feat(kafka)!: run on Strimzi 1.2.0 and Kafka 4.x - #4900
This upgrades the Kafka operator to Strimzi 1.2.0. Kafka 4.3 is the application default, with 4.2 also available. Upgrades must pass through Cozystack v1.7 and finish the ZooKeeper-to-KRaft migration first.
The upgrade now stops while any Kafka lacks KRaft evidence. Every Kafka must report a nonempty kafkaMetadataVersion and the KRaft metadata state. The API conversion deletes that state, so without it a Kafka needs Ready=True or the cozystack.io/kraft-verified annotation, which migration 61 writes on every Kafka it accepts before it stops the operators. Any other explicit state blocks, and the error gives the reason for each Kafka. On every variant, the platform chart refuses to switch package sources while Strimzi still serves v1beta2 and a Kafka fails that check. On variants without the migration hook, it also refuses while any Strimzi CRD still stores v1beta2, so /migrations/61 has to run first. Migration 61 checks the same evidence again, including on repeat runs, and blocks unfinished broker-pool drains. A manual change that bypasses the managed package source is outside this check.
Existing Kafka 3.x applications move to v4.3. Kafka 4 no longer accepts clients older than Kafka 2.1. Kafka 4 also rejects the topic settings message.format.version, message.downconversion.enable and message.timestamp.difference.max.ms, and a segment.bytes below 1 MiB (1048576), which Kafka 3.x accepted down to 14 bytes. A Kafka 4 broker whose log holds such a topic does not start. The chart now refuses to render a topic that sets any of these. The platform upgrade refuses to start while a Kafka application sets one, and migration 61 also checks KafkaTopic resources, so topics created outside the chart are caught too. A topic created through the Kafka admin API without a KafkaTopic is not visible to these checks. Restoring a topic-metadata backup taken on Kafka 3.x skips the three removed settings and raises a smaller segment.bytes to 1 MiB, with a warning for each. In-place downgrades are unsupported. The default 10-minute Helm timeout can leave a long broker roll Failed until its retry succeeds.
The migration does not run automatically on every platform variant. Only the isp-* variants run it automatically. On other variants, run /migrations/61 from the matching migrations image before upgrading, as the Kafka README describes. The migration converts Strimzi resources and stored Helm references to v1. It stamps platform version 62. Running it manually also skips earlier migrations on a later move to an isp-* variant. A failed conversion can leave the old operators stopped until the migration succeeds and the operator release upgrades. The failed conversion Job stays for diagnosis, but its ClusterRole, binding and ServiceAccount are removed. A Job that is still running when the wait times out keeps them, because the retry waits for it.
Known limitations. Migration 61 converts with the old operator stopped, while Strimzi's conversion guide expects a running operator of 0.49 or later. I stop it because 0.45 keeps writing the Kafka status through v1beta2, but I have not checked this on a live cluster. Objects Strimzi created keep ownerReferences to v1beta2 until Strimzi 1.2 reconciles them. Deleting a Kafka before that can leave dependents behind, and the chart's pre-delete hook covers only StrimziPodSets. The conversion image is pulled from quay.io by digest with no values override, so an air-gapped cluster has to mirror it under the same name.
The full offline unit run passed on Linux on 1171d63adfafb45be34214fb9a0f565723e255fd: 2,576 cases, no failures, errors or skipped tests. Later changes were checked on 69c704499fa4 with the Bats tests for migration 61, the migration runner, the Kafka hooks and the Kafka backup scripts (102), the platform Helm suite (310 tests) and the Kafka Helm suite (91 tests). The current head 32d7f0f9f938 passed the same Bats tests (110) and the platform and Kafka Helm suites (312 and 94 tests). I have not validated this revision on a live cluster.
The Terraform provider does not model the Kafka version field. The website issue covers the upgrade notes the default variant needs.
Release note
feat(kafka)!: upgrade to Strimzi 1.2.0 and Kafka 4.3 by default, with Kafka 4.2 also available. Platform migration 61 converts Strimzi resources to v1 and moves Kafka 3.x applications to v4.3. Every Kafka must have confirmed KRaft state before the upgrade, including on repeat runs. Upgrade through Cozystack v1.7 first. Kafka 4 drops clients older than Kafka 2.1 and the message.format.version, message.downconversion.enable and message.timestamp.difference.max.ms topic settings, and requires segment.bytes of at least 1 MiB; the chart and the upgrade refuse a topic that breaks either rule, and a topic-metadata backup taken on Kafka 3.x restores without the removed settings and with segment.bytes raised to 1 MiB. In-place downgrades are unsupported.

