| When a HostedCluster uses the `Route` publishing strategy for control plane services | ||

the dedicated HAProxy is only deployed if route is used for the Kube API server, no other case.

| The HCP router's LoadBalancer Service is created unconditionally, regardless of the | ||

It's worth noting that when LoadBalancer is specified, it makes no sense to specify a hostName for the LoadBalancer, since the router's job is to route other hostnames to control plane services.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
If you configure your HostedCluster with a router service and the CPO doesn't support it, the hostedcluster should fail to provision with an 'InvalidConfiguration' condition explaining why.

including Konnectivity and Ignition, and specify validation or rejection before
route status and KAS resolution are populated. Also document how setting
routerPublishing overrides the existing UseHCPRouter decision.
- Around line 369-376: Resolve the inconsistency between the defaulting behavior
described in the routerPublishing section and the “New HC with neither field”
row in “Defaults and Backward Compatibility.” Choose one contract—preserve
existing strategy-derived behavior when both fields are omitted, or require a
field—and update all affected documentation, including validation and

- Around line 176-179: The routerPublishing design must define a transition
policy instead of claiming unrestricted mutability: either make the Service Type
immutable after creation or specify migration behavior, status conditions, and
Port/Hostname updates when it changes. Update the CPO reconciliation logic
around svc.Spec.Type and the routerPublishing API contract accordingly, and add
tests covering both rejected and supported transitions while preserving existing
spec.services[] behavior.
- Around line 209-239: Add the corresponding routerPublishing field to
HostedControlPlaneSpec, including its serialized API shape, and define the
HostedCluster-to-HostedControlPlane conversion so Type, Hostname, Port, and
Services are propagated consistently. Anchor the changes to the RouterPublishing
type and the existing HostedControlPlane conversion logic, preserving omission
behavior when the source field is unset.
- Around line 229-233: Complete the Port contract for the router Service
publishing strategy: specify and implement how the requested NodePort is
assigned to svc.Spec.Ports[*].NodePort, how omitted ports are allocated, and how
collisions or invalid values are handled. Update the status and Route-facing
contract so consumers can discover and reach non-default ports such as 30443,
and add an integration test covering the requested-port behavior.
- Around line 306-317: Add CRD CEL validation and envtest coverage for every
routerPublishing invariant: require hostname for NodePort, reject the invalid
LoadBalancer/Port combination, validate hostname syntax for each services[]
Route entry, and reject configurations where neither routerPublishing nor
services[] is set. Preserve the existing mutual-exclusivity validation and
ensure invalid objects are rejected before reconciliation.
- Around line 548-568: Update the routerPublishing upgrade/version-skew strategy
to define supported HO/CPO version pairs and gate acceptance of
spec.routerPublishing through a capability or admission check before the field
can be pruned by an older HostedCluster CRD. Ensure unsupported mixed versions
are rejected clearly, and add tests covering downgrade and mixed HO/CPO
scenarios.

Reject duplicate service hostnames after defaulting.
Syntax validation does not prevent two services from using the same Route host. An explicit hostname can also collide with a derived <service>.<baseDomain> hostname. All services share one router and use SNI, so duplicate hosts can route traffic to the wrong backend. Enforce uniqueness after defaults are applied and reject the configuration before HCP or Route creation. Add envtest coverage.

You are interacting with an AI system.
Introduce spec.routerPublishing as a dedicated top-level field on HostedCluster to control how the HCP private router is exposed. Mutually exclusive with spec.services[] — when set, all control plane services are published through the router using the Route strategy. Replaces the earlier approach of adding Router to spec.services[], which had semantic mismatch (router is infrastructure, not user-facing service) and immutability constraints.

Review: CNTRLPLANE-3527 — spec.routerPublishing
Problem is real, v1→v2 evolution is a good call. But after tracing the CPO code paths, there are gaps that block implementation.
Main concerns (inline comments below):
- CPO breaks without Services[] — ServicePublishingStrategyByTypeForHCP() returns nil
- Which hostname goes into HCP.Status.ControlPlaneEndpoint.Host? Not specified
- Mutable hostname → cert regen → KAS restart → node rollout. Unviable
- DNS dependency undocumented — per-service hostnames must resolve to router address
- KubeVirt baseDomainPassthrough conflict — wildcard DNS vs dedicated router
- endpointAccess interaction undefined
- ExternalDNS integration missing for bare-metal
- This PR and #2083 (spec.publishing) design the same API surface separately — needs alignment
| controls everything, and the router is derived from the combination of strategies and | ||
| endpoint access mode. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Motivation |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Without spec.services[], ServicePublishingStrategyByTypeForHCP(hcp, <serviceType>) returns nil for KAS, OAuth, Konnectivity, Ignition. Every service reconciler fails.
Enhancement says "CPO derives Route strategy from routerPublishing" but does not define the mechanism. This is the most critical gap.
| 5. Design the new field with partially mutable semantics: `type` is immutable after | ||
| creation (matching `spec.services[]` behavior), but `hostname`, `port`, and | ||
| per-service hostnames are mutable to allow address changes without cluster recreation. | ||
|
|
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Per-service hostname mutability has cascading consequences:
hostname change → PKI cert regen (new SANs) → KAS restart → kubeconfig update → node rollout.
spec.services[] avoids this by being immutable. If per-service hostnames are mutable, document the rollout impact or make them immutable too.
| // Port is the NodePort to request for the router Service. | ||
| // Only applicable when Type is NodePort. Maps to | ||
| // svc.Spec.Ports[0].NodePort. If omitted, Kubernetes auto-assigns | ||
| // a port from the cluster's configured node-port range. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Two hostnames in play:
routerPublishing.hostname: router address (e.g.192.168.126.10)routerPublishing.services.apiServer.hostname: Route SNI target (e.g.api.mycluster.example.com)
Which goes into HCP.Status.ControlPlaneEndpoint.Host?
Router IP breaks SNI routing. Per-service hostname works but requires DNS.
Must be explicitly stated with full flow through PKI and kubeconfig.

Route strategy today: HCP.Status.ControlPlaneEndpoint.Port = 443.
With NodePort: port becomes 30443 (or auto-assigned).
This affects kubeconfigs, kube-apiserver-proxy, ignition bootstrap.
Enhancement should state this explicitly.

Can you expand this with documentation explaining what an end user achieves by setting each of these

Why is one of these APIs (which AFAICT allow you to specify the same thing) mutable, and one immutable? That doesn't seem to make a lot of sense? If there's an issue with mutability in the current API, how does this new API avoid that problem?

If I may make a suggestion, from someone watching this enhancement closely on baremetal/Kubevirt, to allow annotations to trickle down to the actual router service so we can have more control on how the service load balancer is realized. I.e. when using a 3rd party LB controllers where service annotations are the only way to get things properly set (F5 CIS). Thank you !

Why was this change needed?
The HCP private router Service is unconditionally created as
LoadBalancerregardless of platform.On management clusters without cloud load-balancer support (Agent, KubeVirt platforms), the
Service stays
Pendingindefinitely, blocking route status propagation and KAS service resolution.OCPBUGS-77856 identified this issue. PR openshift/hypershift#8439 provided an initial fix using
platform auto-detection, but was closed after review identified that ClusterIP used for NodePort
services is not externally reachable.
What changes are being made?
This enhancement introduces
spec.routerPublishingas a dedicated top-level field onHostedCluster,mutually exclusive with
spec.services[]. When set, a dedicated HCP router is deployed and exposedas specified, with all control plane services published through it using the Route strategy.
