- Description of the problem which is fixed/What is the use case
Update kata-monitor deployment to use HTTPS (port 8443) with TLS certificates managed by OpenShift's service-ca controller. This aligns with upstream kata-containers/kata-containers#13257, which adds --tls-cert-file and --tls-key-file flags to kata-monitor binary.

- What I did

  • Update Service to port 8443 and add serving-cert-secret-name annotation
  • Configure DaemonSet to mount TLS certs from kata-monitor-certs secret
  • Pass --tls-cert-file and --tls-key-file flags to kata-monitor command

- Test Results

Environment

  • Cluster: OCP 4.22.0-0.nightly-2026-09-02-125503 (AWS, 3 compact nodes)
  • Operator image: quay.io/thejasn/openshift-sandboxed-containers-operator:1.14.0-monitor
  • kata-monitor image: quay.io/redhat-user-workloads/ose-osc-tenant/osc-monitor:c92e9f5445838574aa4faf8e1708156bde6c3a32 (includes upstream TLS support from kata-monitor: add TLS support kata-containers#416)
  • FBC catalog: quay.io/thejasn/openshift-sandboxed-containers-operator-fbc-catalog:v1.14.0-monitor

TLS configuration verified on monitor pod

Command args — listening on HTTPS port 8443 with TLS cert/key flags:

  "/usr/bin/kata-monitor",
  "--listen-address=:8443",
  "--log-level=debug",
  "--runtime-endpoint=/run/crio/crio.sock",
  "--tls-cert-file=/etc/kata-monitor/certs/tls.crt",

  "--tls-min-version=VersionTLS12",
  "--tls-cipher-suites=TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,..."
]

TLS cert volume mount — certs from kata-monitor-certs secret (managed by OpenShift service-ca):

  "mountPath": "/etc/kata-monitor/certs/",
  "name": "kata-monitor-certs",
  "readOnly": true
}

Volume source — secret with tls.crt and tls.key:

  "name": "kata-monitor-certs",
  "secret": {
    "secretName": "kata-monitor-certs",
    "items": [
      { "key": "tls.crt", "path": "tls.crt" },

    ]

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The metrics Services request the kata-monitor-certs serving certificate and expose TCP port 8443. The monitor DaemonSet mounts the generated Secret and starts kata-monitor with HTTPS and TLS settings. The ServiceMonitors use HTTPS, the OpenShift service CA, certificate verification, and the metrics service DNS name. Secret events enqueue reconciliation, and the Secret resource version updates the DaemonSet pod template.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6e3a1

Certificate rotation cannot restart monitor pods, potentially leaving metrics unavailable after certificate expiry. This should be fixed before merge.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

The pull request adds --tls-cipher-suites= for kata-monitor at controllers/openshift_controller.go:480, using tlsCipherSuitesEnvValue. That existing helper applies the OpenShift TLS profile and maps IDs from both tls.CipherSuites() and tls.InsecureCipherSuites() without filtering weak suites. The OpenShift Old profile includes DES-CBC3-SHA; the dependency maps it to TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA. Therefore, an Old or equivalent custom profile causes the newly enabled monitor endpoint to advertise 3DES. The Old profile also contains SHA1-based CBC suites. This is a changed-code path to explicitly flagged weak-crypto usage.

Resolution

Before generating the monitor command, enforce a safe cipher allowlist and a minimum TLS version of TLS 1.2. Exclude 3DES, DES, RC4, SHA1-based suites, and other legacy suites from the profile-derived list. Fail closed, or use safe defaults, when the configured profile contains no approved suites. Apply the same filtering in the shared profile-to-command helper if other callers can receive the same profile.

937-937: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the DaemonSet resource version before updating it.

When createDaemonsetForMonitor runs with an existing DaemonSet, it calls controller-runtime client.Client.Update with the newly constructed ds. processDaemonsetForMonitor does not set ResourceVersion, and no helper copies it from foundDS. Kubernetes can reject this update because an existing object requires its current resource version. A changed certificate version can therefore fail to update the pod-template annotation and prevent monitor pods from rolling out.

Copy foundDS.ResourceVersion to ds before the update, or apply the desired fields to foundDS and update that object.

Preserve the current DaemonSet resource version before update.

When an existing monitor DaemonSet is reconciled, processDaemonsetForMonitor creates ds without metadata.resourceVersion. foundDS contains the current object, but its resource version is not copied before r.Client.Update. The Kubernetes update contract rejects this request, so certificate rotation cannot update the pod-template annotation or restart monitor pods.

Propagate the reconciliation context to the Secret lookup.

The repository’s **/*.go rule requires context.Context for cancellation and timeouts. Reconcile receives ctx, but the monitor path discards it before createDaemonsetForMonitor. getSecretVersion then calls r.Get(context.TODO(), ...), so the lookup cannot honor reconciliation cancellation and has no deadline. Pass ctx through the helper chain and use it for r.Get. Add a bounded child context only if this lookup requires a timeout.

I mostly focused on the overall the logic. Seconds commit is functional since createDaemonsetForMonitor() does update an existing daemonset.

Add static Service and ServiceMonitor YAML files in the OLM bundle
manifests to enable Prometheus scraping of the peer-pods-webhook
metrics endpoint (port 8443).

The Service uses the service.beta.openshift.io/serving-cert-secret-name
annotation to have OpenShift's service-ca controller auto-generate TLS
certificates. The ServiceMonitor verifies against the service-ca CA
(openshift-service-ca.crt ConfigMap) with proper serverName validation.

Both are shipped via OLM and follow the existing kata-monitor pattern
from PR openshift#2777. When peer-pods are disabled, the Service has no matching
endpoints and Prometheus finds nothing to scrape.

Update kata-monitor deployment to use HTTPS (port 8443) with TLS certificates
managed by OpenShift's service-ca controller. This aligns with upstream
kata-containers PR#13257, which adds --tls-cert-file and --tls-key-file flags
to kata-monitor binary.

Changes:
- Update Service to port 8443 and add serving-cert-secret-name annotation
- Configure DaemonSet to mount TLS certs from kata-monitor-certs secret
- Pass --tls-cert-file and --tls-key-file flags to kata-monitor command

Signed-off-by: Thejas N <thn@redhat.com>
kata-monitor loads the TLS key pair once at startup, so in-place
Secret updates do not take effect. Annotate the pod template with
the cert Secret's ResourceVersion to trigger a rollout when
service-ca rotates certificates.

LGTM, thanks, added minor comments.
also about the secret watching, IIRC if the cluster has large amount of secrets this may cause high memory consumption in the pod (filtering is after it lists secrets from all ns and load into memory) so that it may require increasing the required: memory, having said that, since we are already watching secrets in credentials controller, i think secrets fetching is covered. cc @gkurz for visibility (IIRC he inspected this before)

Not sure to understand @snir911. We do want the daemonset to be exactly the result of processDaemonsetForMonitor(), don't we ?

yes, sorry, i wasn't clear, avoid update when ds isn't changing

@snir911 Secrets are currently cached by namespaces (added by @gkurz) so filtering happens via a per-namespace informer. The SecretEventHandler filters on top of this for only kata-monitor-certs.

				&corev1.Secret{}: {
					// Restrict caching to namespaces where we access secrets
					Namespaces: map[string]cache.Config{
						controllers.OperatorNamespace: {},
						"openshift-config":            {}, // for global pull-secrets
					},
				},

Yes we restrict caching of secrets to the openshift-sandboxed-containers-operator and openshift-config namespaces (see https://github.com/openshift/sandboxed-containers-operator/blob/devel/cmd/manager/main.go#L158-L164).
