What this PR does

This keeps the TLS-passthrough services on port 443 of the tenant Gateway and makes the passthrough rules hold on Cilium 1.20.2. It is stacked on #3343 and has to land with it (stack #4717).

On 1.20, upstream Cilium marks an HTTPS-terminate listener and a TLS-passthrough listener on one port Conflicted when their hostnames overlap, and drops both from Envoy. That took *.<apex> and the api, vm-exportproxy and cdi-uploadproxy passthrough listeners down together on every tenant Gateway in dns01 and existingSecret mode (#3912). #3343 now ships a patched operator that conflicts the pair only when the hostnames are equal, so the layout stays as it is on main: one Gateway, one address, everything on 443. What remains is the equal-hostname case and the cleanup that 1.20 allows.

Under http01, a name a passthrough listener answers is now reserved by the spec alone. Before, the controller dropped the terminate listener for such a name only once a TLSRoute was attached to the passthrough listener and its backend Service resolved, which copied how Cilium builds filter chains. Without a working TLSRoute, an HTTPRoute on api.<apex> kept its terminate listener next to tls-api, and on 1.20 that equal-hostname pair takes both listeners down. Now such an HTTPRoute gets no listener and no certificate, TLSRoute or not. If all its hostnames are reserved it reads Accepted=False with NoMatchingListenerHostname. If it also claims a free hostname it stays Accepted and is served there. The backend lookup, its Service and ReferenceGrant watches and their RBAC rules are gone.

Other changes:

  • tlsPassthroughListeners is accepted under dns01 and existingSecret. The old refusal relied on 1.19.5 serving all ports from one Envoy listener; 1.20 splits ports whose SNI overlaps.
  • A TenantGateway reads Ready=False with reason GatewayClassUnsupported when its GatewayClass lists features in status.supportedFeatures but not TLSRoute, while it renders passthrough listeners. A class that lists nothing is not judged. Cilium 1.20.2 lists TLSRoute.
  • Comments, the README and one error message no longer describe Cilium 1.19.5 as the shipped release.
  • The gateway chart writes tlsPassthroughServices on the publishing tenant only, behind the same gateway.enabled switch and publishing.exposedServices filter as the platform TLSRoutes. Before, every tenant Gateway got the three passthrough listeners with nothing routed to them, and the reservation above would have taken those names from a child tenant's own HTTPRoutes.

The uniform allowedRoutes.kinds on port 443 from #3087 stays. The Cilium bug behind it is fixed since 1.19.6, but several tests pin it, so removing it is a separate cleanup.

Upgrade notes

Only the publishing tenant keeps the api, vm-exportproxy and cdi-uploadproxy passthrough listeners. That is tenant-root unless publishing.ingressName says otherwise, and only for names in publishing.exposedServices while gateway.enabled is on. Other tenants lose these listeners on upgrade. Nothing shipped was attached to them, so a child tenant's own HTTPRoute on api.<child-apex> keeps its listener and certificate.

Two narrow cases do change. On the publishing tenant under http01, an HTTPRoute on an exposed passthrough name loses its listener and certificate when the platform TLSRoute for that name forwards nowhere (the owning package is not installed, or its backends do not resolve). A TLSRoute attached by hand to a child tenant's tls-* listener loses its parent. To keep that listener, merge-patch tlsPassthroughServices into the tenant's TenantGateway after the upgrade. From then on the chart does not render the key there, and later upgrades leave the patch alone. dns01 and existingSecret do not change: the wildcard listener still covers such a name, and the passthrough listener answers it by its exact name.

Tested locally: Go tests for the controller, go vet, helm-unittest for extra/gateway and cozystack-controller, make generate and make manifests with no diff. The gateway e2e scenario checks that a child tenant renders no passthrough listener. It then declares tls-api and a passthrough listener on a native port on that tenant, checks that the tenant stays Ready with no route behind either, and checks the reservation against tls-api. Unit tests catch a regression in either change. In e2e, dropping the reservation turns the gateway suite red, and dropping the chart scoping does not, because CI never sets gateway.enabled (#4846). The controller was not run on a live cluster; the operator patch it depends on was, see #3343.

