Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Operators in the control plane can now start before bootstrap is fully complete. Consequence: Baremetal provisioning infrastructure could be active on both the bootstrap and control plane at the same time. Fix: Restrict bootstrap provisioning infrastructure to provision masters only. Result: Both provisioning infrastructures can be online at the same time.

Description Stephen Benjamin 2020-02-07 20:15:33 UTC
The bootstrap VM can now co-exist with machine-api being up. That means there could be an instance of Ironic, dnsmasq, etc running in both the cluster and the bootstrap. This causes problems, as it's not deterministic which dnsmasq instance the worker provisioned by the machine-api will use. If bootstrap responds first then the worker will not come online as it'll be pointing at the wrong place.

This is causing a percentage of baremetal installs to fail, with the worker being offline, ingress and other operators never come up.
