  • Create agent "flavor" flags (none, fips, heroku)
  • These can be used from the command line to install different pieces of the agent as needed.
  • Use the distinction to install the correct set of OSS licenses.
  • Fix license file for libpopt

Notes

Changing for heroku will invalidate the cache, but I can live with that

  • it is a smaller build than the rest, an already a distinct pipelin
  • for now, we are only using it for the packaging layers. My plan is to adopt Flagsets to be able to limit the scope of the flavor flag so that it will not reach outside of //packages/...

Testing

  • Run tests and grab the .deb files
    • datadog-agent_7.75.0~devel.git.184.f795fc1.pipeline.85441522-1_arm64.deb
    • datadog-heroku-agent_7.75.0~devel.git.184.f795fc1.pipeline.85441522-1_amd64.deb
  • unpack them both
  • diff em

This is what we expect. All the openscap pieces are not in the heroku build

The important one is popt-COPYING. Since it was removed from //deps:all_deps we would not expect it, but now it is included through the flavor specific change to //compliance:all_agent_deps.

A smaller, but targeted test also shows the inclusion of popt-COPYING.

$ bazelisk run -- //packages/install_dir:install --destdir=/tmp/xdefault
$ bazelisk run --//packages/agent:flavor=heroku -- //packages/install_dir:install --destdir=/tmp/xhero
$ diff -r /tmp/xhero/  /tmp/xdefault/
Only in /tmp/xdefault/LICENSES: popt-COPYING

Next steps

  • create //deps/openscap to being the openscap build
    • collect all scap deps under there and move them out of //deps:all_deps
    • point non-heroku compliance at //deps/openscap:all_deps instead of popt
  • try this out with the Flagsets feature.

Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

  • ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
  • ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
  • ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

  1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

  2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

  3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".

After the week of discussion, I think this is better than #44033

Wouldn't it make more sense to have this list of dependencies moved in compliance:all_agent_deps?

Having the deps in compliance is sort of temporary. That should become just rules some day, with the dependency list coming from the package, like in #44033.

The end goal is that //packages/debian/install_dir has the licenses_csv rule, with. //packages/debian:all_deps as input, and //packages/debian:agent_deb depends on //packages/debian/install_dir:all_files. //compliance will only hold rule definitions and tests for global constraints, like correctness of LICENSES-3rdparty.csv.

- Create agent "flavor" flags (none, fips, heroku)
- These can be used from the command line to install different pieces of the agent as needed.
- Use the distinction to install the correct set of OSS licenses.
- Fix license file for libpopt

Changing for heroku will invalidate the cache, but I can live with that
- it is a smaller build than the rest, an already a distinct pipeline
- for now, we are only using it for the packaging layers.  My plan is to adopt project files to be able to limit the scope of the flavor flag so that it will not reach outside of //packages/...

This is a precursor to #44033 and #44183, which add top level package targets for the distinct distribution artifacts.
At that time, the "select()"ion of all deps will happen from the top, and we won't need license generation in //compliance.
