Overview

Slice 6 of 8 of #17615, which stays open as the complete, CI-validated source of truth for the Multi-Cluster Services (KEP-1645) port. Review this PR for the chart that installs the registry, the controller and the CRDs; the other slices are listed under Issues and Ongoing Work.

One chart installs either or both binaries: controller.enabled (default true) for a member cluster pointing at controller.registryUrls, registry.enabled (default false) where the registry runs (any cluster, with memory or DynamoDB store). CRDs install under crds.install with helm.sh/resource-policy: keep; set it to false where Karmada or another implementation already owns them. Resource names are fixed (mcs-registry, mcs-controller), so one release per namespace.

Key Changes

  • Add deploy/helm/charts/global-discovery-mcs: Chart.yaml, values.yaml with values.schema.json, templates for the registry (Deployment, Service, optional TLS, PDB, ServiceMonitor) and the controller (Deployment, ServiceAccount, ClusterRole rendered from files/controller-role.yaml, leader-election Role, ServiceMonitor), CRDs under templates/crds from files/crds.
  • Add 57 helm-unittest cases (tests/), including rbac_test.yaml, which pins the ClusterRole rules as a golden list so RBAC changes get reviewed.
  • Add the chart Makefile (lint, test, sync-crds, verify-crds, helm-docs) and README.md.gotmpl with the generated README.md.
  • Exclude the chart templates from the yaml hook in .pre-commit-config.yaml, as the other charts are.
  • Claim the chart directory under global-router in .github/codeowners/areas.yaml and regenerate CODEOWNERS.

Depends on (not in this PR)

Links point at the parent branch estroz/mcs-port-module (#17615), where every piece is present together.

Validation

On this branch alone: helm lint --strict on the default, full and CRD-less value sets is clean; helm unittest: 1 chart, 6 suites, 57 tests passed. make verify-crds needs slice 05's config/crd/bases and was run on the parent. build_codeowners.py --strict 7350/7350 owned, emit_codeowners.py no diff.

Every slice of #17615 was validated together at 0fd4c96b on the parent branch, from a fresh checkout of deploy/global-discovery-mcs:

  • make lint 0 issues; make test (unit plus envtest, -race, coverage gate 85 on ./internal/...) 95.7 percent; make test-integration against amazon/dynamodb-local all pass; make proto-check and make check no drift; Docker linter and tester stages exit 0.
  • Chart: make -C deploy/helm/charts/global-discovery-mcs lint test, 57 unittest cases; server-side dry run and a real install, upgrade and uninstall.
  • CI metadata: build_codeowners.py --strict 100 percent owned, emit_codeowners.py no diff, test-filters.js 87/87.
  • Docs: docs_lint.py 0 errors, fern check 0 errors, fern docs broken-links passes.
  • End-to-end on three kind clusters (make e2e E2E_PHASES="1 2 3"): 99 passed, 0 failed, 1 known gap (pool region equals cluster id until feat(global-router): take a pool's region from its EndpointSlice label in the mcs backend #17604 lands).

…ts share

dynamo-global-common holds the types that more than one Global Router
component needs, so each is defined once:
- a pool's identity and location (PoolKey, PoolId and its deriver,
  PoolLocation), from the shared crate on the global-router-v2 test branch;
- the JSON of the Global Discovery Service's HTTP API: the POST /pools body
  and its lease reply, and the pool and router lists. Today the service and
  its client each define these;
- how a router names a PoolRelay on a trusted network (address_identity),
  which the service writes into each pool's relay_identity;
- Global Router replicas, and list-and-watch events and snapshots, which
  the service and the client in #17208 both define today.

The JSON does not change. PoolKey now reads and writes
{"site_id", "namespace", "dgd_name"} and checks each field while reading.
A lease reply parses only when the heartbeat interval is above zero and
below the lease, as in the client in #17208, and the lease is at most a
day.

- A `POST /pools` body with an empty or blank `model` no longer parses, as
  with an invalid pool key, so the PoolRelay gets a 422 instead of
  registering a pool that no request can match.
- The crate docs said the service writes the API's JSON and its clients
  read it; the registration body goes the other way.
- `pool.rs` no longer refers to a source adapter that is not on main, or
  calls the V1 derivation the POC one.

