reval.autoscaling.enabled. Preserve the existing toYaml and nindent rendering so
the HA rollout strategy remains applied during autoscaled deployments.

- Line 216: Update the HA replicaCount expressions for Cassandra, the rate
limiter, and the LLM gateway to use the HA target as a minimum rather than
replacing higher configured counts: apply floors of 3, 2, and 2 respectively
while preserving configured values above those targets. Keep the non-HA branches
unchanged and remove the existing fixed/safe-count behavior only in the HA
branches.
- Around line 237-246: Remove the $haEnabled guards around the affinity and
topology-spread helper invocations for the Cassandra, OpenBao server, and NATS
quorum release blocks. Keep nvcf.ha.podAntiAffinity and
nvcf.ha.topologySpreadItems evaluated unconditionally so global placement
overrides apply when HA mode is none; leave the existing grpc-proxy exception
unchanged.
In `@docs/self-managed/high-availability.md`:
- Line 168: Update the hostname pod anti-affinity documentation to distinguish
the policies: state that enforced anti-affinity prevents replicas from sharing a
node, while preferred anti-affinity only attempts to separate them and may allow
co-location when necessary.
- Around line 277-278: Update the cross-AZ replication guidance around
NetworkTopologyStrategy to require each Cassandra pod’s rack value to match its
availability zone, using the image entrypoint configuration described earlier.
Add verification that replicas are distributed across zones; do not present
Kubernetes node AZ labels alone as sufficient.

Reviewed the mapping, the chart hooks, both new tests, and the guide against the source. Full make -C deploy/stacks/self-managed test passes locally (helmfile 1.1.0), including ha-value-wiring.sh and ha-chart-render.sh. What I verified before the findings:
- Every anti-affinity and spread selector targets
app.kubernetes.io/instance= the real helmfile release name (api,ratelimiter,admin-issuer-proxy,notary-service,sis,api-keys,ess-api,reval,nvct-api,nats-auth-callout-service,llm-api-gateway,invocation-service,grpc-proxy,cassandra,nats,openbao-server), and every in-scope chart labels pods withapp.kubernetes.io/instance: {{ .Release.Name }}. NATS and OpenBao are wrapper charts around upstream subcharts, which label the same way. No silent-no-op selectors. NVCF_NATS_REPLICASbinds tonvcf.nats.replicas(NatsConfiguration.NatsProperties.replicas, used by bothStreamConfiguration.builder().replicas(...)call sites).NATS_PROPERTIES__REPLICASbinds toNatsProperties.replicasthrough the__env separator. Both real.- ESS: the scheduled crypto services sit behind
ReencryptionSchedulerConfig(@ConditionalOnProperty+@EnableScheduling) androtation.scheduled.enabled: falseby default, so the two-replica ESS is consistent with the fourth commit's claim.
Blocking
1. The default flip to preferred silently overrides every single-node environment, including the BDD fixtures.
tests/bdd/fixtures/self-managed-local-bdd.yaml pins cassandra.replicaCount: 1 (with JVM opts whose own comment says they fail with more than one replica), openbao.injector.replicas: 1 (comment: hard anti-affinity leaves the second replica Pending on one node), and NATS at one replica. Under preferred the mapping emits cassandra.replicaCount: 3, openbao.injector.replicas: 2, server.ha.replicas: 3, and nats.config.cluster.replicas: 3 unconditionally, so those pins are ignored. Nothing under tests/ sets highAvailability.mode. The first helmfile sync on a k3d or single-node install after this merges is a 3-node Cassandra with single-node JVM flags and a Pending injector pod. Either ship mode: none as the default and let real installs opt in, or keep preferred and add highAvailability.mode: none to both BDD fixtures and the local-dev docs in this PR. The description's "single-node installs must set mode: none" is not something the repo's own single-node environments do yet.
2. HA targets replace configured sizing instead of flooring it.
The description says component values remain the escape hatch, but under HA replicaCount is hard-set for Cassandra, both OpenBao members, NATS, ratelimiter and every replica-safe Deployment. An operator running cassandra.replicaCount: 5 is scaled down to 3 on the first sync, and the Cassandra chart binds spec.replicas directly with no decommission step (CodeRabbit's point, and I agree). max(configured, target) preserves both the HA guarantee and existing capacity, and it is also what makes finding 1 tractable.
Should fix before merge
3. Guide: Cassandra rack is the pod ordinal, not the zone. deploy/helm/cassandra/helm/templates/statefulset.yaml deliberately does not set CASSANDRA_RACK; the image derives rack from the ordinal. "labelling nodes by rack/AZ makes Cassandra distribute the 3 replicas across AZs automatically" is therefore not how it works, and "map rack to AZ on the Cassandra nodes" has no knob. What is true: with exactly 3 pods each in its own ordinal rack and spread one per zone, each of the 3 replicas lands in a different zone. Say that, and say there is no rack-to-zone mapping today.
4. Guide: preferred does not guarantee separation. "Hostname pod anti-affinity so the two replicas never share a node" and "so the 3 peers land on 3 distinct nodes" describe enforced. Under preferred the scheduler co-locates when capacity is short, which is exactly the case the overview admits. Same for the zone-spread sentences.
5. PR description is stale on ESS. It lists ess as excluded ("runs uncoordinated @scheduled crypto jobs") while the fourth commit scales it to 2 and the guide says it is safe. Update the body so reviewers and release notes see the current scope.
Minor
- Guide validation command: the ESS Deployment renders as
ess-api-deployment, notess-api. - ESS under HA with
ess.autoscaling.enabled: the HPA floorminReplicasstill defaults to 1, so the two-replica claim only holds while autoscaling is off. global.affinity/global.topologySpreadConstraintsare documented as always honoured, but the Cassandra, OpenBao and NATS blocks only consult them when HA is on.openbao.injector.replicasis forced to 2 under HA; worth going through the same floor as the rest rather than a literal.- Guide says JetStream "streams default to a single replica". nvcf-api's own
application.yamlalready setsnvcf.nats.replicas: 3, and the stack sets nothing for it undermode: none. Worth confirming what a single-node install actually gets today before documenting the default.
Questions
- Upgrade path for JetStream: streams already created with RF=1 are not changed by setting RF=3 on the creators unless the create call also updates existing stream config. Does it, or does the upgrade section need a "recreate or edit streams" step?
- The chart-hook commit ships in the same PR as the mapping, and the mapping applies
replicaCountto the currently published charts immediately while PDB, strategy and spread stay no-ops until the charts republish and the pins bump. That interim state (2 replicas, no PDB, no surge strategy) is fine, but it is worth one line in the upgrade section.