Release note

feat(gateway)!: the tenant Gateway renders the api, vm-exportproxy and cdi-uploadproxy passthrough listeners only on the publishing tenant, for the names publishing.exposedServices lists while gateway.enabled is on. Under certMode http01 a name a TLS-passthrough listener answers no longer gets an HTTPS listener on 443, with or without a TLSRoute behind it. On the publishing tenant, an HTTPRoute on such a name whose TLSRoute forwards nowhere loses its listener and certificate. A TLSRoute attached by hand to a tls-* listener of another tenant loses its parent. An HTTPRoute with some reserved and some free hostnames used to be rejected whole; it is now Accepted and its free hostnames get a listener and a certificate. tlsPassthroughListeners is accepted under dns01 and existingSecret. A TenantGateway whose GatewayClass does not list TLSRoute in its supported features reads Ready=False while it renders passthrough listeners.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • TLS passthrough listeners are supported with HTTP-01, DNS-01, and existing-secret certificate modes. Edge-terminated Gateways remain unsupported.
    • Declaring a passthrough hostname reserves it from HTTPS termination and certificate creation, even when no route is attached.
    • Passthrough listeners are rendered only for exposed services on the enabled publishing Gateway.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Gateways that declare passthrough listeners but explicitly lack TLSRoute support are now reported as not ready.
    • Routes targeting a hostname served by a passthrough listener on a different Gateway are correctly withdrawn.

Changes

Tenant Gateway passthrough

Layer / File(s) Summary
Passthrough modes and listener rendering
api/gateway/v1alpha1/tenantgateway_types.go, packages/system/cozystack-controller/definitions/*, internal/controller/tenantgateway/renderers.go, packages/extra/gateway/templates/*, packages/extra/gateway/tests/*, packages/extra/gateway/values.*, packages/extra/gateway/README.md
Passthrough listeners are accepted for HTTP-01, DNS-01, and existing-secret modes, and rejected for edge mode. The chart renders configured passthrough services only for the enabled publishing tenant and only when those services are exposed.
Hostname reservations and route claims
internal/controller/tenantgateway/{backends.go,backends_test.go,conflict.go,reconciler.go,reconciler_test.go}, hack/e2e-chainsaw/gateway/chainsaw-test.yaml, api/gateway/v1alpha1/tenantgateway_types.go, packages/system/cozystack-controller/definitions/*, docs/gateway-classes.md, packages/extra/gateway/README.md
Declared passthrough hostnames are reserved without an attached TLSRoute or resolved backend. HTTPRoutes claiming reserved hostnames do not receive competing termination listeners or per-hostname certificates. Route withdrawal reporting also identifies when another Gateway serves the hostname.
GatewayClass watches and readiness
internal/controller/tenantgateway/{mapper.go,mapper_test.go,reconciler.go,reconciler_test.go,status.go,rbac_test.go}, packages/system/cozystack-controller/templates/rbac.yaml, docs/gateway-classes.md
The controller watches GatewayClass changes and requeues TenantGateways that use the changed class. When a class explicitly lists supported features but omits TLSRoute, readiness reports GatewayClassUnsupported for configurations that render passthrough listeners.

Requesting changes for the docs, this PR makes them contradict the code. Details inline.

README lines 116, 120 and 126 still say dns01 and existingSecret keep the same-port pair, that the chart exposes no tlsPassthroughListeners value and that CEL confines it to http01, while line 114 now says the opposite. docs/gateway-classes.md lines 57, 66 and 69 still describe three passthrough services and TLSRoutes that match nothing on an edge class, but under singleAddress vm-exportproxy and cdi-uploadproxy render HTTPRoute plus BackendTLSPolicy in every cert mode. Text about 1.19.5 can wait for the follow-up like description says, these paragraphs are made wrong by this PR, not by the pin.

Second thing, fresh install with gateway.enabled in singleAddress: cozystack-api renders its TLSRoute into tenant-root, which comes from cozystack-basics, and basics depends on cozystack-engine with cozystack-api inside. Inline on api-tlsroute.yaml. Not severe, only fresh installs and installing with gateway disabled and enabling it after works around it, but worth fixing.

Comment thread packages/extra/gateway/README.md Outdated
The listener is all this field creates. Nothing is routed until a `TLSRoute` attaches to it by `sectionName: tls-<name>` and names a backend Service, and because a passthrough listener never terminates TLS, the backend — not the Gateway — must hold the certificate for the listener's hostname. Route attachment is bounded more tightly than on the other listeners, in two ways: only `TLSRoute`, and only from the publishing tenant's own namespace, pinned by the `kubernetes.io/metadata.name` label that kube-apiserver writes. `TLSRoute` alone is what the pinned Cilium derives from the `TLS` listener protocol rather than something Gateway API guarantees: the spec leaves the protocol-to-kind mapping to the implementation and its own table pairs `TLS` with `TCPRoute` as well. The kind is left to the protocol rather than spelled out because at the pinned `v1.19.5` a listener that spells its kinds out has them applied to every route on the Gateway, not to itself; `v1.19.6` matches the listener the route actually names, so this one is a patch bump away from being unnecessary rather than tied to the rest of the pin. The `namespace.cozystack.io/gateway` label the port-443 listeners select on is stamped on every inheriting child tenant namespace, which is a reasonable attach set for a shared HTTPS port and a poor one for a database port. Narrowing is free while no chart value exposes this field; widening later is a values change, whereas narrowing after something depends on it would not be.

