Summary

  • Define OSAC SecurityGroups as stateless by contract.
  • Document the stateful Kubernetes NetworkPolicy exception for VM-to-VM traffic that remains on the same OCP cluster.
  • Define SecurityGroups as VirtualNetwork-scoped policy objects with no standalone data-plane behavior.
  • Make enforcement explicitly attachment-scoped rather than Subnet-scoped across unified, default, VMaaS, CaaS, BMaaS, east-west, and CUDN documents.
  • Record the current Netris subnet-CIDR fan-out as follow-up Jira/code work; this PR is documentation-only.

Validation

  • pre-commit run --all-files
  • git diff --check
  • Semantic stale-claim scan

All passed. No implementation, protobuf, or Ansible files are changed.

Summary

  • Documentation: Updated Unified, Default, VMaaS, CaaS, BMaaS, east-west, and CUDN specifications.
  • SecurityGroups are VirtualNetwork-scoped policy objects. They have no standalone data-plane effect.
  • Fabric enforcement is stateless and applies only to attachments that reference a SecurityGroup. Unmatched new traffic is denied unless an allow rule matches; tenant-defined deny rules are unsupported.
  • Same-cluster VM-to-VM traffic may use stateful Kubernetes NetworkPolicy enforcement for established flows.
  • Netris subnet-CIDR fan-out remains follow-up Jira and implementation work.
  • API, controllers, database, authentication, deployment, and CI: The changes are documentation-only; no implementation changes are reported.
  • Tests and validation: Design test expectations and acceptance criteria were updated. The author reports that pre-commit run --all-files, git diff --check, and a semantic stale-claim scan passed.
  • Compatibility: No runtime or API compatibility change is reported. The documentation clarifies enforcement semantics. Replacement SecurityGroups apply to replacement workloads and attachments; existing bindings remain unchanged.

Risk classification

The applied risk label and labeling criteria were not supplied, so the classification cannot be determined. The available evidence also does not establish whether the change was close to another classification.

Walkthrough

The networking requirements and designs define SecurityGroups as attachment-scoped policies. They specify allow-only rules, default denial for unmatched new traffic, and stateless fabric enforcement. Some same-cluster VM traffic may use backend-specific stateful Kubernetes NetworkPolicy enforcement.

AI EP Review: EP-315

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

Criterion Score Notes
WHAT (clear need) 2/2 All 7 PRDs describe new platform capabilities: unified networking API, default resource creation, per-service networking (VMaaS/CaaS/BMaaS), east-west isolation domains, and VM-to-fabric bridging. Each affected persona (Cloud Infrastructure Admin, Cloud Provider Admin, Tenant Admin, Tenant User) has user stories under dedicated headings. The Unified Networking PRD uses 'tenant' and 'provider' rather than canonical persona names, but stories are clear. CUDN EVPN legitimately merges Tenant Admin / Tenant User under a shared heading. Coverage is strong across all PRDs.
WHY (justification) 2/2 Each PRD has a concrete Problem Statement naming specific pain: 6+ sequential API calls for default networking, fragmented per-service networking with no reuse, manual switch configuration for BMaaS, VM overlay invisibility on the physical fabric. The Unified Networking PRD includes success metrics (3/3 service types, 0/3 bypassing API). Pain points are specific and evidence-based, not circular.
User-Facing Focus 1/2 Design leakage in several places. The Unified Networking PRD's Terminology section defines internal concepts (Fabric Manager, K8s Manager, Fabric) that describe architecture rather than user-observable surfaces. CaaS FR-7 reads like a design document ('BMaaS provisions each selected host on the provisioning network, then moves the host's stored fabric_interface to the tenant network, reboots the host, and discovers its tenant-network DHCP address'). The SecurityGroup semantics across all PRDs reference internal enforcement mechanisms ('stateless fabric ACLs', 'Kubernetes NetworkPolicy enforcement') — these describe how enforcement works rather than what users observe. Platform vocabulary (OVN, Kubernetes, NetworkClass) is acceptable per the rubric, but mandating enforcement paths crosses into implementation.
Right-Sized 1/2 Individual PRDs are coherently scoped — the unified PRD defines the foundation, service PRDs extend it, east-west and CUDN EVPN are independent capabilities. However, significant restatement of SecurityGroup semantics occurs: the same allow-only, stateless-fabric, stateful-Kubernetes-NetworkPolicy language appears verbatim in FR-9/FR-10 of Unified Networking, FR-13 of Default Networking, FR-8 of VMaaS, FR-12 of CaaS, FR-13 of BMaaS, and in East-West and CUDN EVPN. Per-service PRDs explicitly say they inherit from the unified PRD, making this restatement redundant. The Unified Networking PRD also has a lengthy Terminology section (12 definitions) and 9 detailed gap descriptions that could be more economical.
Testability 2/2 Acceptance criteria across all PRDs are written as verifiable assertions that a PM or QA engineer can test by using the product: 'A Tenant User can create a ComputeInstance with --external-ip-attachment and no explicit network attachments', 'SecurityGroup rules on the VM attachment do not affect unrelated resources on the same Subnet', 'Creating a bare-metal server with more than one network attachment returns a maximum-one error'. One CUDN EVPN criterion ('FRR diagnostic commands show correct VNI state on OCP workers') requires internal tooling but is still verifiable. BMaaS NFR-2 specifies a measurable 2-minute target. Strong overall.

