The e2e-gcp-operator job's cluster profile leases from more than one GCP project, and they are not equivalently permissioned. Measured on 2026-09-15 with testIamPermissions, in openshift-gce-devel-ci-3 the cluster-profile account holds thirteen of the fifteen permissions the estate needs and is denied networkconnectivity.hubs.create and networkconnectivity.hubs.delete. It can list hubs and spokes, so the denial is narrow rather than a missing NCC role.

Learning a role one PERMISSION_DENIED per run costs a cluster install per permission, and a run that got no further than its first resource could say nothing about whether anything else was missing. This asks for the whole list at once, before anything is built, and prints the answer whether or not it passes. A green run that names what it was allowed to do means something; one that merely failed to fail does not.

hack/ci-e2e-gcp.sh is what the job's test step already runs, so this fills in an entry point that does not exist on main yet. It creates nothing and removes nothing, so it needs no teardown half and no signal handling. The estate scripts and the Ginkgo suite land on top of it in #124, which is where the rest of this work is.

testIamPermissions rather than a policy read: get-iam-policy needs resourcemanager.projects.getIamPolicy, which an account can itself be denied, and answers in roles that would then have to be expanded into permissions here. This needs no permission of its own and answers in the same vocabulary the denials use. It goes over REST because gcloud has no surface for it on a project, checked against 565.0.0: gcloud projects test-iam-permissions is not a command, and gcloud iam list-testable-permissions answers what may be granted on the resource rather than what the caller holds. curl is already required by hack/gcp/ensure-cli.sh.

hack/gcp/ci.sh is deliberately standalone rather than built on hack/lib/ci.sh. That file is the AWS bootstrap: it sources hack/aws/lib.sh and its ci_bootstrap installs the aws CLI, so reusing it would mean refactoring the AWS path in order to add a GCP preflight. The kubeconfig and workdir handling is duplicated as a result, about a dozen lines, and the two should be folded together when the rest of the GCP job lands and the split is worth doing.

Test plan

Seventeen new cases in hack/lib-test.sh, which make test-scripts runs. They were written first and failed for the right reason before the library existed; the suite is now 96 passing, up from 79. They cover the probe returning the held subset, exact whole-name matching so compute.routers.get does not read as held because compute.routers.getIamPolicy is, holding nothing being a different outcome from being unable to ask, and the report naming every denial rather than the first.

Run for real against a live cluster in openshift-qe, where it reported all fifteen granted and exited 0. That is also what confirms every permission name is one GCP recognises, since an unrecognised one comes back as INVALID_ARGUMENT rather than as "not held":

cluster:  amcdermo-2609151040-788nh
project:  openshift-qe
region:   us-east1

permissions:
  granted  compute.firewalls.create
  ...
  granted  networkconnectivity.hubs.create
  granted  networkconnectivity.hubs.delete
  granted  networkconnectivity.hubs.list
  granted  networkconnectivity.spokes.list

OK   this credential can build the GCP estate

The denial path was exercised against a stubbed response and reports both missing permissions and exits 1 without creating anything.

The e2e-gcp job's cluster profile leases from more than one GCP project
and they are not equivalently permissioned. Measured on 2026-09-15 with
testIamPermissions: in openshift-gce-devel-ci-3 the cluster-profile
account holds thirteen of the fifteen permissions the estate needs and
is denied networkconnectivity.hubs.create and
networkconnectivity.hubs.delete. It can list hubs and spokes, so the
denial is narrow rather than a missing NCC role.

Learning a role one PERMISSION_DENIED per run costs a cluster install
per permission, and a run that got no further than the first resource
could say nothing about whether anything else was missing. So ask for
the whole list at once, before anything is built, and print the answer
whether or not it passes -- a green run that names what it was allowed
to do means something, where one that merely failed to fail does not.

testIamPermissions rather than a policy read: get-iam-policy needs
resourcemanager.projects.getIamPolicy, which an account can itself be
denied, and answers in roles that would have to be expanded into
permissions here. This needs no permission of its own and answers in the
same vocabulary the denials use. It goes over REST because gcloud has no
surface for it on a project -- checked against 565.0.0, where `gcloud
projects test-iam-permissions` is not a command and `gcloud iam
list-testable-permissions` answers what may be granted on the resource
rather than what the caller holds. curl is already required by
ensure-cli.sh.

The answer is matched as whole quoted names. The closing quote is what
stops compute.routers.get reading as held because
compute.routers.getIamPolicy is.

hack/gcp/ci.sh is deliberately standalone rather than built on
hack/lib/ci.sh, which is the AWS bootstrap: reusing it would mean
refactoring the AWS path to add a GCP preflight. The two should be
folded together when the estate scripts and the e2e suite land on top of
this.

Verified against a live cluster in openshift-qe: all fifteen reported
granted and the script exited 0, which also confirms every permission
name is one GCP recognises.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds GCP CI support through credential and kubeconfig bootstrap, isolated gcloud configuration, and Google Cloud CLI installation. Adds shared helpers that extract cluster facts and validate required GCP IAM permissions through the Cloud Resource Manager API. Adds a GCP end-to-end entrypoint that validates the cluster and platform before checking estate permissions. Adds tests for query handling, cluster facts, permission discovery, enforcement, and the estate permission list.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9506b

The GCP job should authenticate its downloaded CLI before execution and ensure bootstrap failures clean up temporary state before this is merged.

e2e-gcp-operator is red on this PR, and that is the change working rather than failing. It ran in build 2099873069785944064, reported thirteen of fifteen permissions granted, and stopped on networkconnectivity.hubs.create and networkconnectivity.hubs.delete being denied. That is a real property of the leased GCP project, not of this code: two of the three projects behind openshift-org-gcp deny those two permissions, and the third allows them only because its provisioner holds roles/admin. The job is optional: true and does not gate.

It is worth looking at what the run cost. The preflight finished 42 seconds after the install step, because it creates nothing and skips the frr-k8s wait it does not need. The same denial on #124 burned fifteen minutes of Ginkgo timeout and reported one PERMISSION_DENIED with nothing said about the rest of the role.

The permission gap itself is being chased separately in openshift/release#85216 and in the thread on #124. This PR does not fix it and does not try to; it makes the failure legible and fast, and it will report the same table in green once the grant lands.
