📚 Stacked PR — review & merge order: #996#1679#1683.
Step 1 of 3. Base main (rebased on latest main). Review the three commits on this branch: Tier-1 HA value layer → defer invocation-service/grpc-proxy → wire nats-auth-callout PDB. Merge this first.


Summary

Delivers the self-managed control-plane HA value layer under epic #985.

Operators turn on control-plane HA through a single Helmfile switch, highAvailability.mode. deploy/stacks/self-managed/global.yaml.gotmpl maps that mode onto chart values. The default is none, so local / CI / BDD installs keep today's chart defaults untouched.

Aligned with the SDD Self-Hosted Control Plane Resilience Configuration section (highAvailability:).

Closes

Part of epic #985. #989 (Tier-2 quorum semantics) is a follow-up — see Out of scope below.

⚠️ Deferred: invocation-service and grpc-proxy (until Envoy)

These two are stateless, but their multi-replica scaling is held at a single replica for now, pending Envoy support in the self-hosted stack. Worker callbacks are host-bound to the exact pod that accepted the request (per-pod pod-IP / DNS addressing), which is safe in a single cluster; the Envoy dependency is for the cross-cluster case (see the #987/#989 review). Until then they keep hostname anti-affinity and zone spread (no-ops at one replica) and get no HA PDB (a minAvailable: 1 PDB on a singleton would block node drains).

Configuration

highAvailability.mode (enum, replaces the earlier enabled + profile design):

mode Effect
none (default) No HA fields injected; existing env/chart replica, affinity, and PDB values unchanged.
ha-preferred HA sizing on; hostname anti-affinity and zone spread are best-effort (preferred anti-affinity, whenUnsatisfiable: ScheduleAnyway).
ha-enforced HA sizing on; hostname anti-affinity and zone spread are hard (required anti-affinity, whenUnsatisfiable: DoNotSchedule).
anything else Helmfile fail with a mode-validation error.

ha-preferred is the recommended setting for real multi-node deployments: HA guarantees at least two Ready pods, and preferred/ScheduleAnyway keeps the second pod schedulable even on small node pools instead of leaving it Pending. Use ha-enforced only when the pool is guaranteed to have enough distinct nodes/zones. Default stays none so local/CI/BDD single-node installs are unchanged; making ha-preferred the effective default for real deployments (without regressing local/CI/BDD) is a documented follow-up.

Enable in an environment file:

highAvailability:
  mode: ha-preferred

Zone label: zone spread uses the Kubernetes well-known key topology.kubernetes.io/zone. The cluster operator must label nodes (e.g. topology.kubernetes.io/zone=site-a|site-b); nothing needs to be passed through the Helmfile for this.

Schema and comments live in deploy/stacks/self-managed/environments/base.yaml (stateless, hotPath, nats, openbao, cassandra).

What this PR wires through global.yaml.gotmpl

Helpers

  • nvcf.ha.statelessReplicaCount, nvcf.ha.hotPathReplicaCount
  • nvcf.ha.statelessAffinity — hostname anti-affinity on app.kubernetes.io/instance (preferred vs required by mode)
  • nvcf.ha.statelessTopologySpreadtopology.kubernetes.io/zone spread (ScheduleAnyway vs DoNotSchedule by mode)

Stateless Deployments (active–active, no app leader election)

  • nvcf-api, admin-token-issuer-proxy, llm-api-gateway (when the LLM addon is enabled): replicaCount (2), hostname anti-affinity, zone topology spread, PDB (highAvailability.stateless.podDisruptionBudget), rollingUpdate maxUnavailable: 0
  • Adds a PodDisruptionBudget template to the nvcf-api chart (it previously had none, so the Tier-1 PDB was a no-op on the API); disabled by default, enabled by the Helmfile under HA
  • invocation-service, grpc-proxy: single replica (deferred, see above) — anti-affinity/zone-spread still rendered (no-op at 1 replica), no HA PDB

Hot-path helpers

  • rateLimiter, nats-auth-callout — raised to 2 replicas under HA, plus hostname anti-affinity, zone spread, and PDB (highAvailability.hotPath.podDisruptionBudget); reuse the stateless anti-affinity/topology-spread helpers. (nats-auth-callout PDB is now wired — addresses the review comment.)

