fix(etcd): spread members across nodes with default soft pod anti-affinity - #3962
Conversation
…inity The etcd chart only set a soft topologySpreadConstraints and never rendered spec.affinity, so the scheduler could place several members of a 3-node EtcdCluster on the same node; losing that node then took out quorum (observed in production after a single node reboot). Render EtcdCluster.spec.affinity from a new `affinity` value. When it is left empty the chart applies a soft (preferred) podAntiAffinity on kubernetes.io/hostname, so members are spread on a best-effort basis without ever leaving a member Pending on small or node-pinned-storage clusters. Operators can override the value — e.g. a hard requiredDuringScheduling rule — where node count and storage allow.

NOT LGTM — one blocking finding.
The etcd chart (packages/extra/etcd) is a tested area (helm unittest, with an analogous topology-spread_test.yaml), but this PR's new two-branch affinity rendering logic ({{- with .Values.affinity }} … {{- else }} <soft default> {{- end }}) ships with zero test coverage. Add default-branch and override-branch helm unittest cases (per the full review comment) and this is a clean LGTM.
Full review with verification notes and the exact assertions to add: #3962 (comment)
The affinity value added in this branch introduced a two-branch conditional in templates/etcd-cluster.yaml (default soft podAntiAffinity vs. a supplied value) with no coverage. Add a helm unittest suite pinning both branches: the default preferred per-host rule, and that a supplied affinity replaces the default outright (no preferred rule leaks through).

LGTM. I checked the load-bearing facts, not just the diff surface.
spec.affinityis a real top-level field on theetcd-operator.cozystack.io/v1alpha2EtcdClusterCRD (a core/v1 Affinity), so the value actually lands on the object rather than being dropped.- The rollout is safe from both directions. There is no CEL immutability guard on
affinity(the CRD only pinstls,storage.storageClassName,auth,bootstrap), so it applies cleanly to already-adopted clusters. And per the CRD's own field doc the operator applies affinity only to newly-created members without rolling existing Pods, so upgrading the fleet does not restart running etcd members. - The template logic holds: the empty-map default takes the
elsebranch, a suppliedaffinityreplaces the default outright, and thenotExistsassertion in the second test proves it replaces rather than merges.helm unittestpasses andmake generatereproduces the schema/README/cozyrds output byte-for-byte.

[MINOR] This soft podAntiAffinity overlaps the default topologySpreadConstraints rendered just above (both soft, both on kubernetes.io/hostname), so on a default install it is mostly redundant scoring. It does earn its keep when _cluster.scheduling.globalAppTopologySpreadConstraints swaps the TSC for a non-hostname topologyKey, since the affinity default then still keeps per-host spreading. Fine to keep as-is, just flagging the overlap.

[MINOR] Worth one line on the upgrade behavior: per the CRD, the operator applies affinity only to newly-created members and does not reschedule running Pods. On a cluster that already has co-located members (the exact failure this PR targets) the default will not redistribute them until each member is replaced. Documenting that here avoids the expectation that the fix is retroactive.

