Add the Azure e2e job: estate scripts, in-cluster credentials, and the suite

[frobware]

The test step of e2e-azure-operator runs hack/ci-e2e-azure.sh. Everything that script needs is here: the Route Server estate scripts, Azure credential resolution inside the operator, a correctness fix in peering reconciliation, and test/e2e/azure.

Fifteen commits, each of which builds and passes its own tests on its own. To review only the product change, read three of them:

• Resolve Azure credentials from the cluster when the pod has none
• Give the Azure clients the credential the operator resolved
• Rewrite a Route Server peering Azure did not apply

The other twelve are test and CI plumbing and change nothing the operator does in production.

Operator changes

• Credentials. The operator raises a CredentialsRequest, reports ErrCredentialsPending until the cloud credential operator mints the secret, and picks ClientSecretCredential or WorkloadIdentityCredential from the fields that secret carries. All three Azure clients take that credential rather than building their own, which is what makes spec.azure.networkInterfaceClientID mean anything.
• Why not azidentity's default chain. An ordinary pod on IPI cannot reach IMDS (curl rc 7, against a token on the host network) and a default install has no service account issuer, so the chain has nothing to find.
• RBAC, both halves. config/rbac for make deploy, and the ClusterServiceVersion regenerated from it for OLM. Without the CSV rule a bundle install is forbidden the secret and fails before it can raise the request at all.
• Peering reconciliation. Only provisioningState: Succeeded counts as a peering in place. A write Azure refuses keeps the name, peer IP and peer ASN and records Failed, so comparing those three cannot tell a peering that failed to apply from a working one -- which is how a configuration reported Ready with all six conditions True whilst four of six BGP sessions were Established. Every other state is now treated as absent and rewritten.

Estate scripts, hack/azure/

• Creates the Route Server and its subnet and stops there. The peerings are the operator's work and the suite asserts on them, so building them here would let a completely broken operator look identical to a working one.
• One Route Server per virtual network, presenting a redundant address pair, which is why Azure discovery emits one peer group where AWS emits one per availability zone.
• Widens the vnet by a /26, because Azure demands a dedicated subnet named exactly RouteServerSubnet at minimum /26 and openshift-install splits the whole address space between masters and workers.
• Tags both the added prefix and the created subnet as ours. The teardown removes each only where that tag exists, so it never takes address space or a subnet that was there before it arrived.
• Every read goes through az_query, which fails rather than handing back an empty answer, so an expired login is never mistaken for an absent resource.
• Every mutating delete retries AnotherOperationInProgress on a half-hour budget: cancelling a job does not cancel what Azure is already doing.
• Idempotent in both directions; a second create adopts an existing estate in 11s.

Suite, test/e2e/azure

Separate from the shared suite, which derives its expectations from spec.bgp.peerGroups, forbidden by the CRD on a cloud platform. Five specs in an Ordered container, setup in BeforeAll so any one runs alone under --focus:

• E2E-AZURE-01 -- the configuration reaches Ready with one peer group carrying both Route Server addresses at ASN 65515, one peering per router node at the cluster's ASN, IP forwarding enabled on every router interface, and a BGP session Established from every node
• E2E-AZURE-02 -- a peering deleted behind the operator's back through the Azure API is rebuilt and the session re-establishes
• E2E-AZURE-03 -- IP forwarding turned off on a router node's interface is turned back on
• E2E-AZURE-04 -- a node taken out of the router selector loses its peering, and gets it back when the labels return
• E2E-AZURE-05 -- deleting the configuration is refused while the routing CR still exists, and once that goes every peering is removed

Three choices worth knowing about:

• It talks to Azure through the SDK rather than the operator's own RouteServerBackend: a suite that observes through the code under test cannot see a fault in that code.
• Sessions are asserted Established rather than FRR pods Running, which is all the AWS suite checks despite saying otherwise.
• Cleanup runs at the start of a run and nowhere else, so a failure leaves the estate standing to be read. On failure the suite prints the conditions, the estate and the manager log before anything tears down.

