fix(kubernetes): bring up a replacement worker before draining the old one - #5153
Worker pool MachineDeployments roll out with maxUnavailable: 1. CAPI therefore drains and deletes an old Machine as soon as its replacement Machine has been created, not once the replacement has joined. Observed on a one-node pool changing instance type (s1.large to s1.medium): the new Machine was created at 13:07:19, the old node was drained and deleted 17 s later, and the new node was Ready around 13:11, so the pool had no node for about four minutes. Larger pools lose one node of capacity at every step of the rollout for the same reason.
This sets maxUnavailable: 0, so a node is drained only once its replacement is up. maxSurge stays at the pool ceiling (maxReplicas), with a floor of 1: CAPI rejects a RollingUpdate where both values are 0, and maxReplicas: 0 is accepted by the schema.
Exception: a pool with gpus keeps maxUnavailable: 1. Its replacement VM may need the very passed-through GPU the old node holds, and with maxUnavailable: 0 it would stay Pending and the rollout would never finish. A Proxmox pool that passes GPUs through its template carries no gpus value, so the chart cannot recognise it: the new optional maxUnavailable value lets such a pool (or any pool) set the strategy explicitly, and set to 1 restores the drain-first behaviour.
The value is bounded to 0..2147483647, since CAPI decodes it as an int32. ComputePlane pools render through the same chart, so packages/extra/computeplane exposes nodeGroups.<pool>.maxUnavailable and its allowlist forwards it.
Trade-off: a rollout now needs room for at least one extra VM. A tenant at its quota stalls the rollout (the new Machine stays Pending) instead of temporarily shrinking the pool, which is the safer failure.
Tests: tests/rollout_strategy_test.yaml (7 cases: the default, the ceiling, a zero ceiling, a GPU pool, and the explicit override) fails on main without the template change; the render snapshot is updated. Two more cases cover the int32 maximum, accepted at 2147483647 and refused one above. helm unittest packages/apps/kubernetes-nodes: 252 passed. packages/extra/computeplane/tests/cluster_test.yaml checks that the wrapper forwards maxUnavailable (it fails without the allowlist entry) and refuses a value above the int32 range: 15 passed.
Backport: on release-1.6 the same strategy is also rendered by packages/apps/kubernetes/templates/cluster.yaml (the in-chart nodeGroups), and the snapshot file does not exist there, so the automatic backport cannot apply. A manual backport PR to release-1.6 covering both charts follows. release-1.7 keeps kind/backport.

fix(kubernetes): worker pool rollouts (instance type, image or version changes) now bring each replacement node up before draining the old one, instead of removing a node first. A rollout needs room for one extra VM. Pools with GPUs keep the previous behaviour.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added a pool-level maxUnavailable setting to control how many workers may be removed before replacements are ready. It defaults to 0 for non-GPU pools and 1 for GPU pools; configured values override these defaults.
Proxmox pools passing through GPUs can set maxUnavailable to 1 to help prevent rollouts from waiting indefinitely.
Bug Fixes
Rolling updates now use at least one surge node, even when the replica limit is zero.
Documentation
Documented rollout settings, defaults, and capacity considerations.
Tests
Added coverage for defaults, overrides, surge limits, and invalid values.
…d one
A worker pool rollout (instance type, image or version change) ran with
maxUnavailable 1, so CAPI drained and deleted an old Machine as soon as
its replacement had been created rather than once it had joined. A
one-node pool was left with no node for the few minutes the new VM
took to boot and register, and every pool lost one node of capacity
for each step of the rollout.
With maxUnavailable 0 a node is only drained once its replacement is
up. The surge stays at the pool ceiling, with a floor of 1 because
CAPI refuses a rolling update where both values are 0 and maxReplicas
may be 0.

Walkthrough
KubernetesNodes adds an optional maxUnavailable setting for worker-pool rollouts. The MachineDeployment template uses the setting or a GPU-based default and sets maxSurge to at least one. ComputePlane passes the setting to node pools. Tests cover defaults, configured values, replica limits, and invalid values.
ConfigSpec and the chart schemas add optional maxUnavailable values from 0 through 2,147,483,647. Deep-copy logic copies the field. The values descriptions and documentation describe defaults and rollout behavior.
Set and verify rollout limits packages/apps/kubernetes-nodes/templates/nodegroup.yaml, packages/apps/kubernetes-nodes/tests/rollout_strategy_test.yaml
The template defaults maxUnavailable to 0, or 1 for GPU pools, and uses an explicit value when set. It sets maxSurge to at least 1. Tests cover defaults, explicit values, GPU pools, replica limits, and valid and invalid bounds.
Pass the setting through ComputePlane packages/extra/computeplane/templates/cluster.yaml, packages/extra/computeplane/tests/cluster_test.yaml, packages/extra/computeplane/values.yaml, packages/extra/computeplane/values.schema.json, packages/extra/computeplane/README.md, packages/system/computeplane-rd/cozyrds/computeplane.yaml, hack/e2e-chainsaw/computeplane/chainsaw-test.yaml
The node-group values allowlist forwards maxUnavailable to the KubernetesNodes chart. Rendering and lifecycle tests verify forwarding and preservation, and check invalid bounds.
During an upgrade, a worker-pool change can drain an old worker before its replacement is ready despite an explicit zero-unavailability setting. Resolve the chart compatibility window before merging, or explicitly accept the temporary capacity risk.

