Creating secrets is useful for CSI drivers like ceph-csi which have to
be configured via secrets.
While at it, the UniqueName method gets replaced with
MetaNamespaceKeyFunc which does the same thing (at least as long as
non-namespaced items don't have a redundant namespace set) and the
factory types aren't exported anymore (not necessary).
As discussing on #68905
some tests of test/e2e/common/host_path.go are covered with
test/e2e/storage/testsuites/subpath.go
So we don't need to keep them in test/e2e/common/host_path.go
anymore for the maintenance.
Tests for scaling down based on external metric are flaky. I think this
is because they:
- Start with 2 replicas,
- Export metric value == 1/2 target,
- Expect scale down to 1.
Since the expected recommendation is exactly 1 it might flake (and with
scale down stabilization any recommendations higher than 1 will
persist).
Change expected value of the metric so recommended size will be lower
than 1. This should make those tests less flaky.
The detailed dumps of original and patched item content was useful
while developing the feature, but is less relevant now and too
verbose. It might be relevant again, so it's left in the code as
comments.
What gets logged now is just a single-line "creating" resp. "deleting"
message with the type of the item and its unique name.
This also enhances up some other aspects of the original logging:
- the namespace is included for item types that are namespaced
- the "deleting" message no longer gets replicated in each factory
method
Fixes: #70448
- Scale down based on custom metric was flaking. Increase target value
of the metric.
- Scale down based on CPU was flaking during stabilization. Increase
tolerance of stabilization (caused by resource consumer using more CPU
than requested).
Debugging the CSI driver tests depends a lot on the output of the CSI
sidecar containers and the CSI driver, but that information was not
captured automatically and thus unavailable after a test run. This is
particularly bad when running in a remote CI system, but also manually
watching the cluster during a test was cumbersome.
Now pod events and log messages get copied to the test's output at the
time that they happen (when running without report directory) or get
written to individual log files (when running with report directory in
the CI).
