Summary

Include the permissive cluster-logging-operator NetworkPolicy (clo-permissive-network-policy) in the operator bundle so it is deployed, updated, and removed by OLM together with the operator — instead of being applied manually by admins. This keeps the operator serving metrics and reaching cluster DNS and the Kubernetes API server when a restrictive AdminNetworkPolicy is applied to the cluster.

Implements https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/LOG-7579.

Changes

  • Enable clo-permissive-network-policy in the network-policy and default kustomizations and regenerate the bundle (bundle/manifests/clo-permissive-network-policy_networking.k8s.io_v1_networkpolicy.yaml).
  • Switch the policy from named ports to numeric ports (8443 metrics, 53 DNS UDP/TCP, 6443 API server) so the rules resolve against the operator pod, which declares no named containerPorts.
  • Update docs/features/network_policy.adoc: the policy is now deployed by OLM instead of applied manually, with a note on the cluster-wide proxy case.

Testing

  • operator-sdk bundle validate ./bundle passes.
  • No live cluster was available, so the runtime acceptance criteria (metrics served, OLM discoverability, cluster-wide proxy) still need cluster verification.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a network policy for the operator manager pod, allowing ingress on TCP port 8443 and egress on UDP/TCP port 53 and TCP port 6443.
    • The policy is included in the default deployment and managed by OLM. It applies only when a matching AdminNetworkPolicy allows or passes traffic; an explicit deny takes precedence.
  • Documentation
    • Updated network policy guidance with the traffic rules, AdminNetworkPolicy behavior, and instructions for allowing egress to a cluster-wide proxy when applicable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change packages and enables a permissive NetworkPolicy for the operator manager pod. It allows metrics ingress on TCP 8443 and egress for DNS on TCP and UDP 53 and the Kubernetes API on TCP 6443. Documentation describes OLM management and AdminNetworkPolicy precedence.

Changes

Operator NetworkPolicy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Policy rules and packaged manifest
config/network-policy/clo-permissive-network-policy.yaml, bundle/manifests/clo-permissive-network-policy_networking.k8s.io_v1_networkpolicy.yaml
The policy selects the operator manager pod. It permits TCP 8443 ingress, DNS egress on TCP and UDP 53, and TCP 6443 egress.
Policy activation and documentation
config/network-policy/kustomization.yaml, config/default/kustomization.yaml, docs/features/network_policy.adoc
The kustomizations include the operator policy and exclude the metrics and webhook scaffolding policies. The documentation describes OLM management, traffic rules, AdminNetworkPolicy precedence, and proxy egress.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d692d

The policy matches the documented manager traffic, but whether OLM deploys the standalone policy could not be confirmed for the target version. No concrete installation failure is established by the available evidence.

Verification Summary

PR: openshift/cluster-logging-operator#3511 — LOG-7579: Deploy operator NetworkPolicy via OLM
JIRA: LOG-7579
Cluster: api.ttdcs-zhyzf-84y.wbv9.p3.openshiftapps.com (OCP 4.22.15, OVNKubernetes, AdminNetworkPolicy supported)
Operator version: cluster-logging.v6.7.0 (built from PR branch LOG-7579-network-policy-olm, deployed via OLM)

Test Setup

Built the operator image and bundle from the PR branch and installed it through OLM (make deploy) into openshift-logging. This exercises the core change — the clo-permissive-network-policy NetworkPolicy being shipped in the operator bundle and managed by OLM. Metrics ingress was probed from a curl client pod in a separate namespace; the operator's own metrics port requires auth, so HTTP 401 = reachable and timeout/000 = blocked. The restrictive-network acceptance criteria were exercised with an AdminNetworkPolicy (ANP) toggled between Deny and Pass, plus a namespace default-deny-all to prove the operator NP is necessary.

Steps Performed

1. Deployed the operator from the PR bundle via OLM; confirmed CSV reached Succeeded.
2. Confirmed OLM created clo-permissive-network-policy and its podSelector matches the operator pod labels; confirmed the live NP spec equals the PR spec and the ingress port matches --metrics-bind-address=:8443.
3. Scraped metrics with no ANP (baseline).
4. Applied a restrictive ANP with action: Deny, then patched it to action: Pass, scraping metrics after each.
5. Added a namespace default-deny-all (admin lockdown) with ANP on Pass, then drator NP, scraping after each.
6. Checked operator health (pod status, CSV phase, DNS/API errors in logs) throughout.
7. Removed all test-only resources (ANP, default-deny NP, client namespace).

                                                                                                                                                                                             Verified. The permissive clo-permissive-network-policy is shipped in the operat by OLM (installs cleanly with the NP in the manifest), it selects the operatorpod, and it preserves the operator's metrics ingress — and, by extension, DNS/API egress (operator reconciled with no egress errors) — under a restrictive AdminNetworkPolicy that allows or delegates (Pass) the traffic. The documented limitation holds: an AdminNetworkPnd is not overridden by the NP. The only acceptance item not exercised is thecluster-wide-proxy case (no proxy on the test cluster); the PR addresses it with documented guidance to edit the policy.