The pull request upgrades Kafka to version 4.3 and Strimzi to 1.2.0. It adds platform migration 61→62 to convert Strimzi resources and references to v1. It also updates Kafka application charts, operator configuration, dashboards, backup examples, and E2E checks.
Migration 61 checks cluster state, runs CRD conversion when needed, updates Kafka application versions, and rewrites Helm release manifests and managedFields to v1. It verifies the results before stamping version 62. Tests and fixtures cover conversion, retries, gates, and failure cases.
Strimzi CRDs move to v1 and update schemas, validation, and required fields. The KafkaMirrorMaker CRD is removed.
Operator chart and platform wiring packages/system/kafka-operator/Chart.yaml, packages/system/kafka-operator/charts/strimzi-kafka-operator/*, packages/core/platform/sources/kafka-operator.yaml
The operator chart advances to 1.2.0. Its values and templates add or update workload settings, permissions, namespace bindings, and network-policy support. The platform PackageSource sets upgradeCRDs to CreateReplace.
Kafka application version and node pools api/apps/v1alpha1/kafka/*, packages/apps/kafka/*, packages/system/kafka-rd/cozyrds/kafka.yaml
Kafka defaults and allowed versions change to v4.3 and v4.2. The chart emits Strimzi v1 resources and simplifies its node-pool hook. Tests, docs, backup examples, and E2E checks reflect the updated versions and APIs.
Operator monitoring and dashboards packages/system/kafka-operator/alerts/*, packages/system/kafka-operator/charts/strimzi-kafka-operator/files/grafana-dashboards/*
ZooKeeper alerts and dashboard content are removed. Other dashboards update metric queries, panels, null-value displays, and UIDs.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 1171d
On the default variant, the platform upgrade can switch to the Strimzi 1.2 operator before the Kafka resources are converted, which makes the operator upgrade fail. The migration also has open recovery and race edge cases. The README does not yet tell tenants about the topic config removal or client compatibility checks. Fix the guard and the migration before merging.

Explanation
The title "feat(kafka)!: run on Strimzi 1.2.0 and Kafka 4.x" matches the main change. The diff upgrades the Kafka operator chart to Strimzi 1.2.0 with v1 CRDs, makes Kafka 4.3 the default version, and removes the ZooKeeper migration logic. The conventional-commit prefix and breaking-change marker also match the breaking changes described in the objectives. The title is concise and specific, and it does not use vague terms.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
#4365 requires a fail-closed preflight. It must list every Kafka CR and fail while any has status.kafkaMetadataState != KRaft. It must print the affected namespaces and releases.
The reviewed head adds a second gate. The new helper cozystack.platform.kafkaKRaftGuard in packages/core/platform/templates/_helpers.tpl runs when the kafkas.kafka.strimzi.io CRD serves v1beta2. It lists all Kafka resources and fails the render if the list cannot be read. A Kafka counts as unproven when spec.zookeeper is set, or when its KRaft evidence is missing. Each unproven entry is printed as namespace/name, with the Helm release when the meta.helm.sh/release-name annotation is set. The visible part of the file confirms this list. The fail text after the truncation point was not read. The migration 61→62 script in packages/core/platform/images/migrations/migrations/61 also gates on KRaft evidence and a pending drain. The previous assessment found this gate fail-closed.
The Ready fallback (kafkaMetadataState absent, kafkaMetadataVersion set, Ready=True) departs from the literal issue text. The PR gives the reason: Strimzi 0.51 and later no longer write kafkaMetadataState. A missing status still fails closed. The gate uses the issue's allowed fallback of a gate in the Strimzi upgrade PR, because #3458 is not used here.
The PR description names migration 60 and platform version 61. The code names migration 61→62 and platform version 62. This naming gap does not change the #4365 requirement, but the description should match the code.
Not confirmed: the bats and helm-unittest cases for the guard were listed in the summary, but their content was not read. The exact fail message after the truncation point was not read.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The whole-PR diff relative to merge base 238b3ee maps to the Strimzi 1.2.0 and Kafka 4.x upgrade and to the #4365 gate. The new kafkaKRaftGuard helper and its repository hook and helm-unittest cover the #4365 gate. The migration 61→62 script and its bats tests cover conversion to v1 and the KRaft gate. The other changes cover the kafka chart, the vendored strimzi-kafka-operator chart and CRDs, the CRD upgrade setting, backup scripts and tests, and the removed JVM sizing workaround. The earlier assessment also covered the operator security context, NetworkPolicy, and topology spread constraints, which support the upgraded operator.
The networking variant guard, stageCniPlugins, and Cilium pool helpers in the same _helpers.tpl file are not in the change summary. They appear to predate this PR. No unrelated change is demonstrated.
Minor items lack a stated link in the PR description: the cozy-lib dependency and removed icon in packages/apps/kafka/Chart.yaml, and the Grafana dashboard UID additions. These do not establish an out-of-scope change.

Quiesce existing Helm actions before rewriting release history.
An upgrade already in progress can retain a v1beta2 manifest in memory. Helm writes that release again when the action completes. Its Secret update replaces the encoded release, so it can overwrite this migration’s rewrite. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
If completion occurs after this final scan, migration still stamps 62. Once the CRDs serve only v1, the restored manifest blocks subsequent upgrades because Helm cannot build the previous release’s objects. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Prevent new old-chart actions and drain existing actions before rewriting history. A second scan alone does not establish that no writer remains.

