Add a vcluster infrastructure provider for fast task iteration - #115
Add a vcluster infrastructure provider for fast task iteration#115geojaz wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
Adds a vcluster infra provider that provisions loft-sh virtual clusters inside an existing GKE host cluster, cutting cluster provisioning from 10-20 minutes to about 2-3 minutes per iteration. - tf/modules/cluster/vcluster: helm-based vcluster module. Reserves a static IP up front so it can be baked into the proxy cert SANs and the exported kubeconfig; manages the namespace in tofu so destroy removes the PVC and state never leaks between runs. - tf/prebuilt/vcluster: standalone stack for the vcluster provider. - tf/prebuilt/minimal: provider-agnostic stack dispatching to tf/modules/cluster (gcp, kind, or vcluster via infra_provider). - devops_bench/providers/vcluster.py: VclusterProvider supplying host cluster credentials and per-cluster kubeconfig paths. - docs/components/infra.md: usage, env vars, and fidelity caveats. Verified end to end against a GKE Autopilot host: apply 2m17s to 3m25s, destroy about 80s, workloads schedule in seconds.
Replaces the GCP static IP reservation, the module's only GCP-specific piece, with a pre-created LoadBalancer Service. Tofu creates the Service before the Helm release, waits for its ingress address (IP on GKE and AKS, hostname on EKS NLBs), and bakes that address into the proxy cert SANs and the exported kubeconfig. The vcluster module no longer requires the google provider. Adds a host_cloud variable (gke, eks, aks; default gke) threaded through the dispatch module and prebuilt stacks, and a VCLUSTER_HOST_CLOUD env var in the Python provider. EKS and AKS hosts are supported by vcluster upstream; on our side only host credential automation and testing remain, so those paths assume the host context already exists in kubeconfig. Verified live on a GKE Autopilot host: apply 3m36s to a responsive API, workload rollout inside the vcluster, destroy 68s with the namespace and PVC fully removed.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to The vcluster provider can overwrite the host kubeconfig, expose generated credentials to other local users, target an invalid or unintended host context, or leave stale access configuration after changes; the added tests also currently fail lint.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/components/infra.md`:
- Line 33: Update the provider-count references in the surrounding
infrastructure documentation to reflect the added VclusterProvider: change “Two
ship today” to “Three ship today” and “Both are listed” to “All three are
listed,” keeping the wording clear and technically accurate.
- Line 84: Update the GCP_LOCATION and VCLUSTER_HOST_LOCATION documentation
entries to describe the value as “Location (region or zone)” rather than only
“Region,” including the corresponding entry near line 184. Preserve the existing
GKE-only scope and fallback details.
- Line 169: Update the provider-defaults sentence in the infrastructure
documentation to remove vcluster host_context from the unconditional defaults.
State that host_context is included only when VCLUSTER_HOST_CONTEXT is set,
while preserving the other vcluster defaults and the rule that user-supplied
variables take precedence.
- Line 135: Update the vcluster stack prerequisite documentation to distinguish
VCLUSTER_HOST_CLUSTER as a cluster name used for GKE credential retrieval,
requiring resolvable project and location plus gcloud, from
VCLUSTER_HOST_CONTEXT, which is required for EKS and AKS because credentials are
not retrieved by the provider. Do not imply that VCLUSTER_HOST_CLUSTER alone
provides kubeconfig access.
- Line 184: Update the VCLUSTER_HOST_LOCATION configuration flow so Terraform’s
location uses the same derived host location as credential setup; alternatively,
require VCLUSTER_HOST_CONTEXT whenever the configured locations differ. Keep the
existing GCP_LOCATION fallback and gke-only behavior consistent.
In `@tests/unit/providers/test_vcluster.py`:
- Around line 69-74: Update tests/unit/providers/test_vcluster.py lines 69-74
and 85-95 by adding a typed tmp_path: Path fixture to each affected test and
replacing hard-coded /tmp paths with tmp_path / "custom.yaml" and tmp_path /
"vcluster-test-cluster.yaml", respectively; ensure both tests continue
validating their existing behavior.
In `@tf/modules/cluster/variables.tf`:
- Around line 71-74: The kubeconfig_path default in the kubeconfig_path variable
allows vcluster output to overwrite the host kubeconfig. Change the vcluster
path handling to reject or require a path different from the host kubeconfig,
while preserving the existing behavior for KinD and GCP.
In `@tf/modules/cluster/vcluster/main.tf`:
- Around line 134-160: Update the local-exec kubeconfig export to create a
temporary file in the destination directory with mode 0600, decode the secret
into it, and atomically rename it to out_path; avoid writing directly to
out_path so the process umask cannot expose credentials.
- Around line 37-42: Update the GKE validation around check
"host_context_required_for_non_gke" so that when host_cloud is "gke" and
host_context is empty, project_id, location, and host_cluster_name must each be
non-empty before provisioning. Use variable validation or a precondition that
blocks apply, while preserving the existing explicit host_context requirement
for non-GKE hosts.
- Around line 130-132: Expand the triggers_replace map for the kubeconfig
provisioner to include the existing input paths, local.host_context,
local.lb_address, and the helm_release.vcluster chart version, while retaining
cluster_name so the provisioner reruns when any endpoint or relevant input
changes.
In `@tf/prebuilt/minimal/main.tf`:
- Around line 45-47: Guard GKE host_context derivation with a non-empty
host_cluster_name check so an empty cluster name produces an empty context and
preserves the kubeconfig current context. Apply the same change to the
host_context locals in tf/prebuilt/minimal/main.tf (lines 45-47),
tf/prebuilt/vcluster/main.tf (lines 29-32), and
tf/modules/cluster/vcluster/main.tf; all three sites require the guard.

