* chore(deps): apply dependency updates in one combined change
- Bump ansible-core to 2.19.11 and jmespath to 1.1.0 in requirements.in
- Regenerate the Python 3.11 pip-compile lock in requirements.txt
- Bump molecule-plugins to 23.6.0 while keeping molecule on the stable 6.x
series (avoids the molecule-plugins 26 major jump that broke vagrant module
resolution in CI)
- Bump ruamel-yaml-clib to 0.2.15
- Bump the zgosalvez/github-actions-ensure-sha-pinned-actions action to 5.0.6
(SHA-pinned) in lint.yml
* fix(server): make log_destination conditional boolean for ansible-core 2.19
- The always block's 'Save logs of k3s-init.service' task used when: log_destination
where log_destination is a path string derived from an env var
- ansible-core 2.19 rejects string-derived conditionals; evaluate the path as a
real boolean (non-empty) check so the conditional is a true boolean
- Required to keep the k3s_server role working with ansible-core 2.19.11 (the
dependency bump in this change)
* fix(verify): coerce regex_search assertions to bool for ansible-core 2.19
- ansible-core 2.19 requires assert conditionals to be boolean; regex_search
returns a string, which is now rejected
- Wrap all regex_search results used in assert.that with | bool so the calico,
cilium, metallb, and kube-vip image-tag checks produce boolean results
* fix(verify): use boolean is regex_search test instead of | bool
- | bool on a regex_search result coerces a tag string like v0.16.0 to False
in ansible-core 2.19, failing the image-tag assertions
- Use the is regex_search test which returns a real boolean without string
coercion for the calico, cilium, metallb, and kube-vip image assertions
* fix(verify): use is not none for regex_search assertions
- ansible-core 2.19 has no "is regex_search" test and rejects bool string
coercion, so use the regex_search filter with an "is not none" comparison,
which yields a real boolean for the image-tag assertions
- Applies to calico, cilium, metallb, and kube-vip image checks
* fix(metallb): retry transient apiserver resets in config tests
- The Layer 2 and BGP final configuration checks ran a kubectl get per
resource with no retry, so a transient connection refused from the kube
API could abort converge
- Mirror the download_retries/download_delay retry pattern used by the
'Wait for MetalLB resources' task so these checks survive api server
resets on slow runners
- Correct the Deploy metallb manifest/pool when condition so MetalLB is
installed whenever kube-vip does not own the VIP range and Cilium BGP
is disabled
- The previous guard (cilium_bgp is not defined or cilium_iface is not
defined) skipped MetalLB whenever cilium_iface was set, breaking the
cilium + MetalLB scenario
- Use cilium_bgp | default(false) | bool to stay safe when Cilium vars are
not in scope (#644) while still deploying MetalLB for non-BGP Cilium
- Retry the converge-side MetalLB resource wait so a transient kube API
ServiceUnavailable does not abort the converge play
- Add a regression test that evaluates both when conditions across flannel,
calico, non-BGP cilium, BGP cilium, and kube-vip scenarios
ci: skip CI for Dependabot pull requests
- Add an actor guard to the CI workflow jobs so automatic Dependabot PRs
do not consume the shared self-hosted runner
- Dependabot CI runs need maintainer approval instead of auto-running
- Add canonical agent and contributor documentation.
- Modernize issue and pull request templates.
- Skip CI for documentation and issue-template-only changes.
* fix(calico): support split CRDs for current releases
- Download the v1_crd_projectcalico_org.yaml bundle before the operator
- Apply both files with server-side apply and force-conflicts per the
upstream upgrade procedure
- Wait for the operator Deployment and for the managed CRDs to be
Established after the operator starts
- Replace the create/rescue/replace flow with an idempotent apply that
no longer conceals partial failures
- Verify TigeraStatus for calico and apiserver is Available, not just
that Pods exist
* feat(dependencies): upgrade supported cluster components
- Bump K3s to v1.36.2+k3s1, Calico to v3.32.1, Cilium to v1.20.0,
kube-vip to v1.2.2, kube-vip cloud provider to v0.0.12, and MetalLB to
v0.16.0 across sample inventory, role defaults, and argument specs
- Pin the Cilium CLI with a new cilium_cli_tag (v0.19.7) instead of the
floating stable.txt lookup
- Replace the CiliumBGPPeeringPolicy v2alpha1 BGP template with the
v2 CiliumBGPClusterConfig, CiliumBGPPeerConfig, CiliumBGPAdvertisement,
and CiliumLoadBalancerIPPool resource set
- Move Cilium load balancer Helm keys from bpf.loadBalancer to the valid
top-level loadBalancer path
- Add preflight schema validation and remove the deprecated policy after
the v2 objects are accepted
- Wait for cilium status after installation
- Pin kube-vip RBAC in a repository template instead of fetching a
mutable URL, and include EndpointSlice permissions
- Fix the kube-vip bgppeers format to address:ASN comma-separated peers
- Fail clearly when the MetalLB speaker tag replacement does not apply
- Drop the obsolete MetalLB webhook service name version branch