Verdict: The PRDs collectively define a clear, well-justified unified networking architecture with strong persona coverage and testable requirements, held back from top marks by design leakage (internal enforcement mechanisms in SecurityGroup semantics, CaaS provisioning details) and redundant restatement of SecurityGroup contract across all 7 PRDs.

Feedback: Reduce SecurityGroup semantics restatement: define the contract once in the Unified Networking PRD (FR-9/FR-10) and have per-service PRDs reference it with a single sentence rather than restating the full allow-only/stateless/stateful-exception language. This would also improve right-sizing. Rewrite CaaS FR-7 to describe user-observable outcomes ('the system configures network connectivity for selected hosts before cluster provisioning begins') rather than internal provisioning mechanics (provisioning network, fabric_interface move, reboot, DHCP discovery). For the Unified Networking Terminology section, consider moving internal-only concepts (Fabric Manager, K8s Manager, Fabric) to the design document and keeping only tenant/provider-visible concepts in the PRD.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (3)

  1. CaaS FR-7 describes internal provisioning mechanics ('BMaaS provisions each selected host on the provisioning network, then moves the host's stored fabric_interface to the tenant network, reboots the host, and discovers its tenant-network DHCP address') — this reads like a design document, not a PRD requirement. Rewrite to describe user-observable outcomes.
  2. SecurityGroup semantics (allow-only, stateless fabric, stateful Kubernetes NetworkPolicy exception) are restated nearly verbatim in 7 PRDs. The per-service PRDs explicitly inherit from the Unified Networking PRD — define the contract once there and reference it from the others.
  3. The Unified Networking PRD Terminology section defines internal architecture concepts (Fabric Manager, K8s Manager, Fabric) with implementation-level detail. These describe how the system is built, not what users observe. Consider moving to the design document.

Suggestions (3)

  1. BMaaS NFR-2 specifies 'within 2 minutes' for network connectivity configuration — verify this threshold is traceable to the source Jira issue or a clarification answer rather than invented.
  2. BMaaS success metrics (' 95% success rate') appear without a source reference — mark as TBD or cite the source.
  3. CUDN EVPN acceptance criterion 'FRR diagnostic commands show correct VNI state on OCP workers' requires admin CLI access to internal tooling — consider rewriting as a user-observable outcome (e.g., 'Cloud Infrastructure Admin can verify network segment state using documented diagnostic commands').

