Description
What would you like to be added (User Story)?
Currently, Cluster API's KubeadmControlPlane (KCP) supports a remediationStrategy.maxretry field to control the number of times remediation is attempted before giving up. However, MachineDeployment lacks a similar capability.
Detailed Description
Proposal: Introduce a maxRetry field under MachineDeployment.spec.strategy.remediation that integrates with MachineHealthCheck. This field would define the maximum number of remediation attempts allowed for unhealthy machines associated with a MachineDeployment.
Use Case: In environments where aggressive or infinite remediation can lead to cascading failures or unnecessary resource churn, a retry limit helps provide guardrails for self-healing behaviour. Once maxRetry is reached, remediation would stop, and external signals (e.g., human intervention or alerting) can be relied upon.
Benefits:
- Parity with KubeadmControlPlane's remediationStrategy.maxRetry.
- Safer self-healing with better operational control.
- Prevents runaway remediation loops in edge scenarios.
