Summary

The cert-manager operator propagates the cluster-wide TLS security profile and adherence policy to cert-manager operand deployments. Existing e2e coverage only validated a single happy-path case, leaving profile types, adherence transitions, rollback, and override behavior untested.

Change

Rework the TLS profile e2e suite to add broad coverage across:

  • All TLS profile types (Modern, Intermediate, Old, Custom) under strict adherence

  • Legacy adherence behavior (no args injected)

  • Rollback from strict to legacy adherence

  • unsupportedConfigOverrides precedence over cluster-enforced TLS settings

  • Live profile switching between profiles

Summary by CodeRabbit

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Expanded cluster TLS profile support across adherence modes, overrides, rollback, and live transitions.
    • Added validation for TLS and cipher settings across components.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved recovery and consistency checks during TLS profile changes.
    • Increased resilience when validating deployment health during temporary service interruptions.
  • Tests

    • Expanded end-to-end coverage for certificate and cipher suite combinations.
    • Added configurable validation timeouts for more reliable health checks.

Walkthrough

The TLS profile end-to-end suite now covers adherence modes, profile-specific arguments, rollback, webhook overrides, and live profile transitions. It preserves cluster TLS state and supports configurable deployment polling timeouts.

Changes

TLS profile end-to-end validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
TLS fixtures and test lifecycle
test/e2e/tls_profile_test.go
Adds reusable TLS profiles and deployment targets. Saves and restores apiserver TLS configuration, clears overrides, and checks operator health.
Adherence, profiles, and webhook overrides
test/e2e/tls_profile_test.go
Adds S1–S8 scenarios for adherence modes, profile-specific cipher and operand arguments, rollback, and webhook override precedence.
Live transitions and resilient polling
test/e2e/tls_profile_test.go, test/e2e/utils_test.go
Adds S9 coverage for Intermediate-to-Modern switching. Allows verifyDeploymentArgs to use a positive timeout override and retry transient API-server errors.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fd082

The change is mergeable with owner awareness: a polling helper should pass its timeout context to Kubernetes requests so TLS profile tests stop reliably at their deadline; otherwise, affected e2e runs may hang or report misleading timeout behavior.

❌ Failed checks (1 error, 2 warnings)

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
No-Weak-Crypto ❌ Error S4 newly applies the Old profile; the vendored TLSProfiles table includes DES-CBC3-SHA, so the test injects 3DES/SHA1 cipher usage into operand arguments. Avoid applying the Old profile's legacy cipher set to operands. Test profile selection without deployment injection, or use a custom profile containing only approved cipher suites.
Test Structure And Quality ⚠️ Warning The added suite has many bare To(Succeed()) assertions for cluster updates and overrides, including lines 113-115, 274-283, and 306-316, without diagnostic messages. Add meaningful messages to every new update, override, and cleanup assertion so failures identify the failed operation and scenario.

I was just comparing scenario 1 and scenario 6. And looks like S6 is a superset of S1.
So if S6 passes (no args injected with Modern + Legacy), S1 should always pass too.
S1 only adds the nil profile case, which does not exercise a different branch today.
I think even if we drop scenario 1 in this case, we should be good. Let me know what do you think.

Thanks for the review. I see the logic, but I think S1 is worth keeping for a few reasons:

They test different API-level guarantees, not just different code paths.

S1 asserts: "when no TLS profile has ever been set, cert-manager operands are untouched." This is the day-0 / fresh-install state of any cluster.

S6 asserts: "when a profile is explicitly set to Modern but adherence is Legacy, operands are still untouched."
Both pass through the same early-return today, but they protect against independently plausible regression e.g:

  • A future change that adds "apply a default profile when tlsSecurityProfile is nil" — this would break S1 but leave S6 green, because S6 has an explicit non-nil profile.

There is also a subtle documentation value: S1 makes it explicit that cert-manager's TLS hook is opt-in — zero configuration means zero injection. S6 alone doesn't communicate that; it looks like the adherence policy is the only gate, whereas S1 shows the nil profile is also a valid no-op state.

Also since it's the first test in the Ordered suite, it also serves as a clean-slate baseline before all the mutation tests that follow. Happy to discuss further, but I'd prefer to keep both.

I see the issue. The techpreview jobs are running in a HyperShift Cluster, where the apiserver.config.openshift.io/cluster object is immutable from inside the guest cluster.

apiserver tlsAdherence field not available on this cluster: apiservers.config.openshift.io &#34;cluster&#34; is forbidden: ValidatingAdmissionPolicy &#39;config&#39; with binding &#39;config-binding&#39; denied request: This resource cannot be created, updated, or deleted. Please ask your administrator to modify the resource in the HostedCluster object

So to run these tests need would need a standalone OCP cluster with TechPreviewNoUpgrade FeatureSet enabled.

@bharath-b-rh, should we migrate the job to a standalone OCP instead of HyperShift, or do we have some alternative approach here?

Use prefix-aware checks when asserting that TLS flags are absent.

verifyDeploymentArgs uses exact set membership. For example, --tls-min-version= does not equal --tls-min-version=VersionTLS12. Each affected absence assertion can therefore succeed while a TLS argument remains. Add a prefix-aware absence helper, or change verifyDeploymentArgs to support explicit prefix matching for absence checks.

Kubernetes v0.35.2 PollUntilContextTimeout source callback context rest client Get context cancellation

💡 Result:

In Kubernetes v0.35.2 (via k8s.io/apimachinery), PollUntilContextTimeout is a helper function designed to simplify polling operations that require a timeout without an existing deadline [1][2]. It is defined in the k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait package [3]. The function creates a derived context with a timeout and handles its lifecycle automatically [1]: func PollUntilContextTimeout(ctx context.Context, interval, timeout time.Duration, immediate bool, condition ConditionWithContextFunc) error { deadlineCtx, deadlineCancel:= context.WithTimeout(ctx, timeout) defer deadlineCancel return loopConditionUntilContext(deadlineCtx, Backoff{Duration: interval}.Timer, immediate, false, condition) } Key behaviors regarding context, cancellation, and REST client interaction: 1. Context Management: When you invoke PollUntilContextTimeout, it internally creates a new context (deadlineCtx) using context.WithTimeout based on your provided base context and the specified timeout duration [1][4]. It ensures this derived context is cancelled via defer deadlineCancel as soon as the polling operation completes (whether it succeeds, hits the timeout, or encounters an error), preventing context leaks [1]. 2. REST Client Interaction: In practice, the condition function passed to PollUntilContextTimeout typically makes calls to the Kubernetes API using a REST client (e.g., k8s.io/client-go) [5]. It is critical to pass the context received by the condition function (ctx) into your API methods (e.g., client.Get, client.List, etc.) [5]. By doing so, if the polling timeout is reached or the parent context is cancelled, the context passed to the REST client is also cancelled [1][6]. This triggers the underlying HTTP request cancellation in the REST client, immediately stopping the network operation rather than waiting for it to complete [6][7]. 3. Cancellation Detection: Because PollUntilContextTimeout respects context propagation, if the polling is terminated due to a timeout or parent cancellation, the condition function will receive a cancelled context [6]. Callers can detect this by checking if the returned error matches context.DeadlineExceeded or context.Canceled [6]. This is an improvement over older polling methods (like the deprecated Poll/PollImmediate) which did not consistently allow for granular detection of context cancellation [6][7].

Pass the polling context to the Kubernetes client.

PollUntilContextTimeout passes its deadline context to the callback, but the callback discards it. Pass the callback context to Deployments(...).Get so the API request stops when the polling timeout expires.