Three current limitations are worth knowing before designing around this, and they do not share an origin. The first is the certificate mode: the field is supported with `certMode: http01` alone, and the refusal rests on two unrelated reasons. Under `dns01` and `existingSecret` it follows from the Cilium version this platform pins, because those modes serve the whole tenant from one `*.<apex>` terminate listener whose SNI match covers every hostname this field can declare. Under `edge` it follows from the mode itself, which ends TLS at the class provider and renders no TLS listener for a passthrough entry to sit beside, so that half holds whatever Cilium does. The second follows from the pin: a hostname a passthrough listener answers gets no HTTPS-terminate listener once a `TLSRoute` claiming that hostname can be served on the listener, even when the two would sit on different ports, and a name beneath a wildcard entry is reached the same way once a `TLSRoute` claims that name itself; a `TLSRoute` on the wildcard puts the wildcard on its filter chain, which Envoy ranks below an exact server name, so the names beneath keep their terminate listeners. The third is a deliberate narrowing of this phase and not a pin consequence: each entry must occupy its own port, so two instances of the same engine cannot both sit on the engine's native port distinguished only by SNI. Gateway API permits that pair and the port-443 `tls-<svc>` listeners already are that pair; the restriction exists because nothing downstream yet makes two engines on one port testable, and lifting it means deleting a check in the controller and the matching CEL rule in the CRD, without touching a field or a type. The pin-derived halves should be revisited when the pin moves; the `edge` refusal and the narrowing are independent of it. All three are validation changes with no API impact.

Their `*.<apex>` terminate listener overlaps every entry by SNI, but on port 443, and Gateway API treats listeners on different ports as compatible; Cilium from v1.20 gives each port its own Envoy listener when their SNI overlaps.

This paragraph now says dns01 and existingSecret accept the field, paragraphs below are untouched. Line 116 says they carry the same-port pair, line 120 says the chart exposes no value for it and CEL confines it to http01, line 126 says both modes refuse it. The chart renders it now (templates/tenantgateway.yaml line 223) and the rule is certMode != 'edge'.

Same for docs/gateway-classes.md lines 57, 66 and 69 (singleAddress renders HTTPRoute plus BackendTLSPolicy for vm-exportproxy and cdi-uploadproxy in every cert mode, so edge classes don't get TLSRoutes that match nothing), and for the comment above attachedNamespaces in platform values.yaml line 648 (default is needed for the API route only under separateAddress).

Fixed in 043d4d1. The README now says only edge refuses the field and that moves among http01, dns01 and existingSecret are not blocked. It also says the chart writes the api 6443 entry itself on the publishing tenant under singleAddress, and it no longer claims the wildcard modes refuse the field or carry the same-port pair. I went through the rest of the section for the same claims and fixed them too: the listener count, the edge paragraph, the per-mode upgrade shedding and the dns01 way forward. docs/gateway-classes.md lines 57, 66 and 69 now split by passthroughMode, and the attachedNamespaces comment in the platform values limits default to separateAddress (that one is in a198cad).

This renders into tenant-root, but that namespace is created by cozystack-basics (system/cozystack-basics/templates/tenant-root.yaml), and cozystack-basics depends on every cozystack-engine component, cozystack-api included (sources/cozystack-basics.yaml, buildDependsOn expands a package dependency to all its components). Going by that graph and the rendered chart, on fresh install with gateway.enabled=true and api exposed (default under singleAddress) this release fails with namespace not found, and tenant-root never appears because basics waits for it. Not run on a cluster. Before, the route was in default, which always exists.

Upgrades are not affected and installing with the gateway disabled and enabling it after works around it, so not severe. The e2e install doesn't set gateway.enabled and helm unittest only renders, so nothing exercises this path.

Moving TLSRoute and ReferenceGrant to cozystack-basics (it depends on engine and gateway-api-crds and already renders into tenant-root) would work, or to the publishing tenant's gateway chart next to the listener.

I moved the route out of cozystack-api in a198cad. Under singleAddress the TLSRoute and its ReferenceGrant are now rendered by the publishing tenant's gateway chart, next to the 6443 listener, under exactly the conditions that listener renders under. That release is installed into tenant-root only after basics has created it. cozystack-api keeps only the separateAddress route, which lives in default. The grant in default is written by the shared Flux service account, which is cluster-admin, and helm-unittest now covers both modes as well as the cases where no route should render.

Verdict

NOT LGTM

The rework closes the steady state of both earlier blockers. The gateway chart now scopes the passthrough services to the publishing tenant, and the default singleAddress runs with no second Gateway at all. What still blocks: the two earlier blockers survive on the existing-customer upgrade path, re-derived against this head, plus a new one. The VM-export re-encrypt policy is on by default and names the wrong CA, so the Gateway cannot verify its backend.