Fixed in 6e3642e. Helm writes back the releases it read when an upgrade finishes, the new revision and the previous one as superseded, so an upgrade already running could restore v1beta2 after the final scan. The migration now refuses to stamp its version while any Kafka release revision is still pending, and the hook runs it again.
@lexfrei Thanks for the change. The pending check catches an upgrade after Helm creates its pending revision. One race remains before that point.
Helm 4.1.1 reads the current release before it creates the pending revision. If the migration rewrites the release and scans it during that interval, Line 496 can pass and stamp version 62. If the upgrade then completes while v1beta2 is still served, Helm can write the cached manifest back.
Please prevent new old-chart actions and drain in-flight actions before rewriting history. A test that pauses an upgrade between the release read and pending-revision creation would cover this case.
I’m not marking the finding as addressed yet.

Learning: Within repository "cozystack/cozystack", only for files matching one of ["packages/core/platform/images/migrations/migrations/61"]: In packages/core/platform/images/migrations/migrations/61, a Helm upgrade can read a Kafka release before the migration rewrites its v1beta2 manifest and later write the cached release as superseded, restoring the old manifest. When reviewing release-history rewriting in this migration, check that in-flight Helm actions cannot restore old manifests after the rewrite and final scan.

The window exists, but only for an upgrade that read its values before migration 61 moved the applications to v4.3. The old chart rejects v4.3 in values validation, and Helm runs that after the release read and before it creates the pending revision. Such an upgrade would also have to stay in that interval for the whole rewrite and scan. I'm leaving it as is. A real drain means suspending tenant HelmReleases from the migration, and a migration that dies before resuming them leaves those applications unmanaged.

CodeRabbit (@coderabbitai) Missing status now blocks the upgrade, including on already-v1 reruns (95653f5). Every Kafka must report kafkaMetadataVersion and Ready=True, and an explicit state other than KRaft blocks. The v1 conversion deletes kafkaMetadataState and can change the spec, and neither invalidates that evidence on a retry. The platform chart now runs the same check on every variant before it switches package sources (7190f3d).
For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@lexfrei I checked the reported changes at 7190f3dd1c62.
Migration 61 checks KRaft evidence on already-v1 reruns. It requires a metadata version and Ready=True, and rejects an explicit state other than KRaft.
The platform repository guard applies the same evidence check on all variants while v1beta2 is served. It does not check Kafka status once only v1 is served.
The added tests cover missing status and conversion retry behavior. I inspected the tests but did not run them. Please confirm they pass in CI.

Verdict
NOT LGTM
One introduced regression blocks: after this PR every Kafka restore target runs Kafka 4.x, and a topic-metadata backup taken before the upgrade cannot be restored if a topic carried a topic config that Kafka 4 removed. Separately, the upgrade path from v1.7 (conversion Job, CRD CreateReplace against storedVersions, the 3.9→4.3 roll) has not been run on a live cluster, and it is the only path existing Kafka installations take.
Findings
[MAJOR] packages/system/backupstrategy-controller/files/kafka-backup.sh:207, a pre-upgrade metadata backup fails to restore on Kafka 4.x
[MINOR] packages/core/platform/images/migrations/migrations/61:34, the documented manual run fails under the default /bin/sh of Debian/Ubuntu
[MINOR] packages/core/platform/templates/_helpers.tpl:311, the no-hook guard checks storedVersions only for kafkas.kafka.strimzi.io
[MINOR] packages/core/platform/templates/_helpers.tpl:349, the guard requires Ready=True even when the explicit state is KRaft
[MINOR] packages/apps/kafka/README.md:19, message.format.version in topics[].config is only documented, not enforced
Caveats
Not executed (needs a live cluster): the v1.7 → head upgrade with a ZK-migrated Kafka (the kafka pool) and with a fresh KRaft Kafka. CI E2E covers only a fresh install.
During the upgrade window, Kafka BackupJob/RestoreJob stay Running while kafka.strimzi.io/v1 is not yet served. The Kafka CR is read with Get only and there is no watch, so other strategies and manager start are unaffected. The NoKindMatch error requeues without hitting the run deadline, and the job recovers once v1 is served.
After conversion, Strimzi-created objects keep ownerReferences to */v1beta2 until Strimzi 1.2 reconciles or rolls them. Uninstalling a Kafka before that happens may leak dependents, and the pre-delete hook covers StrimziPodSets only.
Air-gapped installs: the conversion image is pulled from quay.io by digest, with no values override.
Migration 61 converts while the old operator is scaled to 0. Strimzi's conversion guide expects a running operator ≥0.49. The rationale given (0.45 writes v1beta2 managedFields) is plausible but has not been verified live.
Recommended follow-ups
Run the v1.7.x → this head upgrade on both Kafka shapes, then uninstall each one.
Add an e2e that restores a 3.x metadata backup into a 4.x Kafka.
Findings not anchored to changed lines
These reference code outside this PR's diff (unchanged files, or lines outside a hunk), so GitHub cannot render them inline.
[MAJOR] packages/system/backupstrategy-controller/files/kafka-backup.sh:207 a pre-upgrade metadata backup fails to restore on Kafka 4.x
Restore replays every recorded topic config with kafka-configs --alter --add-config under set -euo pipefail (line 2), with no skip list. Before this PR the restore target ran 3.8/3.9 and accepted keys such as message.format.version, message.timestamp.difference.max.ms and message.downconversion.enable. This PR moves every app to 4.3/4.2, and Kafka 4 rejects those keys. Running the real script with S3 stubbed, backup on apache/kafka:3.9.1, restore against apache/kafka:4.3.1 with the 4.3.1 CLI:
The run stops halfway through: the topic exists, some of its configs are applied, and every topic after it in the object is skipped. A rerun fails on the same line, so the backup cannot be restored without editing the S3 object by hand. Backups taken after the upgrade are fine, because an in-place 3.9→4.3 upgrade drops the removed keys from kafka-configs --describe. Skip (with a warning) the topic configs that Kafka 4 removed, or document that pre-upgrade backups need them stripped.

