What problem does this PR solve?:
This PR introduces support for deploying the Nutanix K8s Agent as a Helm-based addon as part of the cluster deployment workflow in the CAREN repository.
Key changes:
Added support for HelmAddon strategy in the K8s Registration Agent handler.
Updated handler logic to fetch and apply Helm chart configuration dynamically using the provided credentials.
Created unit tests to validate HelmAddon flow and error scenarios.
Ensured the agent’s credentials are handled securely through Kubernetes Secrets instead of directly passing via values.yaml.
This enhancement enables seamless installation of the K8s Agent via HelmReleaseProxy (HRP) and HelmChartProxy (HCP) without manual post-deployment intervention.
Motivation
Previously, the K8s Agent installation was not integrated into the cluster creation process and required manual setup.
By integrating it as an addon:
The K8s Agent will be automatically deployed during cluster provisioning.
Sensitive credentials are now secured using Kubernetes Secrets.
This aligns the agent deployment with other addon-based lifecycle management mechanisms.
Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Fixes #
How Has This Been Tested?:
Verified K8s Agent deployment using the HelmAddon strategy.
Confirmed that:
Pre-install hooks execute as expected.
The secret is created and retained after installation.
Post-upgrade hooks are triggered correctly.
Added unit tests under k8sregistrationagent/handler_test.go