Findings

  • [MAJOR] packages/system/kubevirt/templates/vm-exportproxy-httproute.yaml:38, BackendTLSPolicy for virt-exportproxy names the wrong CA: the exportproxy serving cert is signed by kubevirt-ca, not kubevirt-export-ca
  • [MAJOR] internal/controller/tenantgateway/reconciler.go:1262, upgrade window: controller renders a second passthrough Gateway (own LB address) for every non-edge tenant and sheds the main-Gateway passthrough listeners before each tenant's chart re-renders
  • [MAJOR] packages/core/platform/values.yaml:617, default singleAddress moves the tenant API to :6443 but nothing enforces apiServerEndpoint carries the port, and the shipped example does not
  • [MINOR] packages/system/kubevirt/templates/vm-exportproxy-tlsroute.yaml:22, separateAddress TLSRoute and Ingress backend to vm-exportproxy, a Service nothing creates, while the default HTTPRoute uses virt-exportproxy

Still open from the earlier round

Both carry forward from 5efebf3d, re-derived at d3b18648. The second-Gateway/shed-listeners break is now only in the upgrade window, not steady state: at the merge base the chart writes tlsPassthroughServices onto every non-edge tenant, and gateway-application still dependsOn cozystack.cozystack-engine, so the controller is live before the per-tenant charts re-render and transiently builds a <tenant>-passthrough Gateway (own LB address) for each while the old platform TLSRoutes go NoMatchingParent. It self-heals on convergence but is unsequenced. The API-port move is unchanged in substance; a blanket render-time guard is wrong on isp-full-generic (there apiServerEndpoint must reach kube-apiserver directly), so scope any guard or ship the example with :6443.

Notes

  • Steady state of the second-Gateway concern is fixed; a non-publishing tenant renders no passthrough listener.
  • myasnikovdaniil's two threads (docs contradiction, fresh-install ordering) are resolved at this head for the default path; his review predates this head by ~12h and he has not re-read it. The author answered by pushing, not inline.
  • backendca is namespace-confined with an owner-check and an uncached read; CDI's CA source is correct. go test and the gateway/platform helm unittests are green.
  • ci-red-on-head is the "Check for an API owner approval" step (job 111007060696) asking lllamnyp/kvaps to approve a breaking API change: governance, not a code defect.
  • Runtime tenant isolation and the per-port split rest on Cilium 1.19.6 (the stacked base) and NetworkPolicy, not provable offline; manifests render consistent. The VM-export CA defect is an offline manifest fact; it bites where the class enforces BackendTLSPolicy.

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.

[MINOR] packages/system/kubevirt/templates/vm-exportproxy-tlsroute.yaml:22 separateAddress TLSRoute and Ingress backend to vm-exportproxy, a Service nothing creates, while the default HTTPRoute uses virt-exportproxy

Under separateAddress the vm-exportproxy TLSRoute (and the legacy Ingress) forward to Service vm-exportproxy, which no template in the tree creates; the real Service is virt-exportproxy, which the default singleAddress HTTPRoute right beside it correctly names. So vm-exportproxy. black-holes under separateAddress. Pre-existing and acknowledged in the PR body with the fix deferred to #4637; flagged because this PR now places the correct name one file over, making the mismatch visible, and because separateAddress is the mode that depends on the missing fix. CDI is consistent (cdi-uploadproxy both routes).

[MAJOR] BackendTLSPolicy for virt-exportproxy names the wrong CA: the exportproxy serving cert is signed by kubevirt-ca, not kubevirt-export-ca

Under the default passthroughMode=singleAddress the VM export proxy is terminated at the Gateway and re-encrypted to virt-exportproxy under this BackendTLSPolicy. The new backendca controller copies the CA from the ConfigMap the gateway.cozystack.io/ca-bundle-from annotation names, here kubevirt-export-ca/ca-bundle, into virt-exportproxy-ca, and the Gateway validates the backend connection to virt-exportproxy.<ns>.svc against it. In the pinned KubeVirt v1.9.0 the exportproxy serving certificate (Secret kubevirt-exportproxy-certs, VirtExportProxyCertSecretName) is signed by the MAIN KubeVirt CA, not the export CA: createOrUpdateCertificateSecrets(queue, caCert, ...) at pkg/virt-operator/resource/apply/core.go:490 signs every per-component serving cert with caCert from createOrUpdateCACertificateSecret(KubeVirtCASecretName) at :411, while the export CA created at :417 is passed only to the export CA bundle ConfigMap at :448 and signs the per-VMExport export-server certs. NewCAConfigMaps makes kubevirt-ca and kubevirt-export-ca two distinct ca-bundle ConfigMaps. So the CA copied here cannot verify the exportproxy's certificate, and where the GatewayClass enforces BackendTLSPolicy (the design requires it) TLS origination fails and vm-exportproxy. is down in the default mode, on fresh install and on upgrade. The exportproxy cert SANs do include virt-exportproxy..svc (secrets.go:184), so the hostname is correct and the CA is the only defect. The CDI counterpart points at cdi-uploadproxy-signer-bundle and is correct. Fix: source kubevirt-ca/ca-bundle.

