What this PR does

packages/apps/vpc rendered kubeovn.io/v1 Vpc and Subnet objects and a kube-ovn NetworkAttachmentDefinition unconditionally, so a VirtualPrivateCloud could not be installed on a cluster whose network backend is Cozyplane (no kubeovn.io API served):

Helm install failed ... no matches for kind "Vpc" in version "kubeovn.io/v1"

The chart now picks its backend from API discovery, with Kube-OVN keeping priority:

Cluster serves Rendering
kubeovn.io/v1 Vpc (with or without Cozyplane) Kube-OVN, unchanged
sdn.cozystack.io/v1alpha1 VPC only Cozyplane
neither Kube-OVN, unchanged (offline helm template output is byte-identical)

Detection goes through .Capabilities.APIVersions.Has, never through lookup: a lookup against an API the cluster does not serve fails the whole render (the vm-instance counterpart is #4013). A hybrid cluster keeps rendering Kube-OVN, so an installation migrating to Cozyplane switches backends only once the Kube-OVN CRDs are gone.

Cozyplane rendering

  • One Cozyplane VPC per subnet, carrying that subnet's CIDR. Cozyplane allocates from spec.cidrs[0] only, so a single VPC with all CIDRs would leave every subnet but the first unusable.
  • The VPC is named subnet-<id>, so the NetworkAttachmentDefinition keeps its historical name: the contract vm-instance (networks[].name) and the <release>-subnets ConfigMap rely on is unchanged.
  • A VPCBinding in the tenant namespace authorizes attachment (Cozyplane is default-deny), and the NetworkAttachmentDefinition is rendered with the same content Cozyplane's controller writes for a binding, so both agree on one object and the cozystack.io/* labels consumers select on stay present.
  • Subnets of one VirtualPrivateCloud are connected through symmetric VPCPeering halves, one per ordered pair of subnets (Kube-OVN routes the subnets of a Vpc to each other).
  • peers render one half per (local subnet, remote subnet); the remote tenant's subnet VPCs are discovered by their cozystack.io/vpcId label. The remote release renders its own halves from its own peers, as with Kube-OVN, so the peering goes Ready once both releases have reconciled.
  • routes have no Cozyplane equivalent and fail the render explicitly instead of being dropped.

No values.yaml, values.schema.json or ApplicationDefinition change, so nothing to regenerate.

Tests

packages/apps/vpc/tests/network_backend_test.yaml (new make test target, 8 cases): Kube-OVN only, both backends served (Kube-OVN wins), neither served, Cozyplane only, cross-tenant peers with mocked remote VPCs, peers before the remote release exists, static routes refused on Cozyplane, static routes kept on Kube-OVN.

helm-unittest's fake lookup never errors for an unserved kind, so every Cozyplane case is pinned by the objects it renders and, for peers, by remote VPC objects mocked through kubernetesProvider. Run against the main template: 4 failed, 4 passed (the four Cozyplane cases are red without the fix, the four Kube-OVN cases are the regression guard). helm template with default values and with subnets + peers + routes: output identical to main.

Validation on a Cozyplane-only cluster (Cozystack v1.6.1, Kube-OVN CRDs absent)

Two VirtualPrivateCloud in two tenants, each declaring the other as a peer:

  • Both HelmReleases Ready; 3 Cozyplane VPC Ready with a VNI each, 3 VPCBinding, 3 subnet-<id> NetworkAttachmentDefinitions, 6 VPCPeering halves all Ready (2 intra-VPC, 4 cross-tenant).
  • Pods on the VPCs: TCP between the two subnets of one VirtualPrivateCloud, TCP across the tenant peering, no reachability towards an unrelated tenant's VPC.
  • VMInstance with networks: [{name: subnet-<id>}]: Running, Cozyplane Port allocated with IP and MAC, no OVN annotation, SSH banner reachable from a pod on the same subnet.
  • <release>-subnets ConfigMap: <name>.ID still resolves to the attachable NetworkAttachmentDefinition.

Attaching a VM through the NetworkAttachmentDefinition requires Cozyplane's Multus delegate mode (lllamnyp/cozyplane#27); the objects this chart renders are the same either way.

Screenshots

Not applicable; there is no UI change.

Downstream repositories

The diff touches packages/apps/vpc/templates/vpc.yaml, a new test suite, the package Makefile (test target, the pattern the other apps use) and the hand-written part of the package README.md. No package is added, renamed or removed; no values.yaml, values.schema.json, ApplicationDefinition, platform value, variant or hack/ file changes. The website's content/en/docs/next/networking/vpc.md is autogenerated from this README.md (vpc is in the website Makefile NETWORKING list), so the updated backend paragraph reaches the site through the existing generator on the next stable tag.

Release note

fix(vpc): render Cozyplane VPC, VPCBinding, NetworkAttachmentDefinition and VPCPeering objects when the cluster does not serve kubeovn.io; Kube-OVN clusters, including hybrid ones, keep the existing rendering.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automatic network backend selection for VPC deployments.
    • Added support for Cozyplane networking, including subnet connectivity and cross-tenant peering.
    • Preserved existing Kube-OVN behavior and priority when available.
    • Static routes are not supported with Cozyplane.
    • Added documentation describing supported network backends and selection behavior.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive coverage for backend detection, rendering, peering, routing, and fallback scenarios.
    • Added a test command for running the Helm chart test suite.

