When an existing BF4 Astra site upgrades without configuring this new option, this changes bfcfgParameters from absent to the three BF3/generic built-ins. Since the template spec determines its hash-derived name and the deployment is updated to reference that name, the upgrade reprovisions every Astra DPU despite no operator configuration change. Keep the Astra field absent when the resolved extra list is empty, and add only explicitly configured Astra parameters.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

For BF4 Astra, this value is subsequently serialized into a DPUFlavorTemplate, whose body is processed as a Go template before the concrete flavor is created. An otherwise valid parameter containing literal {{ ... }} is therefore interpreted or rejected by the renderer rather than passed through verbatim as the new configuration contract promises. Escape template delimiters when embedding operator parameters in the Astra template, or reject them during configuration validation and document that restriction.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

@coderabbitai about the redaction, NICo doesn't know or care what's in these bfcfg parameters so i don't think it's appropriate to try to infer if something should be redacted or not. |

The source of these are in config files which is not user-input, nor a privilege escalation. Shell sourced is probably a feature, not an overlooked security issue. The whole point is to run things on a DPU at provisioning time by an administrative configuration. |

The DPUFlavor needs customization, but its custom resource spec is
immutable, so it must be done at creation time by NICo. Parameters
cannot be patched onto the flavor after the fact.
This commit adds additional fields to the API config file that affect
the generation of the bfcfgParameters in the built DPUFlavor CR. One is
global (`[dpf].extra_bfcfg_parameters`) and will apply to all
DPUFlavors, and one config in a per-deployment flavor
(`[dpf.deployments.<name>].extra_bfcfg_parameters`). The per-deployment
is appended to the global configuration value. No interpretation
otherwise mutation of the config values are performed by NICo and is
strictly a pass-through to the DPUFlavor resource.
Set a DPU login password site-wide, and one BF4-only parameter alongside
it:
[dpf]
extra_bfcfg_parameters = ["ubuntu_PASSWORD='$6$sa.lt$ha.sh'"]
[dpf.deployments.bf4_generic]
extra_bfcfg_parameters = ["SOME_BF4_ONLY_PARAMETER=1"]
All DPUFlavors will get the `ubuntu_PASSWORD` and the bf4_generic
variant will get `SOME_BF4_ONLY_PARAMETER=1`.
Both fields default to empty. Once set, changing an entry generates a
new DPUFlavor and reprovisions that deployment's DPUs. However, it's
required when modifying the bfcfg_parameters anyway.
