CatalogSource pods not managed via Kubernetes controller

[pamelachristie]

Bug Report

The CatalogSource pod blocks kubectl drain commands as it is not managed by a Kubernetes controller.

What did you do?
Ran kubectl drain <NODE> on a cluster with a CatalogSource pod present.

What did you expect to see?
The kubectl drain should have proceeded without the pod causing a failure

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances?

cannot delete Pods not managed by ReplicationController, ReplicaSet, Job, DaemonSet or StatefulSet (use --force to override): ibm-system/addon-catalog-source-f2wnd

This result is due to the pod being not being managed by a Kubernetes controller.

Environment

• operator-lifecycle-manager version:
  0.14.1

• Kubernetes version information:
  1.16

• Kubernetes cluster kind:
  IBM Cloud

Possible Solution
Create a deployment or some other kind of Kubernetes controller to manage the pod rather than just the CatalogSource custom resource.

We've run into this too.

@ecordell I think this needs a higher priority as it's a valid scenario for both upstream and RH.

This is still valid bug

@kramvan1 we run into the same problem. As we need to replace Ubuntu 18 nodes with Ubuntu 16. Is there any outlook for this problem as this blocks us from going forward. Don't won't to drop that node when it is not backed up by ReplicaSet!

@mhaideibm I think we need to get this on the roadmap for OLM. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zuv-BoNFSwj10_zXPfaS9LWUQUCak2c8l48d0-AhpBw/edit#heading=h.8ngolbigvi7q