Confirmed against v1.9.0 and fixed in a198cad. createOrUpdateCertificateSecrets signs kubevirt-exportproxy-certs with the main CA, and kubevirt-export-ca only signs the per-export servers. The policy now sources kubevirt-ca/ca-bundle, with a comment saying why, and the chart test pins the annotation.

[MAJOR] upgrade window: controller renders a second passthrough Gateway (own LB address) for every non-edge tenant and sheds the main-Gateway passthrough listeners before each tenant's chart re-renders

renderPassthroughGateway returns non-nil whenever renderedPassthroughServices(tgw) is non-empty, and renderGateway no longer emits the tls- listeners on the main Gateway. At the merge base the gateway chart writes tlsPassthroughServices:[api,vm-exportproxy,cdi-uploadproxy] onto every non-edge TenantGateway (verified by rendering the base chart for a non-publishing namespace); the head chart drops the field on non-publishing tenants and, under singleAddress, on the publishing tenant too. gateway-application dependsOn cozystack.cozystack-engine (packages/core/platform/sources/gateway-application.yaml:25), so the new controller is live before the per-tenant gateway HelmReleases (interval 5m) re-render. In that window the controller reconciles the old CRs: it creates -passthrough for every non-edge tenant, each claiming its own LB address (ownedGateway sets no spec.addresses, so Cilium allocates one per Gateway), and status.go folds that Gateway into readiness so an exhausted pool flips the TenantGateway Ready=False; meanwhile the platform TLSRoutes shipped by cozystack-api/kubevirt/kubevirt-cdi still name the main Gateway's tls- section, now gone, and go NoMatchingParent, so API/VM-export/CDI-upload are down until the charts converge. Self-heals on convergence, but nothing sequences the chart re-render ahead of the controller behaviour change and no migration clears the field first. Consider gating the passthrough Gateway on the chart having caught up (e.g. the mode present in _cluster) or sequencing the re-render.

The window was real. In a198cad the controller reads gateway-passthrough-mode and expose-ingress from cozy-system/cozystack-values, the channel the wildcardsecret controller already reads. It renders the passthrough Gateway only for separateAddress on the publishing tenant. A TenantGateway still carrying tlsPassthroughServices from the old chart, or one with no channel to read, gets no second Gateway and no address. A change to that Secret requeues every TenantGateway, and tests cover the old-CR, singleAddress, no-channel and publishing cases. The old platform TLSRoutes still read NoMatchingParent until the charts converge, but that is now the only effect of the window.

[MAJOR] default singleAddress moves the tenant API to :6443 but nothing enforces apiServerEndpoint carries the port, and the shipped example does not

Under the default singleAddress the publishing tenant renders only a 6443 tlsPassthroughListeners entry and a TLSRoute on it for api.; no listener serves that name on 443 (verified render). packages/extra/info/templates/kubeconfig.yaml writes publishing.apiServerEndpoint verbatim as cluster.server into every tenant kubeconfig, and packages/core/installer/example/platform.yaml:13 carries https://api. with no port. apps.yaml fails on an unknown mode but does not fail or warn when singleAddress is chosen with api exposed, gateway.enabled on and apiServerEndpoint lacking :6443, and the breaking default is chosen for existing clusters. So a routine upgrade loses the API for every kubeconfig-holding client until the operator finds the :6443 requirement in the README and reissues. A blanket render-time fail is wrong on the isp-full-generic variant, where apiServerEndpoint must reach kube-apiserver directly and not through the Gateway; scope the guard to the other variants, or ship the example with :6443, or default existing clusters to separateAddress.

I went with your third option in a198cad: existing clusters keep separateAddress, and only new installs get singleAddress. Migration 59 pins gateway.passthroughMode: separateAddress in the platform Package when gateway.enabled is on and no mode is set. A mode the operator chose is left alone. The migration runs as the hook of a render that is already done, so apps.yaml makes the same choice from the cozystack-version stamp. That also covers the variants that run no migrations. An upgraded cluster keeps its API on 443, and the BREAKING note now says its DNS for the three names has to move to the second address.

myasnikovdaniil both points are addressed on 043d4d1. The docs no longer contradict the code: the gateway README, docs/gateway-classes.md and the platform values comments now match the CEL rule (only edge refuses tlsPassthroughListeners), the chart's own api entry, and the per-mode routes. The fresh-install ordering is fixed by rendering the singleAddress API route and its grant from the gateway chart in tenant-root instead of from cozystack-api. I left the text about 1.19.5 for the follow-up, as you suggested.

