Overview

This PR includes significant improvements to the namespace-configuration-operator, resolving multiple critical issues, adding comprehensive features, and improving maintainability through code refactoring and extensive documentation.

Key Statistics


🐛 GitHub Issues Resolved

Issue #132: Status Update Conflict Blocking Subsequent Reconciles

Status: ✅ RESOLVED

Problem: Optimistic concurrency conflicts during status updates were blocking the reconciliation queue, preventing processing of subsequent namespaceconfigs.

Solution: Implemented ManageSuccessWithRetry function with automatic conflict detection, exponential backoff retry (up to 5 attempts), and re-fetch logic to ensure latest resourceVersion is used.

Impact: Prevents queue blocking, enables automatic recovery from transient conflicts, and improves observability with retry logging.

Files Modified:

  • controllers/common/reconciler_helpers.go (NEW)
  • controllers/groupconfig_controller.go
  • controllers/namespaceconfig_controller.go
  • controllers/userconfig_controller.go

Issue #134: Log Level Configuration

Status: ✅ RESOLVED

Problem: Operator creating excessive Info-level logs sent to ELK via OpenShift LogForwarder. Users needed a way to reduce log volume.

Solution:

  • Added ZAP_LOG_LEVEL and ZAP_DEVEL environment variable support
  • Two configuration methods for OLM-managed deployments:
    • Subscription-based (recommended): Update Subscription.spec.config.env
    • Kyverno Policy (alternative): ClusterPolicy injects environment variables
  • Enhanced logging with V(1) and V(2) level logging for debug information

Impact: Allows operators to control log verbosity in production environments, reducing log volume and associated costs.

Files Modified:

  • main.go
  • All three controllers (enhanced logging)
  • kyverno-policies/operator-log-level-config.yaml (NEW)

Issue #194: Field Removal with Value 0

Status: ✅ ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED

Problem: Fields with value "0" not being removed when template conditionals change from true to false.

Root Cause: Bug identified in operator-utils dependency (not in this operator).

Workaround: Using forked operator-utils with fix: github.com/ephico2real2/operator-utils@fix-issue-194-field-removal-zero-value

Note: This requires upstream fix in operator-utils repository.


Issue #50: Provide a way to identify operator generated resources

Status: ✅ FIXED

Problem: No easy way to identify resources created by the controller, causing confusion when teams create their own resources.

Solution: Operator supports identifying operator-generated resources through manual specification of labels and annotations in templates. Resources are automatically cleaned up when namespace labels are removed.

Benefits:

  • Resource identification via labels/annotations
  • Queryable resources using standard Kubernetes label selectors
  • Automatic cleanup when namespace labels are removed
  • Production-ready and sustainable approach

Documentation: Comprehensive examples and test results provided in documentation.


🔧 Core Issues Resolved

Issue 1: GroupConfig "Object is Null" Template Rendering Fix

Status: ✅ COMPLETED

Problem: GroupConfigReconciler was attempting to process templates for groups that don't match the template's conditional logic, resulting in "object is null" errors.

Solution: Implemented dynamic pattern extraction and template filtering with four new methods:

  • filterApplicableTemplates - Pre-filters templates for each group
  • isTemplateApplicableToGroup - Determines if template conditions match group
  • extractHasSuffixPatterns - Extracts hasSuffix patterns from templates
  • extractContainsPatterns - Extracts contains patterns from templates

Files Modified:

  • controllers/groupconfig_controller.go
  • controllers/groupconfig_controller_test.go (comprehensive test coverage)

Issue 2: Fix Finalizer Domain Qualification

Status: ✅ COMPLETED

Problem: Non-domain-qualified finalizer names causing Kubernetes API warnings.

Solution: Updated all three controllers to use canonical domain-qualified finalizers:

  • redhatcop.redhat.io/namespaceconfig-controller
  • redhatcop.redhat.io/groupconfig-controller
  • redhatcop.redhat.io/userconfig-controller

Files Modified:

  • controllers/namespaceconfig_controller.go
  • controllers/groupconfig_controller.go
  • controllers/userconfig_controller.go

Issue 3: Controller Reconciliation Triggering (Predicates)

Status: ✅ COMPLETED

Problem: Resources stuck in deletion were not being reconciled because deletion timestamp changes weren't triggering reconciliation.

Solution: Implemented custom predicate ResourceGenerationOrFinalizerOrDeletionTimestampChangedPredicate that handles:

  • Generation changes (spec updates)
  • Finalizer changes (added/removed)
  • Deletion timestamp changes (new)

Files Modified:

  • controllers/common/common.go (NEW - Custom predicate implementation)
  • All three controllers updated to use new predicate

Issue 4: Startup Banner and Version Information Display

Status: ✅ COMPLETED

Problem: No visible indication of which version or commit was running.

Solution: Implemented startup banner with version, commit, and build date information:

  • Version package (internal/version/version.go)
  • Automatic version detection from git or ldflags
  • Prominent ASCII art banner on startup
  • Build system integration (Makefile, PodmanMakefile, Dockerfile)

Files Modified:

  • internal/version/version.go (NEW)
  • main.go
  • Makefile
  • PodmanMakefile
  • Dockerfile

- Maintains backward compatibility with existing OR logic templates
- Add test cases for AND logic requiring all patterns to match
- Add test cases for OR logic with multiple patterns
- Add test cases demonstrating 'first match wins' behavior
- Verify pattern extraction and matching logic
- All tests passing (9 test cases total)

Test coverage:
- AND logic: group matches all patterns, matches only one (should fail), matches none (should fail)
- OR logic: multiple patterns, any condition matches
- Pattern extraction: hasSuffix and contains patterns
Add complete test suite demonstrating template filtering logic:
