This PR is #378 plus the Kind migrate e2e. It does not close #365.

Summary

Add spec.networking.discovery.preferredEndpointType (IP default, Hostname) and spec.networking.clusterDomain (default cluster.local). Hostname announce uses per-pod DNS under the cluster headless Service. Cluster-owned StatefulSets set serviceName to that headless Service.

serviceName is immutable. The operator orphan-deletes and recreates the StatefulSet with the live pod template so WorkloadRevision still stages real template rolls.

A Kind e2e flips a Ready IP cluster, restores a legacy per-node serviceName, and checks the same pod UID stays Ready on IP announce. After a Hostname patch, --cluster-announce-hostname with a trailing-dot FQDN is allowed only on a new pod.

Features / Behaviour Changes

Same as #378. Hostname is the discovery mode switch. No per-node Services.

Implementation

Same as #378 for the operator. The e2e pauses the operator only while it creates the legacy StatefulSet. After unpause, orphanAndRecreateStatefulSet runs. The spec restores serviceName while announce is still IP, then patches Hostname.

Limitations

Testing

  • go test ./api/v1alpha1/ ./internal/controller/
  • go test -tags=e2e ./test/e2e/ -ginkgo.label-filter=Discovery on Kind. Passed.

Checklist

  • This Pull Request is related to one issue.
  • Commit message explains what changed and why
  • Tests are added or updated.
  • Documentation files are updated.
  • I have run pre-commit locally (pre-commit run --all-files or hooks on commit)

Implement valkey-io#365: networking.discovery.preferredEndpointType and
networking.clusterDomain; cluster-owned STS use the headless Service
as serviceName for per-pod DNS; Hostname announce and soft TLS+IP warning.

Keep live pod template when orphan-recreating STS for serviceName change
so WorkloadRevision still stages real rolls. Use networking.clusterDomain
for operator TLS ServerName. Document that orphan keeps pods.

Add unit tests for managed config, node discovery fields, and migrate helper.

If the StatefulSet is gone but the pod remains and WorkloadRevision
does not match, requeue instead of applying the full desired template.
Treat orphan Delete NotFound as success and still Create the live-template STS.

Use one DefaultClusterDomain; build absolute FQDNs (trailing dot);
reuse headlessServiceFQDN for announce; validate clusterDomain; extract
orphanAndRecreateStatefulSet; requeue AlreadyExists without StatefulSetError.

These are the E2E tests that build on top of #378

I plan to merge #378 first, and then rebase this PR. Simply validating the E2E tests for now.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds IP or hostname discovery settings and configurable cluster domains. Controllers propagate these settings to Valkey configuration and StatefulSets. Reconciliation supports service-name migration and transient retries. TLS/IP announcements produce a status warning. Unit and end-to-end tests cover the behavior.

Changes

Discovery networking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Networking contracts and validation
api/v1alpha1/..., config/crd/bases/..., docs/...
Networking schemas add clusterDomain and preferredEndpointType with defaults and validation. Valkey helper methods, deep-copy support, TLS warning constants, CRD schemas, and documentation are updated.
Announcement configuration and resources
internal/controller/config.go, internal/controller/valkeycluster_controller.go, internal/controller/valkeynode_resources.go, internal/controller/*_test.go
Controllers propagate discovery settings to Valkey nodes. Resource builders configure IP or hostname announcements, cluster-aware Services, StatefulSet names, and FQDNs. Tests cover defaults and propagation.
Reconciliation migration and TLS status
internal/controller/valkeycluster_controller.go, internal/controller/valkeynode_controller.go, internal/controller/valkeynode_resources.go, internal/controller/*_test.go
Reconciliation retries unsafe transitions and recreates StatefulSets when immutable service names change. TLS server names use the configured domain. TLS with IP announcements sets and clears a warning condition.
End-to-end discovery validation
test/e2e/valkeycluster_discovery_hostname_test.go
The end-to-end test validates IP announcements, legacy StatefulSet service-name recovery, hostname rollout, pod settings, readiness, and hostname-based CLUSTER SLOTS output.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to f9df2

The PR adds hostname-based discovery and custom cluster-domain handling, but the current implementation can accept unsupported workloads or invalid domains, derive inconsistent TLS names, and leave peers unresolvable during bootstrap. These correctness and availability risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Use removeConditionIfReason for the clear path.

The adjacent ConfigurationWarning block clears with removeConditionIfReason so a condition owned by another reason survives. This block calls meta.RemoveStatusCondition and removes TLSEndpointWarning regardless of reason. That is correct today because TLSWithIPAnnounce is the only reason, but a second reason later would be silently deleted.