[MINOR] the documented manual run fails under the default /bin/sh of Debian/Ubuntu
The README says the script can run outside the image with kubectl/jq/gzip/base64. It is #!/bin/sh with set -euo pipefail, which dash rejects:
$ docker run --rm ubuntu:24.04 sh -c 'set -euo pipefail; echo ok'
sh: 1: set: Illegal option -o pipefail (rc=2)
It fails before any mutation, so it is safe, but the documented procedure for the default variant does not work as written. Use #!/bin/bash (the image ships bash, and migration 50 already does), or tell the README to run it with bash.

[MINOR] the no-hook guard checks storedVersions only for kafkas.kafka.strimzi.io
CreateReplace fails on any of the Strimzi CRDs that still store v1beta2, and crd-upgrade narrows them in an unspecified order (STRIMZI_KINDS is a Set.of(...)). A manual run that fails partway can therefore narrow kafkas but not kafkatopics. The guard then lets the upgrade through, and kafka-operator fails on the CRD replace after the old operator has been scaled to 0. Check every CRD in the migration's STRIMZI_CRDS.

The no-hook guard now checks every CRD from STRIMZI_CRDS and names the one still storing something other than v1. Added a case with only kafkatopics left on v1beta2.

[MINOR] the guard requires Ready=True even when the explicit state is KRaft
A single tenant Kafka that is already KRaft but NotReady (quota, pending PVC) blocks the platform upgrade for the whole cluster, and there is no override. The error text tells the operator to finish a KRaft migration, which does not apply to that case. An explicit KRaft state plus a metadata version proves KRaft before conversion. Recording that proof on the object as an annotation would let the post-conversion re-run accept it without Ready.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Done, with the annotation. KRaft is the final state in Strimzi's metadata state machine, so an explicit KRaft with a metadata version passes without Ready. Relaxing only that would break retries: the first run stops the operators and converts, the converter deletes the state, and the retry rejects the same NotReady Kafka. So migration 61 writes cozystack.io/kraft-verified: <kafkaMetadataVersion> on every Kafka it accepts before it stops the operators, and without a state the guard and the migration accept Ready=True or that annotation. The error now gives a reason per Kafka.
The operator behind this chart (Strimzi 1.x) runs neither ZooKeeper nor Kafka 3.x. A ZooKeeper-based instance must reach KRaft on the Cozystack release that ships the ZooKeeper to KRaft migration (v1.7) before the platform moves past it. On every platform variant, the platform upgrade refuses to switch package sources while Strimzi still serves `v1beta2` and any Kafka lacks confirmed KRaft state. On the variants that run platform migrations, migration 61 checks the same evidence again, including on a repeat run after API conversion. Every Kafka must report a nonempty `kafkaMetadataVersion` and `Ready=True`; an explicit `kafkaMetadataState` other than `KRaft`, a ZooKeeper section or a missing status blocks the upgrade. The API conversion deletes `kafkaMetadataState` and may change the spec, and neither invalidates that evidence on a retry. The migration also moves every instance on `v3.8` or `v3.9` to `v4.3`; Strimzi then rolls the brokers onto Kafka 4.3. Elsewhere those steps are manual, and the platform upgrade refuses to start while Strimzi still stores `v1beta2`: before upgrading the platform, run `/migrations/61` from this release's `platform-migrations` image with cluster-admin credentials. Outside that image the script, `packages/core/platform/images/migrations/migrations/61`, needs the `lib/` directory next to it and `kubectl`, `jq`, `gzip` and `base64`, plus `STRIMZI_CRD_FILE` pointing at `strimzi-crds-0.51.0.yaml` from the [Strimzi 0.51.0 release](https://github.com/strimzi/strimzi-kafka-operator/releases/tag/0.51.0).
Kafka 4 no longer accepts clients older than Kafka 2.1: upgrade such clients before the platform upgrade. Kafka 4 also removed the `message.format.version` topic setting: remove it from the `config` of every topic before the upgrade.

[MINOR]message.format.version in topics[].config is only documented, not enforced
The topics schema is free-form, so the key renders unchanged into the KafkaTopic, and Kafka 4 rejects it. The KafkaTopic goes NotReady while the HelmRelease stays Ready. Fail the render with a clear message, or strip the key in migration 61 alongside the version rewrite.

The chart now fails the render if a topic config sets any of the three keys Kafka 4 removed, with the topic and key in the message. The platform chart also refuses to start the upgrade while any Kafka application sets one of them and lists each app, topic and key, so an app can't end up on a failed HelmRelease after the upgrade. I didn't strip them in migration 61, it would edit user values.

Requesting changes for the [MAJOR] in my previous review (#4900 (review)): a Kafka topic-metadata backup taken before this upgrade can no longer be restored.
packages/system/backupstrategy-controller/files/kafka-backup.sh:207 replays every recorded topic config with kafka-configs --alter --add-config under set -euo pipefail. This PR moves every Kafka to 4.x, and Kafka 4 rejects topic configs it removed (message.format.version, message.timestamp.difference.max.ms, message.downconversion.enable), which a 3.x backup can contain. Backup on apache/kafka:3.9.1, restore with the real script against apache/kafka:4.3.1:
The restore stops halfway (topic created, configs partly applied, later topics skipped), and every rerun fails on the same line. Existing customers' pre-upgrade backups become unrestorable without hand-editing the S3 object.
To resolve: on restore, skip the topic configs Kafka 4 removed with a warning (or ignore InvalidConfigurationException for unknown keys), and cover it with a test that restores a 3.x-shaped metadata object into Kafka 4. The script is outside this diff, but the regression comes from this PR moving restore targets to 4.x, so the fix belongs here.
Andrey Kolkov (@androndo) Restore now skips message.format.version, message.downconversion.enable and message.timestamp.difference.max.ms with a warning and applies the rest of the object (69c7044). I took the list from the broker's topic config definitions at the release tags: these three are the only keys 3.8.x/3.9.x accept and 4.2.x/4.3.x reject. hack/kafka-backup-script.bats restores a 3.x-shaped object against a stub that rejects them like a 4.x broker. It failed on the old script and passes now. There is no e2e with a real 3.x backup restored into 4.x yet.
The caveats are in the PR body now as known limitations. No live run of the v1.7 upgrade, still.

Verdict
NOT LGTM
The previous round is resolved: restore skips the three removed topic configs (I re-ran a 3.x-shaped restore against apache/kafka:4.3.1, rc=0, and the three keys are exactly the topic configs present in 3.9.1 and absent in 4.3.1), the migration runs under bash, the guard checks every Strimzi CRD and accepts the migration's KRaft annotation, and topics.yaml refuses the removed keys.
One Kafka 4 change is still missing: the segment.bytes floor went up to 1 MiB (1048576). Kafka 3.x accepts values down to 14. Since this PR moves every 3.x app to 4.3, a topic below the new floor stops the upgraded broker from starting, and a metadata backup holding such a topic still cannot be restored.
Findings
[MAJOR] packages/core/platform/templates/_helpers.tpl:391, the upgrade guard and topics.yaml do not check segment.bytes below 1048576, and a Kafka 4.x broker refuses to start on such a log
[MAJOR] packages/system/backupstrategy-controller/files/kafka-backup.sh:203, restoring a 3.x backup still aborts halfway when a topic has segment.bytes < 1 MiB
[MINOR] packages/core/platform/images/migrations/migrations/61:367, the failure exits after the conversion Job leave its ClusterRole in place
Caveats
Not executed (needs a live cluster): the v1.7 → head upgrade with a ZK-migrated Kafka and with a fresh KRaft Kafka. CI E2E covers only a fresh install.
On the default variant the guard blocks a platform upgrade wherever Strimzi CRDs still store v1beta2, including clusters with zero Kafkas, until /migrations/61 is run by hand. This is the documented trade-off; it is worth calling out in the release notes.
Restore drops message.timestamp.difference.max.ms instead of translating it to message.timestamp.before.max.ms/after.max.ms; an in-place broker upgrade drops it the same way.

[MAJOR] the upgrade guard and topics.yaml do not check segment.bytes below 1048576, and a Kafka 4.x broker refuses to start on such a log
The guard and packages/apps/kafka/templates/topics.yaml check only the three removed keys. topics[].config is free-form, so a tenant can set segment.bytes: 524288 on 3.9, and migration 61 then moves the app to v4.3. A 3.9.1 broker whose log holds such a topic does not start on 4.3.1:
# 3.9.1 with log.dirs on a volume: kafka-topics --create --topic small --config segment.bytes=524288
# then the same volume under apache/kafka:4.3.1
$ docker ps -a --filter name=s43 --format '{{.Status}}'

Strimzi rolls the first broker, the broker crash-loops, and the roll stalls. A single-broker cluster goes down, and v4.2 is also 4.x, so moving back down is not an option. Please have the guard (and migration 61, which can also read KafkaTopic CRs for topics created outside the chart) refuse while a topic sets segment.bytes < 1048576, make topics.yaml fail on it the way it does for the removed keys, and add a guard test case with segment.bytes: 524288.

Fixed in 32d7f0f. The chart, the platform guard and migration 61 now refuse a segment.bytes below 1048576, and migration 61 also reads KafkaTopic resources, so topics created outside the chart are caught. I diffed the topic config validators of 3.9.1 against 4.2.x and 4.3.x, and segment.bytes is the only bound that got stricter. The new duplicate check on cleanup.policy is not a problem: a 3.9.1 topic with compact,compact starts fine on 4.3.1, and the broker drops the duplicate with a warning. The guard has a test with segment.bytes: 524288.

