OCPBUGS-105409: chore: remove AWSServiceLBNetworkSecurityGroup feature gate

[damdo]

Summary

• Remove the AWSServiceLBNetworkSecurityGroup feature gate from features/features.go — it has been enabled by default across all profiles and feature sets and is no longer needed
• Regenerate payload feature gate manifests (8 files) to reflect the removal
• Update test data in featuregate-test-analyzer_test.go to use a different AWS gate (AWSClusterHostedDNS)

Test plan

• make test-unit passes (including TestOKDHasAllDefaultFeatureGates)
• hack/verify-payload-featuregates.sh passes
• No remaining references to AWSServiceLBNetworkSecurityGroup in the codebase

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Removed the AWSServiceLBNetworkSecurityGroup feature-gate declaration and feature support matrix entry. Removed the feature gate from HyperShift and self-managed HA manifests. Updated the AWS HyperShift analyzer test to use AWSClusterHostedDNS.

Check name	Status	Explanation
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Stable And Deterministic Test Names	✅ Passed	The PR changes no Ginkgo test titles; its only test change is a static feature-gate value in a standard-library t.Run table.
Test Structure And Quality	✅ Passed	The only touched test is a standard table-driven Go unit test for filterVariants; it uses a diagnostic t.Errorf and has no Ginkgo, cluster resources, cleanup, or wait operations.
Microshift Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The pull request adds no Ginkgo e2e tests; it changes one literal in the existing standard Go Test_filterVariants unit test and adds no MicroShift-incompatible API usage.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The PR adds no Ginkgo e2e tests; its only added Go line changes a feature-gate string in a standard testing.T unit test.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	The patch only removes a feature-gate declaration, matrix row, and FeatureGate entries, plus test data; it adds no workload or scheduling constraints.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	The PR changes only feature-gate metadata, manifests, and one test literal; the patch adds no main/init/suite setup or stdout/logging writes.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The PR adds no Ginkgo e2e tests. The only changed test is a standard Go Test_filterVariants unit test, and no new IPv4 or external-connectivity requirement is introduced.
No-Weak-Crypto	✅ Passed	The patch only removes feature-gate entries and changes one test string; scans found no MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, Blowfish, ECB, custom crypto, or secret comparisons in changed paths.
Container-Privileges	✅ Passed	The patch adds no privilege settings; all eight JSON manifests are FeatureGate resources, and changed files contain no privileged, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, or allowPrivilegeEscalat...
No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs	✅ Passed	The PR adds only the non-sensitive feature-gate string AWSClusterHostedDNS; all other changes delete declarations or manifest entries, with no new logging calls or sensitive data.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description clearly explains removal of the feature gate, manifest updates, test changes, and validation steps.
Title check	✅ Passed	The title clearly and concisely describes removal of the AWSServiceLBNetworkSecurityGroup feature gate.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Deprecate gate (keep definition, mark no-op)

• ➕ Avoids breaking any downstream tooling/config that still references the name
• ➕ Allows a staged removal with clearer upgrade messaging
• ➖ Keeps dead metadata and increases long-term maintenance noise
• ➖ Still requires eventual removal and manifest regeneration later

2. Alias to a successor gate name

• ➕ Preserves compatibility while steering users toward the canonical knob
• ➕ Can simplify migration if an equivalent gate exists
• ➖ Introduces ambiguity about which gate is authoritative
• ➖ Requires extra validation and documentation to avoid surprises

Recommendation: Proceed with full removal as implemented since the gate was already enabled by default everywhere and the PR updates generated payloads and test fixtures accordingly. The deprecation/alias options mainly help if external consumers still reference the gate; given the stated verification of no remaining references, the current approach is the simplest and cleanest.