Add two missing cases to these tests.

valkeyAnnounceArgsAndEnv falls back to IP announce when PreferredEndpointType is Hostname but the LabelCluster label is absent (internal/controller/valkeynode_resources.go, Lines 173-176). That branch is untested, and it is the branch that silently disables the requested behavior.

TestStatefulSetAfterServiceNameChange also does not assert that Generation, CreationTimestamp, ManagedFields, and Status are cleared, or that VolumeClaimTemplates are taken from live. Those fields decide whether the recreate Create call succeeds and whether existing PVCs stay bound.

Raise the polling interval for this Eventually.

The interval is 200ms with a 3 minute timeout. Each iteration runs five kubectl invocations, so a slow restore can spawn several thousand subprocesses and API calls. Use a 1s interval. The assertion still detects the restore quickly, and the Consistently block that follows already guards against pod replacement.

Apply the discovery validation contract to ValkeyNodeSpec.

Line 150 permits Hostname with workloadType: Deployment. Deployment pod names are not stable, so hostname announcements can become stale. Line 158 also accepts invalid cluster domains, which can produce an invalid announce FQDN.

Add the StatefulSet CEL rule and the ClusterDomain DNS validation markers here. Regenerate config/crd/bases/valkey.io_valkeynodes.yaml after the API change.

Propagate ClusterDomain even when announce stays IP.

clusterDomain is only set when PrefersHostnameAnnounce() is true. The ValkeyNode controller builds its TLS ServerName from node.Spec.ClusterDomain (internal/controller/valkeynode_controller.go, Line 940), and headlessServiceFQDN falls back to DefaultClusterDomain when that field is empty.

So a cluster with networking.clusterDomain: corp.local, TLS enabled, and the default IP announce gets a node-side TLS ServerName of valkey-<cluster>.<ns>.svc.cluster.local. instead of corp.local. The cluster controller uses cluster.GetClusterDomain() (Line 974), so the two client paths disagree for the same cluster.

Set ClusterDomain from the spec whenever the user configured a non-default domain, independent of the endpoint type. Keep it empty only when the cluster resolves to cluster.local, so existing clusters still avoid Spec churn.

🐛 Proposed fix
 	// Hostname announce primitives only when discovery selects Hostname.
 	// Leave empty for default IP so existing nodes do not get a needless Spec churn.
+	// ClusterDomain is propagated whenever it deviates from the default, because
+	// the node controller also derives TLS ServerName from it.

Kubernetes official documentation Service publishNotReadyAddresses headless per-pod DNS StatefulSet

💡 Result:

In Kubernetes, the publishNotReadyAddresses field in a Service specification is a boolean that, when set to true, instructs the control plane to disregard the readiness status of Pods when generating endpoint resources (Endpoints or EndpointSlices) [1][2]. Normally, Kubernetes only includes Pods that are ready in the DNS records and endpoint objects for a Service [3][4]. By setting publishNotReadyAddresses: true on a headless Service associated with a StatefulSet, all Pods—even those not yet marked as "ready"—are included in the Service's endpoint set [1][5]. This is particularly useful for distributed applications and StatefulSets where Pods require peer discovery and need to resolve each other's DNS names (such as individual pod SRV or A/AAAA records) as soon as they are scheduled, rather than waiting for them to pass readiness probes [1][6]. Key technical implications include: 1. Peer Discovery: For StatefulSets, enabling this allows Pods to resolve the hostnames of their peers (e.g., pod-0.service-name.namespace.svc...) immediately, which facilitates bootstrapping for clustered applications [1][7]. 2. Endpoint Controllers: The controllers responsible for generating Endpoints and EndpointSlice objects treat all Pods as "ready" regardless of their actual state when this field is enabled [1][2]. 3. DNS Records: While this mechanism forces the inclusion of unready Pods in the API objects, Pod DNS resolution is ultimately provided by the cluster's DNS service (e.g., CoreDNS) [3][4]. In some environments, cached DNS records may cause a slight delay before the new, unready Pod IP is resolvable, even when publishNotReadyAddresses is correctly configured [7][8]. The official documentation emphasizes that the primary use case for this field is specifically to support peer discovery in StatefulSets by ensuring that the internal DNS system propagates records for all Pods [1][2].

Set PublishNotReadyAddresses: true on the cluster headless Service.

internal/controller/valkeycluster_controller.go:520-525 sets clusterIP: None and the correct selector, but it does not publish unready endpoints. Without this field, StatefulSet Hostname announce can use unresolvable peer addresses during cluster bootstrap.

