Summary

Introduces a new NetworkPolicyReconciler that automatically creates and manages Kubernetes NetworkPolicy resources for the Authorino and Limitador operand deployments. These policies restrict ingress traffic to only the ports each operand requires and only from namespaces that contain Gateway resources managed by the topology.

  • Authorino NetworkPolicy allows ingress on gRPC (50051), HTTP (5051), and OIDC discovery (8083) ports by default, with port values sourced from the Authorino CR spec when available. OIDC discovery is left open (empty from) while gRPC and HTTP are scoped to gateway namespaces.
  • Limitador NetworkPolicy allows ingress on gRPC (8081) and HTTP (8080) ports by default, with port values sourced from the Limitador CR spec when available. Both rules are scoped to gateway namespaces.
  • Pod selectors are derived from the linked operand Deployment's pod template labels via the topology DAG, falling back to kuadrant.io/managed: true when the deployment is not yet available.
  • NetworkPolicies are owned by their respective operand CR (Authorino/Limitador) via ownerReferences, enabling garbage collection on operand deletion.
  • Merge logic preserves user-added labels and only triggers updates when spec or managed labels actually change.
  • New topology links (LinkAuthorinoToDeployment, LinkAuthorinoToNetworkPolicy, LinkLimitadorToNetworkPolicy) and watchers are added to wire the reconciler into the existing policy machinery controller.
  • RBAC rules for networking.k8s.io/networkpolicies are added to the operator role, bundle CSV, and Helm chart.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The controller now watches Kubernetes NetworkPolicies, links them to Authorino and Limitador, and reconciles ingress rules through a dynamic Kubernetes client. Startup, control-plane registration, dependency events, RBAC, release metadata, and unit tests were updated.

Changes

NetworkPolicy management

Layer / File(s) Summary
Topology links and registration
api/v1beta1/topology.go, internal/controller/state_of_the_world.go
NetworkPolicy identifiers and links were added for Authorino and Limitador. The controller now watches and registers managed NetworkPolicies and the Authorino Deployment.
Policy generation and reconciliation
internal/controller/networkpolicy_reconciler.go, internal/controller/networkpolicy_reconciler_test.go
NetworkPolicyReconciler generates, merges, discovers, and persists Authorino and Limitador policies. It derives deployment labels, gateway namespace peers, and configured or default ports. Tests cover helpers, generation, merging, discovery, subscriptions, and construction.
Controller startup and dependency events
cmd/main.go, internal/controller/state_of_the_world.go
Networking API types are registered. Enabled child-operator CRDs are applied before manager startup. The control-plane reconciler and bootstrap runnable are registered. Missing dependencies emit warning events.
Controller permissions and release metadata
config/rbac/role.yaml, charts/kuadrant-operator/templates/manifests.yaml, bundle/manifests/kuadrant-operator.clusterserviceversion.yaml
RBAC grants NetworkPolicy lifecycle permissions and additional control-plane, DNS operator, CRD, OLM, and event operations. The CSV adds the owned CRD and DNS operator image, and raises the minimum Kubernetes version to 1.25.0.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to f0941

This PR adds automatic NetworkPolicies for Authorino and Limitador, but the current implementation still has compile-blocking errors and reconciliation defects that can leave isolation missing or stale, apply policies to the wrong resource, or expose operand ports to all workloads in a Gateway namespace. Merge should be blocked until these issues are fixed.

Share the policy names instead of duplicating the string literals.

internal/controller/networkpolicy_reconciler.go declares the same names as AuthorinoNetworkPolicy and LimitadorNetworkPolicy. The link functions repeat the literals. If one side changes, the link silently stops resolving and the reconciler loses the existing policy. Export the names from this package and use them in both places.

Set the update flag when an owner reference is added.

update comes only from mergeNetworkPolicy. If a policy already exists without the Authorino owner reference, and the labels, ingress rules and pod selector all match, the new owner reference is written to the in-memory object only. No Update call follows, so the policy is never garbage-collected with its operand. The Limitador block at Lines 155-177 has the same gap.

Do not mutate the cached object, and compare PolicyTypes too.

current points at the object stored in the topology cache. The function writes into it before the API call succeeds, so a failed write leaves the cache holding desired state and the next reconcile reports no change. Deep-copy first.

Two further gaps in this function:

  • current.Labels[key] = dValue panics if the matched policy has no labels, because assignment to a nil map is not allowed.
  • Spec.PolicyTypes is not compared, so a manual edit that removes Ingress is never corrected.

if there are no gateways yet, "from" for the gRPC/HTTP rules is empty = “allow all”. Would it be safer to skip those two rules until a gateway exists, so those ports stay closed until we know which namespaces should be allowed? - same for limitador (OIDC can stay as it is)

Instead of falling back to "kuadrant.io/managed: true", could we skip creating/updating the network policy until "linkedDeploymentLabels" returns real Deployment labels? That avoids briefly selecting every managed pod in the namespace.

Gate the NetworkPolicy task on operand availability.

The task runs unconditionally. The Limitador and Authorino reconcilers are gated at Lines 822-831. If neither operator is installed, GetAuthorinoFromTopology and GetLimitadorFromTopology return nil, hasLinkedDeployment returns an error for each operand, and NetworkPolicyReconciler.Reconcile logs two errors on every reconcile. Gate the task with the same flags.

