What this PR does

The FoundationDB operator never starts on arm64. Its foundationdb-kubernetes-init-7-1 init container runs foundationdb/fdb-kubernetes-monitor:7.1.67 and fails with exec format error. All 67 published 7.1.x tags of that image are single amd64 manifests, so there is no multi-arch 7.1 tag to move to. The 7.3.63 and 7.4.1 tags, and the operator image itself, publish linux/arm64. Upstream hits the same gap in its own build: the operator Dockerfile at v2.30.0 swaps its built-in 7.1 client for 7.3 on arm64.

The fix removes the 7.1 entry when the chart is vendored, instead of overriding it in the package values. The update recipe deletes it with yq, and the committed chart equals what the recipe produces. A null override would not last. Helm 4.2 and later ignore a null that a parent chart sets on a subchart key when no user-supplied values reach that subchart (helm/helm#32132). The platform passes this package no values, so that is exactly the case here. helm-unittest renders with Helm 3, so the override would silently stop working after a Flux bump. helm template now renders only the 7.3 and 7.4 init containers under both Helm 4.1.1 (what helm-controller v1.5.0 uses) and Helm 4.3.0. The test pins exactly two init containers, so it fails if a later make update brings 7.1 back.

This is a breaking change. The operator loses the 7.1 fdbcli, fdbbackup, fdbrestore and client library, so it can no longer manage or upgrade a FoundationDB cluster pinned to 7.1.x. The app defaults to 7.3.63 and nothing in this repository sets 7.1, but cluster.version is a free string. A user who set 7.1.x has to upgrade that cluster to 7.3 before installing this release.

Related: #4511, the app still accepts any string as the FoundationDB version, 7.1 included.

Screenshots

Not a UI change.

Downstream repositories

The diff touches one system package: its update recipe, its vendored chart values, and its test. No app schema, platform value, CRD or shared tooling changes, and a search of the cozystack org finds no page or code that offers FoundationDB 7.1.

Release note

fix(foundationdb-operator)!: the FoundationDB operator now starts on arm64. It no longer ships the 7.1 client, because no arm64 build of it exists, so it cannot manage or upgrade a FoundationDB cluster on 7.1.x. Upgrade such clusters to 7.3 before installing this release.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Updates
    • The FoundationDB operator chart no longer includes the 7.1 init-container configuration. Its remaining configured init-container versions are 7.3 and 7.4.
    • The chart update process applies the same version change to copied chart values.
    • Image validation now checks for exactly two init containers, using versions 7.3.63 and 7.4.1.

Every foundationdb/fdb-kubernetes-monitor 7.1.x tag is a single amd64
image, so on arm64 the operator's 7.1 init container fails with exec
format error and the operator pod never starts. No multi-arch 7.1
monitor exists to bump to, and upstream already swaps its own 7.1
client for 7.3 when building the operator for arm64.

The vendoring recipe now deletes the 7.1 entry from the upstream chart
values, and the committed chart matches its output. A null override in
the package values was rejected: Helm 4.2 and later ignore a null the
parent chart sets for a subchart key when no user-supplied values reach
that subchart (helm/helm#32132), and the platform passes this package
none. helm-unittest renders with Helm 3, so the override would stop
working on a Flux bump without any test noticing.

The app defaults to 7.3.63, which keeps its init container, as does
7.4.

BREAKING CHANGE: the operator no longer carries the 7.1 fdbcli and
client library, so it can neither manage nor upgrade a FoundationDB
cluster pinned to a 7.1.x version. Upgrade such clusters to 7.3 before
installing this release.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The FoundationDB operator chart no longer configures the 7.1 init-container image. The update target removes the 7.1 values entry, and the pinned-image test checks for exactly two init containers using versions 7.3.63 and 7.4.1.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9eb3a

Clusters still configured for 7.1.x may lose management, backup, restore, and upgrade operations after this release. Resolve the unsupported-version path before merging; affected users otherwise need to upgrade their clusters first.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — packages/system (library) was modified; 3 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in packages/system/foundationdb-operator/Makefile: After removing bundled subcharts, update deletes .initContainers."7.1" from the chart values. The added comments describe the amd64-only image and the upstream arm64 behavior, and note that a null value would not suffice when no user-supplied values reach the subchart.
  • observed — Modified behavior in packages/system/foundationdb-operator/charts/fdb-operator/values.yaml: The 7.1 init-container image entry, including its repository, tag, and pull policy, was removed.
  • observed — Modified behavior in packages/system/foundationdb-operator/tests/fdb-operator_test.yaml: The test replaces checks for three init-container images—including 7.1.67—with a requirement for exactly two init containers, pinned to 7.3.63 and 7.4.1.

