What this PR does / why we need it:

The HyperShift Operator (HO) runs highly available (2 replicas by default when webhooks are enabled) but has no PodDisruptionBudget. Nothing prevents a routine voluntary maintenance operation — for example draining two nodes back-to-back during a node upgrade or cordon/drain cycle — from evicting both HO replicas in immediate succession and taking the operator fully offline, which halts reconciliation for every HostedCluster it manages. Each individual drain looks legitimate to Kubernetes; without a PDB there is no floor stopping the second eviction while the first replica is still rescheduling.

This PR adds a PodDisruptionBudget to the operator install manifest set:

  • minAvailable: 1
  • unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy: AlwaysAllow
  • selector name: operator

The budget is always emitted so the protection is present regardless of the effective replica count. This governs only the voluntary, eviction-API path (oc adm drain, cluster autoscaler consolidation, etc.); it does not change HO behavior otherwise.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes OCPBUGS-114936

Special notes for your reviewer:

Important

Cross-repo RBAC dependency — must land before this reaches MCE/ROSA.

On MCE/ROSA the HO is not installed by an admin running hypershift install; it is installed by the hypershift-addon install Job, running as ServiceAccount hypershift-addon-agent-sa. That SA's ClusterRole does not currently permit managing poddisruptionbudgets, so adding a PDB to the install manifest set causes the apply to be rejected and the whole install Job to fail.

Verified live (MCE 2.17.2, hub OCP 4.20.x):

  • Install job log: applied Deployment/Service ... then
    poddisruptionbudgets.policy "operator" is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:open-cluster-management-agent-addon:hypershift-addon-agent-sa" cannot patch resource "poddisruptionbudgets" in API group "policy"
  • oc auth can-i create poddisruptionbudgets.policy -n hypershift --as=...hypershift-addon-agent-sa → no (while deployments.apps → yes)
  • Result: hypershift-install-job-* pods repeatedly Failed; the Deployment applies (pods run) but the PDB is never created.

This feature therefore spans three coordinated PRs:

  1. openshift/hypershift (this PR) — add the PDB.
  2. stolostron/hypershift-addon-operator — add policy/poddisruptionbudgets (get/list/watch/create/update/patch/delete) to the agent ClusterRole (the *-hypershift-addon-agent role shipped via the addon-hypershift-addon-deploy ManifestWork). Load-bearing for all MCE.
  3. openshift/managed-cluster-config — add the same rule to the supplementary hypershift-addon-agent ClusterRole (deploy/hypershift-addon-agent-rbac/) for the SRE-P/ROSA management-cluster fleet.

Sequencing: land #2 (and #3 for ROSA) before this PR reaches MCE, or the addon install Job breaks fleet-wide on the forbidden PDB apply. Details tracked on OCPBUGS-114936.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The installer now creates and applies a policy/v1 PodDisruptionBudget for HyperShift operator pods. The PDB selects operator pods, sets maxUnavailable to 1, leaves minAvailable unset, and allows eviction of unhealthy pods. Tests cover direct asset construction and rendered manifests for default and single-replica configurations.

This comment says "must use maxUnavailable:1" but the assertions below check for minAvailable:1 — and the assertion message says "should use minAvailable, not maxUnavailable". The comment and the code contradict each other. Whichever strategy you pick, they need to agree.

Code Review Recommendations

1. Add PDB-selector-to-Deployment-labels cross-validation in the install test

cmd/install/install_test.go — TestHyperShiftOperatorPodDisruptionBudget

The test validates PDB field values in isolation but does not assert the fundamental contract: that the PDB selector actually matches the Deployment's pod template labels, and that both live in the same namespace. If the labels ever diverge, the PDB silently stops protecting the operator pods.

Suggested additions inside the t.Run loop, after the existing assertions:

// The PDB must target the same namespace and pods as the Deployment.
g.Expect(pdb.Namespace).To(Equal(operatorDeployment.Namespace),
    "PDB and Deployment must be in the same namespace")
for k, v := range pdb.Spec.Selector.MatchLabels {
    g.Expect(operatorDeployment.Spec.Template.Labels).To(HaveKeyWithValue(k, v),
        "PDB selector must match Deployment pod template labels")
}

2. Update setupOperatorResources doc comment

cmd/install/install.go:1372-1374

The function comment currently reads:

// setupOperatorResources creates the operator Deployment and Service resources.

