Description of problem:

My script is creating an etcd cluster from 3 atomic nodes. This works fine. Next step is to configure and restart kube-apiserver. When restarting it serially, it works 100% times. When done in parallel, it fails in 27 out of 41 cases on

Then I think the systemd tries to restart it again, then the service works correctly

but the failure above causes the starting command to return nonzero.

I am not sure is this expected behavior or not, but I don't like it too much. The problematic part is surely the
