How to upgrade the Kyverno Policy Reporter Package chart📜

Checkout the branch that renovate created. This branch will have the image tag updates and typically some other necessary version changes that you will want. You can either work off of this branch or branch off of it.
Find the latest upstream chart version that corresponds to the new image version. Typically check the appVersion here and find the newest tag where this matches the image tag. Git tags are in the format policy-reporter-x.y.z.
Update the chart via kpt, using the version you just found. You should be able to run kpt pkg update chart@<version> --strategy alpha-git-patch (ex: kpt pkg update chart@policy-reporter-2.11.0 --strategy alpha-git-patch). NOTE: If you feel confident that all BB changes are captured, you can run --strategy force-delete-replace since it is the safest to ensure we get all upstream changes.
Follow the section below for modifications from upstream to restore all of the Big Bang specific changes.
Validate versioning for Chart.yaml (this generally should be complete between renovate + restoring the modifications). appVersion should equal the new image version, version should be the upstream version with -bb.0 appended.
Add a changelog entry for the new chart version. At minimum mention the new upstream chart version and new image version(s).
Update the readme following the instructions from gluon.
Push up all changes and open an MR (or use the one opened by Renovate). Validate the pipeline passes, then proceed to the testing section. Adjust CI tests if needed based on package changes.

Addition of values for networkPolicies, openshift, istio, and bbtests

{{- if .Values.serviceMonitor.scheme }}
scheme: {{ .Values.serviceMonitor.scheme }}
{{- end }}
{{- if .Values.serviceMonitor.tlsConfig }}
tlsConfig:
    {{- toYaml .Values.serviceMonitor.tlsConfig | nindent 8 }}
{{- end }}

Deploy kyvernoReporter as part of Big Bang📜

Create a k8s dev environment. One option is to use the Big Bang k3d-dev.sh with no arguments which will give you the default configuration. The following steps assume you are using the script.
Follow the instructions at the end of the script to connect to the k8s cluster and install flux.

Deploy kyvernoReporter with these dev values overrides. Core apps are disabled for quick deployment.

kyvernoReporter:
  enabled: true
  sourceType: "git"
  git:
    repo: https://repo1.dso.mil/big-bang/product/packages/kyverno-reporter.git
    path: chart
    tag: null
    branch: "replace-me-with-your-branch-name"

A more robust option is to deploy Big Bang with Istio, Monitoring, Kyverno, and KyvernoPolicies enabled such as:

istioOperator:
  enabled: true
istio:
  enabled: true
kyverno:
  enabled: true
kyvernoPolicies:
  enabled: true
kyvernoReporter:
  enabled: true
  git:
    repo: https://repo1.dso.mil/big-bang/product/packages/kyverno-reporter.git
    path: chart
    tag: null
    branch: "replace-me-with-your-branch-name"
monitoring:
  enabled: true

Testing new Kyverno Reporter version📜

Pipeline tests will validate all basic functionality of monitoring components (servicemonitor healthy in prometheus + dashboards show in grafana with data).

Since the pipeline does not install Istio and the package is currently not part of the umbrella chart, it is advised to deploy locally for some basic testing of Istio injection/mTLS. You can follow the below instructions to install it on top of an umbrella deployment. Follow the steps below for manual testing. For automated CI testing follow the steps in integration_testing .

Deploy the Big Bang chart with Istio, Kyverno, Kyverno Policies, and Monitoring enabled.
Create a new namespace to deploy Kyverno Reporter into with kubectl create ns kyverno-reporter.
Label the namespace for istio injection with kubectl label ns kyverno-reporter istio-injection=enabled.
Add image pull secrets for Kyverno Reporter. One of the easy ways to do this is by copying from another namespace with kubectl get secret private-registry -n=istio-system -o yaml | sed 's/namespace: .*/namespace: kyverno-reporter/' | kubectl apply -n=kyverno-reporter -f -.
Deploy Kyverno Reporter with a modified version of the test values using helm upgrade -i kyverno-reporter chart -n kyverno-reporter -f tests/test-values.yaml --set istio.enabled=true --set networkPolicies.controlPlaneCidr=$(kubectl get endpoints kubernetes -ojsonpath='{.subsets[0].addresses[0].ip}' 2>/dev/null)/32. The --set overrides here will ensure that network policies function appropriately for your deployment. Alternatively you could modify the test-values or point to a different override when you install.
Navigate to the Prometheus targets page and validate that the Kyverno Reporter servicemonitor shows up and is healthy.
Navigate to Grafana and search for polcy dashboards. Validate that 3 dashboards appear in the search and data is loaded in each. It can be helpful to deploy an additional package at this point to cause some additional policy violations/reports.
Perform any additional testing (of specific new features, specific connections, etc) as needed.
Uninstall as needed with helm uninstall kyverno-reporter -n kyverno-reporter or test changes iteratively by re-running the above helm upgrade command.

test-package-against-bb and modify test-values with the following settings:

istioOperator:
enabled: true
istio:
enabled: true
kyverno:
enabled: true
kyvernoPolicies:
enabled: true
kyvernoReporter:
enabled: true
git:
    repo: https://repo1.dso.mil/big-bang/product/packages/kyverno-reporter.git
    path: chart
    tag: null
    branch: "replace-me-with-your-branch-name"
monitoring:
enabled: true