The one-day cap made the shared `Lease` stricter than the client in #17208:
once that client reads the shared type, a reply with a longer lease would
fail to parse. The cap only protects the service's own clock arithmetic, so
the service now bounds the lease it grants (#17371), and `Lease` keeps the
checks a client needs: the interval is above zero and below the lease.

Also drops `LeaseError`'s doc comment, which restated its use.

A pool's listing named its PoolRelay by one address. On a dual-stack
cluster the PoolRelay's pod has two, and it connects to a router from
whichever family the router's address uses, so a router matching one
address could turn the right PoolRelay away. `relay_identities` now lists
each of them.

round_trip fails unless the parsed value serializes back to the same
JSON, so the field assertions after it could not catch anything more.
A lease of u64::MAX seconds already shows that a lease has no upper
bound, so the 48-hour case goes too.

dynamo-global-discovery-service starts as a library: which Global Router
pools exist, and which Global Router replicas a PoolRelay connects to.

Following the Global Router coding standards:
- The contract comes first: the store traits in pool_discovery
  (PoolDirectory, PoolRegistrar, ReplicaDirectory), on the
  dynamo-global-common types.
- The stores sit below it: in memory (registrations with leases), and MCS
  (pools and router replicas from the EndpointSlices that Karmada or a
  standard MCS implementation imports).

The HTTP service that serves them is added separately.

The code is the discovery work from #15933 and #15949, in the crate layout
of the global-router-v2 test branch. It leaves out the router-side pieces
those PRs had (relay admission, state connections, router discovery
modes): routers now read pools from the service, and relay connections
belong to the router.

- When the EndpointSlice watch keeps failing, for example after its RBAC is
  removed, the cache served its last view as complete indefinitely. It
  still serves that view, and the service stays ready, but after a minute
  of failures it reports the view as Estimated, so GET /pools says
  "complete": false, and it logs the failures as errors.
- A misnamed router port, Service or namespace left GET /routers empty with
  nothing in the log. A router EndpointSlice without the named port is now
  logged, and so is a relist that lists nothing, which also catches a
  cluster without the expected ServiceImports.

… list

Review feedback:
- list_and_watch returns a stream that yields nothing until the first
  complete list. That is deliberate, as dynamo_runtime's Kubernetes
  discovery also waits to be ready, but it was undocumented. The cancel
  token ends the wait, and the watch's failures are logged.
- The error logged after a minute of watch failures claimed to list the
  last view as incomplete even before there was a view.
- A test comment only restated the next line.

…ache

- The watcher's lists, including its relists after a watch error, were
  quorum reads from etcd (kube's default, ListSemantic::MostRecent), paged
  500 at a time. They now use any_semantic(): the API server answers from
  its watch cache, and the watch catches up from there. Discovery needs
  nothing stronger, and the pool watch covers every imported EndpointSlice
  in the cluster.
- The one list made before the cache syncs uses match_any() for the same
  reason.
- The pool and router indexes each had a copy of the Ready filter; both now
  use one ready_endpoints helper.

… them

The previous commit asked the watcher for lists from the API server's
cache with any_semantic(), but kube sends resourceVersion=0 only when no
page size is set, and the watcher pages 500 at a time by default. Its
lists therefore stayed paged quorum reads from etcd. With paging off they
are served from the watch cache in one response, as client-go's reflector
lists. The cache keeps only what it derives from each slice, so the larger
response costs little.

… who makes it

The MCS store's module doc said the operator creates each PoolRelay
Service's `ServiceExport`, but no operator code does. It now says what the
store needs, and what `relay_identity` is for: routers do not check it yet.

From an independent review against the Global Router coding standards:

- A failing EndpointSlice watch is now reported correctly. The cache
  cleared its failure clock on `Init`, which kube sends before each relist
  attempt, so a list that kept failing never made the view `Estimated`.
  And kube resumes a watch without an event, so after one error a healthy
  watch turned `Estimated` a minute later. Now errors spanning a minute
  mark the view stale, and two minutes without one count as recovery.
  `Init` no longer reaches kube's backoff, which it reset, so a failing
  list backs off instead of retrying every 800 ms.
- `register` takes the `PoolRegistration` a PoolRelay sends and returns
  the `Lease`, and pools are listed as `PoolListing`. The store's own
  record type and its unused revision are gone.
- A pool binds to a PoolRelay pod and lists every address of it in
  `relay_identities`, so a dual-stack PoolRelay matches from either family.
  A router replica in an IPv4 and an IPv6 slice is served at its IPv4
  address, whatever the slices are named.
- The memory store reports a list as exact once a lease has passed since
  it started.
- With Karmada, a Service name over 57 characters loses its cluster from
  the slice names. Such slices are now logged rather than skipped silently,
  and the limit is documented.
- `hub`, `endpoints` and `mcs` are private. `EndpointSliceReplicaDirectory`
  is `McsReplicaDirectory` with `new`, `PoolDiscoveryError` is
  `DiscoveryError`, the store types implement `Debug`, and the contract's
  docs no longer name stores or HTTP routes.
- A relist no longer copies the whole view to check whether it is empty.

- Bind the Ready PoolRelay pod with the lowest address, from the current
  slices only, so every service instance admits the same PoolRelay.
- Tell watchers when completeness changes: a Resync when a failing watch
  turns the view Estimated, and when it recovers, by an event or by
  silence. The memory store publishes one when its first lease passes.
- Ask the API server to end each watch after 50 s, so a server that stops
  answering fails within the client's read timeout.
- Drop a failed relist's slices, so the next relist starts over.
- Count only a slice's named TCP port, and not port 0, for router replicas.
- Test that a relist that keeps failing backs off without its Init.

- A relist ends a run of watch errors only when it completes. Its first
  slice no longer announces the view from before the outage as Exact.
- An error after a quiet spell ends the old run, and announces it, before
  starting a new one, even if the quiet timer has not fired yet.
- The per-attempt budget behind RECOVERED_AFTER counts the client's
  connect timeout as well as its read timeout.
- The watch loop takes any event stream, so a test checks that its timer
  ends a run of errors that falls silent.

Copy lib/http-server (dynamo-http-server) unchanged from #17178 at
0953287, so the Global Discovery Service can serve on it: TLS and mTLS,
graceful draining, write timeouts and connection handling. #17178 also moves
dynamo-llm onto this crate; this copy leaves dynamo-llm as it is.

The files are byte-identical to #17178's, so the two PRs carry the same

Adds the global-discovery-service binary, which serves pool discovery for
the Global Router over HTTP: POST /pools (a PoolRelay registers its pool,
and each call is also its heartbeat), GET /pools, GET /routers and
GET /healthz. --store picks the store: memory, karmada or mcs.

It serves on dynamo-http-server, which adds optional TLS and mTLS
(--tls-cert-path, --tls-key-path, --tls-client-ca-cert-path). On shutdown
it lets requests in flight finish.

The service grew from the POC in #16714, through #15949. It leaves out
checking who calls POST /pools: V1 trusts the network, so no store used the
caller. A pool's relay_identity, which routers use to admit its PoolRelay,
still comes from MCS. An invalid pool key or a blank model in POST /pools
is a 422, like any other invalid body, because both are checked while the
JSON is read.

…l Discovery Service

Copied from the POC in #16714 and updated for this crate's binary:
- container/Dockerfile.global-discovery-service builds
  global-discovery-service from dynamo-global-discovery-service into a
  CPU-only Debian image, as the POC did for its own binary.
- container/global-discovery-service.yaml deploys it on the hub with the
  Karmada store, the router Service global-router and its port http, as
  the test deployment in #17278 does. It needs only read access to
  EndpointSlices. Logging is set with DYN_LOG, which the service reads,
  instead of RUST_LOG.

The Dockerfile is owned by the global router and ops teams, like other
component Dockerfiles, and the manifest by the global router team.

…ifest's prerequisites

- --pool-service-suffix rejected a value given as a separate argument, as
  every suffix starts with a hyphen ("-pool-gateway"), and accepted an
  empty one, which made every imported Service a pool. It now takes the
  former and refuses the latter.
- The manifest says what the Karmada store needs: a ServiceImport in this
  cluster for each pool's PoolRelay Service and for the router Service, or
  a kubeconfig for the Karmada control plane. It also says what the
  --router-* arguments must name.
- A preStop sleep keeps the service answering while the Pod leaves the
  Service's endpoints. The service has no in-flight requests to drain, so
  it stops accepting connections as soon as it gets SIGTERM.