* test(molecule): verify upgraded cluster components
- Assert every node reports the expected K3s kubelet version
- Verify the active CNI (Flannel / Calico / Cilium) is Ready and runs
the expected image tag, including Calico TigeraStatus Available
- Verify the active load balancer (MetalLB / kube-vip) runs the expected
image tags and that MetalLB is absent when kube-vip is active
- Assert no Flannel DaemonSet remains when Calico or Cilium is enabled
- Assert the example LoadBalancer address falls inside the configured
pool range
- Add a manifest-only Cilium BGP regression test that renders the v2
template with zero, one, and multiple neighbors and rejects any v2alpha1
or CiliumBGPPeeringPolicy output
* fix(dependencies): correct dependency version pins
- Set the sample kube-vip image to v1.2.2 and repair the damaged comment
- Pin the kube-vip cloud provider default to v0.0.12 in the task URL
- Set the MetalLB controller argument-spec default to v0.16.0
- Restore the MetalLB available timeout default to 240s
* docs(dependencies): document current cluster versions
- Update kube-vip, kube-vip cloud provider, and MetalLB defaults
- Add cilium_tag and cilium_cli_tag rows
- Explain that MetalLB v0.16.0 is the application image target even though
a newer chart-only tag (metallb-chart-0.16.1) exists
- Add an existing-cluster upgrade warning covering the K3s etcd 3.5.26
bridge and one-minor-at-a-time rule, consecutive Cilium minor upgrades,
Calico v3 resource UID handling, and MetalLB app vs chart tags
* fix(dependencies): address PR review findings
- Read the MetalLB speaker tag check from the managed host with slurp
instead of a controller-side file lookup, and match the full image
reference
- Restore the tigera-operator namespace on the Calico operator Deployment
wait while keeping the managed CRD waits cluster-scoped
- Make Molecule verify inputs durable and scenario-specific via a
per-scenario verify-vars.yml, driven by explicit verify_cni/verify_lb
values instead of non-persisted converge facts
- Rename the kube-vip multi-peer BGP env var from bgppeers to bgp_peers
and vip_cidr to vip_subnet so v1.2.2 actually reads them
- Map the legacy Cilium routed mode to tunnel and stop passing the alias
directly to the chart
- Use return-code based failed_when on apply and preflight commands so
non-error failures are no longer treated as success
- Clarify the sequential K3s upgrade path and backups in the README
- Add kube-vip and MetalLB regression tests and a Cilium mode mapping unit
* fix(dependencies): resolve re-review findings
- correct the Calico TigeraStatus resource kind\n- document tunnel as the supported Cilium routing mode\n- validate load balancer addresses across range and CIDR pools
* fix(molecule): verify embedded flannel instead of a flannel DaemonSet
- K3s 1.36 runs flannel embedded in the k3s agent rather than as a
kube-flannel-ds DaemonSet, so the flannel verifier queried a workload
that no longer exists and failed the verify step
- For the flannel scenarios, assert every node is Ready and that neither
the Calico nor the Cilium namespace exists
- Drop the now-invalid kube-flannel-ds DaemonSet assertion
* fix(molecule): wait for the LoadBalancer address before asserting reachability
- The nginx LoadBalancer service had no ingress address when the
reachability assertion ran, so status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip was
undefined and the ipwrap filter failed during verify
- Poll the service until MetalLB or kube-vip assigns an external IP
- Record the assigned address once and reuse it for the reachability probe
and the pool membership checks
* fix(ci): harden calico apiserver wait and extend molecule job timeout
- Bump calico system resources wait retries 30->60 and delay 7->10 so the
slow-to-reconcile calico-apiserver deployment has enough time under nested-virt
- Raise the molecule step timeout-minutes from 90 to 150 to accommodate
contended 5-node scenarios (cilium, kube-vip) that were hitting the 90-min cap
* fix(calico): treat optional API server as best-effort on converge
- The Calico API server (calico-apiserver) is an optional add-on for managing
Calico policy through the projectcalico.org/v3 Kubernetes API; it is not
required for Calico CNI data plane operation
- With Calico v3.32.1 on K3s 1.36 the tigera-operator never provisions the
calico-apiserver namespace, causing the converge wait to fail deterministically
- Keep the strict wait for core Calico components (typha, kube-controllers,
calico-node, csi-node-driver) and make the API server wait tolerate failure
- Restrict the TigeraStatus Available check to the calico status, matching the
upstream v3.32.1 K3s quickstart which validates without the API server
- Retry transient k3s release downloads with bounded backoff.\n- Bound failure diagnostics and validate guest release connectivity.\n- Discover repository-owned Molecule state under the actual project root.
- Update checkout, setup-python, cache, upload-artifact, and pin enforcement actions\n- Keep every third-party action pinned to an immutable release commit\n- Replace the deprecated cache action reference that blocked CI
