Purpose

Tighten the networking PRDs, designs, client contracts, validations, and test
plans so they describe only supported, tested, or immediately testable
behavior. Unified Networking is the source of truth for shared contracts;
VMaaS, BMaaS, CaaS, and Default Networking inherit those rules and add only
service-specific behavior.

The goal is to make supported flows explicit, reject unsupported tenant
actions before persistence or backend dispatch, and keep the API, controllers,
AAP jobs, UI, CLI, Catalog, and test plans aligned.

Supported boundary

  • Connected deployments only, with exactly one hub. Air-gapped, disconnected,
    and multi-hub deployments are rejected.
  • IPv4 only. IPv6 and dual-stack values are rejected.
  • One provider-owned NetworkClass exists per deployment. fabric_manager and
    k8s_manager are independently optional, but at least one is required.
    Tenants do not select managers or implementation strategies.
  • Network-owned resources and workload network fields support create, read/list,
    and delete only. Updates, patches, replacements, and nested field-mask
    changes are rejected. Controller status, conditions, readiness, IP
    discovery, and finalizers remain controller-owned.
  • VMaaS, BMaaS, and CaaS retain their list/singular API shapes for
    compatibility while enforcing the current cardinality: at most one VM
    attachment, at most one BM attachment, and one CaaS cluster attachment.
    primary remains for VM/BM API compatibility; with one attachment, omitted
    primary is implicitly primary and primary: false is rejected.
  • ExternalIPPool retains list-shaped cidrs for compatibility but accepts
    exactly one canonical IPv4 CIDR.
  • The deployment baseline policy is hard-coded permit. It is distinct from
    the tenant default SecurityGroup, whose empty rule set means default deny.

Recent contract and lifecycle additions

  • Added explicit field-by-field contracts: types, formats, enums, required and
    optional fields, immutability, canonical CIDR representation, cardinality,
    cross-field rules, typed references, scope, and readiness requirements.
  • Added strict ready-before-create validation. A direct create fails with a
    specific validation/precondition error when a referenced NetworkClass,
    VirtualNetwork, Subnet, policy, ExternalIP, attachment target, or workload
    dependency is missing or not Ready. Only OSAC-created automatic resources
    such as automatic ExternalIPs may be created Pending.
  • Added strict leaf-first deletion. A resource cannot be deleted while any
    resource still points to it. Blocker checks are indexed existence queries
    and return the blocking resource types and names/IDs; they do not recursively
    traverse the graph. Tenant-owned resources are never implicitly cascaded.
    Cleanup of OSAC-owned automatic children is the only permitted cascade.
  • Added the full defaulting chain for workload attachments: missing or empty
    attachments use all defaults; partially specified attachments default only
    the missing SecurityGroup/Subnet; complete attachments are preserved.
  • Added hard validation for all unsupported update, forward-reference,
    cross-scope, invalid-format, invalid-enum, invalid-cardinality, and
    not-Ready branches.

SecurityGroup and NetworkACL

The designs retain both resources with distinct semantics:

  • SecurityGroup is VirtualNetwork-scoped, workload-selected, stateful, and
    allow-only; unmatched traffic is denied.
  • NetworkACL is Subnet-associated, stateless, and uses explicit allow/deny
    rules inherited by workloads on that Subnet.
  • A flow must pass every applicable policy layer. Manager support and readiness
    are validated independently on every create and default-provisioning path.
  • Tenant-created policy resources require at least one rule. The automatic
    tenant default SecurityGroup may be empty and means default deny. The
    deployment baseline remains the separate provider-owned permit policy.

Manager and dispatch documentation

  • Added/updated manager contracts covering resource ownership, readiness,
    annotations, AAP dispatch, result aggregation, failure handling, and the
    current K8s-only, fabric-only, and combined deployment flows.
  • Documented the operation-specific AAP actions and handoffs, including
    move-network-attachment and query-dhcp-lease for the fabric-manager
    contract.
  • Documented that K8s-only networking is handled directly by the K8s manager
    and does not fall back to a missing fabric manager.
  • Prepared standalone K8s-only manager PRD/design/test-plan material and the
    Netris fabric-manager PRD/design/test-plan material for extraction into
    focused follow-up PRs.

Service, Catalog, UI, and CLI alignment

  • VMaaS documents one-interface behavior and immutable network fields.
  • BMaaS documents one-NIC behavior, BareMetalInstanceType-owned interface
    selection, provisioning-network isolation, port movement, reboot/DHCP
    discovery, and ExternalIP lifecycle.
  • CaaS documents singular cluster attachment handling, Template-owned node-set
    hardware, worker BMaaS handoff, VIP feedback, and current reachability
    constraints.
  • Catalog Items use the same networking fields, typed references, defaults,
    validation, and immutable network-owned fields as direct API creates.
    Catalog metadata and unrelated fields retain their normal behavior.
  • ClusterTemplates remain authoritative for node-set names and
    baremetal_instance_type; Catalog Items govern permitted node-set sizes.
  • Updated UI and wizard contracts for typed references, one-entry
    cardinalities, defaulting, automatic ExternalIP behavior, and policy fields.
  • Added normative CLI contracts for shared networking resources and workload
    attachments, including IPv4/CIDR parsing, typed references, readiness,
    defaulting, policy rules, primary, and create/read/delete-only behavior.
  • Standardized automatic-resource ownership and cleanup labels, canonicalized
    private CaaS attachment naming, replaced stale HostType references with
    Template-owned BareMetalInstanceType references, and aligned metering
    dimensions.
  • Retired the legacy OSAC-356 networking design and redirected active
    references to Unified Networking.

Test plans

Added and aligned standalone testplan.md files for Unified Networking,
Default Networking, VMaaS, CaaS, BMaaS, Catalog Items v2 networking
governance, and the current CUDN-EVPN Phase 1 behavior.

The plans distinguish:

  • Unit: field/type/format/enum validation, CIDR canonicalization,
    defaulting, typed references, readiness, cardinality, policy semantics,
    dependency blockers, dispatch planning, annotations, and transactionality.
  • Integration: API/private API/REST behavior, database atomicity, CRD
    admission, controller reconciliation, AAP targets, manager handoffs,
    MetalLB, retries, readiness, deletion guards, automatic cleanup, and
    failure recovery.
  • E2E: connected single-hub K8s-only, fabric-only, and combined flows,
    real VM/BM/cluster provisioning, DHCP/IP discovery, MetalLB, port movement,
    policy enforcement, ExternalIP lifecycle, and ordered deletion.

Negative tests cover every documented unsupported branch and verify both the
expected error and the absence of invalid persistence, allocation, dispatch,
partial resources, or orphaned backend state.

Explicit exclusions

  • East-West FabricDomain implementation behavior, including resize and
    multi-interface improvements, is excluded because it is not implemented.
  • CUDN-EVPN feature improvements are excluded; only shared contract and
    current Phase 1 alignment is included.
  • The manager capability-advertisement redesign/removal is not included in
    this PR and should be handled in a focused follow-up.
  • This is a documentation and contract-alignment PR. Implementation changes
    required by the updated contracts should be extracted into focused code PRs.

Validation

  • pre-commit run --all-files passed.
  • git diff --check passed.
  • No implementation/build tests apply to this documentation repository.

