Summary

Reverts #345, which added the experimental spec.activation_worker.activation_job_namespace field.

Why

The field caused the Operator to manage RBAC resources in an arbitrary user-selected namespace and required additional cluster-scoped permissions. That interface was experimental, upstream-only, and has not been backported to a stable release.

This revert removes the interface before it becomes a supported compatibility commitment.

Breaking change (upstream only)

The following EDA CR configuration is no longer supported:

spec:
  activation_worker:
    activation_job_namespace: <namespace>

This PR removes:

  • The custom CRD field.
  • Injection of EDA_ACTIVATION_JOB_NAMESPACE from that field.
  • Operator-managed target-namespace Role/RoleBinding creation and cleanup.
  • The associated elevated Operator RBAC.
  • The configured cross-namespace API/Postgres NetworkPolicy peers.

The Operator returns to its previous same-namespace activation-job behavior.

Users who tested this experimental configuration should:

  1. Disable affected activations and verify their Jobs, Pods, Services, and EDA-created Secrets are removed.
  2. Remove activation_worker.activation_job_namespace from their EDA CR.
  3. Review and remove any legacy target-namespace Role/RoleBinding left by the previous implementation.

Validation

Validated an OpenShift upgrade from the #345 implementation to this revert:

  • An existing EDA CR containing the deprecated field reconciled successfully after applying the revised CRD and Operator.
  • The generated EDA environment ConfigMap no longer contained EDA_ACTIVATION_JOB_NAMESPACE.
  • The activation worker rolled out successfully.

IMPORTANT

Before upgrading (i.e: changing the CRD, which removes the spec.activation_worker.activation_job_namespace field), any rulebook activations that are still running in the previous namespace must be stopped before, so they can be properly migrated to the default namespace (the same one running the rest of the control plane).

After performing the upgrade, the legacy target-namespace Role/RoleBinding resources will remain, as expected, for administrators to review and remove any stale/orphaned/duplicate rulebook activations that might exist in the legacy target-namespace.

📝 Walkthrough

The activation job namespace setting and its deployment support were removed. The EDA API and PostgreSQL network policies now select activation pods without a namespace restriction.

Changes: Activation job namespace removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove namespace configuration and RBAC
config/crd/bases/eda.ansible.com_edas.yaml, roles/eda/defaults/main.yml, roles/eda/templates/eda.configmap.yaml.j2, roles/eda/tasks/deploy_eda.yml, config/rbac/*, roles/eda/templates/eda-activation-job-namespace-rbac.yaml.j2, .ci/eda_v1alpha1_eda.activation_job_namespace.ci.yaml, .github/workflows/pr.yml
The CRD field, default, ConfigMap value, deployment tasks, and activation-job namespace RBAC resources were removed. The related CI fixture and workflow scenario were also removed.
Remove network policy namespace restrictions
roles/eda/templates/eda-api.networkpolicy.yaml.j2, roles/postgres/templates/postgres.networkpolicy.yaml.j2
Both network policies select activation pods labeled app: eda without a namespace restriction.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 95c29

Upgrades from installations that used a separate activation-job namespace retain the operator service account’s access to resources there. Add authorized migration cleanup before merging; this risk is limited to those upgrades.

Remove legacy activation-job RBAC during upgrade.

An upgrade from a release with a nonempty EDA_ACTIVATION_JOB_NAMESPACE can leave the old Role and RoleBinding in that namespace. The binding still grants the activation-worker service account create, delete, get, list, patch, update, and watch access to secrets, pods, pod logs, services, and jobs.

The current reconciliation removed the read-before-apply and cleanup steps. Add a migration cleanup path that reads the old ConfigMap value before applying the replacement and deletes both legacy objects. Ensure that path has authorization to delete namespaced RBAC objects in the old namespace. The current controller Role is namespaced, so simply restoring the old tasks does not establish cleanup for an arbitrary old namespace.

Review comment at @roles/eda/tasks/deploy_eda.yml around lines 22 - 26:
Add an upgrade cleanup path around the ConfigMap application that reads the
existing ConfigMap’s EDA_ACTIVATION_JOB_NAMESPACE before replacing it, then
deletes the legacy Role and RoleBinding from that namespace when the value is
nonempty. Ensure the cleanup identity has permission to delete namespaced RBAC
objects in that prior namespace; the current controller Role’s namespace-scoped
authorization is insufficient for arbitrary old namespaces.