IvanHunters all three MAJOR findings are fixed on 043d4d1, one reply per thread. The VM export policy now trusts kubevirt-ca. The controller renders the second Gateway only where the platform values say separateAddress for the publishing tenant. Existing Gateway installs are pinned to separateAddress by migration 59, and by the chart for the render the migration runs behind. The MINOR on the vm-exportproxy Service name stays with #4637.

IvanHunters, the rework after this review removed the second Gateway, gateway.passthroughMode, migration 60, the backendca controller and the termination of vm-exportproxy and cdi-uploadproxy. Most findings are about code that is gone, and I answered each in its thread. The one that still applies is the empty supportedFeatures case in status.go, which I'm keeping, with the reason in the thread. This PR and #3343 are merged together. Unit & controller tests is green on b69f930, which has the same tree apart from a patch header in the base. The API owner check still needs lllamnyp or kvaps.

myasnikovdaniil, the seven points against 1943501:

  1. Unit & controller tests is green on b69f930, after the rebase onto main with fix(kubevirt): route the export proxy to the Service KubeVirt creates #4637, and the migration 60 bats file is gone.
  2. gatewayclasses is in needed in rbac_test.go (393d2ee), and dropping that rule from rbac.yaml fails the test. The Secret watch and the backendtlspolicies and configmaps rules went away with the backendca controller.
  3. The "class without TLSRoute, passthrough services" case covers it. Dropping len(renderedPassthroughServices(tgw)) == 0 && from status.go fails that case.
  4. to 7. are outdated: separateAddress, the CDI and VM-export termination and the backendca controller were removed. There is no second address, no stream idle timeout on uploads and no owner reference left.

Verdict

NOT LGTM

The rework is clean: all six round-1 findings are resolved, the name-reservation logic holds, and the tests are non-vacuous. The one thing standing between this and an LGTM is the deliberate http01 upgrade break, which is correct code but a breaking change on a supported upgrade path, and that belongs to an API owner to accept rather than to a reviewer to wave through.

Findings

  • [MAJOR] internal/controller/tenantgateway/reconciler.go:426, http01 upgrade: a tenant's own HTTPRoute on a reserved default name loses its listener and certificate

Round-1 reconciliation

  • CI red on head: closed. Unit & controller tests is green live on 1943501; the migration-60 bats file and the #4637 export test are gone.
  • vm-exportproxy dead backend, migration 60 offline, backendca silent failure, the separateAddress attach-set asymmetry: all moot. backends.go backend resolution, the backendca controller, passthroughMode, separateAddress and migration 60 were deleted; grep finds none of them, and the PR adds no migration.
  • Empty supportedFeatures not judged: resolved, and my round-1 mechanism was wrong. An unsupported passthrough listener yields an unserved name, not plaintext, and readiness still comes from Gateway.status.listeners (no status means Pending, not Ready). On the shipped cilium class TLSRoute is in supportedFeatures, so it is judged. Treating an empty list as not-judged is the safe choice: a TLSRoute-serving class that predates the field leaves it empty, and flagging it would false-fail a working class. The reason is now in the function's doc comment.

Checked and correct

  • Name reservation is tenant-safe. The listener name and hostname come from the tenant's own spec, which only the gateway chart and a cluster-admin can write; tenant roles carry no gateway.cozystack.io permission, the hostname is bounded to the tenant apex by CEL and by the route-hostname policy, and listener names live inside one Gateway per tenant, so no cross-tenant name collision exists. A child tenant can reach api.<root-apex> only if the parent named the child api.
  • The equal-hostname conflict on port 443 is unreachable for a legal config: terminate listeners render only for hostnames that do not overlap a passthrough hostname, and a wildcard-hostname HTTPRoute is rejected before that. This PR removes that conflict class, it does not add one.
  • go build, go vet, go test ./internal/controller/tenantgateway/ and both charts' helm unittest pass; a mutation of strictlyNarrowerHostname/the reservation test reddens the suite, so coverage is real.

Caveats

  • Require API owner review for sizeable API changes fails on the Check for an API owner approval step: a breaking API change needs an approving review from lllamnyp or kvaps. Governance, not a code defect, and the gate for the finding above.
  • Stacked on #3343 (base bump/cilium-1.19.6); the two merge together. #3343 carries the cilium-operator patches this controller change relies on.
  • The dns01/existingSecret lift only accepts the native-port tlsPassthroughListeners field, which no chart value exposes (reachable by kubectl-edit only), and the cross-protocol split keeps it off 443. Envoy filter-chain behaviour here is render-blind: reasoned, not run on a cluster. Replay with cozystack-pr-test.

