ESO-550: [US-001] Per-Component Replica Scaling

Jira: ESO-550
Phase: 1 of 3
Change: replicas-advanced-overrides

Description

Add per-component replica scaling with automatic leader election for the core controller. Users can set replicas (1-10) on any component's deploymentConfigs in ExternalSecretsConfig. When replicas > 1 on the core controller, --enable-leader-election=true is automatically injected.

Tasks Completed

  • T1_1: Add Replicas field to DeploymentConfig API with CRD validation and API tests ✓
  • T1_2: Apply replicas and leader election in controller with unit tests ✓

Files Changed

  • api/v1alpha1/external_secrets_config_types.go — added Replicas *int32 to DeploymentConfig
  • api/v1alpha1/zz_generated.deepcopy.go — regenerated deepcopy
  • config/crd/bases/operator.openshift.io_externalsecretsconfigs.yaml — regenerated CRD schema
  • api/v1alpha1/tests/.../externalsecretsconfig.testsuite.yaml — 6 new API test cases + 4 existing test fixes
  • pkg/controller/external_secrets/constants.go — added LeaderElectionArg constant
  • pkg/controller/external_secrets/deployments.go — extended applyUserDeploymentConfigs() with replicas and leader election
  • pkg/controller/external_secrets/deployments_test.go — 4 new test functions (17 test cases)

Verification

  • Build: PASS
  • Tests: PASS (make test-unit, make test-apis)
  • Go vet: PASS

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Configurable deployment replica counts are now supported for controller components.
    • Replica counts default to 1 and can be set from 1 to 10 independently per component.
    • Multiple core controller replicas automatically enable leader election.
    • Invalid replica values are rejected.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Deployment changes now correctly detect and apply replica-count and leader-election configuration updates.

Add Replicas field to DeploymentConfig API (1-10 range, default 1) and
extend the controller to apply replicas to operand Deployments. When
replicas > 1 on the core controller, --enable-leader-election=true is
automatically injected. Includes CRD validation, API integration tests,
drift detection, and comprehensive unit tests.

Phase 1 of replicas-advanced-overrides change (US-001).

Walkthrough

The change adds validated per-component replica configuration, defaulting to one replica. Deployment reconciliation applies replica counts and manages core-controller leader-election arguments for multi-replica deployments. Tests cover configuration, reconciliation, and drift detection.

Changes

Replica configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Replica configuration contract
api/v1alpha1/external_secrets_config_types.go, config/crd/bases/..., api/v1alpha1/tests/...
DeploymentConfig and the CRD now define Replicas with a default of 1 and valid values from 1 through 10. Tests cover defaulting, validation, maximum values, and independent component settings.
Deployment replica and leader-election reconciliation
pkg/controller/external_secrets/constants.go, pkg/controller/external_secrets/deployments.go
Deployment overrides apply configured replica counts. Core-controller deployments receive --enable-leader-election=true above one replica and remove the argument otherwise.
Reconciliation and drift validation
pkg/controller/external_secrets/deployments_test.go
Tests cover replica assignment, argument handling, preservation of existing settings, degraded-condition behavior, and detection of replica or argument drift.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 667be

If the expected core-controller container is absent or renamed, scaled deployments can run multiple replicas without leader election, risking concurrent reconciliation. This should be corrected before merge.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Return an error when the core-controller container is missing.

If the asset omits or renames containerName, this loop silently skips applyLeaderElection. The Deployment can then run multiple core-controller replicas without leader election.

Track whether the loop finds the container. Return an error when it does not find the container.

Proposed fix
+				found := false
 				for j := range deployment.Spec.Template.Spec.Containers {
 					if deployment.Spec.Template.Spec.Containers[j].Name == containerName {
+						found = true
 						applyLeaderElection(&deployment.Spec.Template.Spec.Containers[j], deployment.Spec.Replicas)
 						break
 					}
 				}
+				if !found {
+					return fmt.Errorf("container %s not found in deployment %s", containerName, deployment.GetName())
+				}
