cluster (cluster 0) using single node, compact, or highly available topologies in disconnected, on-premises settings
• Installer must support advanced network settings such as static IP assignments, VLANs and NIC bonding for on-premises metal use cases, as well as DHCP and PXE provisioning environments.
• Installer needs to support automation, including integration with third-party deployment tools, as well as user-driven deployments.
• In the MVP automation has higher priority than interactive, user-driven deployments.
• For bare metal deployments, we cannot assume that users will provide us the credentials to manage hosts via their BMCs.
• Installer should prioritize support for platforms None, baremetal, and VMware.
• The installer will focus on a single version of OpenShift, and a different build artifact will be produced for each different version.
• The installer must not depend on a connected registry; however, the installer can optionally use a previously mirrored registry within the disconnected environment.

Use Cases

• As a Telco partner engineer (Site Engineer, Specialist, Field Engineer), I want to deploy an OpenShift cluster in production with limited or no additional hardware and don’t intend to deploy more OpenShift clusters [Isolated edge experience].
• As a Enterprise infrastructure owner, I want to manage the lifecycle of multiple clusters in 1 or more sites by first installing the first  (management, hub, “cluster 0”) cluster to manage other (standalone, hub, spoke, hub of hubs) clusters [Cluster before your cluster].
• As a Partner, I want to package OpenShift for large scale and/or distributed topology with my own software and/or hardware solution.
• As a large enterprise customer or Service Provider, I want to install a “HyperShift Tugboat” OpenShift cluster in order to offer a hosted OpenShift control plane at scale to my consumers (DevOps Engineers, tenants) that allows for fleet-level provisioning for low CAPEX and OPEX, much like AKS or GKE [Hypershift].
• As a new, novice to intermediate user (Enterprise Admin/Consumer, Telco Partner integrator, RH Solution Architect), I want to quickly deploy a small OpenShift cluster for Poc/Demo/Research purposes.

Questions to answer…

Out of Scope

Out of scope use cases (that are part of the Kubeframe/factory project):

• As a Partner (OEMs, ISVs), I want to install and pre-configure OpenShift with my hardware/software in my disconnected factory, while allowing further (minimal) reconfiguration of a subset of capabilities later at a different site by different set of users (end customer) [Embedded OpenShift].
• As an Infrastructure Admin at an Enterprise customer with multiple remote sites, I want to pre-provision OpenShift centrally prior to shipping and activating the clusters in remote sites.

Background, and strategic fit

• This Section: What does the person writing code, testing, documenting need to know? What context can be provided to frame this feature.

Assumptions

1. The user has only access to the target nodes that will form the cluster and will boot them with the image presented locally via a USB stick. This scenario is common in sites with restricted access such as government infra where only users with security clearance can interact with the installation, where software is allowed to enter in the premises (in a USB, DVD, SD card, etc.) but never allowed to come back out. Users can't enter supporting devices such as laptops or phones.
2. The user has access to the target nodes remotely to their BMCs (e.g. iDrac, iLo) and can map an image as virtual media from their computer. This scenario is common in data centers where the customer provides network access to the BMCs of the target nodes.
3. We cannot assume that we will have access to a computer to run an installer or installer helper software.

Feature Overview

The AWS-specific code added in OCPPLAN-6006 needs to become GA and with this we want to introduce a couple of Day2 improvements.
Currently the AWS tags are defined and applied at installation time only and saved in the infrastructure CRD's status field for further operator use, which in turn just add the tags during creation.

Saving in the status field means it's not included in Velero backups, which is a crucial feature for customers and Day2.
Thus the status.resourceTags field should be deprecated in favour of a newly created spec.resourceTags with the same content. The installer should only populate the spec, consumers of the infrastructure CRD must favour the spec over the status definition if both are supplied, otherwise the status should be honored and a warning shall be issued.

Being part of the spec, the behaviour should also tag existing resources that do not have the tags yet and once the tags in the infrastructure CRD are changed all the AWS resources should be updated accordingly.

On AWS this can be done without re-creating any resources (the behaviour is basically an upsert by tag key) and is possible without service interruption as it is a metadata operation.

Tag deletes continue to be out of scope, as the customer can still have custom tags applied to the resources that we do not want to delete.

Due to the ongoing intree/out of tree split on the cloud and CSI providers, this should not apply to clusters with intree providers (!= "external").

Once confident we have all components updated, we should introduce an end2end test that makes sure we never create resources that are untagged.

After that, we can remove the experimental flag and make this a GA feature.

Goals

• Inclusion in the cluster backups
• Flexibility of changing tags during cluster lifetime, without recreating the whole cluster

tldr: three basic claims, the rest is explanation and one example

1. We cannot improve long term maintainability solely by fixing bugs.
2. Teams should be asked to produce designs for improving maintainability/debugability.
3. Specific maintenance items (or investigation of maintenance items), should be placed into planning as peer to PM requests and explicitly prioritized against them.

While bugs are an important metric, fixing bugs is different than investing in maintainability and debugability. Investing in fixing bugs will help alleviate immediate problems, but doesn't improve the ability to address future problems. You (may) get a code base with fewer bugs, but when you add a new feature, it will still be hard to debug problems and interactions. This pushes a code base towards stagnation where it gets harder and harder to add features.

One alternative is to ask teams to produce ideas for how they would improve future maintainability and debugability instead of focusing on immediate bugs. This would produce designs that make problem determination, bug resolution, and future feature additions faster over time.