It should mention the PDB now that the function also creates one:

// setupOperatorResources creates the operator Deployment, Service, and PodDisruptionBudget resources.

The HyperShift Operator runs highly available (2 replicas by default when
webhooks are enabled) but had no PodDisruptionBudget. Nothing prevented a
routine voluntary maintenance operation, such as draining two nodes
back-to-back during a node upgrade, from evicting both replicas in
immediate succession and taking the operator fully offline, halting
reconciliation for every HostedCluster it manages.

Add a PodDisruptionBudget to the operator install manifest set with
minAvailable: 1 and unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy: AlwaysAllow, selecting the
operator pods via name=operator. The budget is always emitted so the
protection is present regardless of the effective replica count.

Note a cross-repo dependency: on MCE/ROSA the operator is installed by the
hypershift-addon install Job, whose ServiceAccount must be granted
policy/poddisruptionbudgets permissions in the addon agent ClusterRole
(stolostron/hypershift-addon-operator, and openshift/managed-cluster-config
for the SRE-P/ROSA fleet), otherwise the install Job fails on the forbidden
PDB apply. That RBAC must land before this change reaches MCE.

@dhgautam99: Jira Issue OCPBUGS-114936: All pull requests linked via external trackers have merged:

Jira Issue OCPBUGS-114936 has been moved to the MODIFIED state.

Details

In response to this:

What this PR does / why we need it:

The HyperShift Operator (HO) runs highly available (2 replicas by default when webhooks are enabled) but has no PodDisruptionBudget. Nothing prevents a routine voluntary maintenance operation — for example draining two nodes back-to-back during a node upgrade or cordon/drain cycle — from evicting both HO replicas in immediate succession and taking the operator fully offline, which halts reconciliation for every HostedCluster it manages. Each individual drain looks legitimate to Kubernetes; without a PDB there is no floor stopping the second eviction while the first replica is still rescheduling.

This PR adds a PodDisruptionBudget to the operator install manifest set:

  • minAvailable: 1
  • unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy: AlwaysAllow
  • selector name: operator

The budget is always emitted so the protection is present regardless of the effective replica count. This governs only the voluntary, eviction-API path (oc adm drain, cluster autoscaler consolidation, etc.); it does not change HO behavior otherwise.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes OCPBUGS-114936

Depends on:

Special notes for your reviewer:

[!IMPORTANT]
Cross-repo RBAC dependency — must land before this reaches MCE/ROSA.

On MCE/ROSA the HO is not installed by an admin running hypershift install; it is installed by the hypershift-addon install Job, running as ServiceAccount hypershift-addon-agent-sa. That SA's ClusterRole does not currently permit managing poddisruptionbudgets, so adding a PDB to the install manifest set causes the apply to be rejected and the whole install Job to fail.

Verified live (MCE 2.17.2, hub OCP 4.20.x):

  • Install job log: applied Deployment/Service ... then
    poddisruptionbudgets.policy "operator" is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:open-cluster-management-agent-addon:hypershift-addon-agent-sa" cannot patch resource "poddisruptionbudgets" in API group "policy"
  • oc auth can-i create poddisruptionbudgets.policy -n hypershift --as=...hypershift-addon-agent-sa → no (while deployments.apps → yes)
  • Result: hypershift-install-job-* pods repeatedly Failed; the Deployment applies (pods run) but the PDB is never created.

This feature therefore spans three coordinated PRs:

  1. openshift/hypershift (this PR) — add the PDB.
  2. stolostron/hypershift-addon-operator — add policy/poddisruptionbudgets (get/list/watch/create/update/patch/delete) to the agent ClusterRole (the *-hypershift-addon-agent role shipped via the addon-hypershift-addon-deploy ManifestWork). Load-bearing for all MCE.
  3. openshift/managed-cluster-config — add the same rule to the supplementary hypershift-addon-agent ClusterRole (deploy/hypershift-addon-agent-rbac/) for the SRE-P/ROSA management-cluster fleet.

Sequencing: land #2 (and #3 for ROSA) before this PR reaches MCE, or the addon install Job breaks fleet-wide on the forbidden PDB apply. Details tracked on OCPBUGS-114936.
