Every tenant worker VM imports the same Talos raw image from the Image Factory over HTTP, once per worker: a 20-worker cluster fetches the identical ~4.15 GiB artifact 20 times, and each fetch is a live dependency on the Factory at exactly the moment a node joins. packages/system/kubernetes-worker-image is a new opt-in catalog that holds one golden DataVolume per (schematicID, version) in cozy-public, named talos-worker-<schematicID>-<version>. A worker pool opts in with osImage.builtin on its own KubernetesNodes resource, and its disk-system DataVolume then carries source.pvc pointing at that golden, so CDI performs a storage-layer CSI clone instead of an HTTP import -- one import per flavor, shared by every worker of every tenant. Confirmed on a LINSTOR-backed cluster: the worker disk is a CSI clone plus a resize, with no host-assisted upload pod. Both halves are off unless asked for. The catalog is registered through the platform's optional-package helper and disabled by default, so a cluster that does not enable it creates no golden and keeps importing over HTTP. The disk source is derived entirely from osImage, which is absent by default, so a pool that does not set it renders byte-identical to the pre-feature chart and adopting the feature never rolls existing workers. Editing osImage on an existing pool re-images that pool, as changing any other image reference does. What the render refuses, rather than degrading into a silent fallback: - A pool whose golden has no catalog entry, or whose golden terminally failed to import. A golden that is merely mid-import is not an error; CDI holds the worker disk until the source populates. - A pool whose StorageClass differs from its golden's. CDI cannot CSI-clone across classes and falls back to a host-assisted copy over the pod network, which is the transfer this feature exists to remove. An empty class on either side means the cluster default and is resolved before the comparison, and a pool that has already cloned reads its class from its own bound PVC rather than from today's default -- the golden's side is frozen the same way, and an admin moving storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class must not fail the release of a pool whose disks are all on the right class. That resolved class is then written onto the worker disk, so the disk binds where the guard checked instead of on whatever the default has become by then -- reading one class and binding another is how a pool at an empty storageClass passed the comparison and still took the host-assisted copy. The HTTP path leaves an empty class to the cluster as before, which is what keeps its render, and the KubevirtMachineTemplate hash named after it, byte-identical. - A diskSize below the golden's storage size, which a clone target cannot be. - A schematicID that is not a plain lowercase alphanumeric identifier, or a version that is not a vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH release. Both are interpolated into a DataVolume name and an image URL, and values.schema.json types them as bare strings, so a malformed one otherwise reaches the render. The catalog applies the same patterns, since both sides build the same name from the same fields. - An images[] entry edited after its golden exists. A DataVolume spec cannot be patched in place, so the message names the entry and the supported move -- a new (schematicID, version) -- instead of leaving the API server to reject the patch on the next upgrade. Goldens carry helm.sh/resource-policy: keep, so dropping an entry stops managing a golden rather than deleting it: a missing golden aborts the whole Kubernetes HelmRelease of every tenant pinned to it, not just the disk. Each cloned worker disk annotates the golden it came from and the pool that owns it, so "does anything still clone this?" is answerable before a manual delete instead of after. A builtin pool needs a StorageClass whose volumes are reachable from any node, in practice a replicated/DRBD one. The golden in cozy-public has no consumer and binds as soon as it imports, wherever CDI's importer landed, while a worker disk binds where its VM is scheduled, and nothing here arranges for those to be the same node. The platform ships cloneStrategyOverride: csi-clone, which rules out the host-assisted strategy that would cross nodes. What a node-pinned class does in that situation is not measured, so values.yaml states the requirement and not a symptom. ComputePlane pools forward only the per-pool shape fields, and osImage is excluded there by name: the worker OS image, its Talos installer and its Image Factory are operator decisions about the platform's own images.