CI entry points

• ci-e2e-azure-run.sh creates and never removes, ci-e2e-azure-teardown.sh removes and never creates, and ci-e2e-azure.sh is the only file that knows both exist.
• Teardown is a step of its own rather than a trap, because prow sends TERM and then KILL and a killed shell runs no trap. On Azure a Route Server left behind holds the subnet, which holds the vnet, which the deprovision then cannot remove.
• hack/lib/ci.sh is cloud-neutral, with hack/aws/ci.sh and hack/azure/ci.sh beside it. AWS output and exit codes are unchanged, diffed against a git archive of the tree before the split.

Requires openshift/release#84831, merged: the azure-e2e-runner image and grace_period: 1h0m0s.

CI result

e2e-azure-operator is green on a 4.23 cluster in northcentralus installed from the bundle: Ran 5 of 5 Specs in 1747.889 seconds, SUCCESS! -- 5 Passed | 0 Failed | 0 Pending | 0 Skipped.

The Route Server came up at 10.1.0.5 and 10.1.0.4 on ASN 65515, three workers were labelled as router nodes, and the generated profile named the estate with the subscription id redacted. The teardown reported no peerings, removed the Route Server, the public IP, RouteServerSubnet and the /26 it added, and left the address space at 10.0.0.0/16 -- the cluster as openshift-install built it.

Phase	Duration
Cluster install	38m42s
pre total, install plus workflow checks	41m54s
enable-frr	2m17s
install, the bundle install	1m0s
test, hack/ci-e2e-azure.sh	54m25s
of which the Ginkgo suite	29m08s
post, gather and deprovision	21m53s
Job total	2h32m28s

Budget about two and a half hours end to end. Roughly a third is this branch's own step; the rest is image builds, the cluster it needs, and gathering and destroying that cluster afterwards.

Test plan

• Suite, desk cluster. All five specs against a 4.22.12 IPI cluster in centralus with three router nodes: Ran 5 of 5 Specs in 1555.458 seconds, 5 Passed | 0 Failed.
• Re-runnability. Same cluster, twice back to back with no intervention: 1817s then 1705s, both ending with no CRs, no namespace and no peerings, and the estate still standing.
• Credentials from nothing. No request and no secret at the start: the operator running as its own ServiceAccount with no ambient credential raised a CredentialsRequest, read the minted secret, and reconciled to six conditions True and six BGP sessions Established.
• Writes, proved separately. Adopting an existing estate only exercises reads, so a peering was deleted behind the operator's back: rebuilt 63 seconds later, BGP back to six of six within three and a half minutes.
• Teardown, against a live vnet. Left it at 10.0.0.0/16 with the installer's two subnets and tags, no Route Server in the subscription and no orphaned public IP. A prefix the scripts did not add survives; one they did add goes with its tag.
• Unit. hack/lib-test.sh carries 129 assertions with oc, aws and az stubbed. The Azure platform package has 45 Go tests, 12 of them on credential resolution.

Still unexercised on a cluster: the workload identity branch. Its type selection is unit-tested only, because a passthrough cluster has no service account issuer.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change separates shared CI behavior from AWS-specific setup and adds Azure CI authentication helpers. It adds Azure credential resolution, Route Server creation and deletion, readiness checks, profile generation, and Azure end-to-end orchestration. It adds Azure client credential injection and failed-peering reconciliation. Tests cover shell helpers, Azure credentials, Route Server behavior, recovery, diagnostics, and cleanup. Docker build contexts now exclude Git metadata.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 189a9

Teardown can remove an externally owned Azure subnet and disrupt dependent resources. Track subnet ownership before merging.

Run the second ci_azure_credentials call in a subshell and record stub calls outside it.

ci_azure_credentials exports AZURE_CONFIG_DIR, and its die paths call exit 1. A direct call can therefore modify or terminate the test harness. A subshell avoids both effects, but az_calls changes will not propagate to the parent shell. Store the stub output in a file instead.

require_cmd uses command -v, so the previously defined az shell function satisfies require_cmd az; a real az binary is not required.

