feat(recipes): add lws as an optional opt-in component - #2500
Conversation
Signed-off-by: Christopher Haar <christopher.haar@upbound.io>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request adds LeaderWorkerSet as an optional registered component. It defines Helm metadata, controller scheduling values, webhook certificate documentation, and a Chainsaw health check. It also updates the component catalog, ADR, and container image inventory. Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The opt-in LWS component is mergeable, but the design documentation should explicitly assign ownership and qualification gates for its chart, images, RBAC, health check, and catalog/mirror entries to avoid unclear maintenance responsibilities.

No leaf overlays affected by this PR. This gate is warning-only and never blocks merge. |

Thanks @haarchri. Nice work: the kueue coexistence note, the cert-manager analysis, and verifying One pushback, on scope rather than on the diff. A registry entry is a long-term commitment: a pin, CRDs and RBAC in user clusters, a health check that becomes a validation contract, BOM and mirror coverage, and requalification on every upgrade. Our most recent precedent for taking that on is ADR-019 for Yes, that expectation is not written down anywhere (we are working on this). The component guide lists the mechanical steps and you followed them exactly, so this is our docs gap, not a goalpost I am moving. LWS is also a smaller ask than k8s-aibom, so the bar should be proportional. The specific question: LWS would land with no recipe referencing it, the "ghost component" state #1686 described for kueue. What is the path to a recipe that uses it? A short note answering that, plus the gates you checked and the non-goals, turns this PR into the implementation of a recorded decision rather than the decision itself. Happy to draft it with you. Technical review continues in parallel. Let me know what you think. |

@mchmarny i preparing a follow-up PR that adds a platform mixin (serving-platform leaf using LeaderWorkerSet as the workload API. the vLLM-style multi-host shape) which references this component via componentRef. We deliberately split it: this PR qualifies the component (pin, health check, BOM, live Kind verification), the next one composes it into a recipe. That path is now recorded in docs/design/024-lws-optional-component.md in this PR: external overlays are the first consumers, the mixin/leaf PR names the stock recipe (landing as an amendment to the ADR). Once a leaf references it, its existing KWOK/UAT lanes cover LWS automatically, which is why we didn't add a standing e2e lane here (make component-test COMPONENT=lws is the on-demand check, and it passes on Kind today). If you would rather review it as one unit, we can fold the mixin into this PR, my preference is the split, since the component qualification is reviewable on its own terms (pins, health-check contract, BOM) without the recipe-composition questions mixed in, and it keeps each diff small. Happy to go either way. |

Make the adoption gates and ownership scope explicit.
The ADR lists pins, health checks, BOM, and requalification, but it does not state who owns chart-managed RBAC or mirror coverage. It also says a future recipe adds componentRef and that existing lanes cover LWS automatically, but it does not define the gates that must pass before recipe or mixin adoption.
Add a short checklist for coordinated qualification of the chart OCI digest, rendered controller image, CRD/RBAC, health check, and BOM/mirror entries. State the upstream/AICR ownership boundary for these artifacts.

I'd recommend we separate the proposed decision from its implementation. At this head, ADR-024 is still Proposed, while the same PR already adds the registry entry, values, health check, catalog, and BOM changes. Merging it would accept and implement the registry-only component in one step; the promised later consumer PR does not resolve that sequencing or scope concern.
Minimum correction: keep only docs/design/024-lws-optional-component.md in this PR. Move all other changes to a follow-up implementation PR after the ADR is accepted.

Summary
Registers LeaderWorkerSet (LWS) as an optional, registry-only Helm component (chart
lwsfromoci://registry.k8s.io/lws/charts, pinned v0.8.0, namespacelws-system) with values, a chainsaw health check, and catalog/BOM docs. No stock overlay or mixin references it, users opt in via an explicitcomponentRefin a custom overlay.Motivation / Context
LWS is the Kubernetes SIGs primitive for leader/worker pod groups, one standard unit of replication for multi-node inference serving (e.g. vLLM / Dynamo multi-host, Modelplane). Serving stacks that build on AICR recipes need it available as a qualified, pinned component without forcing it on every inference recipe. This follows the established opt-in model (
slinky-topograph,k8s-aibomoutside its one stock recipe): registered, health-checked, and BOM'd, but installed only where a leaf overlay declares it.Unlike kueue's registration arc (#1686), LWS needs no default CRs to be functional: installing the chart yields the CRD, webhook, and controller, and users create
LeaderWorkerSetresources themselves, shipping a default CR would deploy actual workload pods. Hence nomanifestFilesand no Go changes.Fixes:

kueueandkubeflow-trainer(workload-API cluster).valueOverrideKeys:lws,leaderworkerset.nodeScheduling.systempins the chart's top-levelnodeSelector/tolerationspaths — chart v0.8.0 has a singlelws-controller-managerDeployment with scheduling keys at the root (verified viahelm show values oci://registry.k8s.io/lws/charts/lws --version v0.8.0).enableCertManager: false), so the component has no cert-manager dependency. Note: the cert is rendered viagenSignedCertat template time, sohelm diffalways shows the Secret changing — harmless;enableCertManager: true+ a cert-managerdependencyRefis the escape hatch if that noise ever matters.leaderworkersets.leaderworkerset.x-k8s.ioEstablished via JMESPath condition projection,lws-controller-manageravailableReplicas > 0, and the standard pod-health error blocks (phase + waiting-reason projections per the feat(recipes): deepen 21 chainsaw health checks; close epic #660 #1245 pattern). No functional CR step: unlike kueue, no CRs ship with the component, and the chainsaw allowlist is read-only, so CRD + controller + pod health is the correct depth.integrations.frameworksdeliberately excludesleaderworkerset, so deploying both does not make Kueue queue LWS workloads — documented in the catalog row; enabling that integration is a deliberate follow-up, out of scope here.registry.k8s.iois already on the egress allowlist (kueue), so no registry-inventory change.Testing
