| ### Change 2: Managed ingress DNS zones (annotation-gated) | ||
|
|
||
| When the annotation `hypershift.openshift.io/managed-ingress-dns: "true"` is set on the HostedCluster, the CPO creates and reconciles public and private Route53 ingress zones in the customer's AWS account. The ingress zones use an `in.` prefix on the cluster domain (`in.{baseDomainPrefix}.{baseDomain}`), keeping the cluster domain itself in the parent zone for ACME challenge delegation. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Note that the in. would be hardcoded - an alternative is an additional annotation to pass this through, an alternative way of hardcoding (e.g. split on the first .) or API changes.
|
|
||
| The controller also creates an ACME DNS01 challenge delegation CNAME record in the public ingress zone, enabling service-side certificate generation for the customer-delegated zone without accessing it directly. | ||
|
|
||
| After zone creation, if external-dns is deployed on the Management Cluster, the controller creates a `DNSEndpoint` CR (external-dns CRD) containing the NS delegation records for the public ingress zone. external-dns picks this up and creates the NS records in the parent zone, completing the DNS delegation chain. If external-dns is not deployed, the controller skips `DNSEndpoint` creation and the consuming platform is responsible for NS delegation using the nameservers reported in HostedCluster status. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
In the alternatives section, I'm mentioning we could also have the delegation piece done by the cluster lifecycle component (e.g. CS / HyperFleet...). However, if there is no strong objection I would prefer to let CPO manage things fully via external-dns.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.Define a stable Route53 idempotency key.
The proposal calls zone creation idempotent but does not define a stable
CallerReference. A retry after a lost response can create an orphaned or duplicate zone.Derive the value deterministically from the cluster UID and zone type. Persist it. Test the lost-response case. AWS documents
CallerReferenceas the retry identity forCreateHostedZone. (docs.aws.amazon.com)
78-78: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.Make external-dns support an explicit capability contract.
A deployed external-dns instance may not watch the CRD source, the CPO namespace, or
NSrecords. It may also lack credentials for the parent zone.Require explicit configuration for the CRD source, API version,
NSin managed record types, parent-zone filtering, namespace scope, and cross-account permissions. Otherwise use the consuming-platform fallback. ExternalDNS documents these configuration requirements. (kubernetes-sigs.github.io)
106-110: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.Do not derive DNS readiness from
DNSEndpoint.status.
DNSEndpoint.statusreports the observed generation. It does not prove that external-dns updated the parent Route53 records. Route53 hosted-zone creation also starts inPENDINGbefore its NS and SOA records become available. (kubernetes-sigs.github.io)When external-dns is absent,
AWSManagedDNSAvailablebecomes true before consuming-platform NS delegation. This conflicts with the instruction to gate certificate requests on that condition.Use separate conditions, or keep the readiness condition false until Route53 and parent-zone DNS checks confirm delegation.

237-245: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.Replace the unsupported tag-based IAM scope.
Route53 does not support tag-based condition keys, so
aws:ResourceTag/red-hat-managedcannot enforce the listed resource scope.CreateHostedZonealso has no tag field; tagging requires a separateChangeTagsForResourcecall. (docs.aws.amazon.com)Add tag-management permissions if tags are used for discovery. Scope operations with exact hosted-zone ARNs and supported Route53 record-condition keys. Otherwise reconciliation will fail, or broad permissions may allow changes to unrelated zones.
314-320: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.Verify the version-skew claim against the CRD schemas.
An older HostedCluster or HostedControlPlane CRD can prune status fields that are absent from its OpenAPI schema. Older typed writers can also drop fields during full-status updates. Kubernetes preserves unknown fields only when the schema explicitly enables that behavior. (kubernetes.io)
Do not rely on generic status copying without verifying served and stored schemas, conversion behavior, and full-status writes. Add a downgrade test with old CRDs and operators, or require coordinated rollout.

