# Reusable Kind Infrastructure for All Services

**Date**: 2025-10-12
**Version**: 1.0
**Status**: ✅ **PRODUCTION-READY**
**Purpose**: Standardize Kind cluster setup across all microservices integration tests

---

## 🎯 **Purpose**

This document provides **reusable Kind infrastructure** that ALL services can use for integration testing, eliminating the need to create per-service Kind configurations and Make targets.

**Benefits**:
- ✅ **DRY Principle**: Single source of truth for Kind cluster setup
- ✅ **Consistency**: All services use the same test environment
- ✅ **Maintainability**: Update once, propagate to all services
- ✅ **Speed**: Faster test development with standardized utilities

---

## 📁 **Existing Infrastructure**

### **1. Kind Utility Package** (`pkg/testutil/kind/`)

Reusable Go package for Kind cluster operations:

| File | Purpose | Key Functions |
|------|---------|---------------|
| `suite.go` | Test suite setup/teardown | `Setup()`, `Cleanup()`, `RegisterCleanup()` |
| `wait.go` | Wait for resources to be ready | `WaitForPod()`, `WaitForService()`, `WaitForDeployment()` |
| `services.go` | Service deployment helpers | `DeployService()`, `ExposeService()` |
| `configmaps.go` | ConfigMap management | `CreateConfigMap()`, `UpdateConfigMap()` |
| `database.go` | Database deployment helpers | `DeployPostgreSQL()`, `DeployRedis()` |

**Import Path**:
```go
import "github.com/jordigilh/kubernaut/pkg/testutil/kind"
```

---

### **2. Kind Cluster Configurations** (`test/kind/`)

Reusable Kind cluster YAML configurations:

| File | Purpose | Port Mappings | Use Case |
|------|---------|---------------|----------|
| `kind-config-simple.yaml` | Minimal 2-node cluster | 8800, 9090 | General integration tests |
| `kind-config-gateway.yaml` | Gateway-specific cluster | 6379 (Redis), 8080 (HTTP), 8443 (HTTPS) | Gateway service tests |
| `kind-config.yaml` | Legacy configuration | Custom | Deprecated, use `kind-config-simple.yaml` |

---

### **3. Make Targets** (Makefile)

Existing Make targets for Kind operations:

| Target | Purpose | Cluster Name | Use Case |
|--------|---------|--------------|----------|
| `test-gateway-setup` | Setup Gateway test cluster | `kubernaut-gateway-test` | Gateway integration tests |
| `test-gateway-teardown` | Teardown Gateway cluster | `kubernaut-gateway-test` | Gateway cleanup |
| `test-gateway` | Run Gateway tests | `kubernaut-gateway-test` | Gateway test execution |
| `setup-test-e2e` | Setup E2E test cluster | `kubernaut-temp-test-e2e` | E2E tests |
| `cleanup-test-e2e` | Teardown E2E cluster | `kubernaut-temp-test-e2e` | E2E cleanup |

---

## 🏗️ **Recommended Approach: Unified Kind Infrastructure**

### **Strategy**: Single Reusable Make Target + Service-Specific Namespaces

Instead of creating per-service Kind clusters, use a **single shared Kind cluster** with **service-specific namespaces** for isolation.

**Benefits**:
- ✅ **Faster Test Execution**: Cluster already running (no startup delay)
- ✅ **Simpler CI/CD**: Single cluster creation step
- ✅ **Resource Efficiency**: One cluster for all services
- ✅ **Real Integration**: Services can interact across namespaces

**Trade-off**:
- ⚠️ **Potential Conflicts**: Services must clean up namespaces properly
- **Mitigation**: Use unique namespace names with test run IDs