…inity (#3962) ## What this PR does The `etcd` chart hardcoded only a **soft** `topologySpreadConstraints` (`whenUnsatisfiable: ScheduleAnyway`) and never rendered `spec.affinity`, even though the `EtcdCluster` CRD supports it. On small clusters the scheduler therefore co-locates multiple members on one node; losing that node takes out quorum (or the whole cluster). We hit this in production: a single node reboot left several 3-member etcd clusters with 2–3 members on the downed node, and one tenant's control-plane etcd lost quorum until the node came back. This renders `EtcdCluster.spec.affinity` from a new `affinity` value: - **Default (value left empty):** the chart applies a **soft** (preferred) `podAntiAffinity` on `kubernetes.io/hostname`, so members spread across nodes on a best-effort basis. Soft on purpose — a hard rule would leave a member `Pending` when replicas exceed schedulable nodes, or when node-local storage pins a member to a node, so it is safe to default on. - **Override:** set `affinity` to any rule — e.g. a hard `requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution` podAntiAffinity — to forbid co-location outright on clusters with enough nodes and non-node-pinned storage. A supplied value replaces the default cleanly. The existing `topologySpreadConstraints` block (and its `_cluster.scheduling.globalAppTopologySpreadConstraints` override) is unchanged. Generated artifacts (`values.schema.json`, `README.md`, and the embedded `openAPISchema` in `etcd-rd`) were regenerated with `make generate`; `make test` passes (18/18). ### Screenshots n/a — no UI changes. ### Downstream repositories Walked the trigger map against the diff: this only adds one values key to an app chart. No package is added/renamed/removed, `kind`/`plural` are unchanged, no installer values or release assets or variants change, and `README.md` is regenerated here (the website bot regenerates reference pages from it on release). No manual downstream follow-up is required. - [x] No downstream repository is affected by this change ### Release note ```release-note fix(etcd): etcd clusters now spread their members across nodes by default via a soft podAntiAffinity, and expose an `affinity` value so operators can set a hard rule; previously a single node could host a quorum of members and take out the cluster when it failed. ``` <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Added configurable pod affinity rules for etcd deployments. * By default, etcd members use soft anti-affinity to spread across hosts without blocking scheduling. * Custom affinity settings can override the default behavior. * Exposed affinity configuration in the etcd application schema and dashboard. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

…4986) ## What this PR does The tenant etcd chart spreads members with `maxSkew: 1` on `kubernetes.io/hostname` and `whenUnsatisfiable: ScheduleAnyway`, the default since #119. `ScheduleAnyway` only adds to the score of a node and other scores can outweigh it, so two members of one etcd can still start on the same node, where a node-local volume then keeps them. This PR makes the default `DoNotSchedule` with `nodeTaintsPolicy: Ignore`. The branch for `_cluster.scheduling.globalAppTopologySpreadConstraints` is untouched, so a platform that sets its own policy renders exactly as before, and the soft pod anti-affinity from #3962 stays. Seen on a three-node cluster running v1.6.4, whose `etcd-cluster.yaml` and etcd-operator v0.5.5 are the same as in v1.6.5. A new tenant etcd got the Pods of its first two members on one node, created 26 seconds apart, and the third on another node 18 seconds later. The Pods carry the `ScheduleAnyway` constraint and were scheduled by `linstor-scheduler`, whose profile adds the LINSTOR extender's prioritize score to the same sum with weight 5. The data volumes are on a node-local StorageClass with `WaitForFirstConsumer` and `allowRemoteVolumeAccess: "false"`, so the two members cannot leave that node, and losing it takes the quorum. A second tenant etcd created there the next day came up the same way. On a test cluster four tenant etcds created within one week each had two members on one node, and we moved one member of each by hand. `DoNotSchedule` does not stop an etcd with more members than nodes from starting when every node can run its Pods, unlike a required anti-affinity, because the skew is counted between the nodes that exist. kube-scheduler rejects a node only when the matching Pods on it plus the new one exceed the node with the fewest by more than `maxSkew` ([filtering.go](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/v1.34.1/pkg/scheduler/framework/plugins/podtopologyspread/filtering.go#L334-L352)). One node takes all three members, two nodes take two and one, and three or more nodes take one each. A member whose only allowed node cannot take it, for example because the storage pool there is full, now waits Pending instead of joining another member. `nodeTaintsPolicy: Ignore` is the Kubernetes default and is written out on purpose. A cordoned node carries `node.kubernetes.io/unschedulable`, and `Honor` would take it out of the count ([common.go](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/v1.34.1/pkg/scheduler/framework/plugins/podtopologyspread/common.go#L50-L54)), so