The chart rendered kubeovn.io/v1 Vpc and Subnet objects unconditionally, so
a VirtualPrivateCloud could not be installed on a cluster whose network
backend is Cozyplane (no kubeovn.io API). Pick the backend from API discovery:
Kube-OVN keeps priority whenever kubeovn.io/v1 Vpc is served, including
hybrid clusters; Cozyplane is used only when Kube-OVN is absent and
sdn.cozystack.io/v1alpha1 VPC is served; a cluster serving neither keeps the
historical rendering, so offline helm template output is byte-identical.
Detection never goes through lookup: a lookup against an API the cluster does
not serve fails the whole render.

On Cozyplane each subnet becomes a VPC carrying that subnet's CIDR (Cozyplane
allocates from the first CIDR only), a VPCBinding authorizing the tenant
namespace and the NetworkAttachmentDefinition under the historical
subnet-<id> name, so vm-instance networks[] and the <release>-subnets
ConfigMap contract are unchanged. Subnets of one release are connected by
VPCPeering halves; peers produce one half per (local subnet, remote subnet)
discovered by the cozystack.io/vpcId label. Static routes have no Cozyplane
equivalent and fail explicitly instead of being dropped.

The suite mocks remote VPC objects through kubernetesProvider because
helm-unittest's fake lookup never errors for an unserved kind; its four
Cozyplane cases are red on the previous template.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The VPC chart selects Kube-OVN or Cozyplane from served APIs. Cozyplane rendering creates per-subnet VPC resources, bindings, network attachments, and peerings. Static routes remain supported by Kube-OVN and fail for Cozyplane. Helm tests cover the behavior.

Changes

VPC backend selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backend detection and subnet rendering
packages/apps/vpc/templates/vpc.yaml, packages/apps/vpc/README.md
The chart detects served APIs and prioritizes Kube-OVN. Cozyplane rendering creates per-subnet VPCs, bindings, and network attachments. The README documents backend selection and resource behavior.
Peering and route handling
packages/apps/vpc/templates/vpc.yaml, packages/apps/vpc/tests/network_backend_test.yaml
Cozyplane rendering creates intra-tenant and discovered cross-tenant peerings. Static routes fail for Cozyplane and remain supported by Kube-OVN. Tests cover matching, unrelated, and absent remote VPCs.
Helm test entrypoint and validation
packages/apps/vpc/Makefile, packages/apps/vpc/tests/network_backend_test.yaml
The Makefile adds a test target that runs helm unittest .. The test suite validates backend selection, rendered resources, peering, and route behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8ba44

The chart adds Cozyplane rendering while preserving Kube-OVN behavior, with focused tests and validation described for both backends; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

subnets[*].name is an unconstrained string in the schema; unquoted, a name
carrying a newline would open another YAML document. Quote it on the three
Cozyplane objects that carry it as a label. The Kube-OVN block is left as is
so its rendering stays byte-identical.

## What this PR does

Adds an optional `allowSubnets` list to each entry of `subnets` in the
VirtualPrivateCloud chart, rendered into `spec.allowSubnets` of the
kube-ovn `Subnet`.

Every VPC subnet is rendered `private: true`, so kube-ovn drops any
packet whose source is outside the subnet's own CIDR. A tenant who runs
a VPN or router VM on a subnet already gets the forward path through
`routes` (a static route with the VM as `nextHopIP`), but traffic
arriving from the remote network is dropped by the private ACL. Today
the only fix is an operator patching the cluster-scoped `Subnet` by
hand: the tenant cannot do it, no application value records it, and it
is lost whenever the subnet is recreated.

```yaml
spec:
  subnets:
    - name: gateway
      cidr: 172.16.1.0/24
      allowSubnets:
        - 192.168.1.0/24
  routes:
    - cidr: 192.168.1.0/24
      nextHopIP: 172.16.1.10
```

The subnet stays private; the list only widens the ingress ACL of the
subnet that declares it, inside the tenant's own VPC. An absent or empty
list renders nothing, so existing releases produce the same manifests.

The chart had no helm-unittest suite, so this adds a `test` target and
`tests/subnet_test.yaml`, covering a subnet without the field, one with
it, the field staying scoped to its own subnet, and an empty list. Two
of the four cases fail against the template on `main`.

`allowSubnets` is a kube-ovn field. #4034 teaches this chart to render
Cozyplane objects when kube-ovn is absent, so whichever of the two lands
second has to decide how the other backend treats the list.

### 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**
* Private subnets can now allow additional source CIDR ranges, such as
remote networks routed through a gateway. This setting is optional and
can be configured for individual subnets.
* **Tests**
* Added checks for rendering subnet CIDRs, including cases where the
setting is omitted or applied to only one subnet.

lf (@lfinmauritius) NOT LGTM: this adds a network backend that Cozystack does not ship yet.

Main has no Cozyplane. The sdn.cozystack.io/v1alpha1 group on main serves only SecurityGroup from cozystack-api, and nothing on main installs VPC, VPCBinding or VPCPeering. The only in-tree source for those kinds is #3149, which is still an open draft and serves them from its own aggregated API server. Its API can still change in review. So no cluster installed from main ever takes the new branch, and about 140 template lines plus a 315-line test suite would pin an API that is not settled.

The vpc integration with Cozyplane belongs in #3149, or in a follow-up once it lands, agreed with its author. I'd close this for now.

For the next PR: the commits carry Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <[email protected]>. The repo accepts only Assisted-by: LLM there, see docs/agents/contributing.md.

lf (@lfinmauritius) closing for now. Cozyplane is not on main, so this branch never renders on an installed cluster. The VPC side belongs in #3149 or in a follow-up once it lands.