---

## 📋 **Unified Make Target Pattern**

### **Add to Makefile** (Root Level)

```makefile
##@ Integration Testing (Kind Cluster)

KIND_CLUSTER_NAME ?= kubernaut-integration
KIND_CONFIG ?= test/kind/kind-config-simple.yaml

.PHONY: kind-cluster-create
kind-cluster-create: ## Create shared Kind cluster for integration tests
	@echo "🚀 Creating Kind cluster: $(KIND_CLUSTER_NAME)"
	@if kind get clusters 2>/dev/null | grep -q "^$(KIND_CLUSTER_NAME)$$"; then \
		echo "✅ Kind cluster '$(KIND_CLUSTER_NAME)' already exists"; \
	else \
		kind create cluster --name $(KIND_CLUSTER_NAME) --config $(KIND_CONFIG) --wait 60s; \
		echo "✅ Kind cluster created successfully"; \
	fi
	@kubectl config use-context kind-$(KIND_CLUSTER_NAME)

.PHONY: kind-cluster-delete
kind-cluster-delete: ## Delete shared Kind cluster
	@echo "🗑️  Deleting Kind cluster: $(KIND_CLUSTER_NAME)"
	@kind delete cluster --name $(KIND_CLUSTER_NAME) 2>/dev/null || true
	@echo "✅ Kind cluster deleted"

.PHONY: kind-cluster-status
kind-cluster-status: ## Check Kind cluster status
	@echo "📊 Kind Cluster Status"
	@echo "======================"
	@if kind get clusters 2>/dev/null | grep -q "^$(KIND_CLUSTER_NAME)$$"; then \
		echo "✅ Cluster: $(KIND_CLUSTER_NAME) is running"; \
		kubectl cluster-info --context kind-$(KIND_CLUSTER_NAME); \
	else \
		echo "❌ Cluster: $(KIND_CLUSTER_NAME) is NOT running"; \
		echo "   Run: make kind-cluster-create"; \
	fi

.PHONY: kind-install-crds
kind-install-crds: ## Install Kubernaut CRDs into Kind cluster
	@echo "📦 Installing Kubernaut CRDs"
	@kubectl apply -f config/crd/bases/
	@echo "✅ CRDs installed"

.PHONY: kind-setup
kind-setup: kind-cluster-create kind-install-crds ## Complete Kind cluster setup (create + CRDs)
	@echo "✅ Kind cluster setup complete!"
	@echo ""
	@echo "To run integration tests:"
	@echo "  make test-integration-<service-name>"
```

---

## 🔧 **Service-Specific Integration Test Pattern**

### **Pattern**: Reuse Shared Cluster with Unique Namespaces

Each service's integration tests should:
1. Connect to **existing shared Kind cluster** (via `kind.Setup()`)
2. Create **unique test namespaces** (with test run ID to avoid collisions)
3. Deploy **service-specific resources** (databases, dependencies)
4. Run **tests** with proper isolation
5. **Cleanup namespaces** in `AfterSuite`

---

### **Example: Notification Service Integration Test**

```go
// test/integration/notification/suite_test.go
package notification

import (
	"context"
	"testing"

	. "github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2"
	. "github.com/onsi/gomega"
	"k8s.io/client-go/kubernetes"

	"github.com/jordigilh/kubernaut/pkg/testutil/kind"
)

var (
	suite     *kind.IntegrationSuite
	k8sClient kubernetes.Interface
	ctx       context.Context
	cancel    context.CancelFunc
)

func TestNotificationIntegration(t *testing.T) {
	RegisterFailHandler(Fail)
	RunSpecs(t, "Notification Service Integration Suite (KIND)")
}

var _ = BeforeSuite(func() {
	ctx, cancel = context.WithCancel(context.Background())

	By("connecting to existing KIND cluster")

	// Connect to shared Kind cluster (created via `make kind-setup`)
	// Creates notification-specific namespaces for test isolation
	suite = kind.Setup("notification-test", "kubernaut-system")
	k8sClient = suite.Client

	// Deploy notification-specific dependencies
	By("deploying test dependencies")
	deployTestDependencies()

	GinkgoWriter.Println("✅ Notification integration test environment ready")
})

var _ = AfterSuite(func() {
	By("tearing down the test environment")

	cancel()

	if suite != nil {
		suite.Cleanup()
	}

	GinkgoWriter.Println("✅ Cleanup complete")
})

func deployTestDependencies() {
	// Deploy notification-specific resources
	// Example: SMTP mock server, Slack webhook mock, etc.
}
```

---

### **Add Service-Specific Make Target**

```makefile
##@ Notification Service Integration Tests

.PHONY: test-integration-notification
test-integration-notification: kind-setup manifests generate ## Run Notification service integration tests
	@echo "🧪 Running Notification service integration tests"
	@kubectl config use-context kind-$(KIND_CLUSTER_NAME)
	@cd test/integration/notification && ginkgo -v
```

## 📊 **Service Integration Test Checklist**

For each new service, add integration tests following this checklist:

### **1. Test Suite Setup**

- [ ] Create `test/integration/<service-name>/` directory
- [ ] Create `suite_test.go` using `kind.Setup()` pattern
- [ ] Define unique namespaces for service isolation
- [ ] Import `github.com/jordigilh/kubernaut/pkg/testutil/kind`

### **2. Test Dependencies**

- [ ] Deploy service-specific dependencies (databases, mocks)
- [ ] Use `suite.RegisterCleanup()` for resource cleanup
- [ ] Verify resources ready before running tests

### **3. Test Files**

- [ ] Create `<feature>_test.go` files using Ginkgo/Gomega
- [ ] Use `suite.Client` for Kubernetes operations
- [ ] Test business requirements (BR-XXX-XXX)
- [ ] Follow >50% integration test coverage mandate

### **4. Make Target**

- [ ] Add `test-integration-<service-name>` target to Makefile
- [ ] Depend on `kind-setup` target
- [ ] Use `ginkgo -v` for verbose output

### **5. CI/CD Integration**

- [ ] Add integration test job to CI pipeline
- [ ] Ensure `kind-setup` runs before tests
- [ ] Clean up Kind cluster after tests

---

## 🧪 **Kind Utility API Reference**

### **`kind.Setup(namespaces ...string) *IntegrationSuite`**

Connects to existing Kind cluster and creates test namespaces.

**Parameters**:
- `namespaces`: One or more namespace names to create

**Returns**:
- `*IntegrationSuite`: Configured suite with Kubernetes client

**Example**:
```go
suite := kind.Setup("notification-test", "kubernaut-system", "monitoring")
```

---

### **`suite.Cleanup()`**

Deletes test namespaces and executes registered cleanup functions.

**Example**:
```go
var _ = AfterSuite(func() {
    suite.Cleanup()
})
```

---

### **`suite.RegisterCleanup(fn func())`**

Registers a cleanup function to execute in `Cleanup()`.

**Example**:
```go
svc := deployTestService(suite.Client, "notification-test")
suite.RegisterCleanup(func() {
    suite.Client.CoreV1().Services("notification-test").Delete(ctx, svc.Name, metav1.DeleteOptions{})
})
```

---

### **`kind.WaitForPodReady(client kubernetes.Interface, namespace, labelSelector string, timeout time.Duration) error`**

Waits for pod to be ready.

**Example**:
```go
err := kind.WaitForPodReady(suite.Client, "notification-test", "app=smtp-mock", 60*time.Second)
Expect(err).ToNot(HaveOccurred())
```

---

### **`kind.DeployPostgreSQL(client kubernetes.Interface, namespace string) error`**

Deploys PostgreSQL for integration testing.

**Example**:
```go
err := kind.DeployPostgreSQL(suite.Client, "notification-test")
Expect(err).ToNot(HaveOccurred())
```

---

### **`kind.DeployRedis(client kubernetes.Interface, namespace string) error`**

Deploys Redis for integration testing.

**Example**:
```go
err := kind.DeployRedis(suite.Client, "notification-test")
Expect(err).ToNot(HaveOccurred())
```

---

## 📚 **Examples from Existing Services**

### **Gateway Service** (Reference Implementation)

**Kind Configuration**: `test/kind/kind-config-gateway.yaml`
**Test Suite**: `test/integration/gateway/gateway_suite_test.go`
**Make Targets**: `test-gateway-setup`, `test-gateway`, `test-gateway-teardown`

**Key Patterns**:
- Custom port mappings for Redis (6379) and Ingress (8080, 8443)
- Redis NodePort deployment for direct access from tests
- ServiceAccount token generation for authentication

**Usage**:
```bash
make test-gateway-setup  # One-time setup
make test-gateway        # Run tests (reuses cluster)
make test-gateway-teardown # Cleanup
```

---

### **Dynamic Toolset Service** (Reference Implementation)

**Test Suite**: `test/integration/toolset/suite_test.go`
**Make Target**: None (uses existing Kind cluster)

**Key Patterns**:
- Uses `kind.Setup("monitoring", "observability", "kubernaut-system")`
- Creates multiple namespaces for multi-namespace testing
- Deploys standard test services (Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, Elasticsearch)
- Unique namespace naming with test run ID to avoid collisions

**Usage**:
```go
suite = kind.Setup("monitoring", "observability", "kubernaut-system")
createStandardTestServices(ctx, suite.Client)
```

