Description Lukasz Szaszkiewicz 2020-09-15 14:43:59 UTC
Communicating with Kube API via localhost is discouraged because the caller doesn't know when the server is ready to serve the request. Reaching over the Kubernetes build-in service is preferred as it only contains the servers that are healthy and ready.

The following query shows that the operator frequently fails with errors like `127.0.0.1:6443: connect: connection refused` or `Failed to list *v1beta1.CertificateSigningRequest: certificatesigningrequests.certificates.k8s.io is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:openshift-cluster-machine-approver:machine-approver-sa" cannot list resource "certificatesigningrequests" in API group "certificates.k8s.io" at the cluster scope`

I have opened https://github.com/openshift/cluster-machine-approver/pull/85 to address this issue.

The cluster-machine-approver is not part of the MCO, looking at the repo I think it might belong to machine-api? Moving over.