@coderabbitai review

All five findings from the previous review are addressed. Four in the commits pushed since:

• jq -er in hack/azure/ci.sh, verified first that jq -r on a missing key prints null and exits 0. The client secret is read into a guarded local rather than interpolated inline.
• azure_cluster_facts no longer folds stderr into infra, rg and net_rg. This also exposed a fixture writing oc's errors to stdout, which is not what oc does; the stub is corrected.
• Address prefix ownership. Rather than persisting state separately, the create tags the vnet bgp-cloud-connector-added-prefix-<infra> in the same az call that widens it, and the teardown removes a prefix only when that tag names it. Adopting a prefix that was already there writes no tag. That also removed the fallback guess, which was the real defect. Verified against a live vnet both ways: an untagged prefix survives the teardown, where the previous code removed it; a tagged one is removed together with its tag, leaving the installer's own tags intact.
• Subscription id out of the logs, in both scripts and in the profile the run script echoes. The cluster, resource group and vnet names stay: they name resources that live for one job, hack/aws/create-route-servers.sh prints the infra id already, and removing them would leave a log that cannot be used for debugging.

And the fifth, which I missed on the first pass: every command printed for a human to paste omitted AZURE_NETWORK_RESOURCE_GROUP, so on a cluster installed into a vnet it does not own the pasted teardown would search the wrong group and leave the subnet and prefix behind. Fixed in all five places, usage headers included.

Both nitpicks taken. The SC2329 suppression is on the stub this branch adds; the eight other occurrences in that file predate it and the group shellcheck run the repo uses does not report them.

Not changed, deliberately: aws_cluster_facts in hack/aws/lib.sh has the identical stderr bug. It predates this branch and does not belong in an Azure change.

The estate scripts have been exercised end to end on a live Azure cluster since the last review: create 910s, adopt on rerun 11s, six of six BGP sessions Established with the operator built from this branch, teardown 417s leaving the vnet byte for byte as the installer built it.

@frobware The five previous findings are addressed. I verified the jq -er guards, azure_cluster_facts stderr handling, VNet prefix ownership tag, subscription redaction, and AZURE_NETWORK_RESOURCE_GROUP propagation.

I found one remaining ownership issue:

• hack/azure/create-route-server.sh adopts an existing RouteServerSubnet at Line 240.
• hack/azure/delete-route-server.sh deletes any existing RouteServerSubnet at Line 253.

If an externally owned VNet already has RouteServerSubnet, a run adopts it. The teardown then deletes that subnet without evidence that this script created it. The prefix tag does not protect the subnet. Track subnet ownership when creation succeeds, or preserve an adopted subnet during teardown. Add a test for this case.

591-593: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Guard the Azure clients before dumpAzure queries Azure.

dumpEverything checks only k8sClient and clientset (Line 419). peeringClient and nicClient are assigned at Lines 138-140, after the Expect calls at Lines 134-137. If NewDefaultAzureCredential or NewClientFactory fails, BeforeSuite aborts with both Azure clients still nil. ReportAfterSuite then calls dumpEverything, dumpAzure calls managedPeerings, and peeringClient.NewListPager dereferences a nil receiver. The reporting node panics and replaces the credential failure that you need to read. An absent or expired Azure login in CI reaches this path.

peeringPrefix is also empty when the Infrastructure read at Lines 147-152 fails, so managedPeerings then reports every peering on the Route Server. Check it in the same guard.

🛡️ Proposed guard

 func dumpAzure(ctx context.Context) {
 	say("--- Azure ---")
+	if peeringClient == nil || nicClient == nil || peeringPrefix == "" {
+		say("  unavailable: the Azure clients were never built")
+		return
+	}
 	peerings, err := managedPeerings(ctx)

I had to skip hack/ to save some time on the review. The rest (operator and e2e) was reviewed mostly to understand the changes. LGTM, just one remark about the ownership of the CredentialsRequest (can be addressed in a dedicated PR).