I have a concrete example of one such outcome of focusing on bugs vs quality. We have resolved many bugs about communication failures with ingress by finding problems with point-to-point network communication. We have fixed the individual bugs, but have not improved the code for future debugging. In so doing, we chase many hard to diagnose problem across the stack. The alternative is to create a point-to-point network connectivity capability. this would immediately improve bug resolution and stability (detection) for kuryr, ovs, legacy sdn, network-edge, kube-apiserver, openshift-apiserver, authentication, and console. Bug fixing does not produce the same impact.

We need more investment in our future selves. Saying, "teams should reserve this" doesn't seem to be universally effective. Perhaps an approach that directly asks for designs and impacts and then follows up by placing the items directly in planning and prioritizing against PM feature requests would give teams the confidence to invest in these areas and give broad exposure to systemic problems.

   • Control plane upgrade
   • Worker nodes upgrade
   • Workload enabling upgrade (i..e. Router, other components) or infra nodes
2. Better visibility into any errors during the upgrades and documentation of what they error means and how to recover. 
3. An user experience around an end-2-end back-up and restore after a failed upgrade 
4. OTA-810  - Better Documentation: 
   • Backup procedures before upgrades. 
   • More control over worker upgrades (with tagged pools between user Vs admin)
   • The kinds of pre-upgrade tests that are run, the errors that are flagged and what they mean and how to address them. 
   • Better explanation of each discrete step in upgrades, and what each CVO Operator is doing and potential errors, troubleshooting and mitigating actions.

Background, and strategic fit

Consumption of RHEL entitlements has been a challenge on OCP 4 since it moved to a cluster-based entitlement model compared to the node-based (RHEL subscription manager) entitlement mode. In order to provide a sufficiently similar experience to OCP 3, the entitlement certificates that are made available on the cluster (OCPBU-93) should be shared across namespaces in order to prevent the need for cluster admin to copy these entitlements in each namespace which leads to additional operational challenges for updating and refreshing them.

Epic Goal

HyperShift provisions OpenShift clusters with externally managed control-planes. It follows a slightly different process for provisioning clusters. For example, HyperShift uses cluster API as a backend and moves all the machine management bits to the management cluster.  

Why is this important?

showing machine management/cluster auto-scaling tabs in the console is likely to confuse users and cause unnecessary side effects. 

Definition of Done

• MachineConfig and MachineConfigPool should not be present, they should be either removed or hidden when the cluster is spawned using HyperShift. 
• Cluster Settings show say the control plane is externally managed and be read-only.
• Cluster Settings -> Configuration resources should be read-only, maybe hide the tab
• Some resources should go in an allowlist. Most will be hidden
• Review getting started steps

See Design Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k76JtRRHBdCCEjHPqKcYvbNVsuaGmRhWDLESWIm0mbo/edit#

Setup / Testing

It's based on the SERVER_FLAG controlPlaneTopology being set to External is really the driving factor here; this can be done in one of two ways:

• Locally via a Bridge Variable, export BRIDGE_CONTROL_PLANE_TOPOLOGY_MODE="External"
• Locally / OnCluster via modifying the window.SERVER_FLAGS.controlPlaneTopology to External in the dev tools

To test work related to cluster upgrade process, use a 4.10.3 cluster set on the candidate-4.10 upgrade channel using 4.11 frontend code.

Epic Goal

• Ensure that OCP Admin console can enable dark mode
• Mechanism for switching between light/dark mode, based on user preferences or User Settings in OCP
• Identify changes needed for OCP console's dynamic plugins
• Status as we work through the stories: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18ib0A9ZtSYo1e2aOtM2LtZcsNFs1aRCHXx6NAPsIAso/edit#

Why is this important?

• So the UX satisfies the current trands, where dark mode is becoming a standard for modern services.

Open questions::

1. Who should be responsible for updating DynamicPlugins to be able to render in dark mode?

An epic we can duplicate for each release to ensure we have a place to catch things we ought to be doing regularly but can tend to fall by the wayside.

This epic contains all the Dynamic Plugins related stories for OCP release-4.11 

Epic Goal

• Track all the stories under a single epic

Acceptance Criteria

Goal

• Add the ability for users to select supported but not recommended updates.
• Refine workflow when both "upgradeable=false" and "supported-but-not-recommended" updates occur

Background
RFE: for 4.10, Cincinnati and the cluster-version operator are adding conditional updates (a.k.a. targeted edge blocking): https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OTA-267

High-level plans in https://github.com/openshift/enhancements/blob/master/enhancements/update/targeted-update-edge-blocking.md#update-client-support-for-the-enhanced-schema

Example of what the oc adm upgrade UX will be in https://github.com/openshift/enhancements/blob/master/enhancements/update/targeted-update-edge-blocking.md#cluster-administrator.

The oc implementation landed via https://github.com/openshift/oc/pull/961.

Design

• Use case 01: "supported but not recommended" occurs to the latest version:
  • Add an info icon next to the version on update path with a pop-over to explain about why updating to this version is supported, but not recommended and a link to known risks
  • Identify the difference in "recommended" versions, "supported but not recommended" versions, and "blocked" versions (upgradeable=false) in the + more modal.
  • The latest version is pre-selected in the dropdown in the update modal with an inline alert to inform users about supported-but-not-recommended version with link to known risks. Users can choose to update to another recommended versions, update to a supported-but-not-recommended one, or wait.
  • The "recommended" and "supported but not recommended" updates are separated in the dropdown.
  • If a user selects a "recommended" update, the inline alert disappears.
• Use case 02: When both "upgradeable=false" and "supported but not recommended" occur:
  • Add an alert banner to explain why users shouldn’t update to the latest version and link to how to resolve on the cluster settings details page. Users have the options to resolve the issue, update to a patch version, or wait.
  • If users open the update modal without resolving the "upgradeable=false" issue, the next recommended version is pre-selected. An expandable link "View blocked versions (#)" is included under the dropdown to show "upgradeable=false" versions with resolve link.
  • If users resolve the "upgradeable=false" issue, the cluster settings page will change to use case 01

• • Question: Priority on changing the upgradeable=false alert banner in update modal and blocked versions in dropdown

Why is this important?

