Description Etienne Simard 2020-08-26 20:04:06 UTC
Opening this bugzilla for 4.4 as well.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1872822 +++

I've noticed that this issue is still present in the 4.5 Azure UPI templates. The IPI fix has been backported all the way to 4.3 (https://github.com/openshift/installer/pull/3665), but the UPI fix is only currently in 4.6 and lagging.

Backporting to 4.5 would fully resolve https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1856729 which is currently resolved for 4.6.

Description of problem:
Load balancers (both internal and external) for kube-apiserver should use /readyz for back-end health check.

After scanning the github repo, we found the following platforms do not use /readyz for backend health check.

Azure: 
https://github.com/openshift/installer/blob/master/data/data/azure/vnet/internal-lb.tf#L138
https://github.com/openshift/installer/blob/master/data/data/azure/vnet/public-lb.tf#L164
https://github.com/openshift/installer/blob/master/upi/azure/03_infra.json#L101
https://github.com/openshift/installer/blob/master/upi/azure/03_infra.json#L184


VSphere: 
https://github.com/openshift/installer/blob/master/upi/vsphere/lb/haproxy.tmpl#L33


Please investigate the following, not sure if it needs to be addressed 
https://github.com/openshift/installer/blob/master/upi/aws/cloudformation/02_cluster_infra.yaml#L179

The above health checks use default TCP rule which breaks graceful termination. When the apiserver receives a KILL signal /readyz will start reporting failure. This gives the load balancer a chance to detect an instance that is rolling out and take appropriate action.    


We should use AWS lb rules as a reference for consistency - https://github.com/openshift/installer/blob/master/data/data/aws/vpc/master-elb.tf#L87

"health_check {
    healthy_threshold   = 2
    unhealthy_threshold = 2
    interval            = 10
    port                = 6443
    protocol            = "HTTPS"
    path                = "/readyz"
 }"



Version-Release number of the following components:
OpenShift 4.5. 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run an upgrade job on the specified infrastructure. 

You will see that the load balancer is sending request to an apiserver while it's down. 


Actual results:
An example: https://prow.svc.ci.openshift.org/view/gcs/origin-ci-test/logs/release-openshift-ocp-installer-e2e-azure-serial-4.4/1542

Apr 26 21:45:14.063: INFO: Unexpected error listing nodes: Get https://api.ci-op-hvqc8pgw-0ba00.ci.azure.devcluster.openshift.com:6443/api/v1/nodes?fieldSelector=spec.unschedulable%3Dfalse&resourceVersion=0: dial tcp 52.154.154.255:6443: connect: connection refused



Expected results:
The load balancer should identify the kube-apiserer instance that is being rolled out in time and forward requests to another instance that is serving. Ideally, we should not see any "dial tcp 52.154.154.255:6443: connect: connection refused" error while kube-apiserver is being rolled out.


Bug 1828382 handled installer-provisioned Azure.  This clone is for the user-provisioned Azure recommendations.  Dropping severity down to medium, because user-provisioned recommendations are suggesting approaches, not telling the user what they should be doing without thinking.

Won't be able to get to it this sprint.

--- Additional comment from Brenton Leanhardt on 2020-05-18 17:59:29 UTC ---

We discussed this bug during today's bug scrub and decided that it should be deferred to an upcoming sprint.

Confirmed both internal and external loadbalancers are using http/https and the /readyz endpoint in UPI Azure using 4.5.0-0.nightly-2020-06-10-224736

Comment 1 Scott Dodson 2020-09-29 15:36:40 UTC
*** Bug 1880726 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 3 Etienne Simard 2020-10-07 18:25:08 UTC
Verified with 4.4.0-0.nightly-2020-10-05-235326 and templates from https://github.com/openshift/installer/pull/4202

Confirmed the cluster works well with the changes to the internal-lb and public-lb. Also had Mike Gahagan confirm it since I've initiated the backport.
