Summary

Closes #608.

This adds an hpa-maximum-replicas check that flags HorizontalPodAutoscaler objects whose maxReplicas is allowed to climb past a configured ceiling. It works the same way as hpa-minimum-replicas, just from the other side, so the two can be paired to keep a HorizontalPodAutoscaler inside a replica range.

I kept it as a separate template instead of folding a max param into the existing one, so the minimum check keeps behaving exactly as before (the backward compatibility point raised in the issue thread). The new check is not enabled by default, since a reasonable ceiling depends on the cluster.

It covers the standard autoscaling versions plus KEDA ScaledObjects (via the existing GetHPAMaxReplicas helper), and it comes with unit tests, an e2e test and generated docs, matching how the minimum check is wired up.

Adds a template and built-in check that flags HorizontalPodAutoscaler
objects allowed to scale beyond a configured maxReplicas. It mirrors the
existing hpa-minimum-replicas check and leaves that check untouched, so it
can be combined with it to enforce a replica range.

Closes stackrox#608

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an hpa-maximum-replicas check for Kubernetes HorizontalPodAutoscalers and supported KEDA scaling resources.
    • Reports a diagnostic when the configured maximum replica limit is exceeded.
    • Added configurable maximum replica thresholds and remediation guidance.
    • Registered the check in the standard collection of available checks.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage across supported autoscaling API versions.
    • Added end-to-end validation for both passing and failing configurations.

Walkthrough

Adds the hpa-maximum-replicas check with configurable limits, support for multiple HPA API versions and KEDA ScaledObject, built-in registration, diagnostics, unit tests, and an end-to-end fixture.

Changes

HPA maximum replicas

Layer / File(s) Summary
Replica extraction and parameter contract
pkg/templates/hpamaxreplicas/internal/params/*, pkg/extract/hpa_spec.go
Adds the MaxReplicas parameter and extracts maximum replicas from supported HPA versions and KEDA ScaledObject resources.
Check registration and diagnostics
pkg/templates/hpamaxreplicas/template.go, pkg/builtinchecks/yamls/hpa-maximum-replicas.yaml, pkg/templates/all/all.go
Registers the check, applies the configured threshold, emits diagnostics for excessive values, and sets the default limit to 100.
Version and end-to-end validation
pkg/templates/hpamaxreplicas/template_test.go, tests/checks/hpa-maximum-replicas.yml, e2etests/bats-tests.sh
Tests supported API versions, validates exceeding and matching limits, and verifies one end-to-end report.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8765b

The new check currently skips KEDA ScaledObjects despite claiming to support them, leaving those resources unvalidated. Merge should wait until KEDA resources are included or the supported-resource claim is narrowed.

Include KEDA ScaledObject in both object-kind filters.

pkg/extract/hpa_spec.go supports *kedaV1Alpha1.ScaledObject, but these filters admit only HorizontalPodAutoscaler. KEDA resources are filtered before HPAMaxReplicas runs, so the new check does not support KEDA as stated.

  • pkg/templates/hpamaxreplicas/template.go#L26-L28: add objectkinds.ScaledObject to SupportedObjectKinds.
  • pkg/builtinchecks/yamls/hpa-maximum-replicas.yaml#L5-L7: add ScaledObject to scope.objectKinds.