• The registry should be highly available and zone failsafe.

Scenarios

Goal

Remove Jenkins from the OCP Payload.

Problem

• Jenkins images are "non-trival in size, impact experience around OCP payloads
• Security advisories cannot be handled once, but against all actively supported OCP releases, adding to response time for handling said advisories
• Some customers may now want to upgrade Jenkins as OCP upgrades (making this configurable is more ideal)

Why is this important

• This is an engineering motivated item to reduce costs so we have more cycles for strategic work
• Aside from the team itself, top level OCP architects want this to reduce the image size, improve general OCP upgrade experience
• Sends a mix message with respect to what is startegic CI/CI when Jenkins is baked into OCP, but Tekton/Pipelines is an add-on, day 2 install sort of thing

Dependencies (internal and external)

See epic linking - need alternative non payload image available to provide relatively seamless migration

Also, the EP for this is approved and merged at https://github.com/openshift/enhancements/blob/master/enhancements/builds/remove-jenkins-payload.md

Estimate (xs, s, m, l, xl, xxl):

Questions:

• in addition to needing the CPaaS Image available first, have we confirmed the "deprecate first, then remove" requirements?  Per grooming we've assigned Rob Gormley the task https://issues.redhat.com/browse/JKNS-274 for tracking this down.  I will be reaching out to Ben Parees (he is currently on vacation) to confirm from an OCP staff engineer / architect perspective if his approval of https://github.com/openshift/enhancements/pull/841 is sufficient signoff from that end.

       PARTIAL ANSWER ^^:  confirmed with Ben Parees in https://coreos.slack.com/archives/C014MHHKUSF/p1646683621293839 that EP merging is currently sufficient OCP "technical leadership" approval.

Epic Goal

When users configure CMO to interact with systems outside of an OpenShift cluster, we want to provide an easy way to add the cluster ID to the data send.

Why is this important?

Technically this can be achieved today, by adding an identifying label to the remote_write configuration for a given cluster. The operator adding the remote_write integration needs to take care that the label is unique over the managed fleet of clusters. This however adds management complexity. Any given cluster already has a pseudo-unique datum, that can be used for this purpose.

• Starting in 4.9 we support the Prometheus remote_write feature to send metric data to a storage integration outside of the cluster similar to our own Telemetry service.
• In Telemetry we already use the cluster ID to distinguish the various clusters.
• For users of remote_write this could add an easy way to add such distinguishing information.

Scenarios

1. An organisation with multiple OpenShift clusters want to store their metric data centralized in a dedicated system and use remote_write in all their clusters to send this data. When querying their centralized storage, metadata (here a label) is needed to separate the data of the various clusters.
2. Service providers who manage multiple clusters for multiple customers via a centralized storage system need distinguishing metadata too. See https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OSD-6573 for example

Acceptance Criteria

• CI - MUST be running successfully with tests automated
• Release Technical Enablement - Provide necessary release enablement details and documents.
• Document how to use this feature

• QE - Automated tests merged: <link or reference to automated tests>
• DOC - Downstream documentation merged: <link to meaningful PR>

Implementation proposal:

Expose a flag in the CMO configuration, that is false by default (keeps backward compatibility) and when set to true will add the _id label to a remote_write configuration. More specifically it will be added to the top of a remote_write relabel_config list via the replace action. This will add the label as expect, but additionally a user could alter this label in a later relabel config to suit any specific requirements (say rename the label or add additional information to the value).
The location of this flag is the remote_write Spec, so this can be set for individual remote_write configurations.

Epic Goal

• Offer the option to double the scrape intervals for CMO controlled ServiceMonitors in single node deployments
• Alternatively automatically double the same scrape intervals if CMO detects an SNO setup

The potential target ServiceMonitors are:

• kubelet
• kube-state-metrics
• node-exporter
• etcd
• openshift-state-metrics

Why is this important?

• Reduce CPU usage in SNO setups
• Specifically doubling the scrape interval is important because:

1. we are confident that this will have the least chance to interfere with existing rules. We typically have rate queries over the last 2 minutes (no shorter time window). With 30 second scrape intervals (the current default) this gives us 4 samples in any 2 minute window. rate needs at least 2 samples to work, we want another 2 for failure tolerance. Doubling the scrape interval will still give us 2 samples in most 2 minute windows. If a scrape fails, a few rule evaluations might fail intermittently.
2. We expect a measureable reduction of CPU resources (see previous work)

Scenarios

1. RAN deployments (Telco Edge) are SNO deployments. In these setups a full CMO deployment is often not needed and the default setup consumes too many resources. OpenShift as a whole has only very limited CPU cycles available and too many cycles are spend on Monitoring

Previous Work (Optional):

Open questions:

1. Whether doubling some scrape intervals reduces CPU usage to fit into the assigned budget

Non goals

• Allow arbitrarily long scrape intervals. This will interfere with alert and recoring rules
• Implement a global override to scrape intervals.