FoundationDB fdb-kubernetes-operator v2.30.0 7.1 7.3 arm64 init container supported versions

💡 Result:

For **fdb-kubernetes-operator v2.30.0**:

- **FDB version compatibility:** The operator’s 2.x compatibility floor is **FoundationDB 7.1.0+**. That makes both **7.1.x and 7.3.x** compatible at the operator level. The base operator image includes only one FDB version; using another requires the documented customization approach. [1]
- **ARM64 caveat:** Operator compatibility does **not** mean the init container is ARM64-ready. The project README says FDB container images are AMD64-only, while the ARM-based operator image is experimental. [2] **So don’t assume the standard 7.1/7.3 init-container images support ARM64**—verify that the specific image tag you use has an ARM64 manifest, or provide/build compatible custom images.
- The FoundationDB project later announced ARM64 binaries for **7.3.46+**, but that announcement initially distinguished binaries from native Docker images; it doesn’t establish ARM64 support for every v2.30.0 init-container image. [3]

**Bottom line:** 7.1 and 7.3 meet v2.30.0’s FDB version requirement, but ARM64 support depends on the actual FDB and sidecar/init images—not just the operator version. [1][2]

Do not remove the 7.1 tools while 7.1.x remains selectable.

cluster.version accepts and renders 7.1.x, and the CRD accepts it. The v2.30.0 operator resolves commands from the configured binary directory and the requested FDB minor version. This deployment no longer populates the 7.1 directory. A 7.1.x cluster can therefore fail status checks, reconciliation commands, backups, restores, or version-incompatible upgrades because the required executable is missing.

Add an explicit 7.1.x rejection or migration path, including existing clusters, or retain a 7.1-compatible tool path on supported architectures. Do not leave 7.1.x accepted without its required tools.

Reviewed statically in a hermetic clone. Confirmed this is a genuine re-vendor (byte-identical to the chart update recipe), mutation-tested the new check, and verified against the registry that FoundationDB 7.1 is amd64-only while 7.3 and 7.4 are multi-arch. LGTM. Coordination note: please align merge order with #4287, whose migration carries existing 7.1.x tenants into a version enum this change stops backing with a 7.1 client.

…leases on it (#4505)

## What this PR does

Pre-release builds now publish every image as an amd64 and arm64 index,
and a release fails if anything it ships is single-arch. Main, release
lines and pull requests keep building amd64 only. It builds on #4498,
which made every image buildable for both architectures. Part of #1961.

**This PR is on hold until everything under "Merge after" has landed.**
Merged earlier, the new gate fails the next rc on the images those PRs
fix.

### How a pre-release is built

A pre-release tag gets a second job, for arm64, next to the existing
release job. That covers `-rc.N`, `-beta.N` and `-alpha.N` tags. It runs
on the CNCF arm64 pool (`oracle-vm-24cpu-96gb-arm64`), builds the same
images with `PLATFORM=linux/arm64`, and pushes them as `<tag>-arm64`.
`prepare-release` waits for it, and if the arm64 job fails the rc fails
with it. There is no amd64-only fallback. Stable tags do not run it:
promotion copies the rc digests with `skopeo copy --multi-arch all`, so
a stable release inherits the indexes.

After the amd64 build, the stitch joins each amd64 image with its arm64
twin into one index. It lives in `hack/stitch-multiarch.sh`. Every tag
of the amd64 image moves to the index, the component-versioned ones
included. The script then rewrites the digests in the tree and
republishes the packages artifact and the installer chart pinned on
them. It reads refs through `hack/lib/image-refs.sh`, and it fails if an
old digest survives anywhere outside `charts/`.

