…EKS without static credentials

Description

Related Issue

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change fixing an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change adding functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that causes existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation / Refactoring / Chore

Verification & Testing

  • Code passes formatting and linting: make lint
  • Unit and envtest integration tests pass: make test
  • End-to-end tests pass (if applicable): go test ./test/e2e/...
  • Helm chart lints cleanly: helm lint charts/agentrax/
  • CRD and code generation up to date: make manifests generate && git diff --exit-code

Checklist

  • My code follows the Go and controller-runtime conventions of this project.
  • I have added/updated GoDoc comments for all exported symbols.
  • I have updated documentation or architecture docs if CRD schemas/boundaries changed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added optional cloud workload identity support for controller-manager deployments on Azure AKS and AWS EKS.
    • Added provider-specific configuration and automatic identity annotations, with validation for required settings.
    • Workload identity is disabled by default and avoids static cloud credentials.
    • Added an AWS IRSA ServiceAccount configuration template.
  • Documentation

    • Added architecture guidance, setup instructions, and an ADR covering keyless cloud IAM.
    • Clarified required Kubernetes API server and CoreDNS access for tenant egress.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Helm chart now supports optional Azure Workload Identity and AWS IRSA configuration. It validates enabled configurations, renders provider-specific Kubernetes metadata, adds an AWS IRSA overlay, and documents the architecture and network policy changes.

Changes

Workload Identity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Helm workload identity wiring
charts/agentrax/values.yaml, charts/agentrax/templates/serviceaccount.yaml, charts/agentrax/templates/deployment.yaml
Adds workload identity settings, validates required provider values, and renders Azure or AWS ServiceAccount metadata. Azure-enabled deployments receive the required pod label.
AWS IRSA cluster overlay
config/workload-identity/irsa-serviceaccount.yaml
Adds a Kustomize ServiceAccount patch with an AWS role ARN placeholder and overlay instructions.
Architecture and network guidance
docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, .agents/skills/agentrax-context/SKILL.md
Documents Azure Workload Identity, AWS IRSA, short-lived OIDC identity, static-credential restrictions, and tenant-agent access to the Kubernetes API server and CoreDNS in kube-system.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b43de

This PR adds opt-in cloud workload identity configuration, but invalid or unsupported provider settings may still be accepted without a release-time failure, and the documented tenant-agent egress boundary does not match the policy supplied by the chart. These bounded deployment and security risks should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merging.

Inline comments:
In @.agents/skills/agentrax-context/SKILL.md:
- Line 23: Update the documented tenant-agent NetworkPolicy isolation in the
“Network Isolation” section so TCP 443 and 6443 egress is restricted to
Kubernetes API server destinations via explicit selectors; keep the existing
CoreDNS and scraping details unchanged.
- Line 24: Update the Cloud Workload Identity documentation to identify
workloadIdentity.enabled as Helm-only, and separately document Kustomize AWS
activation through config/workload-identity/irsa-serviceaccount.yaml under
patches with its replacements role-ARN configuration. Do not imply that
Kustomize reads Helm values.

In `@charts/agentrax/templates/serviceaccount.yaml`:
- Around line 10-19: Validate the chart configuration so serviceAccount.create:
false cannot be used while workloadIdentity.enabled is true; reject this
combination during Helm rendering with a clear error, rather than allowing an
existing ServiceAccount to miss the workload identity and
serviceAccount.annotations. Anchor the validation to the serviceAccount.create
and workloadIdentity.enabled values used by the ServiceAccount template.

In `@charts/agentrax/values.yaml`:
- Around line 107-121: Update the chart’s helm test hook to create test
resources for both TenantQuota and AgentDeployment, using the existing CRD
schemas and preserving the current test-hook behavior.
- Around line 110-120: Validate the workloadIdentity configuration at Helm
render time: restrict provider to azure or aws, require non-empty azureClientId
and azureTenantId when provider is azure, and require non-empty awsRoleArn when
provider is aws. Apply this validation through the chart schema or Helm template
checks while preserving the disabled configuration path.

In `@config/workload-identity/irsa-serviceaccount.yaml`:
- Around line 17-21: Update the Helm reference comment to identify the chart’s
default ServiceAccount as agentrax, while leaving the Kustomize selector and
patch metadata for agentrax-controller-manager unchanged. Keep the Helm IRSA
role configuration under workloadIdentity.awsRoleArn.

In `@docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`:
- Around line 343-350: Update the Agentrax cloud access documentation near the
Azure Workload Identity section to separately document the ACR image-pull
prerequisite: explain that AKS uses the kubelet managed identity or
imagePullSecrets for private registry authentication, while Workload Identity
only covers cloud API calls from running pods. Note that ACR access must be
configured independently for the manager pod to start.

- **Autoscaling**: native `HorizontalPodAutoscaler` pointed at Prometheus Adapter custom metrics (`queueDepth` or `gpuUtilization`). No custom scaling loop. During active canary, the stable HPA is paused (deleted) and no canary HPA is created — autoscaling resumes only after promotion or rollback.

Restrict the API egress destinations.

The TCP 443 and 6443 rule has no to selector, so it permits those ports to any destination. Add selectors for the Kubernetes API server, or update the documented isolation guarantee.

Add TenantQuota and AgentDeployment to the Helm smoke test. The current test only checks the registry endpoint and does not exercise the required custom resources or workload identity path.
