What is being changed?

Phase 1 of AAP-87601 (AAP-98100): persist each activation Job’s Kubernetes namespace in the nullable RulebookProcess.activation_job_namespace field (schema migration 0077). Use the recorded namespace for monitoring, stopping, cleanup, and logs.

Why is this change needed?

Changing the worker’s namespace setting does not move an existing Job. Without its original namespace, lifecycle operations can look in the wrong place and incorrectly treat the activation as failed.

How does this address the issue?

New processes record the engine namespace when their Job is created. Lifecycle operations use that value; processes with a null value retain the legacy engine-default behavior.

Namespace resolution uses EDA_CONTAINER_GROUP_DEFAULT_NAMESPACE, falls back to the deprecated EDA_ACTIVATION_JOB_NAMESPACE with a warning, then to the service-account namespace. The Kubernetes engine also checks namespace access and verifies Job deletion.

Dependencies, blockers, or breaking changes

No new dependencies. This PR does not backfill existing processes or migrate running Jobs.

How was it tested?

  • 164 affected tests passed against a clean checkout of this commit.
  • On a fresh Kind cluster built from this commit, changing the worker setting left the original Job in aap-eda. One activation restart removed it and started a Running Job in eda-activations. Disabling the activation cleared Jobs and Pods from both namespaces.
  • The full suite was not rerun after the PR split. The previously observed API-root test failure also reproduces on the parent commit.

Note: This PR was developed with assistance from Claude AI and OpenCode (GPT-6 Sol).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Kubernetes activations can use a configured namespace, with fallback to the service account’s namespace. Namespace access is checked, and each process records its namespace for subsequent operations.
    • Kubernetes Jobs use consistent names, and cleanup verifies that Jobs and Pods are removed before restart or further status handling.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Cleanup failures preserve the process reference and prevent premature restarts; affected activations are reported as errors. Legacy activations continue to use their recorded namespace.

📝 Walkthrough

Kubernetes activations now resolve and verify namespaces, record each process’s Job namespace, and use it for later engine operations. Cleanup verifies that Jobs and Pods are deleted. The activation manager handles cleanup failures before applying terminal status changes or starting replacements.

Changes: Kubernetes activation lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Namespace resolution and resource cleanup
src/aap_eda/services/activation/engine/kubernetes.py, tests/integration/services/activation/engine/test_kubernetes.py, tests/unit/test_activation_job_namespace.py
The engine selects namespaces from the new environment variable, the deprecated fallback, or the service-account file. It verifies environment overrides, generates Job names through make_job_name, and checks that Jobs and Pods are deleted. Tests cover namespace access, resolution, naming, and deletion-watch retries.
Process namespace persistence and use
src/aap_eda/core/models/rulebook_process.py, src/aap_eda/core/migrations/0075_rulebookprocess_activation_job_namespace.py, src/aap_eda/core/migrations/0076_backfill_rulebook_process_activation_job_namespace.py, src/aap_eda/services/activation/activation_manager.py, tests/unit/test_namespace_lifecycle.py, tests/integration/services/activation/test_manager.py, tests/integration/core/migrations/test_0076_backfill_rulebook_process_activation_job_namespace.py, tests/integration/analytics/test_analytics_collectors.py
RulebookProcess adds a nullable activation_job_namespace field. A migration backfills existing Kubernetes processes. Kubernetes process creation records the current namespace, and later manager operations use the recorded namespace. Tests cover namespace switching, restoration, logging, migration, and analytics output.
Cleanup-gated activation handling
src/aap_eda/core/enums.py, src/aap_eda/services/activation/activation_manager.py, tests/integration/services/activation/test_manager.py, tests/unit/test_activation_job_namespace.py
The manager cleans up terminal containers before status handling. Kubernetes cleanup failures mark the activation ERROR and can prevent replacement starts while retaining process state. The terminal-status set and tests cover cleanup, restart handling, and failure cases.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 342e9

Activations whose Job cleanup fails transiently can get stuck in ERROR instead of restarting, and the namespace backfill migration can record a wrong namespace or fail on fresh installs without a service-account file. Resolve these before merging or explicitly accept them.

🟠 Major · Preserve the Kubernetes Job reference when unresponsive cleanup… · activation_manager.py:464-472

src/aap_eda/services/activation/activation_manager.py:464-472
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the Kubernetes Job reference when unresponsive cleanup fails.

When _cleanup(raise_on_error=True) raises ContainerCleanupError for KubernetesEngine, the finally block still calls _fail_instance(..., cleanup_already_done=True). This marks the process FAILED and clears activation_pod_id.

_check_non_finalized_instances() treats FAILED as finalized. A later explicit start() can therefore create another Job while the original Job may still exist. Automatic restart is skipped, and restart() also stops before creating a replacement when cleanup fails, so the consequence is limited to a later explicit start().

Handle Kubernetes cleanup failure like the monitor cleanup-failure branch. Set the activation to ERROR, preserve the process status and activation_pod_id, and re-raise the cleanup error. Keep the current behavior for non-Kubernetes engines.

The existing named tests use the generic ContainerEngine mock and should continue to expect FAILED. Add a Kubernetes-specific regression test instead of changing those tests.

@wfealdel Looks good the new column name will also come in handy in the future when we get a spec with the namespace in it.
We might be able to save that in this column. If there is a metadata.namespace we should be able to save it in the Rulebook Process.

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
  name: example-job
  namespace: my-namespace
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: worker
        image: busybox:latest
        command: ["echo", "Hello from OpenShift Job!"]
      restartPolicy: Never
  backoffLimit: 4

Is this going to be backported to 2.7?