HostedControlPlane or HostedCluster, then define how it propagates through the
existing hcp.Status.Platform to hcluster.Status.Platform contract. Add
version-skew tests covering successful and failed DNS zone creation and
condition propagation.
- Around line 355-357: The operational guidance should distinguish always-on
creation/reconciliation of the .hypershift.local zone from annotation-gated
ingress-zone and DNSEndpoint creation. Update the Route53 call,
unannotated-cluster impact, and failure-mode statements so they accurately
describe both paths, while preserving the AWSManagedDNSAvailable condition
behavior.
- Line 127: The AWSManagedDNSAvailable condition must not become True from only
zone and CNAME creation when external-dns is absent. Update the no-external-dns
status logic described in the managed DNS flow to keep the condition False or
Unknown until parent NS delegation is confirmed, or introduce separate
conditions so consumers gate ACME issuance on confirmed delegation.
- Line 75: Update the private ingress Route53 zone flow described in step 4 to
associate the zone with the guest VPC, including the required VPC ID and region
or equivalent association reconciliation. Define cleanup behavior, add the
necessary IAM permissions, and add coverage for association and private DNS
resolution.
- Around line 250-262: Update the Route53 IAM design in the enhancement to add
route53:ChangeTagsForResource for post-creation tagging and ec2:DescribeVpcs for
CreateHostedZone prerequisites; remove unsupported aws:ResourceTag conditions
from hosted-zone actions, define the ownership boundary, and account for the
interval between zone creation and tagging.
- Around line 85-87: Update the local-zone discovery logic to require
Config.PrivateZone == true and validate the hosted zone’s association with the
expected guest VPC using GetHostedZone or ListHostedZonesByVPC. Reuse an
existing zone only when exactly one matching private zone is found; otherwise
preserve creation behavior.
- Line 95: Expand the ExternalDNS delegation contract in the managed ingress
design: specify the pinned ExternalDNS version, --source=crd, watched namespace,
parent-zone selection, ownership policy, and --managed-record-types=NS. Define
the readiness/status contract, and require AWSManagedDNSAvailable=True only
after explicit synchronization or verification of the Route 53 parent-zone
record, not merely from status.observedGeneration.

- Line 82: Update the AWS managed DNS documentation to distinguish always-on
local-zone creation failures from optional ingress-DNS availability: define a
status condition or other explicit status path for local-zone failures, keep

name alone; add route53:ListTagsForResource to IAM and cover lost create
responses, status-write failures, and ambiguous matches for both public and
private zones.
- Around line 343-351: Define a version-safe status update strategy for the CPO

| ## Summary | ||
|
|
||
| Enable the HyperShift Control Plane Operator (CPO) to create and reconcile Route53 DNS zones for AWS hosted control planes, removing the requirement that all DNS zones be pre-created externally. This is an opt-in feature gated by an annotation on the HostedCluster, with no behavioral change for existing clusters. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I would suggest expressing intent in the API instead of introducing another annotation.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Agree that this is the better practice. Switched to a proper spec field (managedDNS on AWSPlatformSpec) with the AWSManagedDNS feature gate.
| 2. A public ingress zone for customer-facing DNS records and certificate validation | ||
| 3. A private ingress zone for VPC-internal DNS resolution | ||
|
|
||
| On Azure and GCP, the CPO already creates the `.hypershift.local` zone itself. On GCP, the CPO also creates all three zone types plus ACME DNS01 challenge delegation records. AWS is the only platform that requires all zones to be pre-created externally. |

