Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Added startup checks for OVN node and master components to verify CNI configuration is available before startup completes.
  • Improved handling of slow or stalled initialization, with startup failures detected after approximately three minutes.

Pipeline controller notification
This repo is configured to use the pipeline controller. Second-stage tests will be triggered either automatically or after lgtm label is added, depending on the repository configuration. The pipeline controller will automatically detect which contexts are required and will utilize /test Prow commands to trigger the second stage.

For optional jobs, comment /test ? to see a list of all defined jobs. To trigger manually all jobs from second stage use /pipeline required command.

Walkthrough

The OVN node and master DaemonSets now use startup probes to check for /etc/cni/net.d/10-ovn-kubernetes.conf. Each probe runs every five seconds and allows 36 failures.

Changes

OVN startup probes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CNI configuration startup checks assets/components/ovn/multi-node/node/daemonset.yaml, assets/components/ovn/single-node/master/daemonset.yaml	The ovnkube-node and ovnkube-master containers now use an exec-based startupProbe that checks for the CNI configuration file. Existing readiness probe configuration remains unchanged.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ae79e

A restarted OVN pod can appear started and ready while its node initialization is still running. Remove the stale CNI file during startup before merging.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the CNI file before startup setup in both DaemonSets.

Both DaemonSets mount the host /etc/cni/net.d, and their probes only test 10-ovn-kubernetes.conf. ovnkube --init-node writes the file only if it does not already exist. If a restart bypasses preStop, the stale file can satisfy both probes while initialization continues. Remove the file as the first startup command, before setup commands and exec /usr/bin/ovnkube, in both DaemonSets.