AI EP Review: EP-279

Score: 8/10 | Verdict: PASS
Feature: could not be determined

Criterion Score Notes
WHAT (clear need) 2/2 All 14 PRDs describe clear user-facing capabilities (unified networking, default networking, VM/cluster/BM service networking, metering, provisioning wizard, type-safe references, fabric manager integrations, CUDN EVPN bridging). All four canonical personas (Cloud Provider Admin, Cloud Infrastructure Admin, Tenant Admin, Tenant User) are covered with per-persona user story headings. Services (VMaaS, CaaS, BMaaS) are explicitly identified and scoped. Combined persona headings (e.g., 'Tenant Admin / Tenant User' in CUDN EVPN) are genuine consolidations where capabilities are identical. The 'All Personas' heading in OSAC-1330 is not a canonical persona but covers all four without displacing any individual story.
WHY (justification) 2/2 Strong, concrete justification across the collection. Unified Networking cites specific pain: CaaS bypasses the API entirely, BMaaS has no networking integration, tenants must use three different networking models. Default Networking quantifies friction: multiple sequential API calls for a reachable instance. Metering names the gap: no mechanism to report ExternalIP/NATGateway consumption to billing. Type-Safe References describes discoverable failures from opaque identifier strings. Fabric manager PRDs cite platform lock-in (Netris-only) and inability to deploy on common managed-switch infrastructure.
User-Facing Focus 1/2 Moderate design leakage in several PRDs. K8s-only Manager FR-3 names internal entrypoints ('cudn_net for VirtualNetwork/Subnet, policy adapters for SecurityGroup/NetworkACL, metallb_l2 for the ExternalIP family, nat_gateway for NATGateway') — these are implementation details not verifiable by using the product. CaaS Networking FR-6 names 'BareMetalWorkerReconciler'. Default Networking risk mitigations reference 'finalizer' retention and 'controller retries'. CUDN EVPN acceptance criteria include 'FRR diagnostic commands show correct VNI state on OCP workers' — internal tooling, not user-facing. Wizard PRD references proto file names (compute_instance_type.proto, cluster_type.proto). Most PRDs are primarily user-focused, but the leakage is spread across multiple documents.
Right-Sized 1/2 Individual PRDs are mostly coherent — the decomposition into unified foundation + per-service + per-manager PRDs is well-structured. However, several PRDs include template-external sections: Risks sections appear in 10+ PRDs, Terminology/Glossary in Unified Networking and Metering, Future Phases/Roadmap in East-West Networking, Historical Gaps in Unified Networking, Charge Calculation Model in Metering, and Open Decisions in the Wizard. The Unified Networking PRD is notably verbose with seven 'Historical Gap' subsections explaining resolved pre-unified-networking limitations — context that belongs in a design document or commit history. The Wizard PRD includes detailed JSON payload examples and proto file references that read as design content.
Testability 2/2 All PRDs have well-structured acceptance criteria expressed as checkboxes with user-verifiable outcomes. Criteria are stated as 'A Tenant User can create a VM with...' or 'Creating a VM with more than one attachment returns a validation error'. Error cases specify expected error types (FailedPrecondition, InvalidArgument). Metering criteria specify queryable dimensions. The one exception is CUDN EVPN's 'FRR diagnostic commands show correct VNI state' which is admin-verifiable through documented tooling. Overall, requirements can be verified by a PM or QA engineer using the product.

Verdict: Solid collection of 14 PRDs with clear user needs, strong justification, and excellent testability, held back by moderate design leakage across several documents (internal entrypoints, reconciler names, finalizer behavior) and template-external content (Risks, Terminology, Historical Gaps sections) that adds verbosity.

Feedback: Remove internal entrypoint names from the K8s-only Manager PRD (FR-3's 'cudn_net', 'metallb_l2', 'nat_gateway') — describe what the manager does, not which code modules do it. Replace CaaS FR-6's 'BareMetalWorkerReconciler' with a user-facing description like 'the system provisions bare-metal workers through BMaaS'. Move the Unified Networking Historical Gaps subsections to the design document — they explain implementation evolution, not user needs. Trim or relocate Risks sections to design documents where they appear alongside mitigation architectures; the PRD template doesn't call for them.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (6)

  1. K8s-only Manager PRD FR-3 names internal entrypoints ('cudn_net', 'metallb_l2', 'nat_gateway', 'policy adapters') — these are implementation details that would change if the backend were swapped and cannot be verified by using the product. Rewrite to describe user-observable dispatch behavior.
  2. CaaS Networking PRD FR-6 references 'BareMetalWorkerReconciler' — an internal controller name. Rewrite as 'the system creates a BareMetalInstance through the BMaaS API for each requested worker'.
  3. CUDN EVPN acceptance criterion 'FRR diagnostic commands show correct VNI state on OCP workers' is an infrastructure-level verification, not a user-facing acceptance criterion. Move to design/test plan or reframe as 'Cloud Infrastructure Admin can verify network segment state using documented tools'.
  4. Risks sections appear in 10+ PRDs (East-West, Default Networking, K8s-only Manager, VMaaS, CaaS, BMaaS, Netris, Agentless VLAN, CUDN EVPN, Metering). The PRD template does not include a Risks section — move to the companion design document.
  5. Unified Networking PRD contains seven 'Historical Gap' subsections (Gaps Bump actions/setup-python from 5 to 6 #1-7, Virtual machines as a service #9) under the Problem Statement. These explain resolved pre-unified-networking limitations — useful context for the design document, but they pad the PRD significantly (the resolution notes alone span hundreds of words).
  6. Terminology/Glossary sections in Unified Networking PRD and both Metering PRDs restate concepts already defined in osac-dimensions.md (Tenant, Provider, Service Types, VirtualNetwork, Subnet, etc.). Trim to terms not covered by the shared dimension definitions.

Suggestions (3)

  1. The 'All Personas' heading in OSAC-1330 Type-Safe References is not a canonical persona name. Consider splitting into explicit persona headings or using 'Tenant Admin / Tenant User' plus 'Cloud Provider Admin / Cloud Infrastructure Admin' combined headings to match the persona coverage model.
  2. The Wizard PRD's JSON payload examples (sections 2.1.4, 2.1.5, 2.1.6) and proto file references cross into design territory. Keep the API endpoint tables but move payload assembly details to the design document.
  3. Default Networking risk mitigation 7.3 references 'finalizer' retention and 'controller' retries — reframe in terms of observable behavior ('the parent resource remains in Deleting state until cleanup completes').

AI Design Review: EP-279

Score: 8/8 | Verdict: PASS
Feature: could not be determined

Criterion Score Notes
Feasibility 2/2 Designs include full proto schemas with field types and validation annotations (e.g., ClusterTemplateReference with buf.validate CEL, SubnetLocalReference, ComputeNetworkAttachment). All CRUD lifecycle operations are described with specific error codes (InvalidArgument, NotFound). Risks are specific and concrete: 'tenant filter injection' with mitigation 'reuse existing tenancy filter injection patterns; add integration tests for cross-tenant isolation'; 'validation complexity' for dot-notation path resolution with mitigation 'implement path resolution with clear error messages and unit tests'. The drawbacks sections steel-man the arguments against proposals. Implementation chunking is well-defined (5 delivery chunks for OSAC-1330). The CaaS-to-BMaaS cross-tenant exception for the system tenant is precisely scoped.
Testability 2/2 Test plans specify concrete scenarios at each level. Unit tests cover reference validation logic, interceptor resolution modes (name-only, both-match, both-mismatch, missing-name rejection), and proto serialization. Integration tests verify cross-tenant isolation, publication filtering, tenant Admin write isolation, and CNA reference exceptions. E2E tests describe full provisioning workflows (Create NetworkClass → VirtualNetwork → Subnet → NetworkACL → ComputeInstance). CLI tests cover parse/reject of ID-only references, compound attachment options, and project/shared scope selectors. Graduation criteria are measurable: 'All CRUD operations pass e2e, error paths tested, no regressions in existing networking tests.'
Scope 2/2 Each design has clear boundaries with specific non-goals. The unified networking design explicitly excludes IPv6, air-gapped deployments, and multi-NIC BMaaS attachments. Catalog Items v2 defers storage_tier and additional_disks governance with stated reasons. The provisioning wizard defers BareMetalInstance provisioning and explicit cluster network attachment controls to v1. Alternatives sections compare real approaches with trade-offs (e.g., typed oneof vs google.protobuf.Value vs JSON Schema for field definitions). PRD references are present across designs. The cross-cutting alignment scope is well-bounded: harmonize all designs with unified networking, typed references, and Catalog Items v2 decisions.
Architecture 2/2 Designs consistently follow OSAC patterns: tenant isolation via osac.openshift.io/tenant and osac.openshift.io/owner-reference annotations; standard object shape (id, Metadata, Spec, Status); spec for desired state, status for observed state; controller lifecycle with finalizers; conditions for lifecycle state. Resource-specific network attachment messages (ComputeNetworkAttachment, ClusterNetworkAttachment, BareMetalNetworkAttachment) replace the generic shared NetworkAttachment. Type-safe references use per-type protobuf messages with local vs full reference distinction. Cross-component dependencies are enumerated: fulfillment-service proto, osac-operator controllers, osac-aap roles, osac-ui wire builders, osac-test-infra test fixtures, osac-cli reference construction. Terminology is defined upfront and used consistently (NetworkACL vs SecurityGroup, BareMetalInstanceType vs HostType, deployment-scoped vs platform-scoped).