a member created during a drain would start next to another member and stay there on a node-local volume. With `Ignore` it waits Pending until the node is back, while the other two keep quorum. The cost is that a node no member can run on, such as a tainted control plane, counts as an empty node too, so on a cluster with such a node each schedulable node takes at most one member and the members beyond that do not start. #4947 makes the same choice for the SeaweedFS masters and checked both policies in kwok. A platform that wants the old behaviour can set `scheduling.globalAppTopologySpreadConstraints` to `ScheduleAnyway`, which the other charts that read it pick up as well, and a new test case pins that the chart renders such a policy as written. On upgrade nothing is recreated. The etcd-operator adopts a changed `spec.topologySpreadConstraints` into `status.observed` once the cluster has reached its current target, or its progress deadline has passed ([etcdcluster_controller.go#L203-L214](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.6/controllers/etcdcluster_controller.go#L203-L214)). It copies the value from there into the spec of an `EtcdMember` only when it creates one, at bootstrap ([#L446](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.6/controllers/etcdcluster_controller.go#L446)) and on scale-up ([#L851](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.6/controllers/etcdcluster_controller.go#L851)), and nothing in the operator writes it into an existing `EtcdMember`. The member controller creates a Pod only when it is missing and builds it from that member's own copy ([etcdmember_controller.go#L499-L512](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.6/controllers/etcdmember_controller.go#L499-L512), [#L545-L549](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.6/controllers/etcdmember_controller.go#L545-L549), [#L860](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.6/controllers/etcdmember_controller.go#L860)). So running members keep `ScheduleAnyway`, and so does a member whose Pod is evicted, deleted or replaced after a terminal phase ([#L164-L186](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.6/controllers/etcdmember_controller.go#L164-L186)), since the new Pod is built from the same copy. Only members created after the upgrade get `DoNotSchedule`, which means a scale-up, a crash-loop replacement or a member whose `EtcdMember` was deleted. No member is rolled, neither one at a time nor all at once. This matches the field docs ([etcdcluster_types.go#L542-L549](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.6/api/v1alpha2/etcdcluster_types.go#L542-L549), [etcdmember_types.go#L112-L116](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.6/api/v1alpha2/etcdmember_types.go#L112-L116)). The code paths are the same in v0.5.8, and in v0.5.5, which v1.6.4 and v1.6.5 ship, except that v0.5.5 does not yet replace a Pod left in a terminal phase. Members that already share a node therefore stay there. One of them moves only when a new `EtcdMember` takes its place, and the constraint then sends the replacement to the node without a member. That is how we moved the members on the test cluster, with `DoNotSchedule` set on the `EtcdCluster` by hand. The operator's docs say a scheduling change can be applied by deleting one Pod at a time ([concepts.md#L272](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.6/docs/concepts.md#L272)), but the recreated Pod gets the member's old copy, so that does not move it. The release note now declares two cases from review. In the first, an etcd created while the cluster had fewer nodes than members has two or three members on one node, and once a node is added a recreated Pod of one of them stays Pending, since `maxSkew` rejects its own node and its node-local volume rules out the others. Deleting that member's `EtcdMember` while the other members keep quorum replaces it on a node without a member. In v0.5.5 the member finalizer removes the member from etcd through the remaining members before the object goes ([`handleDeletion`](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.5/controllers/etcdmember_controller.go#L195-L231), [`removeMemberFromEtcd`](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.5/controllers/etcdmember_controller.go#L243-L310)), its Pod and its `data-<member>` PVC are owned by it and deleted with it ([#L403](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.5/controllers/etcdmember_controller.go#L403), [#L490](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.5/controllers/etcdmember_controller.go#L490)), and the cluster controller waits for the deletion, then adds a member under a new name with the constraints from `status.observed` ([etcdcluster_controller.go#L254-L312](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.5/controllers/etcdcluster_controller.go#L254-L312), [`scaleUp`](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.5/controllers/etcdcluster_controller.go#L820-L851)). Its new PVC binds where its Pod lands, and under `DoNotSchedule` only a node without a member passes. The operator documents the same steps for a broken member, along with the limit that `MemberRemove` cannot run without quorum ([operations.md#L208-L231](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.5/docs/operations.md#L208-L231)), and v0.5.6, which main and `release-1.6` ship now, has the same path. The upstream chart of the operator installs a policy that denies `EtcdMember` deletion without the `etcd-operator.cozystack.io/allow-deletion=true` annotation ([member-deletion-policy.yaml](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.5/charts/etcd-operator/templates/member-deletion-policy.yaml)), and the `etcd-operator` package here does not install it. On a three-node cluster running v0.5.5 a tenant etcd had two members on one node with `DoNotSchedule` in effect. We deleted the `EtcdMember` of one of the two while the other members kept quorum. The replacement's Pod and its new node-local PVC were scheduled on the node without a member, the member joined, and the `EtcdCluster` stayed `Available` with quorum the whole time, polled every 5 seconds. In the second case `nodeTaintsPolicy: Ignore` counts a node the Pods cannot tolerate as one with zero members, so on a cluster with such a node and fewer schedulable nodes than members the members beyond the schedulable nodes do not start. The way out is the soft global policy in the platform `Package`, set before the upgrade. ```yaml apiVersion: cozystack.io/v1alpha1 kind: Package metadata: name: cozystack.cozystack-platform spec: components: platform: values: scheduling: globalAppTopologySpreadConstraints: | topologySpreadConstraints: - maxSkew: 1 topologyKey: kubernetes.io/hostname whenUnsatisfiable: ScheduleAnyway ``` The platform chart writes `scheduling` into `_cluster` of the `cozystack-values` Secret ([apps.yaml#L292-L295](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/55aad6f91456cb545601a83aaecf39118e943b04/packages/core/platform/templates/apps.yaml#L292-L295)), the tenant chart copies `_cluster` into the Secret of each tenant namespace ([namespace.yaml#L109-L120](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/55aad6f91456cb545601a83aaecf39118e943b04/packages/apps/tenant/templates/namespace.yaml#L109-L120)), and this chart renders the value as written, which the new test case pins. Rendering the platform and tenant charts with the value above, on main and on `release-1.6`, gives the same string in both Secrets. The operator adopts a changed spec into `status.observed` only once all members are Ready or the progress deadline has passed ([etcdcluster_controller.go#L196-L213](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.5/controllers/etcdcluster_controller.go#L196-L213)), and it clears the deadline when the cluster converges ([#L1448-L1456](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.5/controllers/etcdcluster_controller.go#L1448-L1456)). A new etcd stuck short of its members adopts the policy once its first deadline passes, and deleting the `EtcdMember` of the Pending member then brings a replacement that starts. An etcd that had converged before one of its replacements went Pending adopts the policy only after the deadline is forced as the operator docs describe ([operations.md#L197-L206](https://github.com/cozystack/etcd-operator/blob/v0.5.5/docs/operations.md#L197-L206)), which is why the release note says to set it before the upgrade. #4817 moves this block into `_etcd.tpl` in cozy-lib without changing it, so whichever of the two lands second has to carry the two lines over. `tests/topology-spread_test.yaml` now pins the whole default constraint, and a new case pins that a `ScheduleAnyway` policy from `globalAppTopologySpreadConstraints` renders as written, without `nodeTaintsPolicy`. The existing zone override case is unchanged. Against the template on main the suite fails only the default case, 1 failed and 25 passed. Switching the default to `Honor`, to `ScheduleAnyway` or to `maxSkew: 2` fails the default case, and adding `nodeTaintsPolicy` to the override branch fails the new case. ```console $ docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/apps -w /apps/packages/extra/etcd helmunittest/helm-unittest:4.2.3-1.1.2 . Charts: 1 passed, 1 total Test Suites: 9 passed, 9 total Tests: 26 passed, 26 total ``` On main the same command gives 25 tests in 9 suites, with helm-unittest 1.1.2 as CI pins it. With default values `helm template` differs from main in the two lines and in the comment above the affinity block, and with a global policy set only in that comment. The docs commit changes the `affinity` description, from which `make generate` rewrites the README, `values.schema.json` and the `ApplicationDefinition` with nothing but that text, and the suite stays at 26 tests. I have not rolled this chart change out on a cluster. The spread block and the test file are the same on release-1.6 and release-1.7. On release-1.6 the template has no affinity block yet, so the fix commit cherry-picks without conflicts and the docs commit has nothing to change there. That backport is a separate PR. ### Screenshots Not a UI change. ### Downstream repositories One changed and one added line in `packages/extra/etcd/templates/etcd-cluster.yaml` and its test suite, and new text for the `affinity` description and the comment above the affinity block. The description reaches `values.schema.json`, the README and the `ApplicationDefinition` as text only, with