Greptile Summary

This change adds configurable discovery and cluster-domain handling for Valkey clusters. A TLS-enabled cluster using a custom cluster domain with default IP discovery currently passes no domain to its ValkeyNode, causing node management connections to use cluster.local rather than the configured DNS domain. The focused test reproduced the incorrect hostname and confirmed that propagating the configured domain produces the expected TLS ServerName.

Confidence Score: 4/5

Not safe to merge until TLS client hostname construction preserves the configured cluster domain for default IP discovery.

A focused executable Go test covered the TLS, custom-domain, and default-IP-discovery path through ValkeyNode construction and downstream TLS hostname generation. It observed the current fallback to cluster.local and the expected custom-domain hostname when the domain was propagated.

Files Needing Attention: internal/controller/valkeycluster_controller.go must propagate the cluster domain for TLS clusters; regression coverage should exercise the corresponding TLS hostname behavior in internal/controller/valkeynode_controller.go and internal/controller/valkeynode_resources.go.

    P1 Custom cluster domain is dropped for TLS clusters using default IP discovery

    • Bug
      • For a TLS-enabled ValkeyCluster configured with networking.clusterDomain: corp.test and default IP discovery, buildClusterValkeyNode leaves ValkeyNode.spec.clusterDomain empty. The ValkeyNode controller then builds the TLS ServerName with cluster.local, not the configured domain. The executed reproduction produced valkey-orders.apps.svc.cluster.local.; propagating the domain produced valkey-orders.apps.svc.corp.test..
    • Cause
      • buildClusterValkeyNode at internal/controller/valkeycluster_controller.go:924-931 assigns clusterDomain = cluster.GetClusterDomain() only within cluster.PrefersHostnameAnnounce(). Default discovery is IP, so the assignment is skipped even when TLS and a custom cluster domain are configured. buildNodeClientOption at internal/controller/valkeynode_controller.go:934-943 consumes the empty node field, and headlessServiceFQDN at internal/controller/valkeynode_resources.go:201-206 defaults it to cluster.local.
    • Fix
      • Propagate cluster.GetClusterDomain() to cluster-owned ValkeyNodes whenever a non-default/custom domain is configured (including default IP discovery), while retaining any intended compatibility behavior for omitted/default values. Add a regression test covering TLS plus custom clusterDomain plus omitted/default IP discovery.

P1 Custom-domain TLS name is dropped

For a TLS-enabled cluster with networking.clusterDomain: corp.test and default IP discovery, this branch leaves ValkeyNode.spec.clusterDomain empty. The node controller then falls back to cluster.local when constructing the TLS ServerName, so certificates issued for the configured cluster domain fail hostname validation during role detection and live configuration connections. Propagate cluster.GetClusterDomain() for TLS clusters as well as hostname-announcing clusters.

Artifacts

Current reconciliation output (empty domain fallback)

  • Ran the narrow Go test for TLS plus `corp.test` and default IP discovery; it shows an empty reconciled node domain and a TLS ServerName under `cluster.local`, confirming the fallback.

Propagated-domain comparator output

  • Ran the comparator subtest with the parent domain propagated to the node; it shows the TLS ServerName under `corp.test`, establishing the expected downstream behavior.

Narrow cluster-domain test source

  • Captured the exact authored Go test and its command metadata; it constructs the specified TLS/custom-domain/default-IP input and executes the reconciliation-to-FQDN path.

The UID and ownerReference assertions are exactly what makes this prove the property rather than look like it, thanks for picking them up.

One small thing on the hostname block. serverCommand reads the live pod, and a pod's container command is immutable once created, so the original pod cannot gain --cluster-announce-hostname without being replaced. That makes the Fail("original pod announced hostname") branch unreachable. The property it is aiming at is already carried by the uid assertion right below it, so the guard mostly reads as protecting something that cannot happen.

Which of the two should reviewers be reading? #378 and this one carry the same operator change, and your note about not being able to stack from a fork explains why, but nothing on either PR says which is the one to review. Right now someone landing on either can reasonably start reviewing the operator code, and the same comments end up split across both.

If the plan is still #378 first and a rebase here afterwards, saying so at the top of both descriptions would keep the review on one of them.

nit: Since we modify the operator in this test we should probably make sure no other test is allowed to run at the same time. If parallel e2e testing is ever introduced, this would be the first thing to break (..but sure there are a lot more blocking it.).
