Hosted control planes release notes

Previously, when a hosted cluster proxy was configured and it used an identity provider (IDP) that had an HTTP or HTTPS endpoint, the hostname of the IDP was unresolved before sending it through the proxy. Consequently, hostnames that could only be resolved by the data plane failed to resolve for IDPs. With this update, a DNS lookup is performed before sending IPD traffic through the konnectivity tunnel. As a result, IDPs with hostnames that can only be resolved by the data plane can be verified by the Control Plane Operator. (OCPBUGS-41371)

Previously, when the hosted cluster controllerAvailabilityPolicy was set to SingleReplica, podAntiAffinity on networking components blocked the availability of the components. With this release, the issue is resolved. (OCPBUGS-39313)

Previously, the AdditionalTrustedCA that was specified in the hosted cluster image configuration was not reconciled into the openshift-config namespace, as expected by the image-registry-operator, and the component did not become available. With this release, the issue is resolved. (OCPBUGS-39225)

Previously, Red Hat HyperShift periodic conformance jobs failed because of changes to the core operating system. These failed jobs caused the OpenShift API deployment to fail. With this release, an update recursively copies individual trusted certificate authority (CA) certificates instead of copying a single file, so that the periodic conformance jobs succeed and the OpenShift API runs as expected. (OCPBUGS-38941)

Previously, the Konnectivity proxy agent in a hosted cluster always sent all TCP traffic through an HTTP/S proxy. It also ignored host names in the NO_PROXY configuration because it only received resolved IP addresses in its traffic. As a consequence, traffic that was not meant to be proxied, such as LDAP traffic, was proxied regardless of configuration. With this release, proxying is completed at the source (control plane) and the Konnectivity agent proxying configuration is removed. As a result, traffic that is not meant to be proxied, such as LDAP traffic, is not proxied anymore. The NO_PROXY configuration that includes host names is honored. (OCPBUGS-38637)

Previously, the azure-disk-csi-driver-controller image was not getting appropriate override values when using registryOverride. This was intentional so as to avoid propagating the values to the azure-disk-csi-driver data plane images. With this update, the issue is resolved by adding a separate image override value. As a result, the azure-disk-csi-driver-controller can be used with registryOverride and no longer affects azure-disk-csi-driver data plane images. (OCPBUGS-38183)

Previously, the AWS cloud controller manager within a hosted control plane that was running on a proxied management cluster would not use the proxy for cloud API communication. With this release, the issue is fixed. (OCPBUGS-37832)

Previously, proxying for Operators that run in the control plane of a hosted cluster was performed through proxy settings on the Konnectivity agent pod that runs in the data plane. It was not possible to distinguish if proxying was needed based on application protocol.

Previously, proxying for IDP communication occurred in the Konnectivity agent. By the time traffic reached Konnectivity, its protocol and hostname were no longer available. As a consequence, proxying was not done correctly for the OAUTH server pod. It did not distinguish between protocols that require proxying (http/s) and protocols that do not (ldap://). In addition, it did not honor the no_proxy variable that is configured in the HostedCluster.spec.configuration.proxy spec.

Previously, the Hosted Cluster Config Operator (HCCO) did not delete the ImageDigestMirrorSet CR (IDMS) after you removed the ImageContentSources field from the HostedCluster object. As a consequence, the IDMS persisted in the HostedCluster object when it should not. With this release, the HCCO manages the deletion of IDMS resources from the HostedCluster object. (OCPBUGS-34820)

Previously, deploying a hostedCluster in a disconnected environment required setting the hypershift.openshift.io/control-plane-operator-image annotation. With this update, the annotation is no longer needed. Additionally, the metadata inspector works as expected during the hosted Operator reconciliation, and OverrideImages is populated as expected. (OCPBUGS-34734)

Previously, hosted clusters on AWS leveraged their VPC’s primary CIDR range to generate security group rules on the data plane. As a consequence, if you installed a hosted cluster into an AWS VPC with multiple CIDR ranges, the generated security group rules could be insufficient. With this update, security group rules are generated based on the provided machine CIDR range to resolve this issue. (OCPBUGS-34274)

Previously, the OpenShift Cluster Manager container did not have the right TLS certificates. As a consequence, you could not use image streams in disconnected deployments. With this release, the TLS certificates are added as projected volumes to resolve this issue. (OCPBUGS-31446)

Previously, the bulk destroy option in the multicluster engine for Kubernetes Operator console for OpenShift Virtualization did not destroy a hosted cluster. With this release, this issue is resolved. (ACM-10165)

If the annotation and the ManagedCluster resource name do not match, the multicluster engine for Kubernetes Operator console displays the cluster as Pending import. The cluster cannot be used by the multicluster engine Operator. The same issue happens when there is no annotation and the ManagedCluster name does not match the Infra-ID value of the HostedCluster resource.

When you use the multicluster engine for Kubernetes Operator console to add a new node pool to an existing hosted cluster, the same version of OpenShift Container Platform might appear more than once in the list of options. You can select any instance in the list for the version that you want.

When a node pool is scaled down to 0 workers, the list of hosts in the console still shows nodes in a Ready state. You can verify the number of nodes in two ways:

When you create a hosted cluster in an environment that uses the dual-stack network, you might encounter the following DNS-related issues:

On the Agent platform, the hosted control planes feature periodically rotates the token that the Agent uses to pull ignition. As a result, if you have an Agent resource that was created some time ago, it might fail to pull ignition. As a workaround, in the Agent specification, delete the secret of the IgnitionEndpointTokenReference property then add or modify any label on the Agent resource. The system re-creates the secret with the new token.

If you created a hosted cluster in the same namespace as its managed cluster, detaching the managed hosted cluster deletes everything in the managed cluster namespace including the hosted cluster. The following situations can create a hosted cluster in the same namespace as its managed cluster:
