fix(redis, valkey, harbor): spread sentinels and data pods over nodes - #4990
The RedisFailovers rendered by the redis and valkey apps and by the Harbor system chart set no placement, so the operator applies its default, a preferred pod anti-affinity on kubernetes.io/hostname (generator.go#L795-L816, the same in spotahome v1.3.0-rc1 that release-1.6 ships). A preference only decides where a pod starts. A sentinel evicted by a drain is recreated while both other nodes already run one, and a rollout of the sentinel Deployment adds each new sentinel before it removes an old one, so either can leave two sentinels on one node, and nothing moves them back.
Seen on a three-node cluster running v1.6.4 and on clusters running v1.6.5. A tenant Redis with three replicas had its three Redis pods on three nodes and two of its three sentinels on one node, and Harbor's Redis had two of its three sentinels on one node too. Losing that node leaves one sentinel, below the quorum of two, so no failover can happen while it is down. The operator does not step in either, because it skips its checks while a pod of the instance is Pending or terminating (checker.go#L101-L111), and the pods of a lost node stay terminating, so if the master was on that node the instance has no master until the node is back.
This PR gives the sentinels and the data pods a spread with maxSkew: 1 on kubernetes.io/hostname, whenUnsatisfiable: DoNotSchedule and nodeTaintsPolicy: Ignore, the default #4986 proposes for tenant etcd. The selector is the app.kubernetes.io/name and app.kubernetes.io/component pair the operator puts on every pod, without redisfailovers-role, which the operator switches between master and slave at runtime. No affinity is set, so the operator's anti-affinity stays. When _cluster.scheduling.globalAppTopologySpreadConstraints is set it replaces the default, and the selector is added to each of its constraints that has none, as the keycloak chart does for its database constraints. The etcd and postgres charts add it under the last constraint only, and a constraint without a selector counts no pods (helpers.go#L36-L39), so with a zone and a node constraint the zone one would spread nothing. A policy that does not parse or has no non-empty topologySpreadConstraints list fails the render.
The sentinels get a hard constraint because of the quorum. A sentinel that waits Pending while its node is away leaves two sentinels on two nodes, which still form the quorum, while two sentinels on one node turn the loss of that node into a lost quorum. With Ignore a cordoned node still counts, so an evicted sentinel waits for its node instead of starting next to another one. The data pods get the same constraint because on a node-local StorageClass a pod that starts next to another one stays there with its volume. An instance with more pods than nodes still starts, because the skew is counted between the nodes that exist (filtering.go#L338-L356).
The sentinel constraint also has matchLabelKeys: [pod-template-hash]. The operator sets no strategy on the sentinel Deployment (generator.go#L546-L551), so a rollout of three sentinels adds one new pod at a time while the old ones run. Counted together with the old pods, a new sentinel can start on a node that already has another new one, and that pair stays once the old pods are gone. With the key, new pods are counted only against each other (common.go#L95-L105), and the ReplicaSet removes old pods that share a node with another pod first (replica_set.go#L863-L878, controller_utils.go#L859-L865), so a rollout on three or more nodes ends with one sentinel per node. matchLabelKeys is beta and on by default since Kubernetes 1.27 (kube_features.go#L1502-L1505). The RedisFailover CRD on main has both fields, and the redis-operator package replaces the CRD on upgrade.
On upgrade the operator writes the StatefulSet and the sentinel Deployment in the same pass (ensurer.go#L49-L57). The Deployment controller rolls the sentinels one at a time and removes an old one only after its replacement is ready, so three sentinels stay available. The StatefulSet uses OnDelete (generator.go#L376-L379) and the operator replaces its pods itself (checker.go#L14-L83). It waits while any Redis or sentinel pod is Pending or terminating (check.go#L547-L559) or a replica is not in sync, so the Redis pods are normally replaced after the sentinel rollout, one outdated replica per pass and the master last. The master's preStop hook asks the sentinels to fail over before the pod stops (generator.go#L263-L267), so an instance with replicas goes through one failover during the upgrade, and a single-pod instance restarts its pod. The charts do not set disableMasterRollout. The Cozystack patches to the operator do not change any of this.
This has two costs. With Ignore a node the pods can never run on, such as a tainted control plane, counts as an empty node, so on such a cluster each usable node takes one pod at most and the rest stay Pending, and for Redis a Pending pod also stops the operator's checks for the instance, including the choice of the first master of a new one. And data pods that already share a node on a node-local volume cannot be separated by a reschedule. The replica the operator recreates there during the rollout cannot be placed, the rollout stops before the master, and the instance runs one replica short, with the operator's checks stopped, until that replica's volume is recreated on another node. On storage that attaches from any node the recreated replica moves to a free node instead. A platform that wants the old behaviour can set scheduling.globalAppTopologySpreadConstraints to ScheduleAnyway, which the other charts that read it pick up too.
#4880 adds a zone spread to the same two blocks of Harbor's RedisFailover and leaves the per-node part to the operator's anti-affinity, so whichever of the two lands second has to merge them. #2665 adds affinity values to the redis app, which would replace the operator's anti-affinity and do not touch the spread. The valkey app had no test target, so this PR adds the same three lines as #4346.
New suites packages/apps/redis/tests/topology_spread_test.yaml, packages/apps/valkey/tests/topology_spread_test.yaml and packages/system/harbor/tests/redis_spread_test.yaml pin both default constraints, that no affinity is rendered, that a cluster-wide policy renders in place of the default with the selector added to every constraint that has none, that a selector the policy sets itself is kept, and that a malformed policy fails the render. Against the templates on main every new case fails, 9 for redis, 5 for valkey and 5 for Harbor, and against the first commit the 12 cases the second commit adds fail. Each of 21 mutations fails at least one case. In the default constraints they are ScheduleAnyway or no matchLabelKeys for the sentinels, Honor or redisfailovers-role in the selector for the data pods, maxSkew: 2 in valkey and the Harbor sentinel selector set to redis. In the cluster-wide branch they are the policy ignored, nodeTaintsPolicy added to it, the selector added to no constraint, a selector the policy sets overwritten, the sentinel selector set to redis, the Harbor name without its -redis suffix, the policy check dropped or reduced to the empty list, and the parse error left out of the message.
On main the redis chart has 68 tests in 5 suites and Harbor 9 in 2. With the render fixtures helm template of the three charts differs from main only in the added constraints, apart from the values they generate on every render. I have not rolled this out on a cluster, and the scheduling was not exercised against a running kube-scheduler.
The files are the same on release-1.7. release-1.6 ships spotahome v1.3.0-rc1, whose CRD has neither nodeTaintsPolicy nor matchLabelKeys and is not replaced on upgrade, so its backport is a separate PR without those two fields.

fix(redis, valkey, harbor): the sentinels and the data pods of Redis, Valkey and Harbor's Redis now spread over nodes with whenUnsatisfiable DoNotSchedule by default, so a drain or a sentinel rollout no longer leaves two of the three sentinels on one node. On upgrade the operator rolls the sentinels and the data pods of every instance once, with one failover when the master is replaced. Data pods that already share a node on a node-local volume stay there, and the replica recreated on that node waits Pending until its volume is moved.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added support for configuring topology spread constraints across Redis, Valkey, Sentinel, and Harbor Redis workloads.
By default, pods are spread across hostnames with workload-specific selectors.
Custom constraints apply to Redis and Sentinel pods. Existing selectors are preserved; component-specific selectors are added when none is provided.
Bug Fixes
Invalid or empty topology spread configurations now fail validation during rendering.
The RedisFailover charts left placement to the operator's default
preferred pod anti-affinity. A preference only decides where a pod
starts, so a drain or a rollout of the sentinel Deployment can leave
two of the three sentinels on one node, and nothing moves them back.
Losing that node leaves one sentinel, below the quorum of two, so no
failover can happen while it is down. On a node-local StorageClass a
data pod that starts next to another one stays there for good.
Both now get a hostname spread with whenUnsatisfiable DoNotSchedule and
maxSkew 1. An instance with more pods than nodes still starts, because
the skew is counted between the nodes that exist. nodeTaintsPolicy is
Ignore, so a cordoned node still counts and a pod waits for it instead
of starting next to another one. The sentinel constraint also matches
on pod-template-hash, because a rollout adds each new sentinel while
the old ones still run, and counting those would let two new sentinels
share a node once the old ones are gone.
A cluster-wide globalAppTopologySpreadConstraints replaces the default,
as in the other charts that read it.

Walkthrough
Redis, Valkey, and Harbor templates now validate and apply global topology spread constraints to Sentinel and Redis pods. When no policy is configured, the templates render hostname-based defaults. Helm tests cover default and configured policies, selector handling, and validation.
Changes: Redis workload topology spread
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Configured and default spread policies packages/apps/redis/templates/redisfailover.yaml, packages/apps/valkey/templates/valkeyfailover.yaml, packages/system/harbor/templates/redis.yaml
Each template validates the global policy, applies configured constraints with component-specific selectors, or renders hostname-based defaults. Sentinel defaults include pod-template-hash matching.
Helm tests cover default and configured constraints, selector preservation and injection, and invalid policies. The Valkey Makefile adds a test target that runs Helm unit tests.
A configured spread policy can stall Sentinel upgrades on clusters with unusable nodes. Default revision-specific spreading also retains a narrow failover vulnerability during concurrent rollout and node failures. Resolve or explicitly accept these scheduling risks before merging.

… constraint
A globalAppTopologySpreadConstraints policy can hold several
constraints, one per zone and one per node for example. The selector
was added under the last one only, and kube-scheduler counts no pods
for a constraint without a selector, so the earlier constraints did not
spread these pods at all. A last constraint with a selector of its own
got a second labelSelector key, which a strict YAML parser rejects and
Helm resolves to the chart's selector, dropping the policy's.
Each constraint without a selector now gets the one of its component,
and a constraint with its own keeps it, the rule the keycloak chart
already applies to its database constraints. The policy is parsed up
front, so one that does not parse or holds no non-empty
topologySpreadConstraints list fails the render with a message. Before,
such a policy failed only because the appended selector broke the YAML,
and a map in place of the list rendered without an error.

## What this PR does
The chart pins `spec.sentinel.replicas: 3` whatever `replicas` says, so
an instance created with `replicas: 1` runs one Redis pod and three
Sentinel pods that have nothing to fail over to. This makes the Sentinel
count follow the data pods: one Sentinel when `replicas` is 1, three
otherwise.
The operator cannot run zero Sentinels (freshworks `Validate()` resets
`sentinel.replicas <= 0` to 3), and it needs at least one to locate the
master. With one Sentinel its quorum is `replicas/2+1` = 1, so the
single Sentinel works on its own.
The operator also gives the Sentinel Deployment a PodDisruptionBudget
with `minAvailable: 1` whenever Redis has two replicas or fewer
(`ensurePodDisruptionBudget` in
`operator/redisfailover/service/client.go`). On a single Sentinel that
budget refuses every eviction and would block node drains, so the chart
sets `sentinel.disablePodDisruptionBudget: true` in that case only. The
Sentinel `WorkloadMonitor` now expects the rendered count instead of a
fixed 3/2.
The operator only stops ensuring that PDB once the flag is set; it never
deletes the one it created while three Sentinels ran
(`EnsureSentinelDeployment` in freshworks v3.3.5). An existing instance
scaled to one replica would keep it, so
`templates/hooks/sentinel-pdb.yaml` adds a post-upgrade hook that
deletes `rfs-<release>`, with a Role scoped to that one name. It renders
on upgrade only, since a fresh one-replica install never gets that PDB.
From `replicas: 2` up nothing changes. Scaling an existing instance
between 1 and 2 replicas scales the Sentinel Deployment between 1 and 3
accordingly.
Not in scope: with `replicas: 1` the Redis data pod keeps its own
operator PDB (`minAvailable: 1`), which already blocks drains of its
node today; that is unchanged here.
Tests: `tests/sentinel_replicas_test.yaml` covers 1, 2, 3 and the
default, the PDB switch, and the `WorkloadMonitor`. Three of its cases
fail on `main` without the template change.
`tests/sentinel_pdb_hook_test.yaml` covers the hook. `helm unittest
packages/apps/redis`: 79 passed. Open PR #4990 also edits
`redisfailover.yaml` (Sentinel spreading); the two touch different keys.
Backport: `release-1.7` ships the same freshworks operator and CRD, so
`kind/backport` applies. `release-1.6` is not backportable as is: it
still runs spotahome `v1.3.0-rc1`, whose vendored CRD (chart 3.3.0) does
not declare `sentinel.disablePodDisruptionBudget`, and the operator's
CRDs are installed with Flux's default `crds: Create` policy, so they
are never updated on an existing cluster. The API server would prune the
field and the single Sentinel would keep a `minAvailable: 1` PDB that
blocks node drains. A 1.6 fix would need a CRD update path first.