Re-checked 92a7238 against each finding. make -C deploy/stacks/self-managed test passes on this head locally, including the new floor assertions.
Resolved
- Single-node environments: both BDD fixtures now set
highAvailability.mode: none, so their single-replica pins apply again. - Sizing is a floor:
max(target, configured)everywhere, including the OpenBao injector; covered by the newcassandra: 5/api: 4cases. - reval strategy outside the autoscaling guard, ESS HPA minimum floored, quorum blocks honour
global.affinity/global.topologySpreadConstraintsundermode: none,preferredwording,ess-api-deployment, JetStream "RF applies at creation" note, PR body. All confirmed in the diff.
New, caused by the floor (agree with CodeRabbit)
- Quorum PDBs are still
minAvailable: 2. With the floor an operator can run 5 Cassandra or NATS members, andminAvailable: 2then permits three simultaneous evictions. Switch both tomaxUnavailable: 1: the Cassandra chart's PDB template already accepts it, the NATS chart takespodDisruptionBudget.merge.spec.maxUnavailable, and OpenBao already uses that form. It also removes the need to derive the number from the replica count. - ESS HPA: minimum floored to 2 but
maxReplicasis not, so an install withess.autoscaling.maxReplicas: 1renders an HPA the API server rejects. Floor the maximum with the same expression, orfailwith a clear message. - reval HPA has the same one-replica floor gap as ESS had.
Still open on the Cassandra section, and one of them is a correctness problem
- RF=3 is only true for fresh installs. Every application keyspace (
nvcf_api,nvct_api,ess_api,api_keys_api,sis_api,event_ledger,nvcf_autoscaler) is created bymigrations/cassandra/keyspaces/*/01_init_keyspace.up.sqlwithCREATE KEYSPACE IF NOT EXISTS ... 'ncp': '${REPLICA_COUNT}', and nothing ever alters them afterwards. The chart hook onlyALTERssystem_auth,system_distributedandschema_migrations. An existing install that flips topreferredgoes from 1 to 3 Cassandra nodes while all its data keyspaces stay at RF=1, and the guide tells the operator they now tolerate a node loss. The "Upgrading an existing install" section needs an explicit step:ALTER KEYSPACE <ks> WITH replication = {'class': 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', 'ncp': '3'}for each application keyspace followed bynodetool repair, or an automated post-upgrade hook that does it. The sentence "the Cassandra keyspaces are created with NetworkTopologyStrategy and a replication factor of 3 under HA" should say "on a fresh HA install". - Rack to zone. Deferring the implementation is fine. Leaving the text is not: "Map rack to AZ on the Cassandra nodes" and "labelling nodes by rack/AZ makes Cassandra distribute the 3 replicas across AZs automatically" describe a knob that does not exist; the chart deliberately leaves rack to the image, which derives it from the pod ordinal. Rewrite to today's behaviour: rack = ordinal, so with exactly three pods spread one per zone each replica lands in a different zone, and larger clusters have no zone-aware rack assignment yet.
- Consistency.
nvcf.cassandra.consistency: local_quorumis the default, but several nvcf-api repositories pin@Consistency(LOCAL_ONE)for reads. "read/write at LOCAL_QUORUM" is close enough for the availability argument but should be qualified.
CodeRabbit's three doc nits on this round are correct on inspection: the admin issuer proxy release is in namespace api-keys, the API pods carry app.kubernetes.io/instance=api (the release name), and the overview's continuity claim should exclude invocation-service and grpc-proxy.
With the PDB and HPA items and the Cassandra upgrade step addressed I have nothing else blocking.

