AAP-95023

What

  • Use namespace-qualified Service URLs for activation connections to Daphne and the EDA API.
  • Document administrator-managed networking prerequisites for activation Jobs in a separate namespace, including DNS, API/Daphne access, and PostgreSQL access for database-backed event sources.
  • Extend Molecule assertions for activation URLs and operator-generated NetworkPolicy specs.

Why

Activation Jobs running outside the EDA control-plane namespace need unambiguous Service endpoints and appropriate cross-namespace network access. The operator does not manage those cross-namespace policies; the guide explains the administrator-owned requirements.

Assisted-by: OpenCode / GPT-6 Sol (OpenAI)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for running activation Jobs in a dedicated execution namespace, including network, DNS, database access, and validation requirements.
    • Added a link to the networking guide under Advanced Configuration.
  • Improvements
    • WebSocket and token service addresses now include the operator namespace, supporting connections from activation Jobs running in a separate namespace.

Use namespace-qualified Daphne and API Service names so activation Jobs
in a separate namespace can resolve their WebSocket and token-refresh
endpoints.

Document administrator-owned network prerequisites and the PostgreSQL
exception for event-stream activations. Test the rendered URLs.

📝 Walkthrough

The operator now configures namespace-qualified WebSocket and token service URLs. The documentation describes network prerequisites for activation Jobs in a dedicated execution namespace, including control-plane and PostgreSQL access. The test checks the configured URLs.

Changes: Activation execution namespace networking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Service URLs and control-plane access
roles/eda/templates/eda.configmap.yaml.j2, molecule/default/tasks/eda_test.yml, docs/user-guide/advanced-configuration/activation-execution-namespace-networking.md, README.md
The WebSocket and token base URLs now include the operator namespace, and the test checks those URLs after waiting for the environment ConfigMap. The documentation covers execution namespace setup, control-plane access, and related egress prerequisites. The README links to the guide.
Database access and validation
docs/user-guide/advanced-configuration/activation-execution-namespace-networking.md
The guide describes PostgreSQL connectivity requirements, example network policies for operator-managed databases, external database controls, and a validation procedure for an enforced-policy cluster.

so it does not grant access to activation Pods in another namespace.

The following are additional, administrator-owned policies for an
operator-managed PostgreSQL database. They use the PostgreSQL Pod labels
generated by the operator; replace the placeholders and port with the values
for your deployment. The namespace and Pod selectors in each `to` or `from`
item are combined, so both must match. Keep the existing operator-managed
policies in place.

Use the configured port for managed PostgreSQL.

A managed database may use a non-default port. The generated connection secret uses that port, but the managed Service still exposes and targets only TCP 5432. A direct event-source activation using the configured port can therefore fail. Update the Service template and use a port placeholder in both policy examples.
