ServiceMesh federation stops working after the restart of istiod pod

XMLWordPrintable

    • Sprint 61

      Federation controller uses multiple informers to fetch Kubernetes objects, but it does not check HasSynced() on all of them. This causes race condition - informers may be invoked while they are not ready and then object processing fails.

      Steps to reproduce for QE:
      1. Deploy 2 service meshes.
      2. Federate CA certificates and apply ServiceMeshPeers.
      3. Restart istiod containers.

      Istiods should start federation controllers successfully without errors like in the log below.

      Original description:

      The following error appears in istiod logs after istiod has been restarted:

      And shortly after that the communication with the other servicemeshpeer is interrupted.  

      The configmap exists, and the communication was working correctly to the other peer.
