## 🎯 **EXECUTIVE SUMMARY**

This document defines the **V1.0 microservices architecture** for Kubernaut, an intelligent Kubernetes remediation agent. The V1.0 architecture implements **10 core microservices** (5 CRD controllers + 5 stateless services), each adhering to the **Single Responsibility Principle**, with a **V1.1 roadmap** for 1 additional service and **V2 roadmap** for advanced services. This provides rapid deployment capability before year-end 2025 while maintaining complete core remediation requirements coverage.

**December 2025 Updates**:
- **Dynamic Toolset** deferred to V2.0 (DD-016, redundant with HolmesGPT-API's Prometheus discovery)
- **Effectiveness Monitor** deferred to V1.1 (DD-017, requires 8+ weeks of remediation data for meaningful assessments)

### **V1 Implementation Strategy**
**Complete V1 Strategy**: See [Implementation Roadmap](KUBERNAUT_IMPLEMENTATION_ROADMAP.md) for detailed V1 timeline (3-4 weeks), HolmesGPT-API integration approach, and 95% confidence assessment.

### **Key Architecture Principles**
- **Single Responsibility Principle**: Each service has exactly one responsibility
- **Business-Driven Decomposition**: Services align with business capabilities
- **Minimal Coupling**: Services communicate only when business requirements demand it
- **External System Integration**: Proper integration with all required external systems
- **Independent Scaling**: Each service scales based on its specific workload

- **Stateless Services** (5): Gateway, Data Storage, HolmesGPT API, Notifications, Effectiveness Monitor (Level 1)

**Important Notes**:
- **Oscillation detection** (preventing remediation loops) is a capability of the Effectiveness Monitor service (queries PostgreSQL action_history table), not a separate service.
- **External infrastructure monitoring** (Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger) are external systems, not Kubernaut microservices.
- **Package Naming**: Signal Processing service is implemented in `pkg/signalprocessing/` for naming consistency with the service name.

### **🔄 Service Flow Summary**

**V1 Primary Processing Path**:
```
Signal Sources → Gateway → Signal Processing → AI Analysis → Workflow Execution → K8s Executor → Kubernetes
```

**AI Investigation Loop** (V1):
```
AI Analysis ↔ HolmesGPT API ↔ Context API
                    ↕
              Dynamic Toolset (provides toolset configuration)
```

**Storage Interactions** (Query Pattern):
- **K8s Executor** → Storage (writes execution results)
- **AI Analysis** → Storage (queries historical patterns)
- **Effectiveness Monitor** → Storage (queries action history for assessment and loop detection)

**Effectiveness Monitor Pattern**:
- Queries `action_history` table in PostgreSQL/Storage for effectiveness assessment
- Queries external Prometheus/Grafana for metrics correlation
- Detects remediation loops (same action on same resource repeatedly)
- Performs multi-dimensional effectiveness analysis (traditional score + environmental impact)
- Triggers alerts to Notifications when remediation loops detected or effectiveness declining

**Notification Triggers**:
- **RemediationOrchestrator** → Notifications (approval requests, escalation events) - **NEW in V1.0 (ADR-018)**
- **Effectiveness Monitor** → Notifications (loop detection alerts, effectiveness trends)
- **K8s Executor** → Notifications (execution failures)

**Approval Notification Flow** (V1.0):
```
AIAnalysis (phase=Approving) → RemediationOrchestrator (watches status) → NotificationRequest CRD → Notification Service → Slack/Console
```

**Note**: Context API is read-only and does not trigger notifications. Workflow Execution notification triggers require explicit BR documentation (currently not implemented in V1).

**V2 Enhanced Path** (Future):
```
Signal Sources → Gateway → Signal Processing → AI Analysis → Multi-Model Orchestration → Workflow Execution → K8s Executor
```

**Investigation Capabilities**:
- **Dynamic Toolsets**: HolmesGPT tools configured via Dynamic Toolset service
- **LLM-Driven Tool Selection**: LLM decides which investigation tools to use based on signal symptoms
- **Adaptive Context Fetching**: LLM requests specific historical data from Context API as needed
- **Iterative Investigation**: LLM requests tools → HolmesGPT executes → LLM analyzes results
- **Multi-Source Data**: Combines historical context, cluster state, logs, events, metrics
- **AI-Powered Root Cause Analysis**: LLM correlates historical + current data to identify root cause
- **Safety Validation**: All recommendations validated before execution

**Key Design**: The LLM uses **function calling** to request specific investigation tools dynamically, including:
- **Kubernetes Tools**: `get_pods`, `get_logs`, `get_events` (current cluster state)
- **Context API Tools**: `get_similar_incidents`, `get_success_rate`, `get_environment_constraints` (historical intelligence)
- **Adaptive Strategy**: LLM decides which tools to use and when, rather than pre-fetching all context upfront

This allows the investigation to adapt based on the signal type and initial findings, fetching only the historical context actually needed.

**Workflow Orchestration Capabilities**:
- **Dependency Resolution**: Automatically calculates execution order based on step dependencies
- **Parallel Execution**: Executes independent steps concurrently for faster remediation
- **Sequential Execution**: Ensures dependent steps run in correct order
- **Safety Validation**: Each step validated before execution (dry-run capability)
- **Watch-Based Coordination**: Monitors Tekton PipelineRun status for step completion
- **AI Recommendations Authority**: Uses AI recommendations as authoritative source (no Context API revalidation)
- **Step-Level Validation**: Each action container validates expected outcomes, Workflow relies on PipelineRun status
- **Atomic Operations**: Each step is independent Tekton PipelineRun (isolated failure domain)
- **Audit Trail**: Complete execution history stored in Data Storage

**Key Design Patterns**:
1. **Step Dependency Graph**: Workflow builds directed acyclic graph (DAG) of dependencies
   - Steps with no dependencies execute first
   - Steps execute when all dependencies complete
   - Parallel execution when multiple steps ready simultaneously

2. **PipelineRun-per-Step Pattern**: Each workflow step creates Tekton PipelineRun
   - **Benefits**: Isolated failure, independent retry, clear audit trail, industry-standard execution
   - **Watch-Based**: Workflow watches each PipelineRun status
   - **Non-Blocking**: Workflow doesn't wait, relies on watch events

3. **Safety-First Validation**: Multi-layer safety before execution
   - AI recommendations as authoritative source (no Context API revalidation)
   - Safety constraint validation (Rego policies via ConfigMaps)
   - Dry-run capability (optional per step)
   - Expected outcome validation (per-step in action containers)

4. **Step-Driven Orchestration**: Workflow relies on step status for decisions
   - If step status = failed → trigger rollback steps
   - If step status = completed → continue to next dependencies
   - Step validation embedded in executor (not workflow-level)
   - Workflow monitors step status, doesn't validate Kubernetes directly

**Workflow Execution Flow**:
```
AI Recommendations → Workflow Planning → Dependency Resolution → Parallel/Sequential Execution → Validation → Completion
```

This architecture enables efficient, safe, and adaptive workflow execution with complete auditability.

- ✅ Corrected V1 service count: 10 services (5 CRD controllers + 5 stateless services) per DD-017 v2.0
- ✅ Fixed port numbers: All services use 8080 (100% standardization)
- ✅ Clarified oscillation detection is a query pattern in Effectiveness Monitor, not a separate service
- ✅ Separated V1 (10 services) from V2 (4 additional services) clearly
- ✅ DD-017 v2.0: Effectiveness Monitor Level 1 in V1.0; Level 2 in V1.1