Problem:

Currently we are only able to get limited telemetry from the Dev Sandbox, but not from any of our managed clusters or on prem clusters.

Goals:

1. Enable gathering segment telemetry whenever cluster telemetry is enabled on OSD clusters
2. Have our OSD clusters opt into telemetry by default
3. Work with PM & UX to identify additional metrics to capture in addition to what we have enabled currently on Sandbox.
4. Ability to get a single report from woopra across all of our Sandbox and OSD clusters.
5. Be able to generate a report including metrics of a single cluster or all clusters of a certain type ( sandbox, or OSD)

Why is it important?

In order to improve properly analyze usage and the user experience, we need to be able to gather as much data as possible.

Goal:
Enhance oc adm release new (and related verbs info, extract, mirror) with heterogeneous architecture support

Epic Goal

• Update image registry dependencies (Kubernetes and OpenShift) to the latest versions.

Why is this important?

• New versions usually bring improvements that are needed by the registry and help with getting updates for z-stream.

Scenarios

1. As an OpenShift engineer, I want my components to use the versions of dependencies, so that they get fixes for known issues and can be easily updated in z-stream.

Epic Goal

• Provide a dedicated dashboard for NVIDIA GPU usage visualization in the OpenShift Console.

Why is this important?

• Customers that use GPUs in their clusters usually have the GPU workloads as the main purpose of their cluster. As such, it makes much more sense to have the details about the usage they are doing of GPGPU resources AND CPU/RAM rather than just CPU/RAM

Scenarios

1. As an admin of a cluster dedicated to data science, I want to quickly find out how much of my very costly resources are currently in use and if things are getting queued due to lack of resources

Acceptance Criteria

• CI - MUST be running successfully with tests automated
• Release Technical Enablement - Provide necessary release enablement details and documents.

Epic Goal

• Run OpenShift builds that do not execute as the "root" user on the host node.

Why is this important?

• OpenShift builds require an elevated set of capabilities to build a container image
• Builds currently run as root to maintain adequate performance
• Container workloads should run as non-root from the host's perspective. Containers running as root are a known security risk.
• Builds currently run as root and require a privileged container. See BUILD-225 for removing the privileged container requirement.

Scenarios

1. Run BuildConfigs in a multi-tenant environment
2. Run BuildConfigs in a heightened security environment/deployment

Acceptance Criteria

• Developers can opt into running builds in a cri-o user namespace by providing an environment variable with a specific value.
• When the correct environment variable is provided, builds run in a cri-o user namespace, and the build pod does not require the "privileged: true" security context.
• User namespace builds can pass basic test scenarios for the Docker and Source strategy build.
• Steps to run unprivileged builds are documented.

Dependencies (internal and external)

1. Buildah supports running inside a non-privileged container
2. CRI-O allows workloads to opt into running containers in user namespaces.

Previous Work (Optional):

1. BUILD-225 - remove privileged requirement for builds.

Description of problem:

According to OCP 4.11 doc (https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.11/installing/installing_gcp/installing-gcp-account.html#installation-gcp-enabling-api-services_installing-gcp-account), the Service Usage API (serviceusage.googleapis.com) is an optional API service to be enabled. But, the installation cannot succeed if this API is disabled.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-09-25-071630

How reproducible:

Always, if the Service Usage API is disabled in the GCP project.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Make sure the Service Usage API (serviceusage.googleapis.com) is disabled in the GCP project.
2. Try IPI installation in the GCP project. 

Actual results:

The installation would fail finally, without any worker machines launched.

Expected results:

Installation should succeed, or the OCP doc should be updated.

Additional info:

Please see the attached must-gather logs (http://virt-openshift-05.lab.eng.nay.redhat.com/jiwei/jiwei-0926-03-cnxn5/) and the sanity check results. 
FYI if enabling the API, and without changing anything else, the installation could succeed.

• Standard_D8s_v5
• Standard_E8s_v5

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Migrate worker/infra nodes to above mentioned (missing) v5 instance types
2. "Failed to set autoscaling from zero annotations, instance type unknown"

Actual results:

• "Failed to set autoscaling from zero annotations, instance type unknown"
• New v5 instance types not officially tested/supported

Expected results:
The new instance types are available in the azure_instance_types list[1] and no errors/warnings are observed after migrating:

• Standard_D8s_v5
• Standard_E8s_v5
• Standard_E16s_v5

Additional info:

The related v4 instance types are already available[1] - I suspect adding the mentioned v5 instance types is a minor update:

This bug was initially created as a copy of
Bug #2096605
I am copying this bug because: the parent bug solved the validation aspect of diskType but now the description of diskType in
https://github.com/openshift/installer/blob/master/data/data/install.openshift.io_installconfigs.yaml#L2914-L2923
needs to be updated.

Version: 4.11.0-0.nightly-2022-06-06-201913

Platform: vSphere IPI

What happened?
1. If user inputs an invalid value for platform.vsphere.diskType in install-config.yaml file, there is no validation checking for diskType and doesn't exit with error, but continues the installation, which is not the same behavior as in 4.10.

After all vms are provisioned, I checked that the disk provision type is thick.

2. If user doesn't set platform.vsphere.diskType in install-config.yaml file, the default disk provision type is thick, but not the vSphere default storage policy. On VMC, the default policy is thin, so maybe the description of diskType should also need to be updated.

$ ./openshift-install explain installconfig.platform.vsphere.diskType
KIND: InstallConfig
VERSION: v1

RESOURCE: <string>
Valid Values: "","thin","thick","eagerZeroedThick"
DiskType is the name of the disk provisioning type, valid values are thin, thick, and eagerZeroedThick. When not specified, it will be set according to the default storage policy of vsphere.

