What is being changed?

Adds support for specifying Kubernetes pod affinity rules (k8s_pod_affinity) on Activations, following the same pattern already used for k8s_pod_tolerations and k8s_pod_node_selector. When set, the value is validated for structural shape and passed through to the pod spec of the Kubernetes Job created for the activation.

Why is this change needed?

Refs ansible/eda-server-operator#226

How does this change address the issue?

Adds a k8s_pod_affinity field to the Activation model, exposes it through the relevant serializers, and applies it to the V1PodSpec built by the Kubernetes container engine when starting an activation.

Files:

  • src/aap_eda/core/models/activation.py — add k8s_pod_affinity field
  • src/aap_eda/core/migrations/0074_activation_k8s_pod_affinity.py — migration for the new field
  • src/aap_eda/core/validators.py — add check_if_k8s_pod_affinity_valid shape validator
  • src/aap_eda/api/serializers/activation.py — expose k8s_pod_affinity across the activation serializers
  • src/aap_eda/services/activation/engine/common.py — pass k8s_pod_affinity through to ContainerRequest
  • src/aap_eda/services/activation/engine/kubernetes.py — apply k8s_pod_affinity to the pod spec built for activation job pods

Does this change introduce any new dependencies, blockers or breaking changes?

The field is optional and defaults to empty, matching existing behavior when unset.

How it was tested?

Automated tests:

  • tests/unit/test_k8s_pod_affinity.py — shape validation
  • tests/integration/services/activation/engine/test_kubernetes.py — affinity applied to the pod spec by the Kubernetes engine, with and without affinity set
  • tests/integration/api/test_activation.py — activation start-validation with k8s_pod_affinity set
  • tests/integration/services/activation/test_activation.pyk8s_pod_affinity passed through to ContainerRequest

Manual testing:
Verified against a real Kubernetes cluster that Activations created with k8s_pod_affinity are scheduled onto nodes matching the specified affinity rules, and that changing the affinity value correctly moves the pod to the matching node. Also verified that when k8s_pod_affinity is not set, no affinity is applied to the pod spec, leaving the scheduling decision entirely up to the cluster's scheduler as before.

Activations store k8s_pod_affinity. Serializers accept, expose, copy, restore, and validate the field.
Affinity propagation to Kubernetes pods
src/aap_eda/services/activation/engine/common.py, src/aap_eda/services/activation/engine/kubernetes.py
ContainerRequest carries affinity data. The Kubernetes engine passes non-empty affinity data to V1PodSpec.

tests/unit/test_k8s_pod_affinity.py, tests/integration/api/test_activation.py, tests/integration/services/activation/test_activation.py, tests/integration/services/activation/engine/test_kubernetes.py
Tests cover validator behavior, activation validity, API persistence, request propagation, Kubernetes pod affinity, and the empty default.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 98a31

This adds optional Kubernetes pod affinity configuration for activations while retaining existing scheduling behavior when unset. The change is covered across its validation, API, propagation, and pod-spec paths, with no current merge-blocking risk identified.

Return affinity from ActivationReadSerializer.to_representation.

This method builds the detail response manually. It does not add k8s_pod_affinity, despite Line 1186 listing it in Meta.fields. Detail GET responses therefore omit the new API field.

Add k8s_pod_affinity to ActivationUpdateSerializer.

ActivationUpdateSerializer does not declare or list this field. A submitted affinity value is not deserialized, so an update cannot set or clear it. refill_needed_data only preserves the stored value when the request omits it.

Also add the field to this serializer’s to_representation result.

I noticed the e2e tests (single-node and multinode) failed and wanted to make sure it wasn't something introduced by this PR, so I dug into it a bit.

Reproducing locally

docker compose -p eda -f tools/docker/docker-compose-dev.yaml build
docker compose -p eda -f tools/docker/docker-compose-dev.yaml up -d
docker compose -p eda -f tools/docker/docker-compose-dev.yaml logs eda-api

The eda-api container exits with code 2, and the last log line is:
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified

This comes from scripts/common/logging.sh (sourced by scripts/create_superuser.sh, which is part of the eda-api container's startup command). Since the script runs with set -o errexit, that tput failure aborts the script, which in turn breaks the whole startup chain (migrate && create_initial_data && create_superuser.sh && runserver).

Checking if it's related to this PR

I ran the exact same commands against a clean checkout of main , and got the identical failure, same error, same exit code. So it doesn't look related to the changes in this PR.

I also checked the git history for TERM in docker-compose-dev.yaml/Dockerfile and didn't find it ever being set there. I didn't do a full bisect, so I can't say for certain how long this has been broken, but i didn't find something that points to a recent regression, it looks like it may have been like this for a while

Happy to open a separate issue/PR for this if it's useful
