OCPBUGS-109724: fix KubeVirt custom baseDomain ingress documentation - #9318
OCPBUGS-109724: fix KubeVirt custom baseDomain ingress documentation#9318jparrill wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
The existing documentation for KubeVirt HCP ingress with a custom baseDomain recommended a LoadBalancer Service with a pod selector (kubevirt.io: virt-launcher). This resolves to pod network IPs, but the guest router NodePort only listens on VM machineNetwork IPs, causing connection refused errors. Restructure ingress-and-dns.md to clearly separate the two ingress flows (baseDomainPassthrough vs custom baseDomain), document when baseDomainPassthrough is auto-enabled by the webhook, and replace the broken selector-based Service with a no-selector Service plus manually managed EndpointSlice pointing to VM machineNetwork IPs. Add a troubleshooting section for CanaryChecksRepetitiveFailures and a new KubeVirt recipe for the full custom ingress setup with MetalLB.

status, and traffic-flow fenced blocks in
docs/content/recipes/kubevirt/custom-ingress-with-metallb.md. No content changes
are needed beyond annotating these fences.
- Around line 273-285: Update the ingress DNS instructions around the
EXTERNAL_IP retrieval to handle both LoadBalancer ingress forms: use an A record
when .status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip is populated, and use a CNAME targeting
.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname when only a hostname is provided.
Ensure the guidance does not suggest using a CNAME for an IP address and retains
the requirement that the record is routable from outside the cluster and inside
guest VMs.
- Around line 252-256: Update the EndpointSlice manifests in
docs/content/how-to/kubevirt/ingress-and-dns.md lines 252-256 and
docs/content/recipes/kubevirt/custom-ingress-with-metallb.md lines 188-192 so
each VM IP is placed in its own separate endpoints entry, rather than listing
multiple addresses under one entry.
- Around line 410-415: Update the hairpin troubleshooting guidance in
docs/content/how-to/kubevirt/ingress-and-dns.md lines 410-415 and
docs/content/recipes/kubevirt/custom-ingress-with-metallb.md lines 216-223:
describe the failure as VIP reachability, NAT, or return-path trouble because
the curl uses the external IP directly and bypasses DNS, and remove any
instruction to enable SNAT on the MetalLB L2Advertisement; reference the service
or load-balancer path for SNAT configuration instead.
- Around line 188-193: Update the VMI address extraction commands in
docs/content/how-to/kubevirt/ingress-and-dns.md:188-193 and
docs/content/recipes/kubevirt/custom-ingress-with-metallb.md:121-124 to select
the configured machineNetwork IPv4 interface by name rather than
status.interfaces[0], then strip any CIDR suffix before using the address in the
IPv4 EndpointSlice.
In `@docs/content/how-to/kubevirt/troubleshooting-kubevirt-cluster.md`:
- Line 36: Update the oc patch payload in the baseDomainPassthrough
troubleshooting instruction to quote the wildcardPolicy property name, keeping
the existing patch operation and value unchanged.
In `@docs/content/recipes/kubevirt/custom-ingress-with-metallb.md`:
- Around line 71-80: Update the hcp-ingress-pool IPAddressPool example so its
address range excludes the VM machineNetwork addresses, including 192.168.216.50
and 192.168.216.51, and remains disjoint from the documented current and future
VM address allocation.
- Around line 142-163: The Step 5 Service manifest must not present unexpanded
shell variables as directly applicable YAML. Update the manifest example to use
a shell heredoc that expands CLUSTER_NAME, HCP_NAMESPACE, HTTPS_NODEPORT, and
HTTP_NODEPORT, or replace them with explicit placeholders and document the
required substitution step.
- Around line 227-255: Update the NodePool example to place the JSON patch array
in the documented hypershift.openshift.io/kubevirt-vm-jsonpatch annotation on
metadata, removing it from spec.platform.kubevirt. Preserve the existing
/spec/template/spec/dnsPolicy and /spec/template/spec/dnsConfig patch paths and
values.