no key, type or default change, and the website rebuilds the etcd reference page from the README on release. The website mentions `globalAppTopologySpreadConstraints` only as a platform setting, which stays as it is, so no trigger map entry applies. - [x] No downstream repository is affected by this change - [ ] [cozystack/website](https://github.com/cozystack/website) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ansible-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/ansible-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ccp](https://github.com/cozystack/ccp) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/talm](https://github.com/cozystack/talm) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozyhr](https://github.com/cozystack/cozyhr) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozy-proxy](https://github.com/cozystack/cozy-proxy) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/external-apps-example](https://github.com/cozystack/external-apps-example) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/examples](https://github.com/cozystack/examples) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/community](https://github.com/cozystack/community) - follow-up: ### Release note ```release-note fix(etcd): tenant etcd members now spread over nodes with whenUnsatisfiable DoNotSchedule by default, so two members of one etcd no longer start on the same node while another node has none. Members that exist are not moved, only members created after the upgrade get the new constraint. An etcd created while the cluster had fewer nodes than members puts two or three members on one node. Once a node is added, such a member whose Pod is recreated (drain, eviction, graceful node shutdown) stays Pending, because maxSkew rejects its own node and its node-local volume rules out the others. With two nodes grown to three the etcd runs two of three members and its PodDisruptionBudget blocks draining the other nodes. With one node grown to three a reboot of that node brings back one member of three and quorum is lost. A stranded member is replaced by deleting its EtcdMember while the other members keep quorum. Its Pod and PVC go with it, and the replacement gets a new Pod and PVC on the node without a member. Right after adding nodes, doing this for one co-located member at a time while all members are Ready avoids the case. With nodeTaintsPolicy Ignore a node the etcd Pods cannot tolerate, such as a tainted control plane, counts as a node with zero members, so no node can take a second member. On a cluster with such a node and fewer schedulable nodes than members, a new etcd starts only as many members as there are schedulable nodes, one of three on a single schedulable node. An existing etcd there keeps its members, but a member it replaces stays Pending the same way. Either case is avoided by setting scheduling.globalAppTopologySpreadConstraints in spec.components.platform.values of the cozystack.cozystack-platform Package to a topologySpreadConstraints entry with maxSkew 1, topologyKey kubernetes.io/hostname and whenUnsatisfiable ScheduleAnyway before the upgrade. Every app chart that reads this value applies it, two members of a new etcd can share a node again, and the operator gives it only to members created after it adopts the changed EtcdCluster spec into status.observed. Once status.observed.topologySpreadConstraints of an EtcdCluster shows ScheduleAnyway, a member of it that stays Pending is replaced by deleting its EtcdMember. ``` <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> <!-- coderabbit-ai-generated:v1 --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Bug Fixes** - Default etcd placement now requires even spreading across hosts and ignores node taints when evaluating placement. - Configurable cluster-wide spreading continues to use a flexible scheduling policy when selected. - **Documentation** - Clarified how affinity and topology spreading work together, when required anti-affinity or node-local storage can leave members pending, and that affinity changes take effect as members are replaced. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
What this PR does
The
etcdchart hardcoded only a softtopologySpreadConstraints(whenUnsatisfiable: ScheduleAnyway) and never renderedspec.affinity, even though theEtcdClusterCRD supports it. On small clusters the scheduler therefore co-locates multiple members on one node; losing that node takes out quorum (or the whole cluster).We hit this in production: a single node reboot left several 3-member etcd clusters with 2–3 members on the downed node, and one tenant's control-plane etcd lost quorum until the node came back.
This renders
EtcdCluster.spec.affinityfrom a newaffinityvalue:podAntiAffinityonkubernetes.io/hostname, so members spread across nodes on a best-effort basis. Soft on purpose — a hard rule would leave a memberPendingwhen replicas exceed schedulable nodes, or when node-local storage pins a member to a node, so it is safe to default on.affinityto any rule — e.g. a hardrequiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecutionpodAntiAffinity — to forbid co-location outright on clusters with enough nodes and non-node-pinned storage. A supplied value replaces the default cleanly.The existing