### Downstream repositories
<!--
Cozystack is upstream for repositories that are NOT kept in sync with it
automatically, and nothing in CI compares the two sides, so a change
here can break them silently.
Which change forces what, and which file to touch, is the trigger map in
docs/agents/contributing.md under "Downstream Repositories". Walk it
before you tick anything.
IF YOU ARE AN AI AGENT OR AN LLM, THIS IS PART OF THE TASK, NOT A FORM
TO FILL IN:
1. Walk the trigger map against the actual diff of this PR, file by
file. Do not decide from the PR title or from your memory of what you
changed.
2. For every repository you tick, open the follow-up PR there and link
it on the same line. A ticked box with no link claims work that does not
exist, which is worse than an empty box. Search that repository for an
open PR or issue covering it first, and link that instead of filing a
duplicate.
3. When the follow-up is out of scope, or needs a decision that is not
yours to make, open an issue in that repository instead, link that, and
say so in the PR body. Do not push a speculative PR into another
repository just to fill a line here.
4. Do not tick "No downstream repository is affected" to make the
checklist go away. If you are unsure, leave every box empty and say so
in the PR body, so a human decides.

corresponding Redis constraint.

Review comments at @packages/apps/valkey/templates/valkeyfailover.yaml:
- Line 45: Update both Valkey affinity projections so a null labelSelector uses
the component selector, while preserving every non-null selector, including {}.
Apply the same null-aware fallback in each projection rather than relying on key
presence alone.
- Around line 53-54: Update the `matchLabelKeys` spread constraint so node
placement accounts for Sentinel pods from both rollout revisions, rather than
excluding older pods by `pod-template-hash`. Preserve rollout progress by
ensuring the revised constraint does not prevent replacement pods from
scheduling.
Review comments at @packages/system/harbor/templates/redis.yaml:
- Line 41: Update both Redis and Sentinel topology-spread constraint projections
so a null labelSelector is replaced with the component-specific matchLabels
selector, while existing non-null selectors—including empty maps—are preserved.
Do not use key presence alone to decide whether to retain the selector.
- Around line 49-50: Update the Sentinel topology spread policy so it counts
pods from both the old and new revisions, preventing them from sharing a node,
while still allowing surge pods to schedule during rollout when all three nodes
are occupied. Preserve rollout progress; do not simply remove pod-template-hash
from matchLabelKeys without addressing the resulting placement constraint.

Spread Sentinels across revisions during rollouts.
If an old Sentinel is evicted during a rollout, the revision-specific constraint can place its replacement beside another old Sentinel. A subsequent node failure can leave only one Sentinel and prevent failover until quorum recovers. Account for both revisions when placing Sentinels, while preserving rollout progress.

A null selector matches no pods, so the configured policy cannot spread
siblings. Treat it as unset while preserving explicit selectors.

Preserve sentinel revision separation with global policies.
With maxSkew: 1, three occupied nodes, and an empty tainted node, a configured hostname policy without matchLabelKeys can block the surge sentinel and stall the rollout. Provide a way to retain revision separation for sentinel constraints when applying a global policy.

