Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

This change adds a K8up Helm chart with configurable deployment, RBAC, cleanup, metrics, and alerting resources. It also adds the KRR LimitStrategy for CPU and memory recommendations based on percentiles, peaks, buffers, data sufficiency, and HPA settings.

Changes

K8up Helm chart

Layer / File(s) Summary
Chart contract and defaults
k8up/.helmignore, k8up/Chart.yaml, k8up/values.yaml, k8up/README.md, k8up/templates/NOTES.txt
Defines chart metadata, packaging exclusions, configurable defaults, installation guidance, CRD handling, and upgrade notes.
Deployment and resource wiring
k8up/templates/_helpers.tpl, k8up/templates/deployment.yaml, k8up/templates/serviceaccount.yaml
Adds naming, labeling, service-account, and backup-image helpers. Renders the operator Deployment with configurable images, environment, probes, resources, security, and scheduling settings.
RBAC and cleanup resources
k8up/templates/operator-clusterrole.yaml, k8up/templates/executor-clusterrole.yaml, k8up/templates/user-clusterrole.yaml, k8up/templates/clusterrolebinding.yaml, k8up/templates/cleanup-hook.yaml
Adds operator, executor, aggregated user, binding, and Helm cleanup resources with conditional RBAC configuration.
Metrics services and alerts
k8up/templates/service.yaml, k8up/templates/prometheus/servicemonitor.yaml, k8up/templates/prometheus/prometheusrule.yaml
Exposes the metrics endpoint and optionally renders a ServiceMonitor and default or additional Prometheus rules.

KRR limit strategy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Limit calculation contract
robusta_krr/strategies/limit.py
Adds validated settings for CPU percentiles, memory buffers, and required data points. Calculates CPU requests and limits from collected values and memory requests and limits from per-pod peaks.
Limit strategy execution
robusta_krr/strategies/limit.py, robusta_krr/strategies/__init__.py
Adds metric loaders, filters insufficient data, skips HPA-managed resources, creates CPU and memory recommendations, returns RunResult, and exports LimitStrategy.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 5d882

This change adds a runtime recommendation strategy and a Kubernetes operator chart, but the current implementation can crash during valid CPU analysis, fail to match namespace-specific backup alerts, and mishandle RBAC settings in ways that can prevent installation or leave the operator unauthorized. These high-impact correctness and deployment issues should be fixed before merge.

1-101: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Honor rbac.create for cleanup resources.

When rbac.create=false, this template still creates a ClusterRole and ClusterRoleBinding. This violates the value contract and causes installation to fail for users who disable chart-managed RBAC because they cannot create cluster-scoped resources.

Wrap the cleanup hook resources in the same .Values.rbac.create condition, or provide an explicit separate cleanup-RBAC option.

Proposed fix

 apiVersion: v1
 kind: ServiceAccount

Install the CRDs before the Helm release.

The documented command sequence deploys the operator before its required CRDs. This conflicts with Line 27, which requires CRD upgrades before Helm upgrades. Apply the CRD manifest first.

Bind an existing ServiceAccount when RBAC is enabled.

When serviceAccount.create=false and rbac.create=true, Line 1 suppresses this binding. The Deployment still uses the supplied ServiceAccount, but it does not receive the rendered manager ClusterRole. The operator will fail its API operations with authorization errors.

Gate this resource only on .Values.rbac.create.

K8up k8up_jobs_total k8up_schedules_gauge metric namespace labels

💡 Result:

In K8up, the k8up_jobs_total and k8up_schedules_gauge metrics are used to monitor backup operations and scheduling, respectively [1][2][3]. The metric labels for these metrics are as follows: - k8up_jobs_total: This is a Counter metric that tracks the total number of jobs run. It includes the labels namespace and jobType [1][2][3]. The jobType label can take one of the following values: backup, check, archive, restore, or prune [1][2]. - k8up_schedules_gauge: This is a Gauge metric that tracks the number of active schedules managed by the operator. It includes the namespace label [1][2][3]. It is important to note that because these metrics use a CounterVec or GaugeVec implementation, the timeseries for a specific label combination (such as a specific namespace) may not appear in Prometheus until the operator has performed an action that triggers that specific label combination (e.g., running a job of a specific type in a namespace) [4]. Additionally, user feedback indicates that because these metrics are aggregated by namespace, they do not currently differentiate between individual backup jobs or schedules within the same namespace [5].

Citations:


Preserve namespace in K8upBackupNotRunning.

sum(rate(k8up_jobs_total[25h])) removes namespace, so and on(namespace) cannot match the namespace-labeled k8up_schedules_gauge series. Group by namespace. Also add k8up_schedules_gauge * 0 as a fallback because sum by returns no series when a namespace has no job metric yet. Test both cases.

Return the calculated CPU values.

Line 108 references cpu_request and limit, but neither name exists. With valid CPU metrics and no CPU HPA, run raises NameError before it returns either recommendation.

Return cpu_usage_request and cpu_usage_limit. If the CPU limit must remain unset as the class description states, return limit=None and remove the unused limit calculation.
