Carvel Bugs and Features Relevant to TCE

[seemiller]

This ticket holds references to all the relevant Carvel toolset issues that have an impact on TCE.

Enabling us to keep track in a centralized location.

• **Explore:** Cannot delete App when reconciliation is stuck carvel-dev/kapp-controller#69
  • related: App gets stuck deleting if service account is not created carvel-dev/kapp-controller#114
  • More general timeout issue when trying to delete an app
• **Explore:** From commandline, provide ability to capture output and wait for a reconciliation that is in progress carvel-dev/kapp-controller#56
  • Deploying TCE add-ons feels like an opaque box. Would be nice to see progress of deployment synchronously.
• Improve Visibility of App Deployment Progress carvel-dev/kapp-controller#110
  • When TCE add-on reconciliation fails, it is difficult to understand the when, where and why of the problem.
• [fetch] add caching for pulling images carvel-dev/kapp-controller#85
  • TCE add-ons (imgpkg bundles) show being pulled from their registry many times, potentially causing rate limiting issues.
• Package Authors should be able to provide openAPI schema for configurations in Package CR carvel-dev/kapp-controller#104
  • For our tooling, we need a way for users to discover what they can configure on their packages. This is a central feature that will enable tooling to be built on top of it.
• Reference (source) PackageRepository in Package CR carvel-dev/kapp-controller#124
  • When TCE tooling is built around Package APIs, having the source packagerepository written in will enable us to return better results to clients.
• Package repository doesnt have a status field carvel-dev/kapp-controller#109
  • Package repository doesn't have a status field
• Imgpkg fails to pull a bundle if a registry does not support the HEAD call. carvel-dev/imgpkg#131
  • imgpkgBundles cannot be pulled from Harbor - sometimes, especially if you're on AWS

Done

• kapp should double check that k8s api returns labeled resources carvel-dev/kapp#160
  • TCE add-ons deletions hang after the app's resources have been deleted.

We also came across this "Support dockerconfigjson secrets for credentials".

Might be good to review this again since it's been some time. I think some of these are likely addressed by now.

I'm going to close this issue per our new triage process.

Going forward we should use labeling on individual issues to aggregate things impacting TCE relative to umbrella issues.