[MAJOR] restoring a 3.x backup still aborts halfway when a topic has segment.bytes < 1 MiB

[MINOR] the failure exits after the conversion Job leave its ClusterRole in place
The comment on remove_conversion_job says the ClusterRole (patch on CRDs, write on ConfigMaps everywhere), its binding and the ServiceAccount do not outlive the conversion "whichever path reaches here", but the exit 1 after a failed wait_for_conversion and after the stored_v1_only check skip it. Keeping the failed Job for diagnosis is reasonable. Either delete the RBAC objects on those paths, or narrow the comment.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 32d7f0f. After a failed Job, and after the stored-version check fails, the ClusterRole, binding and ServiceAccount are removed and the Job stays. One exception: if the wait times out while the Job is still running, they stay, because the Job's deadline is twice the wait so the retry can wait for the same Job. Taking its rights away would fail a slow conversion halfway. The comment now says this.

## What this PR does
The generated HelmReleases leave `spec.upgrade.crds` unset unless the
PackageSource sets `upgradeCRDs`, so helm-controller never replaces a
CRD that a chart ships in `crds/`. keycloak-operator and
foundationdb-operator ship their CRDs that way and set no policy. On a
v1.6.4 cluster that came through earlier releases, the CRDs of both
operators were older than the ones in the v1.6.4 charts. The v1.25.0
ClusterKeycloakRealm schema has no `spec.sessions`, `spec.login` or
`spec.organizationsEnabled`, so the apiserver dropped the session
settings keycloak-configure sets and the operator never applied them to
the realm. Keycloak also rejected the dashboard KeycloakClient with HTTP
400 on that cluster, and replacing the 17 CRDs from the charts and
restarting keycloak-operator cleared it.
This opts both PackageSources into `upgradeCRDs: CreateReplace`, the
policy mongodb-operator, redis-operator and velero already use, and pins
it with a platform test for each. The keycloak-operator change is not
purely additive. v1.32.0 drops the `realm`, `targetRealm` and
`keycloakOwner` fields that v1.25.0 marked deprecated and requires
`realmRef` and `keycloakRef` instead. Every Keycloak object the platform
renders already uses the refs, and each of the 14 CRDs keeps its single
version, so the replace loses nothing the platform relies on and drops
no stored version. A hand-made object that still uses a deprecated field
would lose it on its next write, and that write needs the ref. The
foundationdb-operator CRDs only add fields from v2.13.0 to v2.30.0, plus
a pattern on `perpetual_storage_wiggle_locality`, which the platform
does not set.
helm-controller applies the policy only when it upgrades a release, and
it upgrades only when the release artifact or its values change. A
PackageSource edit changes neither. The PR therefore also gives the
keycloak-operator package a helm-unittest suite, which pins the realm
fields keycloak-configure sets against the ClusterKeycloakRealm CRD the
chart ships and changes the keycloak-operator artifact, so the CRDs are
replaced on the upgrade that brings this change even where nothing else
in the package changes, as on a backport to release-1.6. The platform
release writes the new PackageSource in the same apply that moves
`cozystack-packages` to the new revision, so the policy should reach the
HelmRelease before the new keycloak-operator artifact does. The
foundationdb-operator package does not change here, so its CRDs are
replaced at the next change to that package, and main already carries
one since v1.6.5.
Objects written while the CRDs were stale get the pruned fields back
only when their chart applies them again. For the cozy realm that is the
next keycloak-configure upgrade. On main it comes with the same platform
upgrade, since keycloak-configure changed after v1.6.5, and its
HelmRelease depends on the keycloak-operator one through the oidc
variant. On a branch where keycloak-configure does not change, the realm
keeps its current session limits until it does or until that release is
forced to upgrade.
#4901 adds the same `upgradeCRDs: CreateReplace` to the
foundationdb-operator PackageSource as part of the FoundationDB backup
work, and it changes the foundationdb-operator package as well. The
foundationdb commit here is separate from the keycloak one and does not
depend on it, so it can be dropped if #4901 lands first.
The other packages that ship CRDs only in `crds/` and set no policy are
bootbox, clickhouse-operator, clustersecret-operator,
cozystack-scheduler, external-dns, grafana-operator, kafka-operator and
snapshot-controller. None of their CRDs changed since v1.0.0, or since
the package was added, apart from description text in external-dns, so
no cluster is behind on them today. kafka-operator gets CreateReplace
with the Strimzi move in #4900. gpu-operator replaces its CRDs with its
own pre-upgrade Job, and the remaining packages render their CRDs from
templates or leave them to an operator. Each of the eight will need the
same review and opt-in the next time its CRDs change.
`make -C packages/core/platform test` passes with 58 suites and 287
tests, and `make -C packages/system/keycloak-operator test` passes. With
either PackageSource reverted to main, its suite fails with `unknown
path spec.variants[0].components[0].install.upgradeCRDs`. With the
v1.25.0 ClusterKeycloakRealm CRD in the chart, the keycloak-operator
suite fails all four assertions. The full `hack/helm-unit-tests.sh`
sweep passes.