The shared `Lease` no longer caps the lease at a day (#17330), because a
client should follow any lease it is given. The service still needs a
bound: its stores add the lease to the current time, which a lease near
`u64::MAX` seconds would overflow. `--lease-duration-secs` now refuses
anything over a day at startup, as its help already said.

The stores now take the `PoolRegistration` a PoolRelay sends, return the
`Lease`, and list `PoolListing` (#17331), so the service no longer converts
to and from a record type of its own. `GET /pools` lists each pool's
`relay_identities`, and the Kubernetes stores use `McsReplicaDirectory`.

The Kubernetes stores count a failing watch as recovered after 120 s
without an error, which holds only if each failed attempt ends within
90 s. kube's defaults are 30 s to connect and 295 s to read. The client
now connects within 10 s and reads within 75 s, and a compile-time check
keeps the two under 90 s. The stores' watches end after 50 s, so a
working watch never reaches the read timeout.

Also give DiscoveryStore a Debug impl.

From Neelay Shah's review:
- PoolKey's first field is cluster_id, not site_id, in Rust and in JSON.
  It is the cluster ID the pool's PoolRelay runs with (--cluster-id,
  DYN_CLUSTER_ID), so a pool key and its relay share one name. Where MCS
  also reports the pool, that ID must be the cluster's name in the
  ClusterSet, and the doc says so. Pool IDs do not change: the deriver
  hashes the values, not the field names.
- PoolLocation drops cluster, which the key carries.
- ReplicaEndpoint, ReplicaId and ReplicaEvent become RouterReplica,
  RouterReplicaId and RouterReplicaEvent, since relays and workers have
  replicas too. Their JSON does not change.
- WatchEvent::Added becomes Upserted, Lease::lease_duration() becomes
  duration(), and Capacity.count becomes workers, in JSON too.

Lease is now #[must_use], as the client's copy was, so the client keeps
that check when it moves onto this type.

From the review threads: a test, from Dmitry Tokarev's review, that a
reader skips unknown fields and fills missing lists, and two duplicate
assertions removed. A pre-push review added a test that a reply without
its list does not parse, so an empty body never reads as "no routers".

Neelay Shah and Jacob Ioffe asked on #17208 that its client move onto
dynamo-global-common in this PR, so two PoolKey definitions never sit on
main together. lib/global-discovery-client drops its own copies of the
JSON types, router replicas and watch events. It re-exports the shared
types its calls send and return, with their error types; the watch types
come from dynamo-global-common. Its calls and errors do not change.

What it sends follows the shared types: the key's cluster_id, a location
without cluster, and capacity in workers. A PoolKey is built with
PoolKey::new, which checks its fields.

…gistration-storage

--store mixed two choices. It is now one flag for each:
- --pool-discovery: where the pool and router lists come from. Either
  the registrations PoolRelays send (registrations, the default), or the
  EndpointSlices MCS imports, named the Karmada way (karmada) or the
  standard way (mcs). karmada and mcs are the values of the operator's
  mcsImplementation in #17412.
- --registration-storage: where registrations are kept. Only memory for
  now; DynamoDB or Kubernetes can come later.

--help groups the flags that work with only some --pool-discovery values,
and such a flag given with another value fails at startup instead of
being ignored, for example --router with karmada. The service's
DiscoveryStore is now DiscoveryBackend, the backend behind the API, since
pools from MCS are not stored. The manifest uses --pool-discovery=karmada.

…eview

- DiscoveryBackend is now PoolDiscoveryBackend: dynamo_runtime, a
  dependency of this crate, already has a public DiscoveryBackend, for
  Dynamo's own discovery.
- A flag for another --pool-discovery value fails whatever set it, not
  only the command line. A test checks that every flag either works with
  every value or sits under one of the two --help headings, so a new flag
  cannot skip the check. In this PR karmada and mcs take no
  registrations, so --registration-storage sits under the registrations
  heading too.
- With karmada or mcs, clap itself requires --router-namespace,
  --router-service and --router-port-name, so every mistake in the flags
  gives a clap error and exit code 2.
- The 501 for POST /pools no longer says the pools come from MCS: the
  HTTP layer does not know why a backend takes no registrations. lib.rs
  no longer lists the endpoints, which service.rs documents.
- The tests check the error kind and the flag named, and each router
  flag's requirement on its own. Breaking the refusal, counting defaults
  as given, dropping a heading or a requirement, or swapping the modes
  each fails a test.

