A PR to test alternate AMI images in Ephemeral envs. Mostly as documentation - do not merge for now.

Might be useful for https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/ROSAENG-60917 cc @theautoroboto

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added configurable AMI families and selector terms for management-cluster node pools.
    • Default node pools use Bottlerocket FIPS AMIs.
    • Ephemeral environments can pin nodes to a specific Amazon Linux 2023 AMI.
    • Integration and staging configurations now include explicit AMI settings.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The EKS node pool now accepts configurable AMI families and selector terms. Bottlerocket remains the default. Ephemeral deployments select a specific AL2023 AMI, while integration and stage deployments retain Bottlerocket defaults.

Changes

EKS AMI configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
EC2NodeClass AMI selection
argocd/config/shared/eks-nodepool/templates/00-nodeclass.yaml, argocd/config/shared/eks-nodepool/values.yaml
The chart now renders amiFamily from values and uses configured amiSelectorTerms. Empty terms use the Bottlerocket FIPS x86_64 selector.
Management-cluster AMI wiring
config/defaults.yaml, deploy/integration/us-east-1/_merged_config.yaml, deploy/stage/us-east-1/_merged_config.yaml
Management-cluster defaults now define AMI settings and pass them to applications.management-cluster.eksNodePool.
Environment-specific AMI values
config/ephemeral/defaults.yaml, deploy/ephemeral/us-east-1/_merged_config.yaml, deploy/ephemeral/us-east-1/argocd-values-management-cluster.yaml, deploy/integration/us-east-1/argocd-values-management-cluster.yaml, deploy/stage/us-east-1/argocd-values-management-cluster.yaml
Ephemeral values select AL2023 with AMI ID ami-038c06f05c6b06834. Integration and stage values use Bottlerocket with empty selector terms.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 1129f

The PR changes node-image selection and bootstrap defaults, but the current configuration can select an incompatible image, leave a node pool without a usable AMI, or reuse a region-specific image in another region. Those failures can prevent clusters from provisioning correctly, so the PR is not merge-ready until the family/selector behavior and regional scoping are fixed.

conditional around the default Bottlerocket FIPS AMI so non-Bottlerocket
families require explicit selector terms or are rejected, while preserving the
existing configured-selector behavior.

In `@config/defaults.yaml`:
- Around line 138-143: The Karpenter AMI configuration must not combine a
non-Bottlerocket karpenter_ami_family with the empty selector fallback that
targets Bottlerocket images. Update the rendering logic using
karpenter_ami_family and karpenter_ami_selector_terms to either require explicit
selector terms for families such as AL2023 or select a family-appropriate
fallback, while preserving the existing Bottlerocket default behavior.

In `@config/ephemeral/defaults.yaml`:
- Around line 45-46: Update the comment above karpenter_ami_family to clarify
that Bottlerocket is the fallback and this file overrides it with AL2023 for
ephemeral testing.
- Around line 42-46: Remove the AMI-specific karpenter_ami_selector_terms pin
from the shared ephemeral defaults and place it only in the appropriate
region-specific override, while keeping karpenter_ami_family unchanged so other
regions do not inherit a region-bound AMI ID.

Karpenter provider AWS v1 EC2NodeClass amiFamily amiSelectorTerms AMI selection userData mismatch contract

💡 Result:

In Karpenter, the amiFamily and amiSelectorTerms fields serve distinct, non-overlapping roles in node provisioning, which can lead to a "userData mismatch" if they are not correctly aligned [1][2]. The amiFamily field is responsible for prescribing the bootstrapping logic and the format of the generated userData that Karpenter injects into the instance [1][3]. It does not perform any validation or filtering on the AMIs discovered via amiSelectorTerms [2][3]. Conversely, amiSelectorTerms is used solely to discover and select the specific AMI to launch [4][3]. When you specify amiSelectorTerms, Karpenter uses those terms to find matching AMIs [4]. If the selected AMI is incompatible with the amiFamily you have configured, Karpenter will still apply the userData format dictated by that amiFamily [1][2]. For example, if you configure amiFamily: Bottlerocket but use amiSelectorTerms to select an Amazon Linux 2 AMI, Karpenter will attempt to use Bottlerocket-formatted userData on an Amazon Linux 2 instance, which will cause the node to fail to register with the cluster [1]. To avoid this mismatch contract: 1. Ensure the AMIs discovered by your amiSelectorTerms are compatible with the operating system and bootstrapping requirements of the chosen amiFamily [2]. 2. If you are using custom AMIs that do not follow standard EKS-optimized amiFamily bootstrapping, use amiFamily: Custom [5][3]. When using Custom, Karpenter does not provide default userData, allowing you to define the required bootstrapping logic yourself [3][6]. 3. When using amiFamily: AL2 or other non-custom families, do not attempt to manually call bootstrap scripts (like /etc/eks/bootstrap.sh) in the spec.userData field, as Karpenter automatically handles this based on the amiFamily [5][3]. For more reliable AMI selection, prefer using the alias field in amiSelectorTerms (e.g., al2023@latest), which identifies the AMI family and version, rather than relying on loose tags or name wildcards that might inadvertently select an AMI of a different family [5][4][7].

Citations:


Guard the Bottlerocket fallback by amiFamily.

With Karpenter 1.14.0, an empty amiSelectorTerms value selects the Bottlerocket FIPS AMI, while amiFamily controls bootstrap data. A non-Bottlerocket family can therefore receive incompatible bootstrap data and fail to register. Apply the fallback only for Bottlerocket, or reject non-Bottlerocket values without selector terms.