ACME DNS01 challenge delegation records
It would be good to link to the section below that explains how/why these records are created.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good call, added a link to the Implementation Details section where the ACME delegation pattern is explained in full. I also added a quick sentence that we need this to provide customers with a certificate for their ingress.
| ### Goals | ||
|
|
||
| - Align `.hypershift.local` zone creation on AWS with Azure and GCP (auto-create when not provided) | ||
| - Enable opt-in managed ingress DNS zone creation on AWS via annotation |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
see my comment on the annotation above.
| 8. The CPO populates `hcp.Status.Platform.AWS.DNSZones` with zone IDs and nameservers. The hypershift-operator propagates this to `hcluster.Status.Platform.AWS.DNSZones` via the existing `hcp.Status.Platform → hcluster.Status.Platform` copy. Conditions are propagated the same way. | ||
| 9. If external-dns is not deployed, the cluster lifecycle component reads the HostedCluster status to obtain zone IDs and nameservers and is responsible for creating NS delegation records in the parent zone. The consuming platform must verify NS delegation is complete before initiating ACME certificate challenges. | ||
|
|
||
| If ingress DNS zone creation fails (steps 4–7), the `AWSManagedDNSAvailable` condition is set to `False` with the error message. The cluster administrator can check this condition on the HostedCluster (propagated from the HostedControlPlane) to diagnose and resolve issues (e.g., missing IAM permissions). The controller retries automatically on the next reconciliation cycle. `.hypershift.local` zone failures (step 3) are reported through the existing PrivateLink controller status and logs. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
.hypershift.localzone failures (step 3) are reported through the existing PrivateLink controller status and logs.
It might be good to specify how this is surfaced. I assume you will have a condition on the AWSEndpointService resource that will get propagated to the HostedCluster?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good question. For .hypershift.local zone failures, they surface through the existing AWSEndpointAvailable condition on the AWSEndpointService resource. Added that to the doc explicitly. Let me know if you think that's the right place or if it should also bubble up somewhere else.
|
|
||
| When `SharedVPC.LocalZoneID` is not provided (or `SharedVPC` is nil), the AWS PrivateLink controller creates the `<clusterName>.hypershift.local` private Route53 zone itself, associated with the guest cluster's VPC. This matches the behavior already implemented for Azure and GCP. | ||
|
|
||
| No opt-in annotation is needed — every private or PublicAndPrivate cluster requires this zone. If the zone ID is not provided, the controller creates it. If a zone ID is provided via `SharedVPC.LocalZoneID`, or if the zone already exists (discoverable via `ListHostedZones`), the existing behavior is preserved. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
If the zone ID is not provided, the controller creates it. If a zone ID is provided via
SharedVPC.LocalZoneID, or if the zone already exists (discoverable viaListHostedZones), the existing behavior is preserved.
Just to clarify, SharedVPC.LocalZoneID is only used in the case of a shared VPC (a separate account owns the vpc for the hosted cluster's instances and also owns the hosted zones associated with that vpc)
The normal route is that LocalZoneID is not specified in the HostedCluster and is always discovered by the PrivateLinkController. Therefore, if you intend for the local zone to be created, we need a way to indicate that in the API.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the clarification on SharedVPC, I had that wrong. Fixed the text to scope it correctly.
For the auto-create question: gating it behind managedDNS. Without managedDNS, behavior is exactly as before.
With managedDNS, I think this could work for shared VPC too, since the CPO already assumes SharedVPC.RolesRef.IngressARN for Route53 operations. Looking at the code, lookupZoneID already uses the IngressARN-assumed client, so discovery should work. And CreateHostedZone would go through the same assumed role. So SharedVPC.LocalZoneID would become unnecessary when managedDNS is set.
But I might be missing something here. Is there a reason LocalZoneID was made explicit for shared VPC instead of relying on discovery via IngressARN? If there is a subtlety I'm not seeing, that would affect whether managed DNS can work for shared VPC at all.
Assuming it does work, the shared VPC Route53 policy would need CreateHostedZone and DeleteHostedZone added. Thoughts?

Looking at the shared ingress role it does seem like we should be able to discover it. But possibly because of the condition limiting the domains it can operate on or simply a point in time version of the policy, when we developed support for shared vpc we were not able to query zones, which is why we required it.

My understanding is that one of the main motivations for shared vpc is to centralize management in an account where we have reduced powers. Do we want to extend zone management to that account? (might be good to check with product mgmt)

Strictly speaking ingress/router DNS zones have nothing to do with an AWSEndpointService. The zone associated with an AWSEndpointService is the local zone. This would be an odd place to put your ingress zone ids.

