CTO 3b4146de65 Add weekly rolling OS-update procedure for k3s nodes (DEV-462)
- infrastructure/OS_UPDATE_PROCEDURE.md: agent-facing rolling update
  procedure (drain -> apt -> reboot -> verify -> uncordon -> health ->
  next). Explicit MUST NOT list around k3s config, PVs, and manifests.
- infrastructure/OS_UPDATE_ROUTINE.md: describes the weekly Paperclip
  routine (Sun 03:00 Europe/Berlin) that fires this procedure.
- infrastructure/scripts/os-update/: cluster-health.sh, update-node.sh,
  os-update.sh, README. Enforces the same guardrails in code:
  workers-first-then-CP, one node at a time, no --force drains, halts on
  reboot/kubelet/health failure, never touches k3s config.

OS Update Automation

Scripts that implement the weekly rolling Ubuntu OS-update procedure.

Authoritative doc: ../../OS_UPDATE_PROCEDURE.md — read it first. The scripts here mirror that procedure step-for-step.

Files

Script Purpose
cluster-health.sh Non-zero if any node is not Ready, any pod is not Running/Ready, or any Deployment/StatefulSet is below its desired replica count. Used at preflight and after each node.
update-node.sh <node> Drain, apt-update, reboot-if-required, wait for Ready, uncordon, post-node health check. Retriable per-node.
os-update.sh Full cycle runner: preflight → etcd snapshot → ordered per-node loop → finalization + apt history digest.

Order of operations (encoded in os-update.sh)

  1. Workers with no stateful affinity concerns first.
  2. fsn1 workers (potential Stalwart hosts) last among workers — see stalwart-datacenter-affinity note.
  3. k3s-cp-1 last (single control plane).
  4. One node at a time. Never in parallel.

Guardrails the scripts enforce

  • Preflight cluster health failure → refuse to start.
  • Drain with a PDB conflict → uncordon and mark the node SKIPPED_DRAIN_FAILED, never --force.
  • Node reboot fails to come back within timeout → hard stop, escalate. Do NOT rebuild the node or touch k3s config.
  • kubelet doesn't return Ready → hard stop, escalate. Do NOT touch k3s config.
  • Post-node cluster health check red → hard stop, do not proceed to the next node.
  • Absolute rule: no k3s config, no manifests, no PVs, no service files touched — apt/dpkg only.

Typical invocations

# Dry-run: print the ordered plan, touch nothing.
./os-update.sh --dry-run

# Full cycle (weekly, triggered by the Paperclip routine).
./os-update.sh

# Retry a single node (after fixing a manual issue).
./update-node.sh k3s-worker-3

# Restart a partial cycle from a specific node onward.
./os-update.sh --start-from k3s-worker-4

Logs land in /tmp/os-update-<UTC-timestamp>/ on the machine that ran the cycle.