Persist the Kubernetes namespace where each activation Job is created
on RulebookProcess.activation_job_namespace so that lifecycle
operations (monitor, stop, cleanup, logs) target the correct namespace
even when the namespace env var changes at runtime.

Model and migration:
- Add activation_job_namespace nullable TextField to RulebookProcess
  (migration 0075, based on 0074).
- Add ACTIVATION_TERMINAL_STATUSES frozenset to enums.

Engine (kubernetes.py):
- Extract shared helpers: resolve_activation_namespace(),
  verify_namespace_accessible(), make_job_name().
- resolve_activation_namespace() reads EDA_CONTAINER_GROUP_DEFAULT_NAMESPACE,
  falls back to deprecated EDA_ACTIVATION_JOB_NAMESPACE with warning,
  then to the SA namespace file.
- Refactor _set_namespace() to use shared helpers; reject inaccessible
  overrides on 4xx and retry transient server errors with backoff.
- Log environment-selected namespace overrides at DEBUG level.
- Verify Job and Pod deletion during cleanup. Skip the deletion watch
  when no Pods remain, while retaining post-deletion verification.

Activation manager:
- Use _instance_engine to target each process's recorded namespace,
  retaining the engine default for legacy processes with a null value.
- Record the engine namespace on new processes.
- Log each successfully started Kubernetes Job with activation name/ID,
  new instance ID and namespace; include the previous instance ID and its
  recorded namespace when available. Remove unscoped engine INFO
  messages.
- Map Kubernetes cleanup failures to lifecycle errors, retain the Job
  reference when deletion is uncertain, and block unsafe replacement
  or restart. For unresponsive activations, report ERROR without
  clearing the process; retain FAILED handling for other engines.
- Avoid repeating cleanup after a successful terminal-Job cleanup.

Tests:
- Cover namespace resolution and recording, isolated deprecated-env
  fallback, namespace-probe retries, deletion-watch behavior, Job and
  Pod deletion verification, and the analytics CSV contract.
- Cover cleanup failure and recovery, unresponsive Kubernetes cleanup,
  both FAILED restart-policy branches, and one-time Job cleanup.
- Cover first starts, prior recorded or unknown namespaces, and
  failed starts without a misleading success log.

Backfill activation_job_namespace for pre-feature Kubernetes
RulebookProcess records from the legacy execution namespace.

When a legacy row is still NULL at lifecycle time, persist and use the
control-plane (or deprecated legacy override) namespace instead of the
current configured default. This ensures a namespace change removes
the old Job before creating a replacement in the target namespace.

Retry Kubernetes cleanup before marking the activation as ERROR.

When cleanup of a completed or failed Kubernetes Job fails, monitor() sets the activation to ERROR and exits before _completed_policy() or _failed_policy() can schedule the ALWAYS or ON_FAILURE restart. Later monitor tasks do not run for ERROR processes, so the Job remains pending and the normal restart policy does not resume when Kubernetes recovers.

A project sync can conditionally enqueue a separate restart for enabled activations with restart_on_project_update, but that is not a cleanup retry owned by this monitor path. Keep cleanup retryable for monitoring, or enqueue a dedicated cleanup retry before applying the restart policy.

Do not treat the backfill value as historical when the legacy override was removed before migration.

If EDA_ACTIVATION_JOB_NAMESPACE is removed before migration 0076, the migration stores the service-account namespace for every null record. This matches the pre-PR runtime choice at migration time, but it makes that choice persistent. _instance_engine then stops resolving the namespace dynamically. Restoring the old override later cannot correct these records, so cleanup can target the wrong namespace. Backfill only when the original Job namespace can be established; otherwise leave the namespace unset.

Skip namespace resolution when no processes need backfilling.

On a fresh Kubernetes deployment, this .update() evaluates legacy_activation_namespace() even if the queryset is empty. If the migration runner has no service-account namespace file, migration fails with RuntimeError. A configured EDA_CONTAINER_GROUP_DEFAULT_NAMESPACE does not prevent that failure, although the engine can use that override without the file. Check for eligible rows before resolving the legacy namespace.

Remove support for the upstream-only EDA_ACTIVATION_JOB_NAMESPACE setting.

Persist the control-plane ServiceAccount namespace for activation Jobs that
predate namespace-aware lifecycle handling. The configured container-group
default remains the destination for new Jobs only.

Keep Kubernetes processes monitorable when Job cleanup fails, preserving the
recorded source namespace and Job reference for a later cleanup retry. This
prevents an unsafe replacement Job from being created in a new namespace.

If cleanup fails during disable, stop() leaves the activation in ERROR and its process in STOPPING. Neither state is eligible for automatic monitoring, so cleanup never retries after Kubernetes recovers. The Job reference is preserved, but a workload that survived cleanup can keep running. Could we keep both records eligible for reconciliation until cleanup succeeds?

Move configured-namespace validation from engine construction to Job
creation. Existing activation Jobs can then be monitored and cleaned up in
their recorded namespace when the configured destination is inaccessible.

Keep disabled activations and processes monitorable when cleanup fails, so
the scheduler retries rather than leaving a surviving Job orphaned.

Fold the namespace backfill into migration 0075 because neither migration
has been released.

The disable API sets the parent activation to STOPPING before enqueueing STOP. If cleanup fails here, that status is preserved and the request is consumed. The process remains RUNNING, so the scheduler dispatches it again, but the worker skips its STOPPING parent. Cleanup still never retries after recovery. Please keep failed Kubernetes stops eligible for reconciliation and cover the state produced by the disable API in the regression test.