## What this PR does
The chart pins `spec.sentinel.replicas: 3` whatever `replicas` says, so
an instance created with `replicas: 1` runs one Redis pod and three
Sentinel pods that have nothing to fail over to. This makes the Sentinel
count follow the data pods: one Sentinel when `replicas` is 1, three
otherwise.
The operator cannot run zero Sentinels (freshworks `Validate()` resets
`sentinel.replicas <= 0` to 3), and it needs at least one to locate the
master. With one Sentinel its quorum is `replicas/2+1` = 1, so the
single Sentinel works on its own.
The operator also gives the Sentinel Deployment a PodDisruptionBudget
with `minAvailable: 1` whenever Redis has two replicas or fewer
(`ensurePodDisruptionBudget` in
`operator/redisfailover/service/client.go`). On a single Sentinel that
budget refuses every eviction and would block node drains, so the chart
sets `sentinel.disablePodDisruptionBudget: true` in that case only. The
Sentinel `WorkloadMonitor` now expects the rendered count instead of a
fixed 3/2.
The operator only stops ensuring that PDB once the flag is set; it never
deletes the one it created while three Sentinels ran
(`EnsureSentinelDeployment` in freshworks v3.3.5). An existing instance
scaled to one replica would keep it, so
`templates/hooks/sentinel-pdb.yaml` adds a post-upgrade hook that
deletes `rfs-<release>`, with a Role scoped to that one name. It renders
on upgrade only, since a fresh one-replica install never gets that PDB.
From `replicas: 2` up nothing changes. Scaling an existing instance
between 1 and 2 replicas scales the Sentinel Deployment between 1 and 3
accordingly.
Not in scope: with `replicas: 1` the Redis data pod keeps its own
operator PDB (`minAvailable: 1`), which already blocks drains of its
node today; that is unchanged here.
Tests: `tests/sentinel_replicas_test.yaml` covers 1, 2, 3 and the
default, the PDB switch, and the `WorkloadMonitor`. Three of its cases
fail on `main` without the template change.
`tests/sentinel_pdb_hook_test.yaml` covers the hook. `helm unittest
packages/apps/redis`: 79 passed. Open PR #4990 also edits
`redisfailover.yaml` (Sentinel spreading); the two touch different keys.
Backport: `release-1.7` ships the same freshworks operator and CRD, so
`kind/backport` applies. `release-1.6` is not backportable as is: it
still runs spotahome `v1.3.0-rc1`, whose vendored CRD (chart 3.3.0) does
not declare `sentinel.disablePodDisruptionBudget`, and the operator's
CRDs are installed with Flux's default `crds: Create` policy, so they
are never updated on an existing cluster. The API server would prune the
field and the single Sentinel would keep a `minAvailable: 1` PDB that
blocks node drains. A 1.6 fix would need a CRD update path first.
### Screenshots
<!-- REQUIRED for UI changes: attach screenshots or screen recordings
demonstrating
the visual impact of your changes. PRs with UI changes without
screenshots will not be merged. -->
### Downstream repositories
<!--
Cozystack is upstream for repositories that are NOT kept in sync with it
automatically, and nothing in CI compares the two sides, so a change
here can break them silently.
Which change forces what, and which file to touch, is the trigger map in
docs/agents/contributing.md under "Downstream Repositories". Walk it
before you tick anything.
IF YOU ARE AN AI AGENT OR AN LLM, THIS IS PART OF THE TASK, NOT A FORM
TO FILL IN:
1. Walk the trigger map against the actual diff of this PR, file by
file. Do not decide from the PR title or from your memory of what you
changed.
2. For every repository you tick, open the follow-up PR there and link
it on the same line. A ticked box with no link claims work that does not
exist, which is worse than an empty box. Search that repository for an
open PR or issue covering it first, and link that instead of filing a
duplicate.
3. When the follow-up is out of scope, or needs a decision that is not
yours to make, open an issue in that repository instead, link that, and
say so in the PR body. Do not push a speculative PR into another
repository just to fill a line here.
4. Do not tick "No downstream repository is affected" to make the
checklist go away. If you are unsure, leave every box empty and say so
in the PR body, so a human decides.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Redis deployments configured with one replica now use one Sentinel;
other replica settings continue to use three.
* Workload monitoring now reflects the configured Sentinel count. When
changing to one replica, upgrades remove the Sentinel
PodDisruptionBudget.
* **Documentation**
* Updated Redis configuration guidance to explain how Sentinel count
varies with the replica setting and clarify Sentinel resource defaults.

