Epic Goal

Add new testing functionality for the on-prem loadbalancer. This is expected to consist of a number of monitortests for the various containers.

Why is this important?

In 4.17 we made some changes related to the internal loadbalancer, and one of these changes caused a failure in one of the keepalived healthchecks. This did not cause any obvious failures, but it did cause unnecessary disruptive failovers. This problem was sufficiently problematic for stability in 4.17 that TRT is asking all of the affected teams to implement additional test coverage to prevent similar issues in the future.

Planning Done Checklist

The following items must be completed on the Epic prior to moving the Epic from Planning to the ToDo status

• Priority+ is set by engineering
• Epic must be Linked to a +Parent Feature
• Target version+ must be set
• Assignee+ must be set
• (Enhancement Proposal is Implementable
• (No outstanding questions about major work breakdown
• (Are all Stakeholders known? Have they all been notified about this item?
• Does this epic affect SD? {}Have they been notified{+}? (View plan definition for current suggested assignee)
  1. Please use the “Discussion Needed: Service Delivery Architecture Overview” checkbox to facilitate the conversation with SD Architects. The SD architecture team monitors this checkbox which should then spur the conversation between SD and epic stakeholders. Once the conversation has occurred, uncheck the “Discussion Needed: Service Delivery Architecture Overview” checkbox and record the outcome of the discussion in the epic description here.
  2. The guidance here is that unless it is very clear that your epic doesn’t have any managed services impact, default to use the Discussion Needed checkbox to facilitate that conversation.

Additional information on each of the above items can be found here: Networking Definition of Planned