Review comments at @deploy/stacks/self-managed/tests/ha-value-wiring.sh:
- Line 179: Update the NATS PDB extraction in the `ha-value-wiring.sh` test to
capture the complete `podDisruptionBudget` block rather than a fixed number of
lines. Stop at the next sibling key so assertions can detect both
`maxUnavailable` and any later `minAvailable` field.

A live HA install left nats-auth-callout-service at one replica. Its chart reads flat, top-level values, but the stack emitted replicaCount, strategy, PDB, affinity and zone spread under natsAuthCalloutService, which the chart never reads. Emit them at the top level for that release only, and test by rendering the chart with the stack's values. Also fix the HA scenario's pod selector: the chart is named helm-nvcf-api, and the account-bootstrap job Pod shares the release labels, so select app.kubernetes.io/name=helm-nvcf-api and exclude Pods with an app.kubernetes.io/component label.
The generated anti-affinity and zone spread selected Pods by app.kubernetes.io/instance alone. nats-box shares instance=nats and the OpenBao agent injector shares instance=openbao-server, so under enforced a helper Pod blocked a server node and satisfied the zone skew while two servers shared a zone. Let the placement helpers take extra match labels and select app.kubernetes.io/component=nats and component=server for the NATS and OpenBao servers.
base.yaml sets openbao.server.ha.disruptionBudget.enabled: false for single-node installs, and the stack passed that through unchanged even with HA on, so the chart rendered no PDB for the three Raft peers and a drain could evict two at once. Under HA, always enable the budget and keep a configured maxUnavailable (default 1); mode none is unchanged.

The single-shared-pool guidance said to set global.nodeSelectors.all without mentioning that controlplane/cassandra/vault ship pre-populated in base.yaml. all is only consulted as a fallback for a class whose own selector is unset, so setting all alone silently has no effect on those three classes. Clarify the fallback semantics and show the required null-out of the per-class selectors to actually route them through a shared pool.
…rking one The previous sample nulled out controlplane/cassandra/vault to force the all fallback, but rateLimiter and vanityGateway read global.nodeSelectors.controlplane directly and panic on null. Document an explicit per-class shared-pool selector instead, verified via helmfile render.