Do not write a NetworkPolicy with an empty pod selector.

linkedDeploymentLabels returns nil when the linked Deployment pod template has no labels. generateLimitadorNetworkPolicy then sets PodSelector: metav1.LabelSelector{MatchLabels: nil}. An empty pod selector selects every pod in the namespace. Because PolicyTypes contains only Ingress, and Ingress is empty when no Gateway exists, all ingress traffic to every pod in the Kuadrant namespace is denied. This affects the operator, Authorino, and any other workload in that namespace.

The test at internal/controller/networkpolicy_reconciler_test.go Line 567 asserts this nil selector, so the behaviour is currently locked in.

Skip policy generation when the pod labels are empty. The Authorino path at Lines 291-293 uses a fallback label instead, so the two paths also disagree.

🐛 Proposed fix
 	labels := linkedDeploymentLabels(&controller.RuntimeObject{Object: lObj}, topology)
+	if len(labels) == 0 {
+		return nil
+	}

Note: Reconcile must then handle a nil return before it calls mergeNetworkPolicy.

adjust Reconcile to handle the nil policy before calling mergeNetworkPolicy, and

Issues

  1. [major — confirm intent] Operand metrics/monitoring ingress is silently blocked
    internal/controller/networkpolicy_reconciler.go (generateAuthorinoNetworkPolicy ~L496, generateLimitadorNetworkPolicy ~L583)
    The policies only open OIDC (Authorino) and gRPC/HTTP (both, gateway-scoped). Since PolicyTypes: [Ingress] with a limited rule set denies everything else, Prometheus scraping of the operands' /metrics endpoints will be blocked once these policies land — unless metrics ride on an already-allowed port. For Limitador with no gateways, the ingress list is empty, i.e. a deny-all-ingress policy. Kuadrant ships observability tooling, so this seems likely to break metrics collection in the field. Please confirm whether an ingress allowance for the monitoring namespace is intended to be omitted (the follow-up operator PR does open metrics, which makes the omission here look accidental).

  2. [major — verify at runtime] Owner reference built from possibly-empty TypeMeta
    networkpolicy_reconciler.go:294-301 and 352-359
    ownerRef := metav1.OwnerReference{
    APIVersion: authorinoObj.GroupVersionKind().GroupVersion().String(),
    Kind: authorinoObj.Kind,
    ...
    }
    Typed objects pulled from the topology/informer cache frequently have TypeMeta cleared, so Kind/GVK can be empty at runtime → an owner ref with empty apiVersion/kind, which the API server rejects. Combined with the "log errors, never requeue, always return nil" design, that would silently prevent policy creation. Tests set TypeMeta by hand, so they can't catch it. Please verify against a live cluster that authorinoObj/lObj carry populated TypeMeta; if not, source Kind/APIVersion from known constants. (Same pattern recurs in the downstream fork PR.)

  3. [medium] mergeNetworkPolicy mutates the cached object in place
    networkpolicy_reconciler.go:539-566
    current is the pointer from getNetworkPolicies → topology → informer cache. The merge writes directly to it (current.Labels[key] = …, current.Spec.Ingress = …, current.Spec.PodSelector = …) and then SetOwnerReferences is called on the same object. Mutating shared cache objects is a classic controller-runtime footgun and can corrupt the cache / cause subtle diffs. Operate on current.DeepCopy() before mutating.

  4. [minor] Owner-reference-only changes are never persisted
    networkpolicy_reconciler.go:308-319 (and Limitador equivalent)
    The update flag passed to writePolicyToCluster comes solely from mergeNetworkPolicy, which compares labels/ingress/pod-selector — not owner references. So if an existing managed policy is missing its owner ref but its spec already matches, the appended owner ref is computed and then dropped (no write). GC would silently not work for that policy. The fork PR fixed exactly this by having its setOwnerRef return an updateRef flag; consider mirroring that here.

  5. [nit] getNetworkPolicies robustness
    networkpolicy_reconciler.go:437-446 — make([]*NetworkPolicy, len(policies)) plus the unchecked policy.(*controller.RuntimeObject) assertion means a non-RuntimeObject entry panics, and a failed inner cast leaves a nil in the slice that later policy.GetName() calls would dereference. Low risk given the Kind filter, but prefer make([]..., 0, len) + append with comma-ok on both assertions.

  6. [nit] Normal "operand absent" state is recorded as a reconciliation error
    networkpolicy_reconciler.go:273-279, 331-337 — when Authorino/Limitador legitimately doesn't exist (disabled, or not created yet), hasLinkedDeployment returns an error that's appended to errs, flipping the span status to Error and logging at Error level (in addition to the V(1) line). That's a misleading signal for a routine condition. Consider treating "no linked object" as a non-error skip.

  7. [nit] Typos in comments/messages
    "from this poing" → point (×2), "nil resource: *contronller.RuntimeObject" → controller, "provided resoucre has nil Object" → resource, "port values are hardcode" → hard-coded. Also writeChecks is a type alias to an anonymous struct (= struct{...}) — a named type would be more conventional.

  8. [nit] Reconcile duplication
    The Authorino and Limitador blocks in Reconcile are ~50 near-identical lines (find existing → merge → build owner ref → dedupe → write). Extracting a helper taking (name, generatedPolicy, ownerObj) would cut the duplication and make Add verify CI tests and SDK download #4 fixable in one place.

Point number one in the above seems most important, it would not be good to lose metrics because of these polcies. But I guess since it's an ingress only policy atm, maybe the egress alone is enough to keep the metrics working?
