Summary

Refresh the vendored Gateway API Inference Extension (GAIE) CRD bundle from v1.3.0 to v1.5.0. Upstream v1.5.0 removes the experimental inferencepools.inference.networking.x-k8s.io (v1alpha2); this PR deliberately retains it under an explicit deprecation window rather than dropping it, so no in-place upgrade deletes user data. Three references to the stable InferencePool CRD are retargeted.

Motivation / Context

agentgateway v1.3.1 is built against GAIE v1.5.0, whose InferencePool schema adds spec.appProtocol (kubernetes.io/h2c selects HTTP/2; default HTTP/1.1). With the v1.3.0 schema installed, the API server prunes or rejects that field before the controller sees it, so the capability is silently unavailable. This is a missed capability, not a regression — the previous kgateway-train controller hardcoded HTTP/1.1.

Fixes: #1646
Related: #1476, #2061

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update
  • Refactoring (no functional changes)
  • Build/CI/tooling

Component(s) Affected

  • CLI (cmd/aicr, pkg/cli)
  • API server (cmd/aicrd, pkg/server)
  • Recipe engine / data (pkg/recipe)
  • Bundlers (pkg/bundler, pkg/component/*)
  • Collectors / snapshotter (pkg/collector, pkg/snapshotter)
  • Validator (pkg/validator)
  • Core libraries (pkg/errors, pkg/k8s)
  • Docs/examples (docs/, examples/)
  • Other: validators/conformance, tests/chainsaw

Implementation Notes

  1. Vendored from upstream config/crd/bases @ tag v1.5.0. The four CRDs upstream ships are byte-identical to upstream; the file's only divergence is item 2.
  2. Deliberate divergence — the v1alpha2 InferencePool CRD is retained. Upstream removed it in v1.5.0. Deleting it here would prune the CRD on any in-place upgrade and garbage-collect every inference.networking.x-k8s.io/v1alpha2 InferencePool cluster-wide. The stable v1 CRD is a different API group with a different schema (endpointPickerRef/targetPorts vs extensionRef/targetPortNumber), so the API server cannot convert or retain those objects. Upstream itself served this CRD for five release lines (v1.0.0 → v1.4.0, ~7 months) before removing it.
  3. Deprecation window: v0.20.0 (deprecated, retained) → v0.21.0 (retained) → v0.22.0 earliest removal. Two full release cycles, ~4 weeks at the current bi-weekly cadence. The retained version carries native Kubernetes deprecated: true + deprecationWarning, so the API server warns on every client call touching it.
  4. Retention guards, applied now by necessity. The stanza carries helm.sh/resource-policy: "keep" and argocd.argoproj.io/sync-options: "Delete=false,Prune=false". Both are read off the live cluster object at prune time, so they only protect a cluster that actually installs v0.20.0/v0.21.0 — they cannot be added retroactively by the release that removes the stanza.
  5. Removal is gated, not automatic on v0.22.0. A cluster upgrading straight from v0.19.0 to v0.22.0 never receives the annotations, and AICR documents no supported upgrade skew that would rule that path out. The release that drops this stanza MUST also ship a preflight that fails closed when any v1alpha2 InferencePool still exists cluster-wide. Without that preflight the stanza stays, regardless of release number.
  6. health-check.yaml asserts all five installed CRDs (both InferencePool groups). The two Chainsaw asserts and validators/conformance requiredCRDs are retargeted to the stable group — each is the only InferencePool assertion in its scope, and the stable CRD is what agentgateway v1.3.1 and dynamo-platform 1.2.1 actually consume.
  7. make bom-docs: no diff (CRDs carry no image references).

Rollout (in-place upgrades): non-destructive. Nothing is deleted on any deploy path. The stable CRD gains spec.appProtocol; the v1alpha2 CRD keeps serving existing objects and starts emitting a deprecation warning. Operators holding v1alpha2 InferencePools should migrate during the window:

# detect
kubectl get inferencepools.inference.networking.x-k8s.io -A

Migration guide (detection and both cutover paths): https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api-inference-extension/blob/v1.5.0/site-src/guides/ga-migration.md

Nothing in AICR has ever authored a v1alpha2 InferencePool (git log --all -S 'inference.networking.x-k8s.io/v1alpha2' is empty), and dynamo-platform 1.2.1 creates pools in the stable group, so the at-risk objects are hand-written or created by a co-tenant tool sharing these CRDs.