What did you expect to happen?
validation for diskType

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?
set diskType to invalid value in install-config.yaml and install the cluster

The test results in sippy look really bad on our less common platforms, but still pretty unacceptable even on core clouds. It's reasonably often the only test that fails. We need to decide what to do here, and we're going to need input from the etcd team.

As of Sep 13th:

• several vsphere and openstack variant combo's fail this test around 24-32% of the time
• aws, amd64, ovn, upgrade, upgrade-micro, ha - fails 6% of the time
• aws, amd64, ovn, upgrade, upgrade-minor, ha - fails 4% of the time
• gcp, amd64, sdn, upgrade, upgrade-minor, ha - fails 8% of the time
• globally across all jobs fails around 3% of the time.

Even on some major variant combos, a 4-8% failure rate is too high.
On Sep 13 arch call (no etcd present), Damien mentioned this might be an upstream alert that just isn't well suited for OpenShift's use cases, is this the case and it needs tuning?

Has the problem been getting worse?

I believe this link https://datastudio.google.com/s/urkKwmmzvgo indicates that this may be the case for 4.12, AWS and Azure are both getting worse in ways that I don't see if we change the release to 4.11 where it looks consistent. gcp seems fine on 4.12. We do not have data for vsphere for some reason.

Description of problem:

4.9 and 4.10 oc calls to oc adm upgrade channel ... for 4.11+ clusters would clear spec.capabilities. Not all that many clusters try to restrict capabilities, but folks will need to bump their channel for at least every other minor (if their using EUS channels), and while we recommend folks use an oc from the 4.y they're heading towards, we don't have anything in place to enforce that.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

4.9 and 4.10 oc are exposed vs. the new-in-4.11 spec.capabilities. Newer oc could theoretically be exposed vs. any new ClusterVersion spec capabilities.

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install a 4.11+ cluster with None capabilities.
2. Set the channel with a 4.10.51 oc, like oc adm upgrade channel fast-4.11.
3. Check the capabilities with oc get -o json clusterversion version | jq -c .spec.capabilities.

Actual results:

null

Expected results:

{"baselineCapabilitySet":"None"}

 Apparently this is a known issue (See Github link) and was fixed in a later upstream.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

4.11.0

How reproducible:

Every-time 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Provision a bare metal node using an AMD EPYC CPU
2. Node-exporter pods that try to start on the nodes will crash with error message

Actual results:

Node-exporter pods cannot run on the new nodes 

Expected results:

Node exporter pods should be able to start up and run like on any other node

Additional info:

As mentioned above this issue was tracked and fixed in a later upstream of node-exporter

https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/issues/2299

Would we be able to get the fixed version pulled for 4.11?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

4.13.0-ec.3. The behavior was apparently introduced as part of OCPBUGS-6018, which has been backported, so the following update targets are expected to be vulnerable: 4.10.52+, 4.11.26+, 4.12.2+, and 4.13.0-ec.3.

How reproducible:

100%, when updating into a vulnerable release, if you happen to have leaked MachineConfig.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. 4.12.0-ec.1 dropped cleanUpDuplicatedMC. Run a later release, like 4.13.0-ec.2.
2. Create more than one KubeletConfig or ContainerRuntimeConfig targeting the worker pool (or any pool other than master). The number of clusters who have had redundant configuration objects like this is expected to be small.
3. (Optionally?) delete the extra KubeletConfig and ContainerRuntimeConfig.
4. Update to 4.13.0-ec.3.

Actual results:

Update sticks on the machine-config ClusterOperator, as described above.

Expected results:

Update completes without issues.

Description of problem:
Users on a fully-disconnected cluster could not see Devfiles in the developer catalog or import a Devfiles. That's fine.

But the API calls /api/devfile/samples/ and /api/devfile/ takes 30 seconds until they fail with a 504 Gateway timeout error.

If possible they should fail immediately.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
This might happen since 4.8

Tested this yet only on 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-09-07-112008

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start a disconnected cluster with a proxy
2. Open the browser network inspector and filter for /api/devfile
3. Switch to Developer perspective
   1. Navigate to Add > Developer Catalog (All Services) > Devfiles
   2. Or Add > Import from Git > and enter https://github.com/devfile-samples/devfile-sample-go-basic.git

Actual results:

• Network call fails after 30 seconds
• Import doesn't work

Expected results:

• Network calls should fail immediately
• We doesn't expect that the import will work

Additional info:
The console Pod log contains this error:

E0909 10:28:18.448680 1 devfile-handler.go:74] Failed to parse devfile: failed to populateAndParseDevfile: Get "https://registry.devfile.io/devfiles/go": context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

How reproducible: always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set audit profile to WriteRequestBodies
2. Wait for api server rollout to complete
3. tail -f /var/log/kube-apiserver/audit.log | grep routes/status

Actual results:

Write events to routes/status are recorded at the RequestResponse level, which often includes keys and certificates.

Expected results:

Events involving routes should always be recorded at the Metadata level, per the documentation at https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.10/security/audit-log-policy-config.html#about-audit-log-profiles_audit-log-policy-config

Description of problem:
Switching the spec.endpointPublishingStrategy.loadBalancer.scope of the default ingresscontroller results in a degraded ingress operator. The routes using that endpoint like the console URL become inaccessible.
Degraded operators after scope change:

We have noticed that each time this happens the underlying AWS loadbalancer gets recreated which is as expected however the router pods probably do not get notified about the new loadbalancer. The instances in the new loadbalancer become 'outOfService'.