The title names the fix type and scope (kubernetes) and the main behavioral change: a replacement worker is brought up before the old one is drained. The changeset sets maxSurge to at least 1 and defaults maxUnavailable to 0 for non-GPU pools, so surge-before-drain ordering matches the PR objective. The title is specific, concise, and does not describe anything absent from the changeset. It does not mention the new optional maxUnavailable override or the ComputePlane exposure, but those are secondary details.

A replacement VM in a pool with passed-through GPUs may need the very
GPU the old node holds. With maxUnavailable 0 it would stay Pending
and the rollout would never finish, so those pools keep removing a
node first.

A Proxmox template that passes a GPU through leaves gpus empty, so the
chart renders maxUnavailable 0 for that pool and its replacement VM
waits for the GPU the old worker still holds. The pool can now say so
itself with maxUnavailable, which overrides the 0, or 1 with gpus,
that the chart derives otherwise.

With maxUnavailable 0 a pool short of quota or capacity for the
replacement VM stalls its rollout instead of shrinking. The field

says so and names maxUnavailable: 1 as the way out.

mattia-eleuteri NOT LGTM. ComputePlane pools lose the drain-first option, and the new field accepts values CAPI cannot decode.
Keep the rollout override available to ComputePlane pools. They use this same worker chart, but the allowlist in packages/extra/computeplane/templates/cluster.yaml:214 drops the new field. Setting nodeGroups.md0.maxUnavailable: 1 therefore still produces a MachineDeployment with zero unavailable workers. A pool without room for another VM can no longer finish its rollout as it did before this change. Please expose and forward the setting through the wrapper, with a regression test in its existing Helm suite.
Evidence: I rendered the parent and its child chart, then ran those MachineDeployments through CAPI v1.10.1's reconciler with a fake client. With the replacement unavailable, the old replica stays on the proposed default. The base strategy removes it. Adding only the missing allowlist entry restores that behavior for the explicit override.
Reject values above the downstream integer limit. The new parameter has a minimum but no maximum. A value of 2147483648 passes the chart schema and renders unchanged into the MachineDeployment, but CAPI's integer branch is int32. Please add a maximum of 2147483647 to the parameter definition, regenerate the schema/API artifacts, and cover the boundary.
Evidence: The rendered manifest fails decoding with json: cannot unmarshal number 2147483648 into Go value of type int32 against CAPI v1.10.1. The upper bound itself decodes successfully. Adding that schema maximum rejects the invalid value before rendering.
Please also link the Terraform provider follow-up in the downstream checklist; its schema and mappings do not expose this new field yet.
…bound it to int32
The ComputePlane wrapper forwards only the pool fields it names, and maxUnavailable was not one of them. A ComputePlane pool without room for one extra VM therefore had no way back to the drain-first rollout, and its rollouts stalled.
CAPI decodes maxUnavailable as an int32, so a value above 2147483647 passed the chart schema and was then refused by the MachineDeployment decoder.

During a platform upgrade, the ComputePlane chart can update before the pool chart. If a user sets maxUnavailable: 0 while changing the instance type, the old pool chart can ignore the setting and drain the old worker before its replacement is ready. Gate the update on a compatible pool artifact.

… maxUnavailable
An explicit 0 is what overrides the pool chart's default of 1 for GPU pools, so it must reach the pool unchanged rather than be dropped as an empty value. The int32 maximum is the largest value the schema accepts and must be forwarded as is.

mattia-eleuteri NOT LGTM yet: please link the required Terraform provider follow-up before merge. Its worker-pool schema and mappings still cannot set the drain-first option when a pool has no spare rollout capacity. A tracking issue is enough if the provider change is out of scope, as the contributing checklist allows.
I verified the earlier code fixes with fresh parent-to-child renders and the CAPI reconciler. Explicit zero and the int32 maximum survive forwarding, and both schemas reject the overflow value. Reversing the forwarding change or either bound makes the relevant regression test fail. The current E2E run is still pending.
Aleksei Sviridkin (@lexfrei) Filed the provider follow-up as cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack#79 and linked it in the PR checklist. cozystack_kubernetes_nodes has no attribute for maxUnavailable, and an update there replaces the whole spec, so a Terraform-managed pool cannot drain first today. The issue asks for an optional max_unavailable with the API bounds and no provider-side default, so an unset value still leaves the choice to the chart. The provider has no ComputePlane resource, so nothing is needed there yet.

A zero dropped anywhere between the ComputePlane API and the pool chart would let a GPU pool fall back to the chart default of 1, and the render tests never cross the aggregated API. A negative value let through by the ComputePlane schema would only be refused by the pool chart, after the parent release had already been upgraded.