europrinter (@yankawai) The code is fine; the release note needs one more case before merge.
With nodeTaintsPolicy: Ignore, a node the pods can't tolerate (a tainted control plane, say) counts as empty, so on a cluster with fewer usable nodes than sentinels the last sentinel stays Pending. While any pod is Pending the operator skips all its checks (checker.go#L101-L111): a new instance never gets a master, and an upgrade stalls mid-rollout. Please add to the release note, as #4986 does for etcd: this case, the opt-out (scheduling.globalAppTopologySpreadConstraints with ScheduleAnyway, set before upgrading), and the concrete steps to get a stranded replica running, since "until its volume is moved" doesn't say how.
Optional: the 902051e message says "an instance with more pods than nodes still starts", which is false on such a cluster; qualify it if you rewrite the branch.

What this PR does
The RedisFailovers rendered by the
redisandvalkeyapps and by the Harbor system chart set no placement, so the operator applies its default, a preferred pod anti-affinity onkubernetes.io/hostname(generator.go#L795-L816, the same in spotahome v1.3.0-rc1 that release-1.6 ships). A preference only decides where a pod starts. A sentinel evicted by a drain is recreated while both other nodes already run one, and a rollout of the sentinel Deployment adds each new sentinel before it removes an old one, so either can leave two sentinels on one node, and nothing moves them back.Seen on a three-node cluster running v1.6.4 and on clusters running v1.6.5. A tenant Redis with three replicas had its three Redis pods on three nodes and two of its three sentinels on one node, and Harbor's Redis had two of its three sentinels on one node too. Losing that node leaves one sentinel, below the quorum of two, so no failover can happen while it is down. The operator does not step in either, because it skips its checks while a pod of the instance is Pending or terminating (checker.go#L101-L111), and the pods of a lost node stay terminating, so if the master was on that node the instance has no master until the node is back.
This PR gives the sentinels and the data pods a spread with
maxSkew: 1onkubernetes.io/hostname,whenUnsatisfiable: DoNotScheduleandnodeTaintsPolicy: Ignore, the default #4986 proposes for tenant etcd. The selector is theapp.kubernetes.io/nameandapp.kubernetes.io/componentpair the operator puts on every pod, withoutredisfailovers-role, which the operator switches betweenmasterandslaveat runtime. Noaffinityis set, so the operator's anti-affinity stays. When_cluster.scheduling.globalAppTopologySpreadConstraintsis set it replaces the default, and the selector is added to each of its constraints that has none, as the keycloak chart does for its database constraints. The etcd and postgres charts add it under the last constraint only, and a constraint without a selector counts no pods (helpers.go#L36-L39), so with a zone and a node constraint the zone one would spread nothing. A policy that does not parse or has no non-emptytopologySpreadConstraintslist fails the render.The sentinels get a hard constraint because of the quorum. A sentinel that waits Pending while its node is away leaves two sentinels on two nodes, which still form the quorum, while two sentinels on one node turn the loss of that node into a lost quorum. With
Ignorea cordoned node still counts, so an evicted sentinel waits for its node instead of starting next to another one. The data pods get the same constraint because on a node-local StorageClass a pod that starts next to another one stays there with its volume. An instance with more pods than nodes still starts, because the skew is counted between the nodes that exist (filtering.go#L338-L356).The sentinel constraint also has
matchLabelKeys: [pod-template-hash]. The operator sets no strategy on the sentinel Deployment (generator.go#L546-L551), so a rollout of three sentinels adds one new pod at a time while the old ones run. Counted together with the old pods, a new sentinel can start on a node that already has another new one, and that pair stays once the old pods are gone. With the key, new pods are counted only against each other (common.go#L95-L105), and the ReplicaSet removes old pods that share a node with another pod first (replica_set.go#L863-L878, controller_utils.go#L859-L865), so a rollout on three or more nodes ends with one sentinel per node.matchLabelKeysis beta and on by default since Kubernetes 1.27 (kube_features.go#L1502-L1505). The RedisFailover CRD on main has both fields, and the redis-operator package replaces the CRD on upgrade.On upgrade the operator writes the StatefulSet and the sentinel Deployment in the same pass (ensurer.go#L49-L57). The Deployment controller rolls the sentinels one at a time and removes an old one only after its replacement is ready, so three sentinels stay available. The StatefulSet uses