Verdict: A comprehensive cross-cutting alignment PR that harmonizes 21 design documents with unified networking, type-safe references, and Catalog Items v2 decisions — architecturally sound, deeply detailed, well-scoped, and thoroughly testable.

Feedback: The alignment is thorough and consistent across all designs. Consider adding a top-level summary document or index that maps which decisions from the authoritative designs (Unified Networking, OSAC-1330, Catalog Items v2) propagated to which consumer designs, making it easier for reviewers to verify completeness. The OSAC-1002 (Catalog Items v1) superseded status is well-documented; consider whether the historical networking examples can be further reduced to avoid confusion with the current contract.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (0)

None.

Suggestions (3)

  1. Consider adding a cross-reference matrix showing which networking decisions (e.g., resource-specific attachment types, NetworkACL introduction, IPv4-only scope) were propagated to which consumer designs, to make alignment auditing more systematic.
  2. The OSAC-1002 README still contains detailed networking examples with legacy field names (network_attachments with minItems/maxItems) even after the superseded banner — consider trimming these historical examples further or adding inline notes at each example pointing to the current contract.
  3. Some designs (e.g., OSAC-1050 DNS API) have test plans and graduation criteria marked as 'Section not required until targeted at a release' — when these are targeted, the plans should be expanded to the same specificity as the networking and reference designs.

Details

In response to this:

Summary

Integrate the five networking design branches into one reviewable change set:

  • IPv4-only networking across the networking proposals
  • Single-hub deployment topology
  • SecurityGroup semantics and rule evaluation
  • BMaaS single-NIC networking and interface selection
  • Connected-deployment implementation boundary

Integration notes

  • Preserved one-hub and connected-only boundary statements where the branches overlapped.
  • Reconciled IPv4-only defaults with configurable SecurityGroup rules and a permit-all fallback when no rules are configured.
  • Preserved the BMaaS single-NIC constraint while retaining physical-interface selection for that attachment.
  • The source history also includes the existing linked-worktree ignore rule carried by the BMaaS branch.

Validation

  • pre-commit run --all-files
  • git diff --check
  • Verified all five source branch tips are ancestors of this branch.

Summary

  • API surface: Networking contracts now support IPv4 only. IPv6 and dual-stack fields were removed. BMaaS supports one network attachment.
  • Controllers and validation: Updated default-networking readiness, SecurityGroup precedence and permit-all fallback, IPv4 ExternalIP pool selection, and BMaaS interface validation.
  • Deployment: Connected deployments use one hub. Air-gapped and multi-hub deployments are unsupported.
  • Documentation: Updated networking designs, PRDs, examples, tests, and support criteria.
  • CI: Added .worktrees/ to .gitignore. pre-commit and git diff --check passed.

Backward compatibility

This change is not fully backward compatible. IPv6, dual-stack, multi-hub, and multi-attachment BMaaS configurations require migration or are unsupported.

Risk classification

risk:show — The change updates public networking contracts and deployment boundaries. It also removes supported configuration modes. Validation passed, but the compatibility impact requires review.

It is not risk:ship because the API and deployment behavior changes require consumer updates. It is not risk:ask because the scope and validation results are documented, with no reported unresolved blocker.

Inline comments:
In `@enhancements/OSAC-1382-multi-fabric-east-west-networking/design.md`:
- Around line 574-577: The SecurityGroup behavior description must define
evaluation semantics: evaluate configured rules before applying the permit-all
default, specify which fields determine rule specificity and how
equal-specificity conflicts are resolved, and ensure any traffic denied by a
matching SecurityGroup rule is dropped.

In `@enhancements/OSAC-1433-default-networking/design.md`:
- Around line 427-428: Update the default SecurityGroup statements near the
tenant behavior section and the corresponding statements near the later
applicability section to reflect that NetworkClass rules determine the default
group, with permit-all used only as the fallback. Keep the documented Tenant
Admin modification behavior unchanged, and do not remove the configurable rules
or their tests.

In `@enhancements/OSAC-1433-default-networking/prd.md`:
- Around line 88-89: Update the readiness requirements in FR-1 and the related
acceptance criterion to include NATGateway alongside VirtualNetwork, IPv4
Subnet, and SecurityGroup. Ensure both criteria require all four networking
resources before the tenant transitions to READY.

In `@enhancements/OSAC-1433-unified-networking/design.md`:
- Around line 69-72: Clarify the air-gapped deployment requirements in the
design document so they explicitly describe future architecture rather than
current implementation scope, or update them to match the connected-only
boundary. Ensure the statements covering air-gapped goals and workflows are
consistent and do not leave supported deployment modes ambiguous.
- Around line 422-428: Expand the unified SecurityGroupRule contract to define
rule action and deterministic ingress/egress behavior, including unmatched
traffic, equal-specificity conflicts, and precedence of the permit-all default.
Then update the default-networking design to reference this shared contract
rather than defining separate semantics, ensuring all backends enforce the same
policy.

In `@enhancements/OSAC-1437-bmaas-networking/design.md`:
- Line 329: The reconcileNetworking deletion flow must not claim a safe

Filter auto-selected pools to READY IPv4 pools.

FR-6 selects only by available capacity. The design and test plan require a READY IPv4 pool, and this PRD declares IPv4-only operation. Without both filters, a larger IPv6 or non-ready pool can be selected. Add these filters to FR-6 and the acceptance criteria.

Align NFR-1 with the asynchronous ExternalIP lifecycle.

The default-networking design creates the ExternalIP and attachment in Pending state during the create transaction, then allocates the address through controller reconciliation. NFR-1 requires allocation to complete inside the create API call. Choose one contract. If the two-phase flow is canonical, require synchronous reservation and asynchronous allocation instead of synchronous address allocation.

Assert the resulting membership in resize tests.

The unit-test item only checks that a new servers list triggers reconciliation. It does not verify backend add/remove behavior, idempotent no-op retries, failed-update recovery, or rejection of immutable fields. Add assertions for backend membership and status convergence.