[alebedev87]

So the credentials request object is not owned by anybody. This means that after the operator uninstall it'll remain and the cloud identity provisioned for it too. A simple ownerReference to BGPCloudCOnfiguration may help to auto garbage collect it. But this can be addressed as a dedicated PR since this behavior is consistent with AWS platform's.

[frobware]

Agreed. Done in #143 (draft). It sits on top of this branch rather than on main alone, so it covers Azure and AWS in one change -- internal/platform/azure/credentials.go only exists here, so until this merges that diff carries these fifteen commits too.

The configuration is cluster scoped, which is what lets it own the request in openshift-cloud-credential-operator; the ban on crossing namespaces applies to namespaced owners. Reconciling also adopts a request that has no owner, so clusters installed before the change are repaired rather than left as they are. blockOwnerDeletion stays unset, or ownerReferencesPermissionEnforcement would require the operator to hold delete on bgpcloudconfigurations/finalizers.

One caveat worth naming: an operator uninstall does not delete the BGPCloudConfiguration, so an uninstall on its own still leaves the request behind. What this fixes is that deleting the configuration now collects it.

Verified before and after on live AWS and Azure clusters, and end to end in-cluster with the packaged image: the request carries the reference, and deleting the configuration collects it along with the secret CCO wrote.

I'm suggesting some small optimizations but other that that LGTM 🥳

Thanks @frobware

Don't we risk to retrigger the reconcile loop for nothing here because of reflect.DeepEqual(existing.Object["spec"], desired.Object["spec"]) ?

Suggested change

	}
	// reconcileCredentialsRequest brings the request to what we want it to
	// be, rather than creating it once. An administrator narrowing the
	// permissions, or this operator widening them in a later release, would
	// otherwise leave the cluster serving a request nobody wrote.
	//
	// It uses a server-side apply, so the API server owns the merge: the
	// object is created if absent and updated if present, only the fields
	// this operator sets are touched, and any field the cloud credential
	// operator defaults in is left alone. That makes the apply idempotent --
	// re-applying the same content is a no-op rather than a write every
	// reconcile -- while ForceOwnership reclaims a field an administrator
	// edited by hand, which is the drift this function exists to repair.
	func reconcileCredentialsRequest(ctx context.Context, c client.Client, namespace string) error {
	desired := desiredCredentialsRequest(namespace)
	if err := c.Patch(ctx, desired, client.Apply,
	client.FieldOwner(credentialsFieldOwner), client.ForceOwnership); err != nil {
	return fmt.Errorf("applying CredentialsRequest %s: %w", CredentialsRequestName, err)
	}
	log.FromContext(ctx).Info("ensured the request for Azure credentials",
	"credentialsRequest", CredentialsRequestName, "secret", CredentialsSecretName)
	return nil
	}

[frobware]

Measured on a live cluster. The operator runs in-cluster from an image; reconciles are on a 30s timer.

No write occurs after the create. Window 10:16:14Z to 10:37:21Z, object untouched:

$ oc get credentialsrequest -n openshift-cloud-credential-operator bgp-cloud-connector-azure \
    -o jsonpath='{.metadata.resourceVersion} {.metadata.generation} {.status.provisioned}'
76463 3 true

$ oc logs -n openshift-bgp-cloud-connector deploy/openshift-bgp-cloud-connector-controller-manager \
    --since-time=2026-09-18T10:16:14Z | grep -c '"Phase 1'
42
$ ... | grep -c 'updated the request for Azure credentials'
0

An earlier window, from the object's creationTimestamp 09:42:44Z to 10:12:28Z: 62 reconciles, 1 create, 0 updates, resourceVersion 66528 throughout, including after CCO added its deprovision finalizer, set status.provisioned and wrote the secret.

The update path still fires on drift. Narrowing spec.providerSpec.permissions to one entry with oc patch:

before:   rv=75814 permissions=6
narrowed: rv=75903 permissions=1
+40s:     rv=75960 permissions=6
+80s:     rv=75960 permissions=6

{"ts":"2026-09-18T10:14:16Z","level":"info","msg":"updated the request for Azure credentials",
 "credentialsRequest":"bgp-cloud-connector-azure"}

One write, then nothing.