---

## 🚀 **Recommended Workflow**

### **For New Services**

1. **Create Integration Test Suite**:
   ```bash
   mkdir -p test/integration/<service-name>
   touch test/integration/<service-name>/suite_test.go
   ```

2. **Use Kind Utility**:
   ```go
   import "github.com/jordigilh/kubernaut/pkg/testutil/kind"

   suite := kind.Setup("<service-name>-test", "kubernaut-system")
   ```

3. **Add Make Target**:
   ```makefile
   .PHONY: test-integration-<service-name>
   test-integration-<service-name>: kind-setup
       @cd test/integration/<service-name> && ginkgo -v
   ```

4. **Run Tests**:
   ```bash
   make kind-setup                        # One-time cluster creation
   make test-integration-<service-name>   # Run tests (reuses cluster)
   ```

---

### **For CI/CD Pipelines**

```yaml
# .github/workflows/integration-tests.yml
jobs:
  integration-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Checkout code
      uses: actions/checkout@v3

    - name: Setup Kind cluster
      run: make kind-setup

    - name: Run integration tests
      run: |
        make test-integration-gateway
        make test-integration-notification
        make test-integration-datastorage
        # Add more services as needed

    - name: Cleanup
      if: always()
      run: make kind-cluster-delete
```

## 📊 **Service-Specific vs. Shared Cluster**

### **Decision Matrix**

| Service | Cluster Strategy | Rationale |
|---------|------------------|-----------|
| **Gateway** | **Service-Specific** (`kubernaut-gateway-test`) | Custom port mappings (6379, 8080, 8443), Ingress controller |
| **Notification** | **Shared** (`kubernaut-integration`) | Standard services (SMTP mock, Slack mock), no special port requirements |
| **Data Storage** | **Shared** (`kubernaut-integration`) | PostgreSQL, Redis, no special requirements |
| **AI Analysis** | **Shared** (`kubernaut-integration`) | LLM mocks, no special requirements |
| **Remediation** | **Shared** (`kubernaut-integration`) | Standard Kubernetes APIs, no special requirements |

**Rule of Thumb**:
- Use **service-specific cluster** only if you need:
  - Custom port mappings
  - Special ingress/networking configuration
  - Services that conflict with other tests
- Use **shared cluster** for everything else

---

## 🔧 **Migration Plan: Standardize Existing Services**

### **Phase 1: Document Current State** (Complete)
- ✅ Gateway uses custom cluster (`kubernaut-gateway-test`)
- ✅ Dynamic Toolset uses shared cluster pattern (no dedicated cluster)
- ✅ E2E tests use temporary cluster (`kubernaut-temp-test-e2e`)

### **Phase 2: Add Unified Make Targets**
- [ ] Add `kind-cluster-create` target
- [ ] Add `kind-cluster-delete` target
- [ ] Add `kind-cluster-status` target
- [ ] Add `kind-setup` target (create + install CRDs)

### **Phase 3: Migrate Services to Shared Cluster** (As Needed)
- [ ] Notification Service: Use shared cluster
- [ ] Data Storage Service: Use shared cluster
- [ ] AI Analysis Service: Use shared cluster
- [ ] Context API Service: Use shared cluster

### **Phase 4: CI/CD Integration**
- [ ] Update GitHub Actions to use `kind-setup`
- [ ] Add parallel integration test execution
- [ ] Add integration test coverage reporting

---

## ✅ **Best Practices**

### **DO**:
- ✅ **Reuse shared Kind cluster** for most services
- ✅ **Use unique namespace names** with test run IDs
- ✅ **Clean up namespaces** in `AfterSuite`
- ✅ **Deploy service-specific dependencies** in test suite
- ✅ **Use `kind.Setup()` pattern** for consistency
- ✅ **Register cleanup functions** for resources that don't auto-delete with namespaces
- ✅ **Wait for resources to be ready** before running tests

### **DON'T**:
- ❌ **Don't create per-service Kind clusters** unless absolutely necessary
- ❌ **Don't hardcode namespace names** (use unique test run IDs)
- ❌ **Don't leave resources behind** (always clean up)
- ❌ **Don't assume resources are ready** (use wait utilities)
- ❌ **Don't share state between tests** (use `BeforeEach`/`AfterEach` properly)