Clarify the credential prerequisite.
VCLUSTER_HOST_CLUSTER is a cluster name, not a kubeconfig context. For GKE, credential retrieval also needs a resolvable project and location. For EKS/AKS, the current provider does not retrieve credentials and requires VCLUSTER_HOST_CONTEXT. Do not present VCLUSTER_HOST_CLUSTER alone as sufficient.
As per path instructions, keep the documentation technically accurate and clear.
Proposed wording
-- For vcluster stacks: `kubectl` and `helm` on `PATH`, plus an existing host cluster reachable via kubeconfig (`VCLUSTER_HOST_CLUSTER` or `VCLUSTER_HOST_CONTEXT`).
+- For vcluster stacks: `kubectl` and `helm` on `PATH`, plus an existing host cluster reachable via kubeconfig. For GKE, set `VCLUSTER_HOST_CLUSTER` with a resolvable project and location when credentials must be fetched. For EKS/AKS, set `VCLUSTER_HOST_CONTEXT`.📝 Committable suggestion

Separate provider defaults from module-derived values.
VclusterProvider.resolve_variables() adds host_context only when VCLUSTER_HOST_CONTEXT is set. The provided test also expects the key to be absent when that variable is unset. On GKE, the Terraform module derives the context. On EKS/AKS, the context is required explicitly. Update this sentence.

Terraform check block failed assertion warning apply continues official documentation
💡 Result:
In Terraform, when an assertion within a check block fails, it triggers a warning but does not block or halt the plan or apply operation [1][2][3]. Official documentation emphasizes that check blocks are explicitly designed to be non-blocking [3][4]. They execute as the final step of a plan or apply operation, specifically after infrastructure has been planned or provisioned [1][5]. If an assertion's condition evaluates to false, Terraform reports a warning containing the specified error_message and continues to complete the execution [2][6][7]. This behavior distinguishes check blocks from other custom validation mechanisms in Terraform, such as preconditions and postconditions, which do block operations when they fail [8][3]. If you require an operation to halt upon a validation failure, you should use a precondition or postcondition instead of a check block [8][3][4].

Validate GKE context inputs before provisioning.
When host_context == "" and host_cloud == "gke", require non-empty project_id, location, and host_cluster_name. The current condition passes and produces values such as gke__us-central1_, which provider configuration and kubectl then use. Enforce this with variable validation or a precondition because a failed check does not stop apply.

Terraform terraform_data triggers_replace depends_on provisioner replacement official documentation
💡 Result:
The terraform_data resource, introduced in Terraform 1.4, is the built-in, recommended replacement for null_resource [1][2][3]. It implements the standard resource lifecycle but takes no actions on its own, making it ideal for managing the lifecycle of provisioners or storing arbitrary data [4][2]. Key aspects of its functionality: triggers_replace: This argument accepts a value (or list of values) that, when changed, causes the terraform_data resource to be replaced [4][5]. When the resource is replaced, any associated provisioners are re-executed [6][3]. Unlike the triggers map in null_resource, which requires map values, triggers_replace in terraform_data supports any value type, providing more flexibility [1][3]. provisioner replacement: Because terraform_data follows the standard resource lifecycle, when triggers_replace changes, Terraform treats the resource as needing replacement (a destroy followed by a create) [4][7]. This forces any provisioners (like local-exec or remote-exec) attached to the resource to run again during the create phase [4][6]. depends_on: The depends_on meta-argument is available for terraform_data just as it is for any other resource [8][9]. It ensures that Terraform completes operations on the specified upstream resources before processing the terraform_data resource [8][9]. While useful for handling hidden dependencies, HashiCorp recommends using it as a last resort, as it can lead to more conservative plans and unnecessary resource replacements [8]. Replacement via replace_triggered_by: In addition to triggers_replace, you can use the lifecycle meta-argument replace_triggered_by in other resources to force them to be replaced when a terraform_data resource changes [4][10]. This allows you to couple the lifecycles of different resources, or to trigger replacement based on changes to plain data values by using them as inputs to a terraform_data resource [7][10]. In summary, for new configurations (Terraform 1.4+), use terraform_data instead of null_resource [1][2]. It is natively supported without requiring external providers and provides a cleaner, more modern mechanism for managing ad-hoc lifecycle operations [1][2][3].