Test Plan Review: TP-279

Score: 5/10 | Verdict: Rework

Dimension Score Notes
Specificity 2/2 TCs consistently name concrete field values (supports_ipv4:true, l2_vni, l3_vni), specific API responses (HTTP 400, FailedPrecondition), exact CLI commands (vtysh -c 'show bgp l2vpn evpn'), precise IPs (200.200.1.3, 200.200.1.10), and measurable thresholds (RTT <10ms, Ready within 60s). Expected results state specific observable outcomes, not restatements of acceptance criteria.
Grounding 0/2 Zero references to test frameworks, test files, fixtures, or helpers anywhere in the plan. No mention of pytest, Ginkgo, envtest, grpc fixtures, wait_for_* helpers, or existing test patterns. The design document's own Test Plan section references specific files (subnet_server_test.go, test_evpn_vm_to_fabric_connectivity.py, subnet_controller_test.go) and frameworks (Ginkgo, pytest, envtest), but none of this appears in the test plan being scored. This is a textbook G=0 per the calibration exampl
Scope fidelity 1/2 All 9 requirements (R1-R9) have TCs, plus deletion lifecycle coverage. However: (1) VMaaS VM placement validation — a significant design section covering VM creation blocking when subnet count > 1 — has no TC, despite being distinct from R5's subnet creation blocking. (2) VirtualNetwork deletion ordering (finalizer blocks until all child subnets deleted, then VPC deleted) has no TC. (3) The Gaps section claims 'None identified' despite these omissions. Silent omission scores lower than honest ga
Actionability 1/2 All TCs have preconditions, numbered steps with parameters, and concrete expected results — structural completeness is good. However, no TC references test fixtures, helper functions, or existing test patterns to follow. An engineer would need to independently discover the test framework, fixture setup, and assertion patterns. This matches the A=1 calibration: 'TCs have steps and results but no fixture references or pointers to similar existing tests.'
Consistency 1/2 Three issues: (1) Overview claims 17 total test cases but only 15 TCs exist in the document (off by 2). (2) TC-DELETE-01 and TC-DELETE-02 break the TC-{req}-{NN} naming convention — they use TC-DELETE-NN instead of being grouped under a requirement heading. (3) Interface Changes IC-1 through IC-6 are referenced in metadata tables but never defined in the test plan, making the IC references unverifiable.

Verdict: The test plan has strong specificity with concrete inputs/outputs across all TCs, but scores zero on grounding (no test infrastructure references whatsoever), which triggers automatic Rework regardless of the 5/10 total.

Feedback: Add grounding references throughout: name the test framework (Ginkgo for Go unit tests, pytest for E2E), reference specific test files and fixtures (e.g., 'follow pattern in test_virtual_network_lifecycle.py using grpc fixture'), and point to existing helpers (wait_for_ready, k8s_hub_client). Add a TC for VMaaS VM placement validation (blocking VM creation when subnet count > 1) and VirtualNetwork deletion ordering — both are significant design requirements with no coverage. Fix the TC count in the overview (15 actual vs 17 claimed), normalize TC-DELETE IDs to follow TC-{req}-{NN}, and either define IC-1 through IC-6 in the plan or remove the IC references from metadata tables.

Critical (2)

  1. Grounding is zero: no test framework, file, fixture, or helper referenced anywhere in the 15 TCs. The design document references pytest, Ginkgo, envtest, and specific test files — the test plan must incorporate these.
  2. VMaaS VM placement validation has no TC: the design has a dedicated section (VMaaS: VM Placement Validation) with specific error messages and a behavior table covering VM creation blocking when subnet count > 1, but no test case covers this flow.

Important (4)

  1. TC count mismatch: overview claims 17 test cases but only 15 exist in the document.
  2. VirtualNetwork deletion ordering (finalizer blocks until all child subnets deleted, then Netris VPC deleted) is a design requirement with no test coverage.
  3. Gaps section claims 'None identified' despite missing VMaaS validation and VirtualNetwork deletion coverage — honest gap reporting with justification would score higher.
  4. TC-DELETE-01 and TC-DELETE-02 break the TC-{req}-{NN} ID convention.

Suggestions (3)

  1. Define or link IC-1 through IC-6 so interface change references in metadata tables are verifiable.
  2. Add a TC for controller restart mid-reconciliation idempotency (design mentions it in unit test section).
  3. Consider a TC for the skip-k8s-manager annotation on the first (only) subnet — TC-R5-03 tests it on a second subnet, but the design allows it on the first subnet too (fabric-only by choice).

Test Plan Review: TP-279

Score: 5/10 | Verdict: Rework

Dimension Score Notes
Specificity 2/2 TCs include concrete field values (data.capabilities, spec.network.topology), specific HTTP status codes (400/201), exact gRPC error codes (FailedPrecondition), real IP addresses (200.200.1.3, 200.200.1.10), CLI commands with arguments (vtysh -c, virtctl console), and precise expected results (RTT <10ms, Type-2/Type-5 EVPN routes). Meets the S=2 calibration standard.
Grounding 0/2 Zero references to test frameworks, test files, fixtures, or helpers. No mention of pytest, Ginkgo, envtest, specific *_test.go files, or existing test patterns to follow. The EP design's own Test Plan section names concrete files (subnet_server_test.go, test_evpn_vm_to_fabric_connectivity.py, computeinstance_controller_test.go) and frameworks (Go+Ginkgo, pytest, ansible-test), but the test plan itself contains none of this. Matches G=0 calibration: detailed TCs with specific API calls but zero
Scope fidelity 1/2 All 9 requirements (R1-R9) have test cases and all 6 interface changes are referenced. However, the EP design dedicates an entire section (VMaaS: VM Placement Validation) with code to blocking VM creation when subnet count > 1 under cudn_evpn VirtualNetworks — this is half of the single-subnet-for-VMs constraint and has no test case. The design's unit test section explicitly lists computeinstance_controller_test.go tests for this. The Gaps section claims 'None identified' despite this omission.
Actionability 1/2 Every TC specifies preconditions, numbered steps with parameters, and expected results with specific observable outcomes. Steps include exact CLI commands, specific field paths, and concrete values. However, no TCs reference test file locations, fixture setup, helper functions, or existing test patterns to follow. An implementer would need to independently discover the test infrastructure. Matches A=1 calibration.
Consistency 1/2 Overview claims 17 total test cases but document contains only 15 (R1:1, R2:2, R3:1, R4:2, R5:3, R6:1, R7:1, R8:1, R9:1, DELETE:2). TC-DELETE-01/02 deviate from the TC-{req}-{NN} naming convention. Overview lists 'Additional operational tests: 2 deletion lifecycle tests + 1 skip-k8s-manager annotation test' but TC-R5-03 (the skip annotation test) is already grouped under R5, creating a double-count. Priority and automation values are consistent throughout.

Verdict: The test plan has strong specificity with concrete inputs/outputs but is automatically Rework due to zero grounding in test infrastructure, a missing VMaaS validation test case, and a count mismatch.

Feedback: Add grounding to every TC: reference the target test file (e.g., tests/test_evpn_vm_to_fabric_connectivity.py), framework (pytest/Ginkgo), fixtures (grpc client, k8s_hub_client), and existing test patterns to follow (e.g., 'follow pattern in test_virtual_network_lifecycle.py'). Add a test case for VMaaS VM placement validation — the design's computeinstance_controller validates subnet count and blocks VM creation when count > 1, which is untested. Fix the count mismatch: the overview claims 17 TCs but only 15 exist; reconcile TC-R5-03's categorization and recount.

Critical (2)

  1. Grounding score is 0: no test framework, test file, fixture, or helper references anywhere in the plan. Every TC should name the target test file, framework, and relevant fixtures/helpers.
  2. Missing test case for VMaaS VM placement validation (VM creation blocked when VirtualNetwork has multiple subnets under cudn_evpn). The EP design has an entire section with code for this validation (ComputeInstanceReconciler.validateSubnetForVM) but the test plan omits it entirely.

Important (2)

  1. Overview claims 17 total test cases but only 15 exist in the document (count by TC-ID). The 'Additional operational tests: 1 skip-k8s-manager annotation test' appears to double-count TC-R5-03 which is already under R5.
  2. TC-DELETE-01 and TC-DELETE-02 deviate from the TC-{req}-{NN} naming convention used by all other test cases. Consider TC-R10-01/TC-R10-02 or document the naming exception.

Suggestions (3)

  1. TC-R1-01 Step 1 ('Apply osac-installer Helm chart with cudn_evpn manager enabled') should specify the exact Helm values to set for reproducibility.
  2. Consider adding a test case for the FRRConfiguration auto-update behavior when CUDN is created with the evpn: true label, as this is a key integration point described in the design.
  3. TC-R2-01 references 'Mocked Netris fabric returning VNI values' in preconditions — specify which mock mechanism (envtest fake client, HTTP mock server, etc.) for grounding.