### The gate

A new check fails the rc when a pinned digest in the tree is not an
index with both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64. It lives in
`hack/verify-multiarch.sh`. It checks first-party and third-party refs
alike. Images that are amd64 by nature go into
`hack/multiarch-allowlist`, one repository per line, each with a
mandatory reason. Today that is only the e2e sandbox. An entry that
matches nothing is reported as stale.

The static gate only sees digest-pinned refs in the tree. A tag-only
ref, an image from a vendored chart default, or one an operator starts
at runtime is invisible to it. So the rc e2e also audits every image its
nodes pulled, with the same check and the same allowlist. Neither covers
a package the e2e never installs.

### Nightly

A new nightly workflow builds main for arm64. It keeps the arm64 build
cache warm, since the rc job only reads it. It also prints the
single-arch refs that would block the next rc. Nothing it builds is
published.

### Smaller changes

- `CACHE_TAG` in `hack/common-envs.mk` moves the default cache ref, so
the arm64 build keeps a cache of its own.
- `MATRIX_ARCH=arm64` makes `hack/build-matrix.sh` leave out the
amd64-only e2e sandbox.
- The kamaji provider image is pushed under the build's `IMAGE_TAG` like
every other image. Its Makefile set `IMAGE_TAG` itself, so concurrent
builds overwrote each other's component tag. Closes #4503.
- `hack/nightly-mirror.sh` verifies a copy against the raw manifest
digest. Plain `skopeo inspect` resolves an index to one platform's
child.
- matchbox is rebuilt for both platforms in the amd64 release job. The
arm64 leg skips the talos package, so there is no arm64 half to stitch,
and its Dockerfile only copies files, so no QEMU is needed. Releases
then network-boot arm64 machines too. Closes #4524.

The stitch also rewrites the kamaji ref inside `files/components.gz`,
recompressed with `gzip -n` so the bytes are reproducible, so the kamaji
control-plane provider ships multi-arch too. keda and kuberture now name
the repository next to their pinned digest, so the gate can resolve
them; their rendered manifests do not change.

### Merge after

- #4552 builds the Talos installer, matchbox, Harbor and the Velero
KubeVirt plugin for arm64, and adds flux-plunger, keycloak-operator,
kilo and migration-controller to the root `build:` list. It replaces
#4507, #4515, #4525 and #4528.
- #4549 moves ingress-nginx, cozy-proxy, cozystack-scheduler and
keycloak-kms-proxy to their multi-arch releases, which are already
published.

The rest of the stack is merged: #4485, #4498, #4512, #4517, #4521 and
#4522 here, and the multi-arch PRs in
ingress-nginx-with-protobuf-exporter, cozy-proxy, cozystack-scheduler
and keycloak-kms-proxy.

### Verification

The bats suites pass: stitch, verify-multiarch, build-matrix,
common-envs, nightly-mirror and the release contracts. The first three
also pass under `hack/cozytest.sh` with dash. Each new test was red
before its implementation, and the verify-multiarch and stitch tests
each have a mutation that turns them red. I ran `verify-multiarch
--report` against main. It lists the first-party refs the stitch will
fix, plus the third-party and special cases above. The workflows have
not run yet. The arm64 job's tools and duration, the stitch against real
registries, and the audit are checked for the first time on the nightly
and on the next rc.

Nothing under `hack/` is moved or renamed, and no make target changes
its default behaviour: `CACHE_TAG` and `MATRIX_ARCH` are opt-in. The
satellite repositories listed under "Merge after" are prerequisites, not
follow-ups this change forces on them.

### Release note

```release-note
ci(release): pre-release builds publish every image as an amd64 and arm64 multi-arch index, and a release fails if any image it ships or pulls in e2e lacks either architecture. Stable releases inherit the indexes through promotion.
```

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Release candidates now build amd64 and arm64 images in parallel and
combine eligible images into verified multi-architecture indexes before
publication.
* A nightly arm64 image build is available for testing and supplies a
build cache for release-candidate builds.
* **Bug Fixes**
* End-to-end checks audit whether pulled images support both
architectures. Audit failures block prerelease checks, while stable
releases continue with a warning.
* End-to-end test artifacts now include collected image references and
multi-architecture audit results.
* **Documentation**
* Updated release and image guidance covers multi-architecture builds,
verification checks, and troubleshooting, including arm64 build and
stitching failures.
