[Bug] Temporal Helm Deployment Constraints Violations on GKE Autopilot

[LukaGiorgadze]

What are you really trying to do?

I'm attempting to deploy Temporal on a GKE Autopilot cluster using Helm.

Describe the bug

When deploying Temporal on a GKE Autopilot cluster using Helm, I encounter constraints violations due to the configuration that Autopilot does not allow. This includes issues with hostNetwork, hostPID, hostPath, and privileged containers.

The violations details provided by the Helm installation failure are as follows:

• Enabling hostNetwork and hostPID are not allowed in Autopilot.
• Container node-exporter specifies host ports [9100], which are disallowed in Autopilot.
• Several hostPath volume configurations are used that are not allowed in Autopilot. Allowed path prefixes for hostPath volumes in Autopilot are [/var/log/].
• Container configure-sysctl is privileged, which is not allowed in Autopilot.

Minimal Reproduction

• Create a GKE Autopilot cluster.
• Use the Helm command to install Temporal: helm install temporaltest . --timeout 1200s
• Observe the mentioned constraint violations.

Environment/Versions

• OS and processor: M2 Mac
• Temporal Version: 0.28.0
• GKE Autopilot