Tier-2 (built-in quorum; no extra election layer)

  • Cassandra replicaCount 3 + HA PDB
  • OpenBao server.ha.enabled/replicas 3 + injector replica count
  • NATS config.cluster.enabled/replicas 3 + HA PDB

Out of scope / follow-ups

Chart-internal quorum semantics tracked under #989 are delivered in the stacked follow-up PR #1679 (Tier-2 peer anti-affinity for Cassandra/NATS/OpenBao, NATS JetStream RF, and the HA operator docs). Cassandra keyspaces already use NetworkTopologyStrategy + LOCAL_QUORUM, so that piece needed documentation rather than a change. Multi-replica invocation-service/grpc-proxy (Envoy-dependent), runtime failure testing, and a CLI node-spread check remain separate epic tracks.

Test plan

deploy/stacks/self-managed/tests/ha-value-wiring.sh (helmfile write-values, registered in the Makefile test target so it runs in CI):

  • mode: none — no replicaCount / podAntiAffinity / topologySpreadConstraints leak into stateless or hot-path values
  • mode: ha-preferred — stateless replicaCount 2 + preferred anti-affinity + ScheduleAnyway zone spread on topology.kubernetes.io/zone + API PDB; Cassandra 3 + PDB; OpenBao HA replicas 3; NATS cluster replicas 3; rateLimiter/nats-auth-callout replicaCount 2 + nats-auth-callout HA PDB; llm-api-gateway anti-affinity; rateLimiter zone spread
  • mode: ha-preferred (deferral guards) — invocation-service and grpc-proxy stay single-replica with no HA PDB
  • mode: ha-enforcedrequired anti-affinity + DoNotSchedule zone spread
  • invalid mode fails render
  • Default stack (mode: none) still matches pre-PR replica behavior for a local/BDD install

Rebased on latest main.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Self-managed deployments now support a disabled-by-default highAvailability configuration. Helmfile wiring applies HA replicas, affinity, clustering, and disruption budgets. Additional API, ESS, image, and gateway settings are wired. A Bash integration test validates disabled and enabled rendering.

Add PDB support to the API chart and wire the Tier-1 PDB

Add chart coverage for enabled and disabled PDB cases. The Tier-1 defaults enable minAvailable: 1; without this resource, voluntary disruption can evict all API pods.

Response to CodeRabbit review

Unused durability keys (nats.jetstream.replicaFactor, Cassandra replicationFactor / replicationStrategy / consistencyLevel): documented SDD schema for #989, not mapped in this PR. Cassandra init still uses replicaCount; NATS stream RF is app-side. Keeping the keys so the contract matches the SDD; we can remove them if we want no inert knobs.

Production required anti-affinity: declined for #986. SDD default is preferred so scheduling does not fail on small pools. Override: highAvailability.tier1.podAntiAffinity.type: required.

API PDB: agreed this is a gap. nvcf-api has no PDB chart template, so wiring highAvailability.tier1.podDisruptionBudget on the API release would have no effect. Tracked as #987 (chart hook + mapping). Invocation / grpc-proxy / admin-issuer already get the Tier-1 PDB where those charts support it.

grpc-proxy affinity render assert: reasonable test follow-up; not a functional bug. Can add in a small follow-on or #987.

addons.llm.pki.secretName string check: out of scope. That path came in from merging main (request-router PKI), not from HA. Please handle on the PKI / chart-values PR.

 #988)

highAvailability.mode enum (none/ha-preferred/ha-enforced) mapped through global.yaml.gotmpl to chart values for the stateless and hot-path tiers: replicaCount, hostname pod anti-affinity, zone topology spread, PDBs (including a new nvcf-api PDB template), and a surge rolling-update strategy. Default mode: none leaves single-node installs unchanged. Closes #986, #987, #988.
…until Envoy

Keep invocation-service and grpc-proxy at a single replica under
highAvailability, pending Envoy support in the self-hosted stack. Worker
callbacks are per-pod host-bound; multi-replica scaling is deferred per the
#987/#989 review until Envoy is available.

- global.yaml.gotmpl: pin both to replicaCount 1 under HA; drop the HA
  PodDisruptionBudget for them (a minAvailable:1 PDB on a singleton blocks
  drains); keep anti-affinity/zone-spread (no-ops at 1 replica).
- base.yaml: document the deferral in the highAvailability.stateless comment.
- ha-value-wiring.sh: assert both stay single-replica with no HA PDB under
  ha-preferred.
Address review: the PR listed nats-auth-callout as a hot-path service getting a
PDB under HA, but natsAuthCalloutService had no PDB wiring. The chart already
ships a podDisruptionBudget template/values, so map highAvailability.hotPath
.podDisruptionBudget onto it under HA (mirroring rateLimiter), with the chart's
own knob as the non-HA fallback.

Also document that flipping the shared base default to ha-preferred is a
follow-up (avoid regressing local/CI/BDD) and assert the nats-auth-callout HA
PDB in ha-value-wiring.sh.