Summary
Adds a single-knob high-availability (HA) model to the self-hosted (self-managed)
NVCF control plane. One environment value —
highAvailability.mode(
none | preferred | enforced) — is mapped inglobal.yaml.gotmplonto eachrelease's replica count, pod anti-affinity, zone topology spread,
PodDisruptionBudget, and rollout strategy. Every in-scope chart gains the value
hooks needed to consume those values.
Default is
preferred(HA on). Single-node / local / CI installs sethighAvailability.mode: none(the BDD fixtures do this).Design
uniformly from
mode.preferred= soft placement (ScheduleAnyway/preferred anti-affinity);
enforced= hard (DoNotSchedule/ required).max(target, configured), so a higher operator-configured count is preserved(no scale-down on the first sync). Autoscaler bounds follow the same floor.
maxUnavailable: 1, so a drain removes at most one member even above threereplicas.
global.affinity/global.topologySpreadConstraints(class →
all→ mode default); component values remain the escape hatch.What changes, by service
Replica-safe (≥2 replicas + anti-affinity + zone spread + PDB
minAvailable: 1+ surge rollout):api,ratelimiter,adminIssuerProxy,llmApiGateway,natsAuthCalloutService,nvctApi,notary,sis,apiKeys,reval,ess.If autoscaling is enabled for
essorreval, its minimum is floored at 2 andits maximum is kept at or above the minimum.
essis safe at 2: its scheduled crypto jobs (rotation, re-encryption, promotion)are
@ConditionalOnProperty(encryption.*.scheduled.enabled=true), default off,and run only in a separate ESS worker deployment that is not part of this stack
(confirmed with the ESS owner).
Quorum (≥3 replicas + anti-affinity + zone spread + PDB
maxUnavailable: 1):cassandra,nats,openbao.NATS JetStream replica factor is derived from the NATS server count, capped
at 3, and is independent of the HA mode (a 3-server cluster gets RF=3 even with
mode: none; a single server keeps the service defaults). It is set on thestream creators (
nvcf-api,invocation-service) and can be overridden perservice via
api.env.NVCF_NATS_REPLICAS/invocation.env.NATS_PROPERTIES__REPLICAS.Single-replica exceptions:
invocation-service,grpc-proxy— pinned to 1 until Envoy (worker-callbackhost binding); placement pre-wired (no-op at 1), no HA PDB.
Chart hooks (charts-first)
These are published
helm-nvcf-*charts. This PR adds the hooks in the chartsources:
topologySpreadConstraints, rolloutstrategy,PodDisruptionBudgettemplates, and affinity hooks where missing. The mapping only takes effect once
the charts are republished and the stack's chart
version:pins are bumped —until then the emitted values are no-ops (replicaCount applies immediately on the
currently-pinned charts).
Tests
ha-value-wiring.sh— asserts the valuesglobal.yaml.gotmplemits per mode,including the
max()floor, quorum PDBs at 5 replicas, autoscaler bounds,the NATS PDB shape, the OpenBao server PDB being enabled under HA, placement
rules that select only NATS and OpenBao server Pods, and JetStream RF
derivation (capped at 3, independent of mode). It also renders the
nats-auth-callout chart with the stack's own values.
ha-chart-render.sh—helm templates every in-scope chart with HA values andasserts the rendered manifest contains PDB / spread / strategy / anti-affinity.
pdb-value-wiring.sh— pinned tomode: none(covers the HA-off passthrough).make -C deploy/stacks/self-managed testpasses.tests/bdd/features/single-cluster-ha.feature(
TestSingleClusterHA): installs the stack on the ncp-local k3d cluster withmode: preferredand asserts thatnvcf-apiruns 2 Ready replicas ondistinct nodes, with a surge rollout strategy and a PDB. It runs like the other
live BDD features (operator-triggered, not in GitHub Actions); the
-shortwiring test and the placement script's unit tests run with the suite. The
strategy and PDB assertions need a pinned chart that carries the HA hooks.

Docs
docs/self-managed/high-availability.md(new): prerequisites, modes, per-tierbehavior,
global.*tuning, validation, recovery, and upgrading. The Cassandrasection describes today's behavior: RF=3 applies to fresh HA installs (upgrade
step 5 raises existing keyspaces to RF=3 and repairs), racks come from the pod
ordinal, and services default to
LOCAL_QUORUMwith someLOCAL_ONEreads.Behavior change
Default is
preferred, so upgrading an environment that does not pinhighAvailability.modescales services up on the firstsync. Single-nodeinstalls must set
mode: none. Existing installs also need the Cassandrakeyspace step in the upgrade guide before Cassandra data tolerates a node loss.
Deployment topology note
preferred/enforcedgive node-level HA and let the stateless control planesurvive a full failure-domain (room/AZ) loss. A 3-member quorum needs ≥3
failure domains to survive a domain loss; with 2 domains a 2+1 split means
losing the majority domain pauses quorum writes.
Out of scope / follow-ups
so replicas are zone-diverse only with exactly three pods spread one per zone.
Mapping rack to zone is a migration-class change on existing clusters; deferred
and owner-gated.