Restarting one of the router pods fixes the issue and brings back a couple of instances under the loadbalancer back to 'InService' which leads to the operators becoming happy again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ingress in 4.11.z however we suspect this issue to also apply to older versions

How reproducible:

Consistently reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a test OCP 4.11 cluster in AWS
2. Switch the spec.endpointPublishingStrategy.loadBalancer.scope of the default ingresscontroller in openshift-ingress-operator to Internal from External (or vice versa)
3. New Loadbalancer is created in AWS for the default router service, however the instances behind are not in service

Actual results:

ingress, authentication and console operators go into a degraded state. Console URL of the cluster is inaccessible

Expected results:

The ingresscontroller scope transition from internal->External (or vice versa) is smooth without any downtime or operators going into degraded state. The console is accessible.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Assign external IPs to master/infra node in GCP
2. oc get csr | grep kubernetes.io/kubelet-serving

Actual results:

CSRs are not approved

Expected results:

CSRs are approved

Additional info:

This issue is only happen in GCP. Same OpenShift installations in AWS do not have this issue.

It looks like the CSR are created using external IP addresses once assigned.

Description of problem:

When queried dns hostname from certain pod on the certain node, responded from random coredns pod, not prefer local one. Is it expected result ?

# In OCP v4.8.13 case
// Ran dig command on the certain node which is running the following test-7cc4488d48-tqc4m pod.
sh-4.4# while : ; do echo -n "$(date '+%H:%M:%S') :"; dig google.com +short; sleep 1; done

// The dig results is matched with the running node one as you can see the above one.
$ oc rsh  test-7cc4488d48-tqc4m bash -c 'while : ; do echo -n "$(date '+%H:%M:%S') :"; dig google.com +short; sleep 1; done'

07:16:37 :142.250.207.46
07:16:38 :142.250.207.46


But in v4.10 case, in contrast, the dns query result is various and responded randomly regardless local dns results on the node as follows.

# In OCP v4.10.23 case, pod's response from DNS services are not consistent.
$ oc rsh test-848fcf8ddb-zrcbx  bash -c 'while : ; do echo -n "$(date '+%H:%M:%S') :"; dig google.com +short; sleep 1; done'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

v4.10.23 (ROSA)
SDN: OpenShiftSDN

How reproducible:

You can always reproduce this issue using "dig google.com" from both any pod and the node the pod running according to the above "Description" details.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run any usual pod, and check which node the pod is running on.
2. Run dig google.com on the pod and the node.
3. Check the IP is consistent with the running node each other. 

Actual results:

The response IPs are not consistent and random IP is responded.

Expected results:

The response IP is kind of consistent, and aware of prefer local dns.

Additional info:

This issue affects EgressNetworkPolicy dnsName feature.

Tracker issue for bootimage bump in 4.11. This issue should block issues which need a bootimage bump to fix.

The previous bump was OCPBUGS-562.

• https://github.com/openshift/installer/pull/6720

• https://github.com/openshift/console/pull/12056

We're seeing a slight uptick in how long upgrades are taking[1][2]. We are not 100% sure of the cause, but it looks like it started with 4.11 rc.7. There's no obvious culprits in the diff[3].

Looking at some of the jobs, we are seeing the gaps between kube-scheduler being updated and then machine-api appear to take longer. Example job run[4] showing 10+ minutes waiting for it.

TRT had a debugging session, and we have two suggestions:

• Adding logging around when CVO sees an operator version changed

• Instead of a fixed polling interval at 5 minutes (which is what we think CVO is doing), would it be possible to trigger on the CO to know when to look again? We think there could be some substantial savings on upgrade time by doing this.

Description of problem:

If you set a services cluster IP to an IP with a leading zero (e.g. 192.168.0.011), ovn-k should normalise this and remove the leading zero before sending it to ovn.

This was seen by me on a CI run executing the k8 test here: test/e2e/network/funny_ips.go +75

you can reproduce using that above test.

Have a read of the text there:

 43 // What are funny IPs:  
 44 // The adjective is because of the curl blog that explains the history and the problem of liberal  
 45 // parsing of IP addresses and the consequences and security risks caused the lack of normalization,
 46 // mainly due to the use of different notations to abuse parsers misalignment to bypass filters.
 47 // xref: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/04/19/curl-those-funny-ipv4-addresses/   
 48 //     
 49 // Since golang 1.17, IPv4 addresses with leading zeros are rejected by the standard library.
 50 // xref: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/30999
 51 //     
 52 // Because this change on the parsers can cause that previous valid data become invalid, Kubernetes
 53 // forked the old parsers allowing leading zeros on IPv4 address to not break the compatibility.
 54 //     
 55 // Kubernetes interprets leading zeros on IPv4 addresses as decimal, users must not rely on parser
 56 // alignment to not being impacted by the associated security advisory: CVE-2021-29923 golang

Description of problem:

The metal3-ironic container image in OKD fails during steps in configure-ironic.sh that look for additional Oslo configuration entries as environment variables to configure the Ironic instance. The mechanism by which it fails in OKD but not OpenShift is that the image for OpenShift happens to have unrelated variables set which match the regex, because it is based on the builder image, but the OKD image is based only on a stream8 image without these unrelated OS_ prefixed variables set.

The metal3 pod created in response to even a provisioningNetwork: Disabled Provisioning object will therefore crashloop indefinitely.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

4.11

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Deploy OKD to a bare metal cluster using the assisted-service, with the OKD ConfigMap applied to podman play kube, as in :https://github.com/openshift/assisted-service/tree/master/deploy/podman#okd-configuration
2. Observe the state of the metal3 pod in the openshift-machine-api namespace.