Two PackageSources under `packages/core/platform/sources/` gain an
install option, three test suites are new, and
`packages/system/keycloak-operator/Makefile` gains the same `test`
target other packages have. Platform `values.yaml`, variants, bundles,
CRDs, `hack/` and the installer are untouched. The website's
`development.md` does not describe per-package test targets, so the
Makefile change needs nothing there, and no website page documents a
manual CRD replace for these operators.
### Release note
```release-note
fix(keycloak, foundationdb): keycloak-operator and foundationdb-operator now replace their CRDs on upgrade. Clusters upgraded from before v1.2.0 kept the v1.25.0 keycloak-operator CRDs, under which the apiserver dropped the Keycloak realm session settings and Keycloak could reject the dashboard client, and clusters upgraded from before v1.6.0 kept the v2.13.0 foundationdb-operator CRDs.

Strimzi 1.0 removed v1beta2 from its CRDs, and the API server refuses
a CRD that drops a version its status still lists as stored. Every
stored object has to be rewritten as v1 before the new operator
arrives, which needs the CRDs of Strimzi 0.49 to 0.51 that serve both
versions and Strimzi's own conversion tool. The 0.45 operator is
stopped first: Strimzi supports the conversion only under an operator
that knows v1, and 0.45 keeps rewriting the Kafka status through
v1beta2. The conversion Job's ClusterRole can patch CRDs and write
ConfigMaps in every namespace, so it goes with its binding and
ServiceAccount once the Job has finished, successfully or not; a
failed Job stays for diagnosis, and a Job still running when the wait
times out keeps them, because the retry waits for that Job.
Two references to v1beta2 outlive the stored objects. Helm builds the
objects of a release before it upgrades or uninstalls it, so every
stored revision of every Kafka application is rewritten to v1. And the
API server refuses server-side apply to an object whose managedFields
still name a version the CRD no longer serves; when helm-controller
recovers by wiping them, a field a later chart drops is never removed.
Those entries move to v1 as well. A Helm action already running stores
the releases it read when it finishes, v1beta2 included, so the version
is not stamped while any Kafka release revision is still pending.
Strimzi 1.x also runs neither ZooKeeper nor Kafka 3.x. A ZooKeeper
cluster, or a shared broker pool still being drained, left by a
platform that moved past v1.7 before its ZooKeeper to KRaft migration
finished cannot be finished afterwards, so the migration stops
instead; Kafka applications on v3.8 or v3.9 move to v4.3. The
migration also stops, before it changes anything, while a Kafka
application topic or a KafkaTopic sets a config Kafka 4 removed or a
segment.bytes below the 1 MiB minimum of Kafka 4: the new kafka chart
refuses to render such a topic, and a Kafka 4 broker whose log holds
the small segment.bytes does not start.
The conversion deletes the Kafka's KRaft metadata state, and KRaft is
the state Strimzi never leaves. Before it stops the operators, the
migration records an annotation on every Kafka it accepts, so a retry
after the conversion still accepts a NotReady Kafka that passed on
its KRaft state.

Strimzi 1.2 serves only the v1 API and runs Kafka 4.2 and 4.3. The
node-pool hook no longer drives the ZooKeeper to KRaft migration or
the drain that freed the shared "kafka" pool name: Strimzi 1.x has no
ZooKeeper support, and the platform migration refuses to upgrade while
a ZooKeeper cluster is left. A cluster migrated earlier keeps its
"kafka" broker pool. Without the drain the hook takes seconds, so the
seven-hour install timeout goes too.
Kafka 4 rejects the topic configs it removed and a segment.bytes below
1 MiB, which Kafka 3.x accepted. A KafkaTopic that sets one stays
NotReady while the release reports Ready, so the chart refuses to
render such a topic.
BREAKING CHANGE: the Kafka application accepts version v4.3 (default)
and v4.2; v3.8 and v3.9 are gone, and the platform migration moves
existing applications to v4.3.

Strimzi 0.45 is out of upstream support. Strimzi 1.x serves only the
v1 API, so the release now replaces the CRDs on upgrade;
helm-controller's default of skipping CRD upgrades would leave the
v1beta2-only CRDs from the first install in place. Strimzi 1.x runs no
ZooKeeper, so the ZooKeeper alert group goes too.

The workaround passed MaxRAM and ActiveProcessorCount to every Strimzi
JVM because the JDK 17 in the 0.45 images could not see the container
limits on kernels without CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 (JDK-8347811). The Strimzi
1.2.0 images ship JDK 21.0.12, which carries the fix. On such a kernel,
with a 1Gi limit, Strimzi's heap probe in the Kafka image now
estimates a 495M maximum heap, where the 0.45.1-rc1 image estimated
13.9G.

On a cluster upgraded from Strimzi 0.x, deleting a Kafka application
leaves its brokers running. kube-controller-manager's garbage collector
first saw the StrimziPodSets under v1beta2 and never updates that
record, so once v1beta2 is no longer served it retries them forever
instead of deleting them, until kube-controller-manager restarts
(kubernetes/kubernetes#102641).
The pre-delete hook now deletes the release's StrimziPodSets after its
node pools, so uninstall no longer depends on garbage collection for
the brokers. An absent CRD is not a failure; any other error fails the
hook like the pool delete does, because Helm never runs it for the
release again.

Only the isp-* variants run the platform migration hook, so on the
