Doc Text:
Feature: Implements an IP reconciliation job for Whereabouts IPAM CNI called "ip-reconciler" which runs as a Kubernetes cronjob. Reason: On occasion events occur where the CNI DEL action will not complete for a given pod (for example, a forcefully powered off node), and in such a case stored IP address allocations may be left stranded and unable to be allocated without manual intervention. Result: Stranded IP address allocations are garbage collected automatically on a periodic basis to free unused IP addresses.

Description of problem: IP reconciliation is a feature in the latest whereabouts, and due to reports, this feature should be backported all the way to 4.6.z. The feature is in the form of a cron job which reconciles the IP addresses.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.6-4.10


How reproducible: Specialized. Customers often experience this when nodes are rebooted, or pods are force deleted, and therefore CNI DEL calls aren't processed in their entirety by Whereabouts


Steps to Reproduce: (We will produce a procedure which produces orphaned IP addresses)

Actual results: IP addresses will remain stranded, and never utilized again.


Expected results: IP addresses that were stranded become available for use again.


Additional info: 4.10 has the reconciliation code but still requires a bug fix from upstream.
