#kubernetes - March 2023

Is anyone here using:
• EKS
• istio-cni
• istio sidecars?
Just want to confirm if you should see istio-init containers when using istio-cni (we are!) The documentation suggests that you shouldn't 🤔

The Istio CNI plugin replaces the functionality provided by the istio-init container.

Anyone ever had cURL periodically throw 000 for Kubernetes CronJobs that are making internal HTTP POST calls to K8S services? I don't have any Network policy that is isolating namespaces defined and no Istio sidecar on the CronJob pod. If I set the job to sleep and interactively connect to the running job and make the same call I can't reproduce. I have set a ReadinessProbe with an init delay to GET the same endpoint and that passes (with retries) and then the subsequent POST seemingly randomly fails. It is bizarre

Anyone using kubedb by appscode? If so, can you share your experience?

Is anyone using cast.ai for managing their clusters?

Hello

I’ve started new Kubernetes Operations Survey. The goal is to better understand so-called “2nd day operations” on Kubernetes clusters e.g. upgrades, migrations, etc. I would appreciate it if you could spend a couple of minutes to fill that out!

Results of the last year’s survey are here.

Thank you!

EKS no longer has a functional default storage class?
I cannot create StatefulSet on 1.24 and 1.25, but I tried the same STS on 1.22 and it works fine.