Testing

pkg/recipe ✅ · pkg/chainsaw ✅ · pkg/bundler/... ✅ · validators/conformance ✅ · golangci-lint ./validators/... ✅ 0 issues · yamllint ✅ · make bom-docs ✅ no diff

Risk Assessment

  • Low — Isolated change, well-tested, easy to revert
  • Medium — Touches multiple components or has broader impact
  • High — Breaking change, affects critical paths, or complex rollout

No CRD is deleted and no existing object is affected, so there is no data-loss path in this release. The residual risk is deferred to the release that eventually removes the stanza, which is gated on the preflight described in Implementation Note 5.

Checklist

  • Tests pass locally (make test with -race)
  • Linter passes (make lint)
  • I did not skip/disable tests to make CI green
  • I added/updated tests for new functionality
  • I updated docs if user-facing behavior changed
  • Changes follow existing patterns in the codebase
  • Commits are cryptographically signed (git commit -S) — GPG signing info

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The vendored Gateway API Inference Extension CRDs were updated from v1.3.0 to v1.5.0. The stable InferencePool schema adds optional spec.appProtocol validation. The deprecated v1alpha2 CRD remains installed with retention annotations and migration guidance. Conformance checks now reference the stable CRD name.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ecbef

The CRD refresh is mergeable with owner awareness: the legacy CRD is retained, but the health check does not verify the retention and deprecation safeguards, so a future rendering or apply regression could go unnoticed.

Force-pushed: 992fcd8abd7ecbdb.

Rebased onto main (the branch was 5 commits behind) — no content change. git range-diff b09c5dbb..992fcd8a 39d58678..bd7ecbdb reports the commit as equivalent, and the diff against main is byte-identical: still 5 files, +24/−312.

The rebase was required to merge. The repo enforces up-to-date branches, and Check PR Title (added in #2221, now a required check alongside gate) had never run on the old SHA — a PR opened before that check existed shows it as missing rather than red. It passes on bd7ecbdb.

The two resolved CodeRabbit threads are now anchored to the old SHA. Their resolutions still stand; nothing in those files changed.

Blocking on the destructive in-place upgrade path: removing the tracked legacy CRD deletes existing v1alpha2 InferencePool objects without migration.

[P1] Preserve or migrate existing v1alpha2 pools before deleting this CRD

This manifest is rendered into the tracked agentgateway-crds-post Helm release. On an ordinary upgrade Helm therefore deletes this removed template; Kubernetes then garbage-collects every inference.networking.x-k8s.io/v1alpha2 InferencePool across the cluster. The stable CRD is a different API group and schema (extensionRef/targetPortNumber versus endpointPickerRef/targetPorts), so the API server cannot convert or retain those objects. The PR body acknowledges this destructive path but labels the change non-breaking and low-risk, and there is no user-facing migration step. Please preserve the compatibility CRD for an explicit deprecation window or provide a tested migration or backup-and-restore path before making deletion part of a routine bundle upgrade.

Taken your first option in ecbef5d: the v1alpha2 CRD is now retained, not dropped, with native deprecated: true/deprecationWarning, helm.sh/resource-policy: keep + argocd.argoproj.io/sync-options: Delete=false,Prune=false, and the health-check assert restored — nothing is deleted on any deploy path.

Upstream GAIE v1.5.0 removes
inferencepools.inference.networking.x-k8s.io. Dropping it from the
vendored bundle prunes the CRD on any in-place upgrade and
garbage-collects every v1alpha2 InferencePool cluster-wide. The
stable v1 CRD is a different API group with an incompatible schema,
so the API server cannot convert those objects.

Retain the CRD under a deprecation window instead:

- add native deprecated: true + deprecationWarning on the v1alpha2
  version, so the API server warns on every client call
- add helm.sh/resource-policy: keep and argocd sync-options
  Delete=false,Prune=false, applied now because both are read off
  the live cluster object at prune time and cannot be added
  retroactively
- restore the health-check assert so all five installed CRDs are
  asserted