OnDelete(generator.go#L376-L379) and the operator replaces its pods itself (checker.go#L14-L83). It waits while any Redis or sentinel pod is Pending or terminating (check.go#L547-L559) or a replica is not in sync, so the Redis pods are normally replaced after the sentinel rollout, one outdated replica per pass and the master last. The master's preStop hook asks the sentinels to fail over before the pod stops (generator.go#L263-L267), so an instance with replicas goes through one failover during the upgrade, and a single-pod instance restarts its pod. The charts do not setdisableMasterRollout. The Cozystack patches to the operator do not change any of this.This has two costs. With
Ignorea node the pods can never run on, such as a tainted control plane, counts as an empty node, so on such a cluster each usable node takes one pod at most and the rest stay Pending, and for Redis a Pending pod also stops the operator's checks for the instance, including the choice of the first master of a new one. And data pods that already share a node on a node-local volume cannot be separated by a reschedule. The replica the operator recreates there during the rollout cannot be placed, the rollout stops before the master, and the instance runs one replica short, with the operator's checks stopped, until that replica's volume is recreated on another node. On storage that attaches from any node the recreated replica moves to a free node instead. A platform that wants the old behaviour can setscheduling.globalAppTopologySpreadConstraintstoScheduleAnyway, which the other charts that read it pick up too.#4880 adds a zone spread to the same two blocks of Harbor's RedisFailover and leaves the per-node part to the operator's anti-affinity, so whichever of the two lands second has to merge them. #2665 adds
affinityvalues to the redis app, which would replace the operator's anti-affinity and do not touch the spread. The valkey app had notesttarget, so this PR adds the same three lines as #4346.New suites
packages/apps/redis/tests/topology_spread_test.yaml,packages/apps/valkey/tests/topology_spread_test.yamlandpackages/system/harbor/tests/redis_spread_test.yamlpin both default constraints, that noaffinityis rendered, that a cluster-wide policy renders in place of the default with the selector added to every constraint that has none, that a selector the policy sets itself is kept, and that a malformed policy fails the render. Against the templates on main every new case fails, 9 for redis, 5 for valkey and 5 for Harbor, and against the first commit the 12 cases the second commit adds fail. Each of 21 mutations fails at least one case. In the default constraints they areScheduleAnywayor nomatchLabelKeysfor the sentinels,Honororredisfailovers-rolein the selector for the data pods,maxSkew: 2in valkey and the Harbor sentinel selector set toredis. In the cluster-wide branch they are the policy ignored,nodeTaintsPolicyadded to it, the selector added to no constraint, a selector the policy sets overwritten, the sentinel selector set toredis, the Harbor name without its-redissuffix, the policy check dropped or reduced to the empty list, and the parse error left out of the message.On main the redis chart has 68 tests in 5 suites and Harbor 9 in 2. With the render fixtures
helm templateof the three charts differs from main only in the added constraints, apart from the values they generate on every render. I have not rolled this out on a cluster, and the scheduling was not exercised against a running kube-scheduler.The files are the same on release-1.7. release-1.6 ships spotahome v1.3.0-rc1, whose CRD has neither
nodeTaintsPolicynormatchLabelKeysand is not replaced on upgrade, so its backport is a separate PR without those two fields.Screenshots
Not a UI change.