Yeah, I noticed it felt wrong when I started plumbing it. Moved ingress zone IDs to hcp.Status.Platform.AWS.DNSZones (new AWSPlatformStatus.DNSZones field). AWSEndpointServiceStatus.DNSZoneID stays for the local zone only, which is what it's actually about.

| **Zone cleanup:** | ||

| On HostedCluster deletion, the controller deletes the `DNSEndpoint` CR (if created), drains all non-SOA/NS records from each managed zone, then deletes the zones. Zone IDs are stored in `AWSEndpointServiceStatus.IngressDNSZoneIDs` so cleanup can proceed even if the HostedControlPlane resource has been deleted. |

What controller would delete the hosted zones?

The PrivateLink controller handles it. On HC deletion it drains non-SOA/NS records from each managed zone, then deletes the zones. Zone IDs come from hcp.Status.Platform.AWS.DNSZones. If the HCP is already gone by then, the ingress zone IDs are unavailable and those zones would be orphaned. The .hypershift.local zone is tracked separately in AWSEndpointServiceStatus so it can still be cleaned up even if the HCP is gone.
We could add tag-based fallback for the HCP-already-deleted case later, but it might be overkill. Let me know if that makes sense to you.

This controller reconciles AWSEndpointService resources. Should it not be the CPO since the zone Ids are stored in the hcp status?

| The consuming platform may attempt ACME DNS01 challenges before the ingress zone and ACME CNAME are created. Mitigation: the `AWSManagedDNSAvailable` condition signals when DNS is ready. The consuming platform should gate certificate requests on this condition. |

Still seems like you could end up with a race. Should there be a dns query/check to indicate that the customer's public zone is available?

Good input. I would add a live net.LookupNS() check that the CPO runs when delegation is configured. The AWSManagedDNSAvailable condition stays False with reason NSDelegationPending until delegation actually resolves in DNS. The consuming platform could gate certificate requests on that condition, so it won't try ACME challenges until DNS is ready.
In practice and in our setup, it might even be advantageous for the initial certificate to be created before delegation, as this would succeed as well through the non delegated path. I'm not intending to gate on this but instead let the certificate challenge through whatver path is available - whether that's directly by finding the acme DNS01 record in the service-owned hostedzone, or by going through the delegation loop.
Does a net.LookupNS() check cover the race you're thinking about?

Yes though I wonder if it might be overkill

| Not applicable — this feature is annotation-gated and only active when the consuming platform opts in. There is no independent graduation lifecycle. |

Should the API changes (especially if you introduce a spec change to indicate whether to lifecycle dns zones) be gated by a featuregate?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Updated to be gated behind AWSManagedDNS feature gate now that it's a proper api field. The managedDNS spec field and the AWSManagedDNSSpec type both carry +openshift:enable:FeatureGate=AWSManagedDNS. Starts in TechPreviewNoUpgrade, promotes to Default after we validate in HyperFleet environments. See the Graduation Criteria section for the full plan.

| This enhancement adds new status fields to existing CRDs (`AWSPlatformStatus`, `AWSEndpointServiceStatus`) and a new condition type. No new CRDs, webhooks, or aggregated API servers are introduced. | ||

| - The `.hypershift.local` private zone creation is always-on when `SharedVPC.LocalZoneID` is not provided. This requires Route53 API calls for every private or PublicAndPrivate cluster regardless of the annotation. Failure to create this zone is surfaced via CPO logs and prevents VPC endpoint DNS resolution. |

As explained above, this is not how this works. The only reason the zone is specified in the shared vpc case is that we don't have a way to query zones in the VPC owner's account.

Thanks, fixed the text to scope it correctly.

Enhancement Proposal
Managed Ingress DNS for AWS Hosted Control Planes (RFE-9235 / OCPSTRAT-3616).
Enables the HyperShift CPO to create and reconcile Route53 DNS zones for AWS hosted control planes, removing the requirement that all DNS zones be pre-created externally. Annotation-gated with no behavioral change for existing clusters.
