This operate already does the missing pieces a bare-metal upgrade needs: availability and health checks, CVO-driven upgrade, and node keeper/drain. This adds a new type to run on bare-metal clusters too, that reuses that path without OCM or extra-worker scaling, so those clusters can use MUO with a local UpgradeConfig.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for upgrading self-managed bare-metal clusters.
    • Bare-metal upgrades use local configuration and do not reserve additional worker capacity.
    • Added validation and configuration support for the BM upgrade type.
    • Added pre-upgrade health checks, maintenance windows, worker upgrades, and post-upgrade health checks.
  • Documentation

    • Added setup guidance and examples for bare-metal upgrades.
    • Documented the bare-metal upgrade workflow and configuration options.

Walkthrough

The PR adds BM as a supported upgrade type, updates validation and documentation, and introduces a dedicated bare-metal upgrader with health checks, maintenance windows, control-plane upgrades, worker upgrades, and no capacity reservation scaling.

Changes

Bare-metal upgrade support

Layer / File(s) Summary
BM configuration contract
api/v1alpha1/upgradeconfig_types.go, deploy/...upgradeconfigs.yaml, deploy_pko/CustomResourceDefinition-...yaml, pkg/specprovider/config.go, README.md, docs/configmap.md
Adds BM to API and CRD validation, spec-provider validation, examples, and configuration documentation.
BM upgrader workflow
pkg/upgraders/bmupgrader.go
Adds BM upgrader construction, health checks, and the ordered upgrade workflow without capacity reservation scaling.
BM selection and workflow documentation
pkg/upgraders/builder.go, docs/controllers/upgradeconfig.md, docs/design.md
Routes BM configurations to the new upgrader and documents the BM workflow and upgrade type.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dfd02

The PR adds bare-metal upgrade support but currently permits unsupported capacity-reservation and OCM configuration combinations, which can result in missing requested capacity or an invalid upgrade path. It is not merge-ready until those validation issues are fixed; the documentation issues are minor follow-up items.

Hi @flecno. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Reject capacity reservation for BM.

Line 48 permits type: BM with capacityReservation: true. pkg/upgraders/bmupgrader.go omits capacity-reservation scaling, so the operator accepts a request for extra capacity and then does not provide it. Reject this combination before execution, and regenerate the CRDs after adding the validation.

As per coding guidelines, “Regenerate deepcopy, OpenAPI, and mocks after modifying API types or interfaces using boilerplate/_lib/container-make generate.”

Fix the BM table-of-contents link.

The heading at Line 35 generates #for-bm-cluster, not #for-bm. Update the fragment so the table-of-contents entry reaches the BM section.

Proposed fix

Require LOCAL for BM.

IsValid accepts configManager.source: OCM with upgradeType: BM. This conflicts with the BM requirement for LOCAL and the BM workflow that omits OCM integration. Reject BM unless the normalized source is LOCAL.