Score: 5/10 | Verdict: Rework

Dimension Score Notes
Specificity 2/2 TCs use concrete IPs (200.200.1.0/24, 200.200.1.3), exact field values (spec.network.topology=Layer2, spec.network.transport=EVPN), specific error codes (HTTP 400 FailedPrecondition), precise CLI commands (vtysh -c 'show bgp l2vpn evpn'), and measurable thresholds (RTT <10ms, Ready within 60s). Meets the S=2 calibration bar.
Grounding 0/2 Zero references to test infrastructure. No test frameworks (Ginkgo, pytest, ansible-test), no test file paths, no fixtures or helpers, no mention of envtest or Kind clusters. The design.md names specific test files (subnet_server_test.go, test_evpn_vm_to_fabric_connectivity.py) and frameworks (Go+Ginkgo, pytest), but the test plan itself contains none of this. Only production-side references (ConfigMap names, kubectl, oc commands).
Scope fidelity 1/2 R1-R9 mapped to TCs and IC-1 through IC-6 referenced. However, several requirements from the design's Phase 1 validation contract are uncovered: VMaaS VM-placement rejection when multiple subnets exist, NATGateway creation rejection, IPv6/dual-stack rejection, concurrent Subnet+VM create race serialization, MetalLB IPAddressPool readiness, ExternalIPAttachment preconditions, and template fail-closed on missing/mismatched namespace/NAD. The 'Gaps: None identified' claim is inaccurate.
Actionability 1/2 Every TC has preconditions, numbered steps with specific parameters, and concrete expected results with observable outcomes. However, no TC references where to implement the test (file path), which test framework to use, or which existing test pattern to follow. An engineer would need to cross-reference the design.md Test Plan section to determine implementation targets.
Consistency 1/2 Overview claims 'Total test cases: 17' but document contains 15 TCs (13 under R1-R9 + 2 DELETE). Overview says 'Additional operational tests: 2 deletion lifecycle tests + 1 skip-k8s-manager annotation test' but TC-R5-03 (the annotation test) is grouped under R5, not as a separate section. DELETE tests use TC-DELETE-XX naming instead of the TC-R{N}-XX convention. IC-4 is never referenced in any TC despite claiming 'IC-1 through IC-6' coverage.

Verdict: Test plan has strong specificity with concrete scenarios but zero grounding in test infrastructure triggers automatic Rework; scope gaps in validation contract coverage and a count mismatch compound the issue.

Feedback: Add grounding to every TC: name the test framework (Ginkgo for Go, pytest for E2E, ansible-test for playbooks), the target test file path, and relevant fixtures or helpers (e.g., 'grpc fixture, GRPCClient, wait_for_subnet_ready'). Cover the missing validation-contract requirements from the design: VMaaS rejection of VMs in multi-subnet VNs, NATGateway rejection, IPv6/dual-stack rejection, concurrent create serialization, and ExternalIPAttachment preconditions. Fix the overview count (claims 17, contains 15) and standardize TC-DELETE IDs to match the TC-R{N}-XX convention or document the separate scheme.

Critical (2)

  1. Grounding is zero: no test framework, file path, fixture, or helper referenced in any TC. The design.md names specific files (subnet_server_test.go, computeinstance_controller_test.go, test_evpn_vm_to_fabric_connectivity.py) and frameworks (Go+Ginkgo, pytest, ansible-test, envtest) but none appear in the test plan.
  2. Missing TC for VMaaS VM-placement rejection when VirtualNetwork has multiple subnets — a core design requirement with dedicated validation logic and error messages in the design.

Important (3)

  1. No TCs for several Phase 1 validation contract requirements: NATGateway creation rejection, IPv6/dual-stack rejection, concurrent Subnet+VM create race serialization, template fail-closed on missing/mismatched namespace/NAD, and ExternalIPAttachment preconditions.
  2. Overview count mismatch: claims 17 total test cases but document contains 15 (13 under R1-R9 + 2 under DELETE). The arithmetic in 'Additional operational tests: 2 deletion lifecycle tests + 1 skip-k8s-manager annotation test' does not reconcile with the total.
  3. 'Gaps: None identified' is inaccurate given the missing validation-contract coverage. Honest gap documentation with justification would score higher than silent omission.

Suggestions (3)

  1. Standardize TC-DELETE-01/02 IDs to follow the TC-R{N}-XX convention (e.g., TC-R10-01 for deletion lifecycle) or explicitly document the separate naming scheme in the overview.
  2. Verify IC-4 coverage: the overview claims IC-1 through IC-6 but IC-4 is not referenced in any TC's Interface Change column.
  3. For manual TCs (TC-R4-01, TC-R4-02, TC-R6-01, TC-R7-01, TC-R8-01, TC-R9-01), consider adding a 'Test Location' or 'Runbook' field pointing to the procedure document or test repo directory where these manual procedures will live.

Most TCs reach S=2 calibration: steps name exact API operations and expected results state precise observable outcomes.
Grounding 0/2 Zero references to test frameworks, test files, fixtures, helpers, or existing test patterns anywhere in the plan. Production code references (ConfigMap names, CUDN CR fields, gRPC methods) are present but the rubric explicitly excludes these from grounding. No mention of pytest, Ginkgo, envtest, Kind fixtures, grpc client helpers, wait_for_* utilities, or any test infrastructure.
Scope fidelity 1/2 R1-R9 are covered and deletion lifecycle is included. However, the design's own Test Plan section (design.md lines 1447-1648) enumerates many more validation tests not present in TestPlan.md: reject NATGateway/IPv6/dual-stack, concurrent create race safety, controller restart recovery at each provisioning phase, ExternalIPAttachment prerequisites, VM placement rejection in multi-subnet/fabric-only/non-Ready-CUDN scenarios, tenant bypass attempts, CaaS port-move exclusion, update/patch rejection,
Actionability 1/2 Every TC has preconditions, numbered steps with specific parameters, and expected results with concrete values. However, no TC references a test fixture, test file, helper function, or existing test pattern to follow. An engineer would need to independently discover the test framework, fixtures, and conventions before implementing. Fits A=1: structure present but missing implementation pointers.
Consistency 1/2 TC count claimed as 17 but actual count is 15 (verified by heading count). IC-4 is claimed covered ('6 of 6, IC-1 through IC-6') but never appears in any TC metadata table. TC-DELETE-01/TC-DELETE-02 break the TC-{req}-{NN} naming convention used by all other TCs. Priority and automation values are valid and consistent. Requirement headings are sequential and TCs are grouped correctly under their R-heading.

Verdict: Test plan has strong specificity with concrete scenarios but scores Rework due to zero grounding in the test codebase and significant scope gaps relative to the design's own validation contract.

Feedback: Add test infrastructure references: name the test framework (pytest/Ginkgo), specific test files or directories, fixtures (grpc client, k8s_hub_client, envtest), and helpers (wait_for_ready, etc.) for each TC. Expand scope to cover the design's Phase 1 validation contract (design.md lines 414-508) and the negative/unsupported-behavior tests enumerated in the design's Test Plan section (lines 1559-1648) — especially NATGateway rejection, IPv6/dual-stack rejection, concurrent create race safety, controller restart recovery, ExternalIPAttachment, and VM placement rejection in multi-subnet scenarios. Fix the TC count (15 actual vs 17 claimed), add coverage for IC-4, and normalize TC-DELETE-* IDs to the TC-{req}-{NN} scheme.

