Only one OpenStackLightspeed instance in the openstack-lightspeed namespace is supported.

The oldest instance by creationTimestamp) reconciles normally. Any additional instance is marked with STATUS: FALSE before anything is created and stops reconciling

➜  oc apply -f cr2.yaml
openstacklightspeed.lightspeed.openstack.org/openstack-lightspeed-2 created
➜   oc get openstacklightspeed
NAME                     STATUS   MESSAGE

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Behavior Changes
    • Only one OpenStack Lightspeed instance is active per namespace. The oldest instance takes precedence; ties are resolved by name.
    • Additional instances are marked as duplicates and are not reconciled or scheduled for periodic polling.
  • Documentation
    • The installation guide now notes that only one instance is supported in the openstack-lightspeed namespace.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The controller selects one primary OpenStackLightspeed instance per namespace. It marks other instances as duplicates, removes their finalizers, and skips their resource reconciliation and periodic polling. Tests and installation documentation describe the selection rule and duplicate handling.

Changes

Singleton handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Duplicate condition and precedence rule
api/v1beta1/conditions.go, internal/controller/openstacklightspeed_controller.go, internal/controller/openstacklightspeed_controller_test.go, docs/install_guide.md
The controller selects the oldest instance in a namespace, using name order to break timestamp ties. Unit tests cover precedence and primary selection. The API defines a duplicate-instance message, and the install guide states that one instance is supported in the named namespace.
Primary-instance reconciliation
internal/controller/openstacklightspeed_controller.go, test/kuttl/tests/duplicate-openstack-lightspeed-instance/*
Reconcile returns listing errors. For non-primary instances, it sets the duplicate condition, removes the finalizer, and skips deletion and resource reconciliation. Duplicate instances are excluded from periodic polling. KUTTL resources and assertions cover duplicate status, finalizer removal, and cleanup.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Retry when the duplicate condition cannot be persisted.

If the deferred helper.PatchInstance fails, Reconcile still returns success. A new duplicate with no finalizer can then remain without Ready=False: this branch disables polling, and no metadata change necessarily triggers another reconcile. Propagate the patch error through the named return error so controller-runtime retries the request. The helper explicitly requires callers to propagate that error. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Overall, I think it looks good:) 👍 . There is just one thing that crossed my mind (ValidatingWebhook) and couple of extra small things. Let me know what you think about it:).

return r.reconcileStatus(ctx, helper, instance)
}

// isPrimaryInstance reports whether the given OpenStackLightspeed is the primary

suggestion (non-blocking): I know it is not mentioned in the ticket (which is why it is non-blocking 🙈 ), but it just crossed my mind.

I think it might be interesting to explore the introduction of a ValidatingWebhook into the operator. The ValidatingWebhook runs before the instance gets created in the cluster and allows you to perform some more complex checks on top of it.

In the ValidatingWebhook, we can check if an OpenStackLightspeed instance already exists. If it does, we can return an error (which will be nicely displayed to the user) and do not create the second instance in the cluster whatsoever.

We can also keep some of the validation logic here in the controller in case the ValidatingWebhook fails somehow (though it should not). For example, we use List here [1]. If it returns more than one OpenStackLightspeed instance, then we show an error status on both of them (Only one OpenStackLightspeed instance is allowed ...) and we error out.

Wait for duplicate reconciliation before checking status.

If the preceding create step finishes before reconciliation, this command reads an empty OpenStackLightspeedReady status and fails immediately. KUTTL runs TestAssert.commands at the beginning of the step; timeout: 120 does not retry this script. Add a bounded wait for OpenStackLightspeedReady=False before checking the message and finalizers.
