What type of PR is this?

/kind cleanup

What this PR does / why we need it:

This PR adds a VPA updater test for a scenario where multiple VPAs target the same Pod, one VPA has updateMode: InPlace, all other VPAs have updateMode: Off. (See #10158 for use case).
In this scenario:

  • the patch that the VPA updater applies should always be from the recommendation of the VPA with updateMode: InPlace
  • the VPA updater should not skip the VPA with updateMode: InPlace even if some of the updateMode: Off VPAs are with earlier timestamps

Also adds a timestamp to a similar to admissions controller test to ensure that more of the 'controlling' VPA logic in api.Stronger gets exercised.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Updates #10158

Special notes for your reviewer:

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Added coverage for scenarios where multiple autoscalers target the same Pod.
    • Verified that the active in-place autoscaler is selected over autoscalers in off mode.
    • Confirmed that recommendations are applied to CPU and memory requests and limits during in-place updates.
    • Improved validation of autoscaler selection when operating modes and creation times differ.

You can also check if kubernetes/autoscaler has its own contribution guidelines.

You may want to refer to our testing guide if you run into trouble with your tests not passing.

If you are having difficulty getting your pull request seen, please follow the recommended escalation practices. Also, for tips and tricks in the contribution process you may want to read the Kubernetes contributor cheat sheet. We want to make sure your contribution gets all the attention it needs!

Thank you, and welcome to Kubernetes. 😃

Hi @irbekrm. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes 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.

Tip

We noticed you've done this a few times! Consider joining the org to skip this step and gain /lgtm and other bot rights. We recommend asking approvers on your previous PRs to sponsor you.

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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The tests add explicit VPA creation timestamps and verify updater behavior when multiple VPAs target one Pod. The updater test confirms that the active InPlace VPA applies CPU and memory recommendations to container requests and limits.

Changes

VPA selection tests

Layer / File(s) Summary
Matcher timestamp test setup
vertical-pod-autoscaler/pkg/admission-controller/resource/vpa/matcher_test.go
The test assigns explicit creation timestamps to the Off and Recreate VPAs.
Updater multiple-VPA validation
vertical-pod-autoscaler/pkg/updater/logic/updater_test.go
The new test configures multiple VPAs for one Pod and verifies that the active InPlace VPA recommendations update CPU and memory requests and limits.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to bb902

This PR adds and adjusts VPA tests without changing production behavior. A few assertion messages can make failures harder to diagnose, but no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

440-468: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use table-driven subtests for timestamp-order scenarios.

The older, equal, and newer timestamp cases run in one aggregate scenario. Create a table with one UpdateModeOff VPA per row. Test each timestamp relation independently. Include the VPA list order in the row when it affects selection.

This gives each edge case an independent assertion and failure report.

Refactor the timestamp-order test around the
UpdateModeOff VPAs into table-driven subtests

I chose not to do this - it didn't feel that valuable for what is essentially one test case, however happy to change that

For this check, I wonder if it makes sense to also have an e2e test?

Almost like how k/k uses e2e tests for conformance

Test that in a scenario where multiple VPAs
match one Pod, one VPA has `updateMode: InPlace` and
all others have `updateMode: Off`, VPA updater always
applies the in place resize from the correct VPA.

Also adds a timestamp to a similar test in the admissions
controller to make the test stronger.
