# Coulombcore ArgoCD retirement preparation
|
|
|
|
Existing owner task: RPF-WP-0044-T08. Prepared September 27, 2026; blocked
|
|
pending a readable live inventory. No controller, application or workload was
|
|
changed. This document is the phase C preparation within the existing workplan.
|
|
|
|
The host SSH lane works. Kubernetes returned Unauthorized for both the normal
|
|
kubectl context and `sudo -n k3s kubectl --kubeconfig
|
|
/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml get nodes`. The infrastructure/cluster owner must
|
|
restore accepted read access; do not rotate cluster credentials or restart k3s
|
|
as an incidental inventory fix. Current workload ownership cannot be inferred
|
|
from the old manifests.
|
|
|
|
## Inventory and decision inputs
|
|
|
|
Capture node/cluster identity, ArgoCD deployments/statefulsets and installed
|
|
version, Applications and AppProjects, each Application's destination, pinned
|
|
revision, tracked resource set, hooks, automated sync and finalizers. Read only
|
|
repository Secret metadata, never data. Identify external cluster destinations:
|
|
an old controller can still manage a remote cluster. Search platform and tenant
|
|
source for references to `argocd/applications/` and `argocd/bootstrap/`, including
|
|
Make entry points, and match each live application to its accepting owner.
|
|
|
|
The railiance01 root uses `argocd/railiance01/applications`; the legacy root
|
|
uses `argocd/applications`. Do not remove the legacy tree while the old controller
|
|
can reconcile it with prune enabled. Keep evidence of each workload's current
|
|
replicas, readiness and image before any retirement execution.
|
|
|
|
## Ordered execution after inventory and owner acceptance
|
|
|
|
1. Have the cluster owner pin the installed railiance01 ArgoCD version and
|
|
reviewed resource requests in its canonical source. Inspect current requests;
|
|
the original phase A BestEffort observation is historical, not a fresh check.
|
|
2. Classify each old tracked resource: already adopted on railiance01, retained
|
|
on coulombcore with another owner, or separately approved for retirement.
|
|
An application name match does not prove matching cluster/resource identity.
|
|
3. Freeze the old root and child reconciliation through the cluster owner's
|
|
reviewed procedure. Confirm no running sync operation and no second writer.
|
|
Preserve the old Application specs and controller configuration in protected
|
|
recovery storage; repository credentials stay under existing custody.
|
|
4. Detach only inventory-approved Application objects without cascading workload
|
|
deletion. Review resource finalizers first; never delete the ArgoCD namespace
|
|
or CRDs as a shortcut. Verify every retained workload is still healthy and
|
|
each replacement owner can reconcile its accepted resource set.
|
|
5. Disable the old controller through its actual installation owner. Prove it
|
|
no longer reconciles and that no unrelated system uses its repository/auth
|
|
resources. Revoke retired credentials only through their custody owners.
|
|
6. Once the old controller is inert, remove the legacy source directories and
|
|
retire or repoint their callers in one reviewed platform change. Render the
|
|
railiance01 bootstrap and children and verify no legacy reference remains.
|
|
|
|
Stop for missing inventory, ambiguous tracking, active operations, unknown
|
|
finalizers, missing acceptance or degraded retained workloads. Before detachment,
|
|
rollback restores the recorded sync configuration. After replacement ownership,
|
|
keep the old controller stopped until the replacement writer is explicitly
|
|
suspended; rollback must never run two reconcilers against one workload. Package
|
|
or data deletion needs its own exact approved disposition.
|
|
|
|
Completion evidence must include the inventory, accepting owners, source/caller
|
|
changes, controller shutdown and retained-workload checks. T08's planning closure
|
|
still requires the live read-only inventory. Execution remains with the existing
|
|
cluster/infra owners; no new task or workplan is created here.
