Proposal to use tags for tracking PowerVS cluster resources

k8s-ci-robot · 2025-05-20T08:00:58Z

Hi @arshadd-b. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs 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. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

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.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

In the delete flow diagram, I think If is not needed inside the rhombus as its already a decision block
In create flow diagram I think you missed to consider COSInstance

Hi @arshadd-b, Thank you for the proposal!

I'm not clear on how user tags will be used apart from the controller tag. Can you please share more details on it?

Hi @arshadd-b, Thank you for the proposal!

I'm not clear on how user tags will be used apart from the controller tag. Can you please share more details on it?

Hi @Amulyam24 , It is the same functionality that we do from UI, adding tags to IBM Cloud resources if user wants to tag resources. It can help to user in resource management.

Got it, Thanks for the clarification.

A couple of suggestions have been added.

In the create flow diagram, how about we enhance the condition such as cluster.spec.UserTags > 0 , then proceed to attach user provided tags.

+- Currently TransitGateway Connections doesn't support tagging, So we will handle deletion of connections based on VPC.
+- DHCP Server doesn't support tagging, So we will tag DHCP Network and handle deletion based on Network.


Suggested change

- Currently TransitGateway Connections doesn't support tagging, So we will handle deletion of connections based on VPC.

- DHCP Server doesn't support tagging, So we will tag DHCP Network and handle deletion based on Network.

Currently transit gateway connections and DHCP server don't support tagging. We will handle their deletion using the VPC and network tag respectively.

When DHCP server is created, we use its network right, is that taggable?

should we depend on workspace resource tag instead?

cc @Karthik-K-N

@Amulyam24 Actually there is ause case when workspace is already created but DHCP network is newly created,
in that case we want to delete the network only not workspace. So for this case we have to tag the network.
I have already checked for network tagging is supported .

Updated the flow diagram

arshadd-b · 2025-09-12T13:16:32Z

Please mention what will happen in case of user passing certain tags and the resource is already exists. Do we need to attach the user provided tags? If yes, we have to clean the tags alone during deletion.

I need to do small POC to check on this , for VPC resources we can attach but for power resources will check if we can do that

arshadd-b · 2025-09-30T04:12:15Z

I was able to check adding the tags to power resources tried with existing workspace. But need to check if we can delete the tags without deleting workspace.

arshadd-b · 2025-10-06T08:33:01Z

Have checked the deletion of tags as well without deleting the resource . I will update the proposal with the details