KubeVirt VirtualMachineInstance status.interfaces interface order name ipAddress CIDR secondary network interface
💡 Result:
In KubeVirt, the status.interfaces field of a VirtualMachineInstance (VMI) provides a list of network interfaces attached to the VMI, including both primary and secondary networks [1][2][3]. Interface Ordering and Determinism KubeVirt ensures that the order of the status.interfaces list is deterministic to prevent unnecessary API patch requests (often referred to as "patch flooding") [4][5]. Recent updates to KubeVirt have implemented logic to sort these interfaces, typically by name, before updating the VMI status to ensure consistent, stable output [4][5]. Key Interface Status Fields Each item in the status.interfaces list is a VirtualMachineInstanceNetworkInterface object [1]. Key fields include: - name: The user-defined name of the interface, which corresponds to the network assigned to it in the VMI spec [1]. - interfaceName: The internal name of the interface as seen inside the guest virtual machine (e.g., eth0, eth1) [1][6]. - ipAddress: The primary IP address associated with the interface [1]. It is often the first item in the ipAddresses list [1]. - ipAddresses: A complete list of all IP addresses associated with the interface [1][6]. - mac: The hardware MAC address of the interface [1]. - infoSource: Indicates the origin of the reported data, such as domain (Libvirt), guest-agent, or multus-status [1][7][2]. - podConfigDone: A boolean indicating whether the pod-level infrastructure (e.g., Multus attachment) for that interface is ready [8]. Secondary Network Interfaces Secondary network interfaces are managed via Multus and NetworkAttachmentDefinitions [2][3]. When a secondary network is added—either at creation or via hot-plugging—KubeVirt updates the VMI status.interfaces list to reflect its state [9][2][6]. The infoSource field helps distinguish the status of these interfaces, confirming whether the network has been successfully wired from the Pod to the guest domain [2]. If an interface appears in the Pod's CNI status but not in the VMI status.interfaces, it may indicate that the hot-plugging process is still in progress or that the guest agent has not yet reported the connection [7][2][8].

💡 Result:
In KubeVirt, the VirtualMachineInstanceNetworkInterface object is used within the VirtualMachineInstance status to report the network state [1][2]. The structure typically includes the following fields: - name: The name of the interface, which corresponds to the name of the network assigned to that interface in the VirtualMachineInstance specification [3][1]. - ipAddress: An optional field representing the primary IP address of the Virtual Machine interface [3][1][2]. - ipAddresses: An optional field containing a list (array of strings) of all IP addresses associated with the Virtual Machine interface [1]. These fields are found within the status.interfaces section of a VirtualMachineInstance resource, providing visibility into the runtime network configuration and assigned addresses of the VM [1][2].

KubeVirt VMI status.interfaces ipAddress CIDR slash example
💡 Result:
In KubeVirt, the status.interfaces field of a VirtualMachineInstance (VMI) provides networking details, including IP addresses, for the interfaces attached to the VM [1][2]. The status includes two primary fields for IP addressing: - ipAddress: A single string field that reports the primary IP address (typically the first address from the list of available IPs) [3]. - ipAddresses: A list of strings containing all IP addresses associated with that interface, including CIDR notation (e.g., /24 or /64) [3][1]. Example VMI status output: status: interfaces: - interfaceName: eth0 ipAddress: 10.244.0.23/24 ipAddresses: - 10.244.0.23/24 - fe80::858:aff:fef4:17/64 mac: 0a:58:0a:f4:00:17 name: default infoSource: domain, guest-agent Key Considerations: - Information Sources: The infoSource field indicates how the data was gathered: domain (based on the VM specification), guest-agent (reported by the QEMU guest agent inside the VM), or both [1]. - Data Availability: IP addresses are not always immediately available upon VMI creation. If a guest agent is used, there may be a delay as it must be active and report the information to the virt-handler [4][5]. - Dual-Stack Support: The ipAddresses list format was introduced to support dual-stack networking (IPv4 and IPv6) [3]. - Accessing Status: You can retrieve this information using kubectl with JSONPath [6][7]: kubectl get vmi -ojsonpath="{.status.interfaces}"