default variant nothing checked the Kafka clusters before the new
kafka-operator chart arrived. helm-controller replaces that chart's
CRDs before Helm runs its pre-upgrade hooks, so a guard in the operator
chart would come too late.
The platform chart now refuses to render the cozystack-packages source
while Strimzi still serves v1beta2 and any Kafka lacks KRaft evidence,
with the same evidence rule as migration 61. The check stops once only
the v1 API is served, so a NotReady tenant Kafka cannot block platform
reconciles after the upgrade.
Without the migration hook the chart also refuses while any Strimzi CRD
still stores v1beta2: the API server would reject the v1-only CRDs of
Strimzi 1.2, and the new kafka chart rejects the Kafka 3.x versions that
the migration moves. With the hook the check would block the migration
that narrows the stored versions in the same upgrade.
While v1beta2 is served the chart also refuses while a Kafka
application sets a topic config Kafka 4 removed or a segment.bytes
below the 1 MiB minimum of Kafka 4. The new kafka chart refuses to
render such a topic, which would leave that application on its
pre-upgrade spec, and a Kafka 4 broker whose log holds the small
segment.bytes does not start.

Kafka 4 raised it to from 14 bytes. A 4.x broker rejects each of them,
so the restore stopped at the first one, leaving that topic
half-configured and every later topic unrestored, and a rerun failed
on the same line.

segment.bytes to the minimum, each with a warning, and applies the

What this PR does
This upgrades the Kafka operator to Strimzi 1.2.0. Kafka 4.3 is the application default, with 4.2 also available. Upgrades must pass through Cozystack v1.7 and finish the ZooKeeper-to-KRaft migration first.
The upgrade now stops while any Kafka lacks KRaft evidence. Every Kafka must report a nonempty
kafkaMetadataVersionand theKRaftmetadata state. The API conversion deletes that state, so without it a Kafka needsReady=Trueor thecozystack.io/kraft-verifiedannotation, which migration 61 writes on every Kafka it accepts before it stops the operators. Any other explicit state blocks, and the error gives the reason for each Kafka. On every variant, the platform chart refuses to switch package sources while Strimzi still servesv1beta2and a Kafka fails that check. On variants without the migration hook, it also refuses while any Strimzi CRD still storesv1beta2, so/migrations/61has to run first. Migration 61 checks the same evidence again, including on repeat runs, and blocks unfinished broker-pool drains. A manual change that bypasses the managed package source is outside this check.Existing Kafka 3.x applications move to v4.3. Kafka 4 no longer accepts clients older than Kafka 2.1. Kafka 4 also rejects the topic settings
message.format.version,message.downconversion.enableandmessage.timestamp.difference.max.ms, and asegment.bytesbelow 1 MiB (1048576), which Kafka 3.x accepted down to 14 bytes. A Kafka 4 broker whose log holds such a topic does not start. The chart now refuses to render a topic that sets any of these. The platform upgrade refuses to start while a Kafka application sets one, and migration 61 also checks KafkaTopic resources, so topics created outside the chart are caught too. A topic created through the Kafka admin API without a KafkaTopic is not visible to these checks. Restoring a topic-metadata backup taken on Kafka 3.x skips the three removed settings and raises a smallersegment.bytesto 1 MiB, with a warning for each. In-place downgrades are unsupported. The default 10-minute Helm timeout can leave a long broker roll Failed until its retry succeeds.The migration does not run automatically on every platform variant. Only the
isp-*variants run it automatically. On other variants, run/migrations/61from the matching migrations image before upgrading, as the Kafka README describes. The migration converts Strimzi resources and stored Helm references tov1. It stamps platform version 62. Running it manually also skips earlier migrations on a later move to anisp-*variant. A failed conversion can leave the old operators stopped until the migration succeeds and the operator release upgrades. The failed conversion Job stays for diagnosis, but its ClusterRole, binding and ServiceAccount are removed. A Job that is still running when the wait times out keeps them, because the retry waits for it.Known limitations. Migration 61 converts with the old operator stopped, while Strimzi's conversion guide expects a running operator of 0.49 or later. I stop it because 0.45 keeps writing the Kafka status through
v1beta2, but I have not checked this on a live cluster. Objects Strimzi created keepownerReferencestov1beta2until Strimzi 1.2 reconciles them. Deleting a Kafka before that can leave dependents behind, and the chart's pre-delete hook covers only StrimziPodSets. The conversion image is pulled from quay.io by digest with no values override, so an air-gapped cluster has to mirror it under the same name.The full offline unit run passed on Linux on
1171d63adfafb45be34214fb9a0f565723e255fd: 2,576 cases, no failures, errors or skipped tests. Later changes were checked on69c704499fa4with the Bats tests for migration 61, the migration runner, the Kafka hooks and the Kafka backup scripts (102), the platform Helm suite (310 tests) and the Kafka Helm suite (91 tests). The current head32d7f0f9f938passed the same Bats tests (110) and the platform and Kafka Helm suites (312 and 94 tests). I have not validated this revision on a live cluster.Closes #4365