[MAJOR] http01 upgrade: a tenant's own HTTPRoute on a reserved default name loses its listener and certificate

Reserving a passthrough listener's name from the spec alone is correct, but it is a breaking upgrade change and it should be an API owner who accepts it, not something a review certifies away. tlsPassthroughServices defaults to api, vm-exportproxy, cdi-uploadproxy, and every tenant Gateway renders those three passthrough listeners. On a non-publishing tenant under http01, no platform TLSRoute attaches, so before this change an HTTPRoute of that tenant claiming api/vm-exportproxy/cdi-uploadproxy.<apex> kept a terminate listener and an ACME certificate; after upgrade it gets neither and the name is served by nothing, with the shed Secrets left orphaned (enableCertificateOwnerRef: false). It is intended and documented (feat!, release note, recovery is to move the app to a name outside tlsPassthroughServices), and TestReconcile_ReservedHostnameGetsNoTerminateListener pins it. The code is correct. What blocks an automatic LGTM is that this is an introduced change on a supported upgrade path, which is exactly what the Require API owner review gate routes (currently unsatisfied, needs lllamnyp or kvaps). Blast radius is narrow: it only touches a tenant that published its own app on a platform-reserved service name, and Gateway integration is off by default.

I removed the break for child tenants instead of asking for an owner sign-off. The chart writes tlsPassthroughServices only on the publishing tenant now, with the same gateway.enabled and exposedServices conditions as the platform TLSRoutes (52f09d1). A child tenant has no tls-* listener anymore, so its HTTPRoute on api.<child-apex> keeps its listener and certificate. What's left is narrow and is in the release note: an HTTPRoute on the publishing tenant whose platform TLSRoute forwards nowhere, and a TLSRoute someone attached by hand to a child's tls-* listener.

…Secret

The refusal existed because Cilium 1.19.5 served every Gateway port
from one Envoy listener matched by SNI alone, so the "*.<apex>"
terminate listener of the wildcard modes and a passthrough listener
under the apex could reach each other's backend. The shipped Cilium
1.20.2 gives each port its own Envoy listener when SNI overlaps across
ports, and Gateway API treats listeners on different ports as
compatible, so the pair is served as declared. edge still refuses the
field: it renders no TLS listener for an entry to bind to.

A GatewayClass lists the features it serves in status.supportedFeatures,
and TLS passthrough is TLSRoute. On a class that leaves it out the
passthrough listeners are accepted and serve nothing, so the
TenantGateway now reads Ready=False/GatewayClassUnsupported naming the
class instead of Ready. A class that lists no features at all is not
judged: implementations predating the field leave it empty.

The class writes that list after it is accepted and may change it when
its controller is upgraded, so a GatewayClass event requeues the
TenantGateways on it.

… attach

The chart wrote the tlsPassthroughServices default onto every non-edge
tenant's TenantGateway, so every tenant Gateway carried tls-api,
tls-vm-exportproxy and tls-cdi-uploadproxy. The TLSRoutes that serve
those names are platform routes: the packages owning the services render
one per name in publishing.exposedServices while gateway.enabled is on,
parented to the publishing tenant's Gateway alone. Everywhere else no
shipped route attached to the listeners, and a passthrough listener
holds its name whether or not anything is routed through it.

The chart now writes the field only on the publishing tenant, with the
same gateway.enabled switch and the same exposedServices filter those
routes use, so a listener exists exactly where a platform route can
attach. A TLSRoute attached by hand to one of those listeners on another
tenant loses its parent.

IvanHunters, the MAJOR is fixed in 52f09d1: child tenants no longer render the passthrough listeners. The API owner check is still red for another reason: api-gate reads the dns01/existingSecret CEL relaxation in d624049 as a new validation rule, and only an approval from lllamnyp or kvaps clears it.

Verdict

LGTM

Round 2's blocker is fixed. 52f09d1ae moves the passthrough-service list into the chart and gates it on the publishing tenant: tlsPassthroughServices is now written only when the release namespace is the one expose-ingress names, the platform gateway is on, and the service is in expose-services. A non-publishing tenant renders none of them, so its own HTTPRoute on api/vm-exportproxy/cdi-uploadproxy.<apex> keeps its terminate listener and certificate across the upgrade. The new helm unittests pin exactly that, including the non-publishing case, and Unit & controller tests is green on the head.

Round-2 reconciliation: the http01 upgrade regression is closed, and the publishing tenant still renders the passthrough listeners it should.