[P2] Preserve single-store serving during memory-registry rollouts

The replica-count validation does not prevent independent stores serving concurrently during upgrade

The chart rejects multiple replicas for the memory backend because each replica has independent state. However, this Deployment leaves its strategy unspecified, so default RollingUpdate can temporarily run two Pods even with replicas: 1.

During rollout:

Controller client A --> registry Pod A --> memory store A
Controller client B --> registry Pod B --> memory store B

These clients no longer share one registry state: each store can contain only part of the clusterset's registrations and exports.

A single client generally shares its active gRPC connection between watches and ordinary RPCs. The failure does not require those operations to be independently load-balanced; different controller clients connecting to different Pods are sufficient.

Memory mode is explicitly intended for development and already documents restart data loss. The additional issue here is concurrent split serving, not an expectation of persistence.

Requested change

For the memory backend, render a strategy such as Recreate that avoids this overlap during Deployment rollouts. Shared-storage deployments can retain RollingUpdate.

spec:
  replicas: 1
  strategy:
    type: Recreate

Document that this preserves single-store rollout semantics while retaining the already-documented interruption and state loss on restart.

Regression coverage

Add a focused chart assertion for the memory-backend strategy. Checking only spec.replicas does not establish the intended property during upgrades.

Confirmed. With the memory store the chart now renders strategy.type: Recreate on the registry Deployment, so a rollout never serves two independent stores at once; the DynamoDB store keeps RollingUpdate, and registry.strategy overrides either. The "recreates the memory store on rollout" unittest pins the memory-store strategy, and the README notes the interruption on rollout alongside the documented state loss on restart (in 81671e9).

Slice 6 of 8 of #17615, the port of the Multi-Cluster Services layer of
the Global Router. The chart that installs mcs-registry, mcs-controller and the CRDs, with helm-unittest cases and the pre-commit exclusion for its templates.

Relates to #17601

Check the CRD source before deleting the chart copies.

If $(MODULE_CRDS) is absent or contains no YAML files, make sync-crds deletes the chart’s CRDs and then fails at cp. The module sources are a separate stack dependency, so this can occur while working on this revision. Check that the source files exist before removing the copies, or stage the replacements before changing $(CHART_CRDS). (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Do not delete the entire LOCALBIN directory.

After make docs succeeds, this command removes every file in $(LOCALBIN), including unrelated tools in a pre-existing or caller-supplied directory. Leave the directory intact, or clean up only files this target created. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Resolve the documentation links in the template.

At this revision, these three module-documentation targets are missing. The generated README.md repeats the links, and the supplied docs link check fails on them. Add the target documents before this chart lands, or point the template to documents that exist; then regenerate README.md. The IAM link at Line 181 needs the same correction.

Do not bind the controller's ClusterRole to the namespace default ServiceAccount.

Suppose controller.serviceAccount.create=false and controller.serviceAccount.name is empty. This helper then returns default. clusterrolebinding.yaml and leader-election-rbac.yaml use the same helper, so with rbac.create=true the chart binds the mcs-controller ClusterRole to <release-namespace>/default.

That ClusterRole grants cluster-wide create/update/delete on services, endpointslices, serviceexports and serviceimports, and create on namespaces. Every pod in the release namespace that does not set its own ServiceAccount runs as default. Each of those pods then gets these permissions. The test at tests/toggles_test.yaml Line 79-94 renders this configuration, and nothing rejects it.

Make the chart fail on this combination in global-discovery-mcs.controller.validate. Another option is to make name required in the schema when create is false and rbac.create is true.

🔒️ Proposed guard in `global-discovery-mcs.controller.validate`
 {{- if and (gt (int $c.replicas) 1) (not $c.leaderElect) }}
 {{- fail (printf "controller.replicas=%d requires controller.leaderElect=true" (int $c.replicas)) }}
 {{- end }}
+{{- if and .Values.rbac.create (not $c.serviceAccount.create) (not $c.serviceAccount.name) }}
+{{- fail "controller.serviceAccount.name is required with controller.serviceAccount.create=false and rbac.create=true; the chart does not bind the controller ClusterRole to the namespace default ServiceAccount" }}
+{{- end }}
 {{- end }}

If you add this guard, the toggles test must also set rbac.create: false or controller.serviceAccount.name.