Re-run the kubeconfig provisioner when its inputs or endpoint change.
triggers_replace only contains cluster_name. depends_on controls ordering; it does not rerun the provisioner when helm_release.vcluster changes. Add the expanded paths, local.host_context, local.lb_address, and chart version to triggers_replace.
Proposed fix

HashiCorp Kubernetes provider config_context empty string defaults to current context Helm provider config_context
💡 Result:
In the HashiCorp Kubernetes and Helm Terraform providers, leaving the config_context configuration attribute as an empty string (or omitting it) does not explicitly lock the provider to a specific context name called "empty"; rather, it causes the provider to use the default behavior defined by the underlying Kubernetes client-go library [1][2]. When config_context is not specified, the provider relies on the current-context setting stored within the kubeconfig file (or the default context if the kubeconfig file is used without explicit context overrides) [3][4][5]. Key implementation details include: 1. Default Behavior: If config_context is omitted or provided as an empty string, the provider allows the Kubernetes configuration loader to determine the active context, which typically defaults to the current-context defined in the kubeconfig file [3][4][5]. 2. Overrides: If you explicitly provide a value to config_context, it overrides the current-context setting found in your kubeconfig file [3][4][6]. 3. Precedence: Historically, issues existed where config_context settings were ignored if config_path was not explicitly provided [7][6]. Modern versions of these providers have been updated to ensure that context overrides (config_context, config_context_auth_info, and config_context_cluster) are applied consistently regardless of whether an explicit config_path is set [6]. 4. Helm Provider: The Helm provider follows the same pattern as the Kubernetes provider, as it utilizes shared logic for handling Kubernetes authentication and context selection [5][6][2]. If you find that your provider is not using the expected context, ensure that your kubeconfig is correctly configured and, if necessary, explicitly set the config_path attribute to point to the desired file, as the provider will always attempt to load configurations from there if available [3][4].

Guard GKE context derivation on host_cluster_name.
When both values are empty, the vcluster provider derives gke_<project_id>_<location>_. This context reaches the Helm/Kubernetes providers and the module’s kubectl commands, instead of using the kubeconfig’s current context. Apply the non-empty host_cluster_name guard in all three host_context locals: tf/prebuilt/minimal/main.tf, tf/prebuilt/vcluster/main.tf, and tf/modules/cluster/vcluster/main.tf.

In `@tf/prebuilt/minimal/main.tf` around lines 45 - 47, Guard GKE host_context
derivation with a non-empty host_cluster_name check so an empty cluster name
produces an empty context and preserves the kubeconfig current context. Apply
the same change to the host_context locals in tf/prebuilt/minimal/main.tf (lines
45-47), tf/prebuilt/vcluster/main.tf (lines 29-32), and
tf/modules/cluster/vcluster/main.tf; all three sites require the guard.

What this adds
A
vclusterinfrastructure provider that provisions loft-sh/vcluster virtual clusters inside an existing host cluster, instead of creating a real GKE cluster per run. Cluster provisioning drops from 10-20 minutes to 2-4 minutes, and workloads inside the vcluster schedule in seconds. That changes how fast we can iterate while developing tasks.Tasks opt in with
provider: "vcluster"(orINFRA_PROVIDER=vclusterat run time). No task schema changes.What's in the change
tf/modules/cluster/vcluster: the vcluster submodule, alongsidegkeandkind. It creates a LoadBalancer Service before the Helm release, waits for the ingress address, and bakes that address into the proxy cert SANs and the exported kubeconfig. Access needs no vcluster CLI: the kubeconfig comes from thevc-<name>secret and is written to a per-cluster path.tf/prebuilt/vcluster: standalone stack.tf/prebuilt/minimal: a provider-agnostic stack that dispatches totf/modules/clusterfor gcp, kind, or vcluster. Namedminimalrather thanminimumto avoid colliding with downstream stacks of that name.devops_bench/providers/vcluster.py:VclusterProvider, mirroring the KinD provider shape. Handles host cluster credentials (gcloud on GKE hosts) and derives per-cluster kubeconfig paths so parallel runs don't collide.docs/components/infra.md, 20+ unit tests.Host clouds
The module is host-cloud agnostic: a
host_cloudvariable (gke,eks,aks; defaultgke) is threaded through, and the LB-address approach works on all three (IP on GKE/AKS, NLB hostname on EKS). GKE is implemented and tested. For EKS/AKS the remaining work is host credential automation (aws eks update-kubeconfig/az aks get-credentials) and a real test pass on each; until then those paths assume the host context already exists in kubeconfig.When to use it (and not)
vcluster is right for workload, manifest, and policy-level tasks, which is most of them. It is not faithful for anything that depends on real node behavior: node pools, per-cluster GKE Workload Identity, node-level DaemonSets, or Autopilot scaling semantics. Those tasks should keep using the
gcpprovider.Verification