Caveats

  • Require API owner review is still red: the breaking API change, and the dns01/existingSecret CEL relaxation, need an approving review from lllamnyp or kvaps. Governance, not a code defect.
  • expose-ingress stays overloaded (it is both an ingressClassName and the publishing namespace); a deployment that splits the two makes the namespace guard compare against the wrong value. Documented in the template, pre-existing, worth a follow-up.
  • Stacked on #3343; the two merge together.

Do not make the routeless-listener check depend on app-probe certificate issuance.

app-probe remains in the Gateway when the final assertion runs. In http01 mode, the controller creates a per-listener Certificate with an Issuer reference and a Secret target. The test checks only the Certificate object, not its Ready condition or Secret.

The aggregate TenantGateway Ready condition becomes false when any listener is not ready. If Cilium leaves the HTTPS listener unprogrammed while its certificate is unresolved, the final assertion can time out even when tls-pgprobe is ready.

Delete app-probe and api-probe before applying the tls-pgprobe patch, or assert only the tls-pgprobe listener entry.

1277 - 1289:
Update the TenantGateway assertion for the tls-pgprobe listener to check only
that listener’s readiness; remove the aggregate Ready condition so the assertion
does not depend on other listeners.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr

The TenantGateway controller withheld the HTTPS-terminate listener for a
name a passthrough listener answers only once a TLSRoute was attached
there and resolved a backend, mirroring how Cilium builds its filter
chains. That kept a served endpoint up on Cilium 1.19.5, but it tied
every route's status to one implementation's translator and needed
Service and ReferenceGrant watches to land the deferred decision.

The shipped operator accepts a wildcard terminate listener beside a
narrower passthrough listener on 443 and keeps conflicting every other
overlap. A terminate listener for the passthrough name itself is not
narrower, so on 443 the rule now protects the dataplane outright; on a
native port Gateway API would serve the pair, and the rule holds as a
policy that keeps a platform name with its passthrough listener. Reading
it off the spec makes the outcome the same on every implementation.

Under http01 an HTTPRoute claiming such a name gets no listener and no
certificate whether or not a TLSRoute is attached. A route whose every
hostname is reserved reads Accepted=False with
NoMatchingListenerHostname; one that also claims a free hostname stays
Accepted and is served there, as Gateway API accepts a route whose
hostnames intersect at least one listener. dns01 and existingSecret are
unchanged: their wildcard listener still covers such a name, and the
passthrough listener answers it by its exact server name.

The chart writes the passthrough services on the publishing tenant
alone, so the names reserved by default are the ones the platform
publishes there through its own TLSRoutes. The shape an upgrade
changes is an HTTPRoute on such a name whose platform TLSRoute forwards
nowhere, because it never attached (the package owning the service is
not installed) or because none of its backends resolve: that route kept
a terminate listener and now gets none.

The backend resolution, its watches and the RBAC rules that served them
go away.

With Cilium at 1.20.2 the tenant gateway comments, README and one
status message still explained behaviour as that of "the pin" at
1.19.5. Several of those claims no longer hold: a Gateway with two
routed passthrough ports now gets an Envoy listener per port, Cilium
judges a route's kinds against the listener the route names, and the
shipped operator accepts an HTTPS and a passthrough listener on one
port when the passthrough hostname is strictly narrower.

Behaviour that is unchanged is re-anchored on the 1.20.2 source,
behaviour that is gone is stated as history, and the refusal of one
hostname on two passthrough ports no longer blames a Cilium limitation
the shipped release does not have.

LGTM as of d9689bd, thanks!

Reserving the name by the spec is much simpler than the old TLSRoute-plus-backend check, and getting rid of the cluster-wide Service and ReferenceGrant watches is a nice bonus. Scoping tlsPassthroughServices to the publishing tenant is what makes it safe on upgrade.

What I checked:

  • rendered the gateway chart for the publishing and a child tenant, with gateway-enabled on and off, different expose-services, a non-default expose-ingress and an edge class. The passthrough list always matches the conditions of the three platform TLSRoute templates.
  • Cilium v1.20.2 builds supportedFeatures from features.AllFeatures and TLSRoute is not in its exempt list, so the shipped cilium class never gets GatewayClassUnsupported.
  • services and referencegrants are still readable through the catch-all read rule after removing them from the ClusterRole.
  • go test for internal/controller/tenantgateway and helm unittest for gateway, cozystack-controller, cozystack-api, kubevirt and kubevirt-cdi are green.

nit: the controller and the tenant gateway charts are upgraded by different releases. Until a child tenant's gateway release re-renders, the new controller still sees the old tlsPassthroughServices there and reserves api, vm-exportproxy and cdi-uploadproxy under that child's apex. It heals by itself and only hits a child HTTPRoute on one of these three names, but maybe worth a line in the upgrade notes.

expose-ingress being both the ingress class and the publishing namespace is pre-existing, I'd open a follow-up issue for it.

Has to land together with #3343.