Nothing on the round trip can make the comparison fail:

$ oc get crd credentialsrequests.cloudcredential.openshift.io \
    -o jsonpath='{.spec.versions[0].schema.openAPIV3Schema.properties.spec}' | grep -o '"default"' | wc -l
0

and x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields is set on spec.providerSpec, so the sub-object this builds is neither pruned nor defaulted.

A write to the CredentialsRequest cannot enqueue a reconcile either. SetupWithManager watches BGPCloudConfiguration, Node and BGPRouting. Tested against the 30s cadence, with the configuration as a positive control:

10:13:15  writing to BGPCloudConfiguration (control)
10:13:18  reconcile after 1s        <- watched
10:13:45  writing to CredentialsRequest
10:13:57  no reconcile within 6s    <- not watched

On the apply itself: it is one request instead of two, and the API server owns the merge. Measured with oc apply --server-side --field-manager=bgp-cloud-connector --force-conflicts, same content each time:

rv before: 76361
apply 1:   rv=76463
apply 2:   rv=76463
apply 3:   rv=76463
apply 4:   rv=76463

Apply 1 moves it because it takes field ownership from an object created client-side; after that it is a no-op, as the current code is. So the apply is shorter and one round trip, not a fix for repeated writes. ForceOwnership reclaims fields from every other manager unconditionally, and #143 adds an owner reference to this function. Say which you want.

Let's keep it as is for now then 😉

We don't need to iterate prefix twice

	info " (the teardown will leave it where it found it)"
	return 0
	fi
	info " adding ${rs_cidr} to ${vnet} (installer-owned; existing subnets untouched)"
	# update replaces the list wholesale, so the existing prefixes have

	local -a all=()

	[[ -n "${prefix}" ]] && all+=("${prefix}")
	done < <(print_fields "${prefixes}")

	# One pass over the address space: note whether our prefix is already

[frobware]

Done in be48f45c: one pass over the address space instead of two.

Same decisions, same output. Dry run of the pre-change and post-change scripts against a vnet holding two prefixes:

$ ROUTE_SERVER_CIDR=10.1.0.0/26 create-route-server.sh --dry-run    # present -> adopt
$ ROUTE_SERVER_CIDR=10.2.0.0/26 create-route-server.sh --dry-run    # absent  -> add
$ diff old.txt new.txt
(no differences, both paths)

On the add path the update lists every prefix: --address-prefixes 10.0.0.0/16 10.1.0.0/26 10.2.0.0/26.

Run for real against a live cluster. Before:

$ az network vnet show -g ...-rg -n ...-vnet --query addressSpace.addressPrefixes -o tsv
10.0.0.0/16

After create-route-server.sh:

10.0.0.0/16
10.1.0.0/26

tags:    bgp-cloud-connector-added-prefix-...=10.1.0.0/26
         bgp-cloud-connector-added-subnet-...=RouteServerSubnet
subnets: ...-worker-subnet 10.0.128.0/17, ...-master-subnet 10.0.0.0/17, RouteServerSubnet 10.1.0.0/26
server:  10.1.0.5, 10.1.0.4  asn=65515  provisioningState=Succeeded

The installer's /16 survived an update that replaces the list wholesale. A second run adopts every resource and writes nothing (exit 0). delete-route-server.sh then returns the vnet to 10.0.0.0/16 with both of our tags removed, RouteServerSubnet gone, and no Route Server or public IP left, which is identical to the state recorded before the first run.

Two mutations show the dry run reaches the merged loop rather than passing for want of one. Removing the have test turns the adopt path into an add whose update lists 10.0.0.0/16 twice. Removing the collection makes the update pass --address-prefixes 10.1.0.0/26 alone, dropping the installer's /16.

The [[ -n "${prefix}" ]] guard is retained, although print_fields cannot emit an empty field: word splitting discards them. shellcheck -x clean; hack/lib-test.sh 129 of 129.