Kubernetes EndpointSlice multiple addresses per endpoint kube-proxy behavior addresses after first
💡 Result:
In Kubernetes, while the EndpointSlice API allows each endpoint to contain an array of multiple addresses (up to 100), kube-proxy currently ignores any addresses beyond the first one [1][2]. Specifically, kube-proxy only processes the first element of the addresses list (i.e., addresses[0]) for each endpoint [3][4]. This behavior is a documented limitation: the official Kubernetes API documentation explicitly states that no semantics are defined for additional addresses beyond the first, and kube-proxy does not utilize them [1][2]. The EndpointSlice controller, which generates these resources within the control plane, is designed to populate exactly one address per endpoint [1][2]. If you manually create or modify EndpointSlices to include multiple addresses, kube-proxy will not load balance traffic to those additional addresses, nor will it incorporate them into its routing rules (such as iptables or IPVS) [3][5]. This design choice persists despite the addresses field being an array, largely for historical compatibility and to maintain a simple, predictable model where each endpoint represents a single, fungible network destination [3][5][6].

Kubernetes official Service v1 API LoadBalancerIngress ip hostname fields
💡 Result:
In the Kubernetes Service v1 API, the LoadBalancerIngress object represents the status of a load-balancer ingress point [1]. The ip and hostname fields are defined as follows: - hostname (string): This field is set for load-balancer ingress points that are DNS-based (typically used by providers like AWS) [2][3][1]. - ip (string): This field is set for load-balancer ingress points that are IP-based (typically used by providers like GCE or OpenStack) [2][3][1]. These fields are optional and indicate where traffic intended for the service should be sent [1]. Additionally, the LoadBalancerIngress object may include an ipMode field, which specifies how the load-balancer IP behaves (e.g., "VIP" or "Proxy"), and a ports field, which provides information about the ports exposed by the load balancer [2][3][1].

Handle IP-based and hostname-based load balancers separately.
The command reads only .status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip. For a hostname-based load balancer, .hostname is populated instead, so $EXTERNAL_IP is empty. Use an A record for ip and a CNAME targeting hostname; a CNAME cannot target an IP address.

MetalLB L2Advertisement SNAT configuration documentation
💡 Result:
MetalLB L2Advertisement does not perform SNAT (Source Network Address Translation) itself [1][2]. SNAT behavior for LoadBalancer services is managed by the Kubernetes service externalTrafficPolicy configuration, which interacts with how MetalLB handles traffic routing in L2 mode [1][2]. SNAT and External Traffic Policy: - externalTrafficPolicy: Cluster (Default): Kubernetes performs SNAT on incoming traffic [1][2]. When using MetalLB in L2 mode, the traffic is routed to a leader node and then distributed to pods across the cluster via kube-proxy, which replaces the client's source IP with the node's IP [1][2]. - externalTrafficPolicy: Local: SNAT is skipped [1][2]. In this mode, traffic is routed only to pods residing on the same node that receives the traffic [1][2]. MetalLB's L2 speaker logic accounts for this by only electing nodes with available local endpoints as the leader for that service, thereby preserving the original client source IP [1][2]. L2Advertisement Configuration: The L2Advertisement Custom Resource (CR) is used to control which IP address pools are advertised and from which nodes or interfaces [3][4][5]. It does not contain settings to enable or disable SNAT [3][6][4]. Standard configuration for an L2Advertisement includes: apiVersion: metallb.io/v1beta1 kind: L2Advertisement metadata: name: example namespace: metallb-system spec: ipAddressPools: - pool-name nodeSelectors: - matchLabels: kubernetes.io/hostname: node-name interfaces: - eth0 To control SNAT, modify the spec.externalTrafficPolicy field in your Service definition rather than the L2Advertisement resource [1][2]. Setting this to Local will preserve the client source IP [1][7].

Use the documented HyperShift JSON-patch interface.
Place the JSON patch array in the hypershift.openshift.io/kubevirt-vm-jsonpatch annotation on the NodePool or HostedCluster, not under spec.platform.kubevirt. Keep the /spec/template/spec/dnsPolicy and /spec/template/spec/dnsConfig paths.

227 - 255, Update the NodePool example to place the JSON patch array in the
documented hypershift.openshift.io/kubevirt-vm-jsonpatch annotation on metadata,
removing it from spec.platform.kubevirt. Preserve the existing
/spec/template/spec/dnsPolicy and /spec/template/spec/dnsConfig patch paths and
values.