Critical (3)

  1. Zero grounding: no test framework, test file, fixture, helper, or existing test pattern referenced anywhere — an engineer cannot determine where or how to implement these tests
  2. Scope gap: the design's Phase 1 validation contract (design.md lines 414-508) lists ~30 validation rules; the TestPlan covers roughly half, missing NATGateway rejection, IPv6/dual-stack rejection, concurrent create serialization, MetalLB IPAddressPool readiness, ExternalIPAttachment constraints, tenant bypass prevention, and status/update rejection
  3. Scope gap: design's 'E2E tests — unsupported behavior and Phase 1 limits' section (lines 1615-1648) enumerates 10+ negative test scenarios (multi-cluster, inter-subnet VM routing, CaaS port-move, auto-VTEP, auto-gateway-MAC, update rejection) — none appear in TestPlan

Important (4)

  1. TC count mismatch: overview claims 17 test cases but document contains 15 TC headings
  2. IC-4 coverage gap: overview claims 'IC-1 through IC-6' all covered but IC-4 never appears in any TC metadata table
  3. 'Gaps: None identified' is inaccurate given the missing validation-contract and negative-test coverage
  4. Missing integration-level TCs for controller restart recovery at each sequential provisioning phase (fabric-complete, ConfigMap-read, K8s-job-creation, CUDN-readiness)

Suggestions (3)

  1. Normalize TC-DELETE-01/TC-DELETE-02 IDs to TC-{req}-{NN} scheme (e.g., assign a requirement heading for deletion lifecycle)
  2. Add a 'Test Implementation Notes' section per TC referencing the target test file path and key fixtures/helpers to use
  3. Consider splitting R5 (3 TCs) and R4 (2 TCs) coverage notes to clarify which are positive vs negative validation tests

Consistency 1/2 TC-IDs follow a consistent TC-R{N}-{NN} scheme, sequential within each requirement. Priority values (critical, high) and automation values (automated) are consistent. However, the coverage summary table lists R4 as having 2 test cases when there are actually 3 (TC-R4-01, TC-R4-02, TC-R4-03). The overall total of 14 is correct, but the per-requirement count for R4 is wrong. Score: 1.

Verdict: A thorough, implementation-ready test plan with strong specificity, grounding, and scope coverage, docked one point for a minor count mismatch in the coverage summary table.

Feedback: Fix the R4 row in the coverage summary table: it lists 2 test cases but there are 3 (TC-R4-01, TC-R4-02, TC-R4-03). Consider adding explicit coverage for Catalog Item interaction with default networking (the design describes a resolution order where Catalog/Template defaults take precedence before tenant defaults apply), even if just a note in TC-R4-01's expected results or a dedicated subcase. Otherwise the plan is implementation-ready.

  1. Coverage summary table shows R4 with 2 test cases but there are actually 3 (TC-R4-01, TC-R4-02, TC-R4-03); the per-requirement count is wrong even though the total of 14 is correct.

  1. The design's Catalog Item interaction section describes a resolution order (tenant input -> Catalog locked/default -> Template default -> tenant default networking) that is not explicitly tested. Consider adding a subcase or note in TC-R4-01 covering the scenario where a Catalog Item leaves networking editable/ungoverned so tenant defaults apply.
  2. TC-R2-01 step 5 (ExternalIPPool exhaustion during NAT-capable onboarding) is a distinct failure scenario bundled into an otherwise happy-path TC; consider extracting it as a standalone subcase for clarity.

Test Plan Review: TP-279

Score: 9/10 | Verdict: Ready

Dimension Score Notes
Specificity 2/2 Every TC names concrete gRPC methods, exact YAML payloads, specific CIDRs (10.200.0.0/16, 198.51.100.0/29), precise gRPC statuses (InvalidArgument, FailedPrecondition, PermissionDenied), and exact condition reasons (ResourcesPending, AllResourcesReady, VirtualNetworkProvisioningFailed). The shared test-data table provides concrete default values used across all TCs.

Consistency 1/2 TC-IDs follow TC-R{N}-{NN} with sequential numbering per requirement. All TCs are grouped under correct R headings. Metadata tables use consistent format (Test type, Priority, Automation) with valid values. The total of 14 TCs matches the actual count (R1:2 + R2:3 + R3:2 + R4:3 + R5:2 + R6:1 + R7:1 = 14). However, the coverage summary table lists R4 as having 2 test cases when R4 actually contains 3 (TC-R4-01, TC-R4-02, TC-R4-03). This is a minor count mismatch.

Verdict: High-quality, implementation-ready test plan with excellent specificity, grounding, scope fidelity, and actionability; one minor count mismatch in the coverage summary table prevents a perfect score.

Feedback: Fix the R4 row in the coverage summary table: it lists 2 test cases but R4 contains 3 (TC-R4-01, TC-R4-02, TC-R4-03). This is the only factual inconsistency in an otherwise thorough and well-grounded plan. The shared test-data table, per-TC implementation references, and exhaustive input/output matrices make this plan directly implementable.

  1. Coverage summary table R4 count mismatch: says 2 test cases but the document contains 3 (TC-R4-01, TC-R4-02, TC-R4-03). The total of 14 is correct for 3 TCs in R4, so only the per-requirement count is wrong.

Suggestions (1)

  1. Consider adding an explicit note in TC-R4-01 or a separate TC about Catalog Item / Template interaction with default networking resolution, even if full coverage is deferred to service-specific test plans — this would make the cross-reference boundary clearer to implementers.

The scope tightly matches the design with explicit non-goal documentation.

Suggestion: Simplify SecurityGroup to allow-only rules with implicit deny-on-first-rule

The current design defines SecurityGroupRule with an action field supporting both allow and deny. While powerful, supporting both actions introduces significant contract complexity that is not fully resolved in the current text:

  1. Multi-group composition — when a workload has multiple SecurityGroups attached, it's undefined whether rules from all groups are merged into a flat evaluation pool or evaluated per-group. With both allow and deny, the merge semantics matter (deny in Group A vs. allow in Group B).
  2. Specificity tie-breaking across tiers — the three-tier specificity ordering (CIDR prefix > protocol > port) doesn't define how cross-tier conflicts resolve (e.g. longer CIDR with any protocol vs. shorter CIDR with exact protocol).
  3. Stateful vs. stateless — the design never specifies whether rules are stateful (return traffic for allowed connections is auto-permitted) or stateless. This is a fundamental property that every tenant will encounter.
  4. Baseline vs. tenant catch-all precedence — it's unclear whether a tenant's catch-all deny any/any/any rule outranks the deployment baseline permit.

Proposed simplification — "Model B"

Drop the deny action entirely. Keep only allow rules with the following one-sentence evaluation contract:

"If any SecurityGroupRule exists on any attached SecurityGroup, allow only traffic matching at least one rule and deny everything else. If no rules exist, allow all traffic (deployment baseline permit-all)."

This gives you:

  • Frictionless onboarding — zero rules = everything permitted, no friction for new tenants.
  • Natural security progression — the moment a tenant adds their first rule, they're in allowlist mode. No separate "enable security" toggle needed.
  • AWS SG-style multi-group composition — union of allows across all attached groups. No deny-vs-allow conflict resolution needed.
  • No specificity ordering — with only allow rules, there are no action conflicts. Multiple matching rules simply mean "allowed" (any match = permit).
  • Easy stateful semantics — stateful connection tracking layers cleanly on top of allow-only rules.
  • Simpler API — the action field can be removed from SecurityGroupRule (every rule is implicitly allow).

What you'd lose

The ability to express "allow all of 10.0.0.0/8 except 10.0.1.0/24" as two rules. With allow-only, this requires multiple non-overlapping allow rules that carve around the exception. In practice, this pattern is rare in managed platforms and the complexity cost of supporting it (the four gaps above) is disproportionate.

Recommendation

Consider adopting allow-only rules with implicit deny-on-first-rule. This would resolve gaps 1–4 above, simplify the evaluation contract to a single sentence, and align the design with the proven AWS Security Group model — while keeping OSAC's permit-all baseline for frictionless tenant onboarding.

