Description Abu Kashem 2020-04-14 19:50:42 UTC
Description of problem:
In OpenShift 4.4, the default SCCs are managed by CVO. This means any changes to it are stomped by CVO.

We have customers who change the default SCCs for their workload. when a cluster upgrades from 4.3 -> 4.4, user's changes to the default SCCs will be stomped by CVO and customer workload will face outages consequently.
  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OpenShift 4.4


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install OpenShift 4.3

2. Change the default SCC 
    oc patch scc privileged --type json -p '[{"op": "add", "path": "/users/-", "value": "kubeadmin"}]'
    oc patch scc anyuid --type json -p '[{"op": "add", "path": "/users/-", "value": "kubeadmin"}]'

3. do a 4.3 -> 4.4 upgrade


Actual results:
Changes to the default SCCs will be lost as a result of the upgrade.

Expected results:
The upgrade should retain the changes made by the user

Comment 1 Abu Kashem 2020-04-16 16:45:12 UTC
Waiting for the PR in master - https://github.com/openshift/cluster-kube-apiserver-operator/pull/831 to merge. Then it will be cherry-picked into 4.4.

Comment 4 Abu Kashem 2020-04-17 17:41:59 UTC
once the back port to 4.4 https://github.com/openshift/cluster-kube-apiserver-operator/pull/836 merges I will revert it to ON_QA. I did not know of any other way to convince CI to allow my PR to merge.

Comment 5 Abu Kashem 2020-04-17 19:57:29 UTC
My PR has merged, reverting it back to ON_QA.
