      Description of problem

      When a MachineAutoscaler references a currently-zero-Machine MachineSet that includes spec.template.spec.taints, the autoscaler fails to deserialize that MachineSet, which causes it to fail to autoscale that MachineSet. The autoscaler's deserialization logic should be improved to avoid failing on the presence of taints.

      Version-Release number of selected component

      Reproduced on 4.14.10 and 4.16.0-ec.1. Expected to be every release going back to at least 4.12, based on code inspection.

      How reproducible

      Always.

      Steps to Reproduce

      With a launch 4.14.10 gcp Cluster Bot cluster (logs):

      $ oc adm upgrade
      Cluster version is 4.14.10
      
      Upstream: https://api.integration.openshift.com/api/upgrades_info/graph
      Channel: candidate-4.14 (available channels: candidate-4.14, candidate-4.15)
      No updates available. You may still upgrade to a specific release image with --to-image or wait for new updates to be available.
      $ oc -n openshift-machine-api get machinesets.machine.openshift.io
      NAME                                 DESIRED   CURRENT   READY   AVAILABLE   AGE
      ci-ln-s48f02k-72292-5z2hn-worker-a   1         1         1       1           29m
      ci-ln-s48f02k-72292-5z2hn-worker-b   1         1         1       1           29m
      ci-ln-s48f02k-72292-5z2hn-worker-c   1         1         1       1           29m
      ci-ln-s48f02k-72292-5z2hn-worker-f   0         0                             29m
      

      Pick that set with 0 nodes. They don't come with taints by default:

      $ oc -n openshift-machine-api get -o json machineset.machine.openshift.io ci-ln-s48f02k-72292-5z2hn-worker-f | jq '.spec.template.spec.taints'
      null
      

      So patch one in:

      $ oc -n openshift-machine-api patch machineset.machine.openshift.io ci-ln-s48f02k-72292-5z2hn-worker-f --type json -p '[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/template/spec/taints", "value": [{"effect":"NoSchedule","key":"node-role.kubernetes.io/ci","value":"ci"}
      ]}]'
      machineset.machine.openshift.io/ci-ln-s48f02k-72292-5z2hn-worker-f patched
      

      And set up autoscaling:

      $ cat cluster-autoscaler.yaml
      apiVersion: autoscaling.openshift.io/v1
      kind: ClusterAutoscaler
      metadata:
        name: default
      spec:
        maxNodeProvisionTime: 30m
        scaleDown:
          enabled: true
      $ oc apply -f cluster-autoscaler.yaml 
      clusterautoscaler.autoscaling.openshift.io/default created
      

      I'm not all that familiar with autoscaling. Maybe the ClusterAutoscaler doesn't matter, and you need a MachineAutoscaler aimed at the chosen MachineSet?

      $ cat machine-autoscaler.yaml 
      apiVersion: autoscaling.openshift.io/v1beta1
      kind: MachineAutoscaler
      metadata:
        name: test
        namespace: openshift-machine-api
      spec:
        maxReplicas: 2
        minReplicas: 1
        scaleTargetRef:
          apiVersion: machine.openshift.io/v1beta1
          kind: MachineSet
          name: ci-ln-s48f02k-72292-5z2hn-worker-f
      $ oc apply -f machine-autoscaler.yaml 
      machineautoscaler.autoscaling.openshift.io/test created
      

      Checking the autoscaler's logs:

      $ oc -n openshift-machine-api logs -l k8s-app=cluster-autoscaler --tail -1 | grep taint
      W0122 19:18:47.246369       1 clusterapi_unstructured.go:217] Unable to convert data to taint: %vmap[effect:NoSchedule key:node-role.kubernetes.io/ci value:ci]
      W0122 19:18:58.474000       1 clusterapi_unstructured.go:217] Unable to convert data to taint: %vmap[effect:NoSchedule key:node-role.kubernetes.io/ci value:ci]
      W0122 19:19:09.703748       1 clusterapi_unstructured.go:217] Unable to convert data to taint: %vmap[effect:NoSchedule key:node-role.kubernetes.io/ci value:ci]
      W0122 19:19:20.929617       1 clusterapi_unstructured.go:217] Unable to convert data to taint: %vmap[effect:NoSchedule key:node-role.kubernetes.io/ci value:ci]
      ...
      

      And the MachineSet is failing to scale:

      $ oc -n openshift-machine-api get machinesets.machine.openshift.io ci-ln-s48f02k-72292-5z2hn-worker-f
      NAME                                 DESIRED   CURRENT   READY   AVAILABLE   AGE
      ci-ln-s48f02k-72292-5z2hn-worker-f   0         0                             50m
      

      While if I remove the taint:

      $ oc -n openshift-machine-api patch machineset.machine.openshift.io ci-ln-s48f02k-72292-5z2hn-worker-f --type json -p '[{"op": "remove", "path": "/spec/template/spec/taints"}]'
      machineset.machine.openshift.io/ci-ln-s48f02k-72292-5z2hn-worker-f patched
      

      The autoscaler... well, it's not scaling up new Machines like I'd expected, but at least it seems to have calmed down about the taint deserialization issue:

      $ oc -n openshift-machine-api get machines.machine.openshift.io

      Actual results

      Scale-from-zero MachineAutoscaler fails on taint-deserialization when the referenced MachineSet contains spec.template.spec.taints.

      Expected results

      Scale-from-zero MachineAutoscaler works, even when the referenced MachineSet contains spec.template.spec.taints.