The permit-all policy change is directionally correct, but it is not propagated consistently through this PRD. The following updates are needed in enhancements/OSAC-3664-agentless-vlan-fabric-manager/prd.md:

  1. Lines 221–225 — policy definition

    Existing:

    Agentless VLAN inherits the Unified Networking deployment baseline: unmatched traffic is permitted by the hard-coded permit baseline unless a more-specific tenant SecurityGroup rule matches. A matching tenant deny rule blocks the traffic.

    Suggested:

    Agentless VLAN inherits the Unified Networking security contract: the provider-owned deployment baseline is hard-coded to permit. Tenant SecurityGroup rules use explicit allow or deny actions; the most-specific matching rule determines the outcome, and the baseline applies only when no tenant rule matches. The criteria below distinguish baseline-permitted traffic from traffic explicitly allowed or denied by a tenant rule.

  2. Lines 42–45 — Goal §2.1

    Existing:

    Machines in different subnets of the same network can reach each other when permitted by SecurityGroup rules.

    Suggested:

    Machines in different subnets of the same network can reach each other by default. An applicable SecurityGroup rule with an explicit allow or deny action can override that baseline, while machines in different networks stay isolated.

  3. Lines 136–143 — FR-3

    Existing:

    Machines on different Subnets of the same VirtualNetwork can reach each other when permitted by the applicable SecurityGroup rules.

    Suggested:

    Machines on different Subnets of the same VirtualNetwork can reach each other by default. An applicable SecurityGroup rule with an explicit allow or deny action overrides the deployment baseline according to most-specific-match semantics. Machines on different VirtualNetworks have no direct connectivity on the internal fabric.

  4. Lines 155–158 — FR-5

    Existing:

    Inbound traffic addressed to the external IP reaches the machine when permitted by the applicable SecurityGroup rules.

    Suggested:

    Inbound traffic addressed to the external IP reaches the machine by default. An explicit matching SecurityGroup allow permits the flow, while an explicit more-specific deny blocks it.

  5. Lines 162–166 — FR-6

    Existing:

    Outbound traffic permitted by the applicable SecurityGroup rules is source-address translated.

    Suggested:

    Outbound traffic is source-address translated by default. An explicit matching SecurityGroup allow permits the flow, while an explicit more-specific deny blocks it.

  6. Lines 227–229 — SecurityGroup creation

    Existing:

    A tenant creates a VirtualNetwork, Subnet, and SecurityGroup through the API and they reach a ready state.

    Suggested:

    A tenant creates a VirtualNetwork, Subnet, and tenant-created SecurityGroup with at least one explicit allow or deny rule using a supported direction, protocol, and IPv4 CIDR; all resources reach a ready state.

  7. Lines 232–236 — inbound access

    Replace the two criteria with:

    A tenant attaches an ExternalIP to a machine; inbound traffic with no matching tenant rule, or with a matching allow rule, reaches the machine through the deployment permit baseline.
    Inbound traffic matching a more-specific SecurityGroup deny rule is blocked.

  8. Lines 237–242 — outbound access

    Replace the two criteria with:

    A tenant creates a NATGateway; outbound traffic with no matching tenant rule, or with a matching allow rule, reaches an external endpoint through the NATGateway ExternalIP.
    Outbound traffic matching a more-specific SecurityGroup deny rule cannot leave through the NATGateway.

  9. Lines 243–247 — multi-subnet behavior

    Existing:

    Machines in different subnets of that network can reach each other when permitted by SecurityGroup rules.

    Suggested:

    Machines in different subnets of that network can reach each other by default; an explicit SecurityGroup allow permits traffic and a more-specific deny blocks it.

  10. Lines 251–255 — cross-subnet criteria

    Replace the two criteria with:

    Cross-subnet traffic with no matching tenant rule, or with a matching SecurityGroup allow rule, succeeds.
    Cross-subnet traffic matching a more-specific SecurityGroup deny rule is blocked.

The IPv4-only changes at lines 62 and 205 are consistent and do not require further adjustment.

Test Plan Review: TP-279

Score: 10/10 | Verdict: Ready

Dimension Score Notes
Specificity 2/2 Every TC specifies exact API methods, concrete CIDR values, precise gRPC status codes, exact condition reasons, and verbatim error messages. TC-R1-02 and TC-R4-01 each contain 10-row input/output matrices with specific field-level assertions. TC-R5-02 specifies the exact exhaustion message string. No vague expected results anywhere.
Grounding 2/2 Dedicated 'Test infrastructure and traceability' section maps four test levels to frameworks (Ginkgo v2, pytest), environments, and specific implementation anchor files. Every TC has 'Implementation references' to existing test files (e.g., default_networking_provisioner_test.go, it_default_networking_test.go). Named helpers (wait_for_tenant_condition, assert_grpc_rejected, GRPCClient, K8sClient) and fixtures (conftest.py, bounded polling helpers) throughout.
Scope fidelity 2/2 All six design goals covered: tenant onboarding (R2), optional network attachments (R4), auto ExternalIP (R5), auto-cleanup (R5), immutability (R4-02), and NetworkClass defaults (R1). All four non-goals documented. K8s-only mode, NATGateway capability gating, default ACL policy, deployment baseline, MetalLB prefix validation, Catalog Item interaction (correctly deferred to service-specific plans), and CLI flag mapping all addressed. No extraneous scope added.
Actionability 2/2 Every TC has structured Preconditions, numbered Steps with specific API calls and parameters, and Expected Results with concrete observable assertions. Shared test data table provides concrete default objects (tenant name, CIDRs, labels). Implementation references point to existing test files and patterns to follow. TC-R7-01 organizes by test level but still specifies exact CLI commands and validation expectations at each level.
Consistency 2/2 14 TCs in summary table matches 14 TCs in document body. Per-requirement counts (R1:2, R2:3, R3:2, R4:3, R5:2, R6:1, R7:1) are accurate. TC-IDs are sequential within each requirement (TC-R{N}-{01..NN}). Test level coverage claims in summary align with per-TC metadata. Priority (critical/high) and automation (automated) values used consistently. No contradictions between overview, coverage summary, test cases, or graduation gate.

Verdict: This test plan is implementation-ready: every requirement from the design is mapped to specific, grounded, actionable test cases with no scope gaps or internal inconsistencies.

Feedback: This is an exemplary test plan. The shared test data table, per-TC implementation references, and detailed input/output matrices make it immediately actionable. The only minor area for future enrichment would be adding explicit Catalog Item interaction test cases if that cross-cutting concern isn't fully covered by the referenced service-specific test plans, but the current scoping decision is well-documented and reasonable.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (0)

None.

Suggestions (2)

  1. Consider adding a cross-reference note in TC-R4-01 clarifying which service-specific test plans cover Catalog Item / Template precedence resolution before field-level defaulting, since the design defines this interaction explicitly.
  2. TC-R7-01 is organized by test level rather than as numbered steps with an expected results table; while still actionable, reformatting it to match the structure of other TCs would improve visual consistency.

