Adds a configurable lifecycle block to the kafka-ui container, defaulting to a 5 second preStop sleep.

Without it, a terminating pod can still receive traffic: kubelet sends SIGTERM at the same moment the endpoint removal propagates to kube-proxy and ingress controllers, so in-flight requests hit a socket that is already closing. The sleep gives that propagation time to finish before the app shuts down.

  • values.yaml — new lifecycle value with the default preStop hook
  • templates/deployment.yaml — renders it on the main container via with, so lifecycle: {} omits the block entirely
  • CONFIGURATION.md — parameter row

exec: ["/bin/sh", "-c", "sleep 5"] is used rather than the native preStop.sleep handler because the chart declares no kubeVersion floor and PodLifecycleSleepAction only reached GA in 1.32. Users on newer clusters can switch with --set lifecycle.preStop.exec=null --set lifecycle.preStop.sleep.seconds=5; the exec must be unset first since Helm deep-merges maps and two handlers in one preStop is rejected by the API. This is noted in a comment above the value.

Verified with helm lint and helm template for the default, the disabled (lifecycle=null) and the native-sleep cases.

Note: I left Chart.yaml at 1.6.5 since the version bump looks like a maintainer step, so the CI version check will fail until it is bumped — happy to add it here if you would prefer.

AI Summary

The issue addresses a problem where terminating Kafka UI pods may still receive traffic because the SIGTERM signal and endpoint removal propagation happen simultaneously, causing in-flight requests to hit a closing socket. The proposed solution adds a configurable lifecycle block with a default 5-second preStop sleep to ensure proper graceful shutdown. The implementation uses an exec command (sleep 5) instead of the native preStop.sleep handler to maintain compatibility with older Kubernetes versions, with an option to switch to the native handler for newer clusters. The changes are verified with Helm linting and templating.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Kafka-UI Helm chart adds a configurable container lifecycle block. The default configuration runs a 5-second preStop sleep command. The Deployment template renders the block when configured, and the chart documentation describes the new setting.

Changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure and render container lifecycle hooks
charts/kafka-ui/values.yaml, charts/kafka-ui/templates/deployment.yaml, charts/kafka-ui/CONFIGURATION.md
The chart adds a default 5-second preStop command, renders configured lifecycle values in the main container, and documents the lifecycle setting.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 96ed7

This chart now adds a five-second shutdown delay by default, but it needs a chart version bump to pass release validation. Documentation should also accurately describe the enabled default and how to disable it so operators can reliably control shutdown behavior.

Poem

A rabbit found a hook in the chart
Five seconds before pods depart
The endpoints drain
Through the shutdown refrain
While Helm keeps each value smart.

Document the effective default for lifecycle.

charts/kafka-ui/values.yaml enables lifecycle.preStop.exec.command by default, but this row reports the value as {}. The documentation contradicts the chart's rendered default. Show the nested default value, or label {} as the configuration shape instead of the effective value.

Bump the chart version before merging.

This change adds chart configuration and changes the rendered workload, but charts/kafka-ui/Chart.yaml remains at 1.6.5. The repository version-check CI will reject the PR until the chart version is incremented.