Actual results:

The metal3-ironic container repeatedly exits with nonzero, with the logs ending here:

++ export IRONIC_URL_HOST=10.1.1.21
++ IRONIC_URL_HOST=10.1.1.21
++ export IRONIC_BASE_URL=https://10.1.1.21:6385

++ '[' '!' -z '' ']'
++ '[' -f /etc/ironic/ironic.conf ']'
++ cp /etc/ironic/ironic.conf /etc/ironic/ironic.conf_orig
++ tee /etc/ironic/ironic.extra
# Options set from Environment variables
++ echo '# Options set from Environment variables'
++ env
++ grep '^OS_'
++ tee -a /etc/ironic/ironic.extra

Expected results:

The metal3-ironic container starts and the metal3 pod is reported as ready.

Additional info:

This is the PR that introduced pipefail to the downstream ironic-image, which is not yet accepted in the upstream:
https://github.com/openshift/ironic-image/pull/267/files#diff-ab2b20df06f98d48f232d90f0b7aa464704257224862780635ec45b0ce8a26d4R3

This is the line that's failing:
https://github.com/openshift/ironic-image/blob/4838a077d849070563b70761957178055d5d4517/scripts/configure-ironic.sh#L57

This is the image base that OpenShift uses for ironic-image (before rewriting in ci-operator):

Here is where the relevant environment variables are set in the builder images for OCP:
https://github.com/openshift/builder/blob/973602e0e576d7eccef4fc5810ba511405cd3064/hack/lib/build/version.sh#L87

Here is the final FROM line in the OKD image build (just stream8):

This results in the following differences between the two images:

Here is what the OS_ prefixed variables should be used for:
https://github.com/metal3-io/ironic-image/blob/807a120b4ce5e1675a79ebf3ee0bb817cfb1f010/README.md?plain=1#L36

It's worth noting that ironic.extra is not consumed anywhere, and is simply being used here to save off the variables that Oslo _might_ be consuming (it won't consume the variables that are present in the OCP builder image, though they do get caught by this regex).

With pipefail set, grep returns non-zero when it fails to find an environment variable that matches the regex, as in the case of the OKD ironic-image builds.

ENV: OpenStack IAD2, IPI installation. Connected cluster.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OCP v4.9.31

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install IPI cluster on OpenStack IAD2 platform having cluster version 4.9.31
2. Debug to any of the node(master/worker)
3. Check and confirm the missing search domain on all nodes of the cluster.

Actual results:
The search domain was missing when checked in `/etc/resolv.conf` file on all nodes of the cluster causing serious issues in the cluster.

Expected results:
The installer should embed the search domain in /etc/resolv.conf file on all nodes of the cluster.

Additional info:

• Cu was trying to deploy secure Kerberos on the CoreOS nodes and it failed when the IPA-client install command failed. This is when the customer noticed this unusual behavior. They did not manually update the resolv.conf file to include the $search domain. They instead added the script below to /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ and restarted NetworkManager on the node to fix this issue and installation was successful.

  #!/bin/bash

set -eo pipefail

DOMAINS="$(grep -E '\s*DOMAINS=.*iad2.dc.paas.redhat.com' $DISPATCHER_FILE \

mv /etc/resolv.tmp /etc/resolv.conf

• Cu confirms that the $search domain was missing since the cluster was freshly installed/ They even confirmed this with a fresh new cluster as well that it was missing.

• The fresh cluster was initially installed at v4.9.31 but was updated afterward to v4.9.43 (the latest z-stream) to see if the updates fixed anything but it didn't make any difference. The cluster is currently running v4.9.43 and shows the $search domain missing in the /etc/resolv.conf file on all nodes.

Description of problem:

The setting of systemReserved: ephemeral-storage in KubeletConfig is not working as expected. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

4.10.z, may exist on other OCP versions as well. 

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a KubeletConfig on the node:

apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1
kind: KubeletConfig
metadata:
  name: system-reserved-config
spec:
  machineConfigPoolSelector:
    matchLabels:
      pools.operator.machineconfiguration.openshift.io/master: ""
  kubeletConfig:
    systemReserved:
      cpu: 500m
      memory: 500Mi
      ephemeral-storage: 10Gi


2. Check node allocatable storage with command: oc describe node |grep -C 5 ephemeral-storage

Actual results:

The Allocatable:ephemeral-storage on the node is not capacity.ephemeral-storage - systemReserved.ephemeral-storage - eviction-thresholds (10% of the capacity.ephemeral-storage by default)  

Expected results:

The Allocatable:ephemeral-storage on the node should be capacity.ephemeral-storage - systemReserved.ephemeral-storage - eviction-thresholds (10% of the capacity.ephemeral-storage by default) 

Additional info:

The root cause might be: process argument '--system-reserved=cpu=500m,memory=500Mi' overwrote the setting in /etc/kubernetes/kubelet.conf, one example:

root        6824       1 27 Sep30 ?        1-09:00:24 kubelet --config=/etc/kubernetes/kubelet.conf --bootstrap-kubeconfig=/etc/kubernetes/kubeconfig --kubeconfig=/var/lib/kubelet/kubeconfig --container-runtime=remote --container-runtime-endpoint=/var/run/crio/crio.sock --runtime-cgroups=/system.slice/crio.service --node-labels=node-role.kubernetes.io/master,node.openshift.io/os_id=rhcos --node-ip=192.168.58.47 --minimum-container-ttl-duration=6m0s --cloud-provider= --volume-plugin-dir=/etc/kubernetes/kubelet-plugins/volume/exec --hostname-override= --register-with-taints=node-role.kubernetes.io/master=:NoSchedule --pod-infra-container-image=quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-v4.0-art-dev@sha256:4a7b6408460148cb73c59677dbc2c261076bc07226c43b0c9192cc70aef5ba62 --system-reserved=cpu=500m,memory=500Mi --v=2 --housekeeping-interval=30s