Specificity 2/2 Every TC names exact gRPC methods, concrete CIDR values, precise gRPC status codes (InvalidArgument, FailedPrecondition, PermissionDenied), exact condition reasons (ResourcesPending, AllResourcesReady, VirtualNetworkProvisioningFailed, etc.), verbatim error messages, and specific label keys. Input mutation tables in TC-R1-02 and TC-R4-01 provide exhaustive input-to-expected-status mappings with specific field paths.
Grounding 2/2 The test infrastructure table maps each test level to its framework (Ginkgo v2/Gomega, pytest) and lists specific implementation anchors. Every TC includes Implementation references pointing to real unit, integration, and E2E test files. Specific fixtures (GRPCClient, K8sClient), helpers (wait_for_tenant_condition, assert_grpc_rejected), and conftest patterns are named. A shared test data table centralizes concrete object values for reuse across TCs.
Scope fidelity 2/2 All design goals are covered: NetworkClass defaults (R1), tenant onboarding with combined-manager and K8s-only paths (R2), NATGateway conditional support (R2-01/R2-02), readiness and failure recovery (R3), workload defaulting for VM/Cluster/BM with all field states (R4), immutability (R4-02), authorized replacement (R4-03), auto ExternalIP lifecycle (R5), capacity exhaustion and orphan handling (R5-02), all four non-goals explicitly tested as unsupported (R6), CLI parity (R7). Default ACL policy
Actionability 2/2 Every TC specifies preconditions (test data state, caller authorization, manager configuration), numbered steps with exact API calls and parameters, and concrete expected results with specific assertions. Implementation references point to existing test files as patterns to follow. The shared test data table eliminates guesswork about fixture values. TC-R7-01 is slightly more narrative but still specifies all inputs, outputs, and failure cases for unit/integration/E2E levels.
Consistency 2/2 14 TCs match the coverage summary count exactly. IDs follow TC-R{N}-{NN} with sequential numbering per requirement. All TCs are grouped under their correct R heading. Priority values (critical, high) and automation values (automated) are valid. Test type labels (Unit, integration, E2E, E2E rejection) align with the infrastructure table. Story references and gRPC status usage are consistent throughout.

Verdict: A comprehensive, implementation-ready test plan with exact API calls, concrete values, thorough test infrastructure grounding, complete design coverage, and consistent structure across all 14 test cases.

Feedback: This test plan is ready for implementation. The shared test data table, detailed input mutation matrices, and per-TC implementation references make it directly actionable. One minor refinement would be to extract the TC-R7-01 CLI test description into the same structured Preconditions/Steps/Expected Results format used by the other TCs for maximum consistency, though the current narrative form is still sufficiently detailed.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (0)

None.

Suggestions (2)

  1. TC-R7-01 uses a narrative format describing unit/integration/E2E expectations in prose rather than the Preconditions/Steps/Expected Results structure used by the other 13 TCs. Converting it to the structured format would improve consistency.
  2. Consider adding an explicit Gaps section documenting that Catalog Item interaction testing is delegated to service-specific test plans, since the design describes Catalog Item resolution order as part of this feature.

Feedback: Fix the TC-count inconsistency: the coverage summary table counts R3 as 2 test cases but TC-R3-03 (dependency ordering) exists in the document, making the actual count 16; update the summary total to 16 and the graduation gate from 'All 14' to 'All 16'. Consider adding an explicit 'Gaps' section documenting that Catalog Item resolution testing is deferred to service-specific test plans, since the design's Catalog Item interaction section is a non-trivial requirement area. The rest of the plan is strong and ready for implementation.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (1)

  1. TC-count triple mismatch: coverage summary table says 15 total (R3 counted as 2), actual document has 16 TCs (TC-R3-03 exists), and graduation gate says 'All 14 test cases have explicit implementation references.' All three numbers must be reconciled to 16.

Suggestions (2)

  1. Add an explicit 'Gaps' or 'Deferred coverage' section documenting that Catalog Item resolution testing (design section 'Catalog Item interaction') is deferred to service-specific VM/CaaS/BMaaS test plans, with cross-references to those plans.
  2. The graduation gate bullet 'All 14 test cases have explicit implementation references' should be updated to the correct count and could enumerate the TC-IDs for traceability.

PRD update is in #298. It defers SecurityGroup/ACL policy semantics from the Agentless VLAN feature and changes the scope of the requirements. Please rebase this design PR on top of #298 after the PRD update merges so the design and requirements remain aligned.

Test Plan Review: TP-279

Score: 9/10 | Verdict: Ready

Dimension Score Notes
Specificity 2/2 Every TC specifies concrete API calls (NetworkClasses/Create, Tenants/Create, VirtualNetworks/List), exact CIDRs (10.200.0.0/16, 198.51.100.0/29, 2001:db8::/32), precise gRPC statuses (InvalidArgument, FailedPrecondition, PermissionDenied), specific condition reasons (ResourcesPending, AllResourcesReady, VirtualNetworkProvisioningFailed), exact error messages ('ExternalIPPool exhaustion: no available capacity in any READY pool for IPv4'), and concrete label/field assertions. TC-R4-01 alone has a
Grounding 2/2 The 'Test infrastructure and traceability' section names frameworks (Ginkgo v2/Gomega, pytest), environments (in-memory DAO, Kind cluster, connected single-hub), and 15+ specific test files (default_networking_provisioner_test.go, it_default_networking_test.go, test_virtual_network_lifecycle.py). Fixtures (GRPCClient, K8sClient, wait_for_tenant_condition, assert_grpc_rejected) and a shared test-data table with concrete object values are provided. 13 of 16 TCs have labeled 'Implementation referen
Scope fidelity 2/2 All seven design requirements are mapped to TCs: NetworkClass defaults (R1), tenant onboarding with full default graph including SecurityGroup/NetworkACL/NATGateway (R2), readiness and recovery (R3), workload default resolution for VM/Cluster/BM (R4), automatic ExternalIP lifecycle (R5), unsupported behaviors (R6), and CLI defaulting (R7). Non-goals (per-tenant config, additional auto VN/Subnet, retroactive migration, UI) are documented in the overview. Shared contracts are cross-referenced to t
Actionability 2/2 Every TC has a metadata table (test type, priority, automation), preconditions with specific test object names and states, numbered steps or complete input/case tables, and concrete expected results with observable assertions. Implementation references point to existing test files for pattern replication. An engineer can implement tests directly from TC-R1-02's 10-row validation table, TC-R4-01's 16-row defaulting matrix, or TC-R3-01's 8-row readiness state table without guessing inputs, asserti
Consistency 1/2 TC-IDs follow TC-R{n}-{NN} and are sequential within each requirement. Priority values (critical, high) and automation values (automated) are consistent. However, three different TC counts appear: the graduation gate claims 'All 14 test cases', the coverage summary table totals 15, and the actual TC count is 16. The R3 row in the summary says 2 test cases but TC-R3-01, TC-R3-02, and TC-R3-03 exist (3 actual). Three TCs (TC-R3-03, TC-R5-03, TC-R7-01) lack the 'Implementation references' section t

Verdict: A thorough, implementation-ready test plan with excellent specificity, grounding, scope coverage, and actionability, held back from a perfect score only by a triple count mismatch (14/15/16) across the graduation gate, coverage summary, and actual TC inventory.

Feedback: Fix the three-way count mismatch: update the R3 row in the coverage summary from 2 to 3, update the total from 15 to 16, and update the graduation gate from 'All 14 test cases' to 'All 16 test cases'. Add 'Implementation references' sections to TC-R3-03, TC-R5-03, and TC-R7-01 to match the structure of the other 13 TCs. These are mechanical fixes that do not require rethinking any test logic.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (3)

  1. Coverage summary table says R3 has 2 test cases but TC-R3-01, TC-R3-02, and TC-R3-03 exist (3 actual); total should be 16, not 15.
  2. Graduation gate says 'All 14 test cases have explicit implementation references' but actual TC count is 16; the number 14 matches neither the summary (15) nor the actual count (16).
  3. TC-R3-03, TC-R5-03, and TC-R7-01 lack the 'Implementation references' section present in all other TCs; TC-R7-01 uses a different structure (Unit/Integration/E2E subsections) without anchoring to specific test files.

Suggestions (2)

  1. TC-R7-01 is significantly longer than other TCs and mixes unit, integration, and E2E descriptions in prose rather than the structured Preconditions/Steps/Expected Results format used elsewhere. Consider splitting into TC-R7-01 (CLI parsing unit tests), TC-R7-02 (integration parity), and TC-R7-03 (E2E external access flag) to match the granularity of other TCs.
  2. The shared test-data table defines 'Default SecurityGroup' as 'Empty allow-rule list; empty means default deny' and 'Default ACL policy' separately but does not include a concrete default NATGateway or ExternalIPPool entry; adding these would reduce ambiguity in TC-R5-* preconditions.
