Purpose

Closes openchoreo/openchoreo#4619. Six real gaps found deploying ai-llm-routing/ai-mcp-federation against a real ai-agent (SandboxTemplate-shaped) workload with a real AWS Bedrock backend and a plain-HTTP in-cluster LiteLLM proxy — every fix here was root-caused and confirmed working live, not just inferred from reading the code. Full detail in openchoreo/openchoreo#4619.

Approach

  • ai-llm-routing-trait.yaml:
    • Add a native bedrock provider block (AWS SigV4 auth via policies.auth.aws.secretRef, a different shape from every other provider's Bearer token) — AgentgatewayBackend already supports this natively, the trait just never exposed it.
    • Add openaiCompatible.tls (default true, preserving existing behavior) so the TLS AgentgatewayPolicy is conditional instead of unconditional — it was breaking any plain-HTTP in-cluster target with a confusing InvalidContentType error instead of an obvious TLS error.
    • Inject OPENAI_API_KEY="managed-by-gateway" — the OpenAI SDK requires a non-empty key to construct a client even though auth is entirely gateway-side.
    • OPENAI_BASE_URL now ends in /v1, matching agentgateway's own documented /v1/chat/completions expectation — every request 404'd without it, for any provider, so this isn't a behavior change for anyone with a genuinely working deployment.
    • Clarify in the file header and README that spec.ai.groups is priority/failover, not per-request model-based routing.
  • Both traits: add a second patches entry targeting extensions.agents.x-k8s.io/v1alpha1 SandboxTemplate (spec.podTemplate.spec) alongside the existing apps/v1 Deployment patch — kubernetes-sigs/agent-sandbox's own ai-agent ClusterComponentType renders as SandboxTemplate, so the Deployment-only patch was silently no-op'ing (dropped, not rejected) for that workload type. Purely additive — has no effect on Deployment-based consumers.
  • README.md: updated parameter tables, injected-env-vars table, and prose to match, including the failover-not-routing correction.

Closes openchoreo/openchoreo#4619

Checklist

  • All six fixes proven working live against a real cluster (OpenChoreo v1.2.3, agentgateway v1.1.0) — real LLM completions from both a plain-HTTP in-cluster LiteLLM proxy and AWS Bedrock, real MCP tool discovery+invocation against a live MCP server
  • No automated test suite exists for this module's trait YAML as far as we could find — happy to add one if there's a preferred format/harness

Remarks

Every new capability is gated to be a no-op when unused: bedrock.enabled defaults false (all its resources/validations are conditioned on it), openaiCompatible.tls defaults true (the existing behavior), and the SandboxTemplate patch targets a distinct resource kind that never touches Deployment-based consumers. The /v1 and OPENAI_API_KEY fixes are unconditional because they were pure bugs, not optional behavior — see PR discussion if useful.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The LLM routing trait adds AWS Bedrock, priority-based provider failover, conditional TLS, and workload environment injection. Documentation reflects the /v1 endpoint and component-header forwarding. The MCP federation trait also patches SandboxTemplate workloads.

Changes

LLM routing and provider configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider schema and failover resources
ai-gateway-agentgateway/ai-llm-routing-trait.yaml, ai-gateway-agentgateway/README.md
The trait adds Bedrock configuration, OpenAI-compatible TLS control, validation, Vault credential mapping, and backend provider groups. Documentation describes priority-based failover.
Gateway endpoint and workload environment injection
ai-gateway-agentgateway/ai-llm-routing-trait.yaml, ai-gateway-agentgateway/README.md
The gateway uses the /v1 base URL and injects OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENAI_BASE_URL, and X_OPENCHOREO_COMPONENT guidance for Deployments and SandboxTemplates.

MCP workload patching

Layer / File(s) Summary
SandboxTemplate gateway URL injection
ai-gateway-agentgateway/ai-mcp-federation-trait.yaml
The trait injects MCP_GATEWAY_URL into SandboxTemplate pod templates in addition to Deployment workloads.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5fdf0

The PR adds Bedrock support, TLS selection, and SandboxTemplate integration, but priority failover may not move traffic away from unhealthy providers without backend health eviction, potentially reducing availability during provider failures; the linked sample also still describes model-based selection. Merge should wait for the failover behavior to be fixed or explicitly accepted and the sample documentation aligned.

385-415: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add a backend health policy for provider failover.

The priority groups define fallback order only. Without an AgentgatewayPolicy with backend.health, unhealthy providers are not evicted, so standby groups cannot receive failover traffic. Add a policy targeting the generated AgentgatewayBackend with an unhealthyCondition for 5xx and 429 responses, plus eviction.duration and eviction.consecutiveFailures.

…gs, SandboxTemplate patches

Fixes six real gaps found deploying ai-llm-routing/ai-mcp-federation
against a real ai-agent (SandboxTemplate) workload with a real AWS
Bedrock backend, all confirmed live:

- ai-llm-routing: add a native bedrock provider block (AWS SigV4 auth
  via policies.auth.aws.secretRef, a different shape from every other
  provider's Bearer token) -- the underlying AgentgatewayBackend CRD
  already supports this, the trait just never exposed it.
- ai-llm-routing: openaiCompatible.tls (default true) makes the TLS
  AgentgatewayPolicy conditional -- it was unconditional, which breaks
  any plain-HTTP in-cluster target (produces a TLS/plaintext protocol
  mismatch, not an obvious TLS error).
- ai-llm-routing: inject OPENAI_API_KEY="managed-by-gateway" -- the
  OpenAI SDK requires a non-empty key to construct a client even
  though auth is entirely gateway-side.
- ai-llm-routing: OPENAI_BASE_URL now ends in /v1, matching
  agentgateway's own documented expectation
  (/v1/chat/completions) -- every request 404'd without it.
- Both traits: add a second patch block targeting
  extensions.agents.x-k8s.io/v1alpha1 SandboxTemplate
  (spec.podTemplate.spec) alongside the existing apps/v1 Deployment
  patch -- kubernetes-sigs/agent-sandbox's own ai-agent
  ClusterComponentType renders as SandboxTemplate, so the
  Deployment-only patch was silently no-op'ing (dropped, not
  rejected) for that workload type.
- README: clarify that spec.ai.groups is priority/failover, not
  per-request model-based routing -- the previous wording ("Agent
  Gateway reads model field in request body... routes to
  corresponding backend") is what led us to this whole investigation
  in the first place.

Addresses CodeRabbit review comment on PR openchoreo#533 — the llm-routing
sample's comments still described request model field as selecting
the provider; updated to describe priority failover, matching the
trait/README fix already in this PR.
