Special Notes for Your Reviewer

I want to enable the serviceMonitor option when installing Cilium CNI as custom_cni. However, I couldn't find a way to deploy the ServiceMonitor CRD prior to CNI installation. So I want to add a feature to deploy the prerequisite resources that should be deployed before the CNI during the custom_cni deployment process.

Additionally, I have prepared a new PR to enable pre-deployment of Ansible Roles if the pre-deployment feature for resources is merged in any form (custom_cni, generic, ...). This was necessary because while deploying Cilium CNI, I encountered an issue where the deployment of hubble-relay failed due to CoreDNS not being active when the peer service was enabled on cilium-agent. This PR aims to address that problem.

Does this PR Introduce a User-Facing Change?

No, this new method is managed by new variable custom_cni_preflight_templates.

Add preflight network resource support for custom_cni: `custom_cni_preflight_templates`

Hi @HoKim98. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

is the namespace also set to kube-system in other cni/network plugin deployments?

[HoKim98]

Hardcoding the namespace is definitely not appropriate. Therefore, I have modified and rebased the code to allow setting the namespace in the ".namespace" format! However, generally, CNIs are deployed in the kube-system namespace. Thus, if the namespace is not specified, I have adjusted it to use kube-system as the default.

I think it's a nice feature, but I don't think it needs to be limited to custom_cni?

[HoKim98]

I agree that using the CNI deployment method managed by Kubespray, as in the case of custom_cni, would be convenient for users. However, I am concerned that this might prevent the development of pre-deployment features that many might need, by providing a new workaround for users to solve issues themselves instead of reporting them to the community. If this concern of mine is unfounded (or not something I should worry about), I am willing to modify the code to apply it to all CNIs!