AI Design Review: EP-315

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

Criterion Score Notes
Feasibility 2/2 Proto schemas thorough with field types and validation rules. All CRUD lifecycle operations covered with specific error codes and recovery flows. SecurityGroup allow-only with deny-by-default is specific and implementable. Attachment-scoped enforcement model clearly described with concrete reconciliation flows through dispatcher to backend. Risks are specific with concrete mitigations across all designs.
Testability 2/2 New SecurityGroup-specific E2E tests added across all per-service designs: two-resource same-Subnet different-groups isolation, allow-only enforcement with deny-by-default, stateless fabric verification, and same-cluster NetworkPolicy exception. Unit tests cover validation logic. Integration tests describe Kind cluster infrastructure. Graduation criteria in per-service designs are measurable conditions.
Scope 2/2 All designs reference PRDs via frontmatter. Non-goals are specific with justifications. Real alternatives with rejection rationale present in every design. Cross-cutting dimensions addressed. The SecurityGroup semantics clarification is well-bounded and propagated consistently across all six affected design documents.
Architecture 2/2 All OSAC patterns followed consistently. Tenant isolation annotations present on all resources. SecurityGroup deletion dependency guard properly added to the unified networking guard table covering all three resource types. The stateless-contract/stateful-exception boundary for same-OCP-cluster VM-to-VM traffic is clearly articulated and consistent across all designs. Terminology defined and used consistently.

Verdict: Exceptionally thorough cross-cutting clarification of SecurityGroup semantics across the entire OSAC networking design suite, with consistent terminology, well-articulated enforcement boundaries, and concrete test coverage for the new semantics.

Feedback: The design suite is strong. One minor improvement: the unified networking design's Graduation Criteria, Upgrade/Downgrade Strategy, Version Skew Strategy, and Support Procedures sections remain placeholders ('to be completed when targeted at a release'). While the per-service designs fill these in, the parent normative contract would benefit from at least baseline criteria since child designs inherit from it. The open question on Gateway MAC Coordination in the CUDN-EVPN design should be resolved before implementation.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (2)

  1. Unified networking design (OSAC-1433) still has placeholder sections for Graduation Criteria, Upgrade/Downgrade, Version Skew, and Support Procedures. While per-service designs cover these, the parent normative contract should provide baseline criteria.
  2. CUDN-EVPN design has one unresolved open question (Gateway MAC Coordination Mechanism) that affects installation prerequisites.

Suggestions (2)

  1. Consider adding a brief note in the unified networking Security Considerations section about the SecurityGroup deletion dependency guard, since the guard table is in Implementation Details but the security narrative focuses on tenant isolation.
  2. The Alternatives section in unified networking now describes the separate k8s ACL driver as 'required' rather than 'rejected' — consider clarifying that this is a design evolution acknowledgment rather than an alternative not implemented.

Replace the unsupported update wording.

The API contract at Lines 90-102 allows only create, read, and delete. It also makes SecurityGroup fields and network attachment fields immutable. “Updating a group” and “Removing a reference” describe operations that the API does not support. Reword this paragraph in terms of replacement SecurityGroups and replacement workloads or attachments. Preserve existing bindings until the attached resource is replaced or deleted.

Suggested wording
- Updating a group reconciles only the attachments that reference it. Removing a reference removes enforcement from that attachment without changing other attachments in the same Subnet.
+ Creating a replacement SecurityGroup does not alter existing attachment bindings. New attachment references are reconciled to the replacement group. Replacing an attached resource without the reference removes enforcement from the replacement attachment without changing other attachments in the same Subnet.

This moves the responsibility of implementing the SecurityGroup to the as-a-service implementation rather than to the networking controllers.

For example, if the securityGroup takes effect only when added to the networkAttachements of the BMI, then the BMI controller will be the one responsible for configuring the router/firewall or whatever the backend is using.

IMO, this is not a good architecture and we are trying to mitigate this kind of behavior on existing flows in https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OSAC-5235

How about we create a NetworkAttachment new CRD in the networking API that can bind any resource (BM, VM, Cluster node) to a network resource such as:

A SecurityGroup is created in and belongs to a VirtualNetwork, but creating it
has no standalone data-plane effect. A SecurityGroup becomes
effective only when referenced by a resource network attachment. Its rules
apply only to that attachment (a VM virtual NIC, bare-metal physical

Won't it be easier for us to apply the SecurityGroup at the VN layer instead of per resource?

Since networking controllers are reconciling the network (and not as-a-service resources themselvs) I wonder why don't we just set rules on the gateway.

AFAIU, resource to resource rules can still be applied by setting the source/dest CIDR to a /32 mask and it also allows to set a wider policy per network rather than doing it per resource.