Lots of vendoring. I haven't checked to see how new the client code is in the various vendor packages. But the main issue seems to be the v1beta1 in:

$ git grep policy cluster-autoscaler/core cluster-autoscaler/utils | grep policy.*v1beta1
cluster-autoscaler/core/scaledown/actuation/actuator_test.go:   policyv1beta1 "k8s.io/api/policy/v1beta1"

cluster-autoscaler/utils/kubernetes/listers.go: v1policylister "k8s.io/client-go/listers/policy/v1beta1"

The main change from v1beta1 to v1 involves spec.selector; I dunno if that's relevant to the autoscaler use-case or not.

Do we run autoscaler CI? I was poking around a bit, but did not find a 4.12 periodic excercising the autoscaler that might have turned up this alert and issue.

2. if it loads successfully, keep trying  until it fails to load

Actual results:

topology will sometimes hang with the loading indicator showing indefinitely

Expected results:

topology should load consistently without fail

Reproducibility (Always/Intermittent/Only Once):

This is a clone of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2083087 (OCPBUGSM-44070) to backport this issue.

Description of problem:
"Delete dependent objects of this resource" is a bit of confusing for some users because when creating the Application in Dev console not only the deployment but also IS, route, svc, secret objects will be created as well. When deleting the Application (in fact it is deployment), there is an option called "Delete dependent objects of this resource" and some users might think this means the IS, route, svc and any other objects which are created alongside with the deployment will be deleted as well

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create Application in Dev console
2. Delete the deployment
3. Check "Delete dependent objects of this resource"

Actual results:
Only deployment will be deleted and IS, svc, route will not be deleted

Expected results:
We either change the description of this option, or we really delete IS, svc, route and any other objects created under this Application.

Description of problem:

Setting a telemeter proxy in the cluster-monitoring-config config map does not work as expected

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
the following KCS details steps to add a proxy.
The steps have been verified at 4.7 but do not work at 4.8, 4.9 or 4.10

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6172402

When testing at 4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 the proxy setting where also nested under `telemeterClient`

which triggered a telemeter restart but the proxy setting do not get set in the deployment as they do in 4.7

Actual results:

4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 without the nested `telemeterClient`
does not trigger a restart of the telemeter pod

Expected results:

I think the proxy setting should be nested under telemeterClient
but should set the environment variables in the deployment

This is a backport of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2116382 from 4.12 to 4.11.z. Creating manually because as seen in https://github.com/openshift/cluster-monitoring-operator/pull/1743 `/cherry-pick` doesn't work for bugs originally created in bugzilla

Description of problem:

This issue exists to drive the backport process of https://github.com/openshift/api/pull/1313

According to the Kubernetes documentation, starting from Kubernetes 1.22, the service-account-issuer flag can be specified multiple times. The first value is then used to generate new tokens and other values are accepted. Using this field can prevent cluster disruptions and allows for smoother reconfiguration of this field.

see: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-service-account/#service-account-token-volume-projection

The status field will allow us to keep track of "used" service account issuers and also expire/prune them.

This bug is a backport clone of [Bugzilla Bug 2034883](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2034883). The following is the description of the original bug:
—
Description of problem:

Situation (starting point):

• There is an ongoing change to the machine-config-daemon daemonset being applied by the machine-config-operator pod. It is waiting for the daemonset to roll out.
• There are some nodes not ready, so daemonset rollout never ends and waiting on that ends in timeout error.

Problem:

• Machine-config-operator pods stops trying to reconcile stuff whenever it finds timeout error in waiting for the machine-config-daemon rollout
• This implies that the `spec.kubeAPIServerServingCAData` field of controllerconfig/machine-config-controller object is not updated when the kube-apiserver-operator updates kube-apiserver-to-kubelet-client-ca configmap.
• Without that field updated, a kube-apiserver-to-kubelet-client-ca change is never rolled out to the nodes.
• That ultimately leads to cluster-wide unavailability of "oc logs", "oc rsh" etc. commands when the kube-apiserver-operator starts using a client cert signed by the new kube-apiserver-to-kubelet-client-ca to access kubelet ports.

Version-Release number of MCO (Machine Config Operator) (if applicable):

4.7.21

Platform (AWS, VSphere, Metal, etc.): (not relevant)

Are you certain that the root cause of the issue being reported is the MCO (Machine Config Operator)?
(Y/N/Not sure): Y

How reproducible:

Always if the said conditions are met.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have some nodes not ready
2. Force a change that requires machine-config-daemon daemonset rollout (I think that changing proxy settings would work for this)
3. Wait until a new kube-apiserver-to-kubelet-client-ca is rolled out by kube-apiserver-operator

Actual results:

New kube-apiserver-to-kubelet-client-ca not forwarded to controllerconfig, kube-apiserver-to-kubelet-client-ca not deployed on nodes

Expected results:

kube-apiserver-to-kubelet-client-ca forwarded to controllerconfig, kube-apiserver-to-kubelet-client-ca deployed to nodes.
