unkin-agent 9da206dc7c Implement autobackup-operator controllers, tests, CI and packaging
PVCs and CloudNativePG Clusters need S3 buckets and backup schedules
provisioned consistently. This operator watches the
backups.unkin.net/{schedule,destination} annotations on those objects and
provisions everything needed to back them up, with no new CRDs.

- Add a PVC controller that provisions cephrgw ObjectStoreUser/Bucket/BucketAccess,
  auto-generates a restic repo-password Secret and creates a k8up Schedule scoped
  to the PVC via spec.backup.volumes[].persistentVolumeClaim.claimName.
- Add a CNPG Cluster controller that provisions the same bucket stack, idempotently
  patches spec.backup.barmanObjectStore (leaving a user-set destinationPath alone
  with a Warning event) and creates a ScheduledBackup.
- Resolve destinations through a ConfigMap lookup table; requeue until the
  BucketAccess is Ready before creating schedule resources; own-reference created
  resources and retain bucket data by default.
- Add schedule-mapping helpers (k8up 5-field/shortcut pass-through, CNPG 6-field
  seconds-first) and deterministic, length-bounded name derivation.
- Add unit tests (schedule mapping, name derivation, destination resolution) and
  envtest controller tests for both paths, wiring the external CRDs into envtest.
- Add kubebuilder-generated RBAC, a Dockerfile (distroless/nonroot), Woodpecker
  lint/test/build pipelines and a tag-triggered image push to the artifactapi
  docker-internal registry, plus a version-bump Makefile and deploy manifests.

Release Process

The Kubernetes controller-runtime Project is released on an as-needed basis. The process is as follows:

Note: Releases are done from the release-MAJOR.MINOR branches. For PATCH releases is not required to create a new branch you will just need to ensure that all big fixes are cherry-picked into the respective release-MAJOR.MINOR branch. To know more about versioning check https://semver.org/.

How to do a release

Create the new branch and the release tag

  1. Create a new branch git checkout -b release-<MAJOR.MINOR> from main
  2. Push the new branch to the remote repository

Now, let's generate the changelog

  1. Create the changelog from the new branch release-<MAJOR.MINOR> (git checkout release-<MAJOR.MINOR>). You will need to use the kubebuilder-release-tools to generate the notes. See here

Note

  • You will need to have checkout locally from the remote repository the previous branch
  • Also, ensure that you fetch all tags from the remote git fetch --all --tags

Draft a new release from GitHub

  1. Create a new tag with the correct version from the new release-<MAJOR.MINOR> branch
  2. Add the changelog on it and publish. Now, the code source is released !

Add a new Prow test the for the new branch release

  1. Create a new prow test under github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/tree/master/config/jobs/kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime for the new release-<MAJOR.MINOR> branch. (i.e. for the 0.11.0 release see the PR: https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/pull/25205)
  2. Ping the infra PR in the controller-runtime slack channel for reviews.

Announce the new release:

  1. Publish on the Slack channel the new release, i.e:
:announce: Controller-Runtime v0.12.0 has been released!
This release includes a Kubernetes dependency bump to v1.24.
For more info, see the release page: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime/releases.
 :tada:  Thanks to all our contributors!
  1. An announcement email is sent to kubebuilder@googlegroups.com with the subject [ANNOUNCE] Controller-Runtime $VERSION is released
