IBM Cloud CCM was reconfigured to use loopback as the bind address in 4.16. However, the liveness probe was not configured to use loopback too, so the CCM constantly fails the liveness probe and restarts continuously.    

    4.17

    100%

    1. Create a IPI cluster on IBM Cloud
    2. Watch the IBM Cloud CCM pod and restarts, increase every 5 mins (liveness probe timeout)

    IBM Cloud have a PR open to fix the liveness probe.
