feat(vm-instance): allow pinning a static IP on secondary interfaces - #3900
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe VM instance API, schemas, and documentation now support optional static IPv4 addresses. The Helm template adds OVN annotations for configured network addresses, with tests covering primary and deprecated subnet inputs. ChangesStatic VM network IP configuration

`networks[].name` is the only per-interface field the chart exposes, so a tenant cannot choose the address of a VM's secondary interface, and `VMInstance.status` does not report it either. kube-ovn already accepts a per-network annotation for exactly this, `<nad>.<namespace>.ovn.kubernetes.io/ip_address`. This adds an optional `networks[].ipAddress` that renders it. The key is built from the same two expressions the template already uses to compose the multus reference `<namespace>/<nad>`, so the annotated network and the attached network cannot disagree. That matters more than it looks: a key kube-ovn does not recognise is ignored silently, with no admission error, and IPAM then allocates some other address. Rendering is unchanged byte for byte when `ipAddress` is unset. With it set, exactly one annotation line is added, for each interface that asks for one. `subnets`, the deprecated alias of `networks`, shares the `Network` type and so gains the field as well; it resolves through the same variable. No CIDR membership check: the chart does not know the subnet, which belongs to the `vpc` application. kube-ovn rejects an address outside the subnet. Generated files are updated accordingly, and unit tests cover the rendered annotation, its absence, the per-interface scoping and the deprecated alias.

Problem
networks[]exposes a single field per interface,name. A tenant can attach a VM to a VPCsubnet but cannot choose the interface's address, and
VMInstance.statusdoes not report theallocated one either — so the address can be neither set nor read through the application API.
ovn.kubernetes.io/ip_address, the annotation the template already renders behind alookup,does not cover this: it is unprefixed, so it targets the pod network, and it preserves an
address kube-ovn already allocated rather than requesting one. The two do not overlap.
What this adds
An optional
networks[].ipAddress. When set, the chart renders the per-network annotationkube-ovn reads for secondary interfaces:
The annotation key is built from the same two expressions the template already uses to
compose the multus reference
<namespace>/<nad>, rather than a separately derived equivalent.This is deliberate: a key kube-ovn does not recognise produces no admission error. The
annotation is ignored, IPAM allocates a different address, and the VM comes up looking healthy
on the wrong IP. Sharing the expressions makes the annotated network and the attached network
unable to disagree.
Backward compatibility
With
ipAddressunset,helm templateoutput is identical byte for byte tomain:With it set, the diff against
mainis exactly one line — the annotation above — and one lineper interface that requests an address; interfaces that do not are left alone.
subnets, the deprecated alias ofnetworks, shares theNetworktype and therefore gains thefield too. It resolves through the same
$networksvariable, so it behaves identically; a testpins that.
Tests
tests/network_ipaddress_test.yaml, four cases: the annotation is rendered with the requestedaddress; it is absent when no address is requested; only the interfaces that ask for one are
annotated; and the deprecated
subnetsalias is honoured. The three positive assertions failagainst

vpcapplication — so it cannot check it. kube-ovn rejects an address outside the subnet.
format: ipv4in the schema.cozyvalues-gendoes not appear to support a formatannotation; rather than hand-edit a generated file and break
codegen-drift, the constraint isstated in the field description. Happy to add it if there is a supported annotation I missed.
ipPool, nomacAddress. One field, one PR. A duplicate MAC breaks L2 for two tenantssilently and the chart cannot check uniqueness, so that one needs a design discussion rather
than a field.
