The invocation of CiliumIdentity changes is triggered after a random delay when modifying the namespace label. #38031

orange30 · 2025-03-06T11:47:08Z

Currently, in clusters where Cilium is deployed, changing the namespace label will instantly generate a number of ciliumidentity when the namespace have many pod who's label is different.
After these ciliumidentity events are pushed to the API server, they are fully distributed to each node.
These ciliumidentity changes will result in a large number of ciliumendpoint update events.
Therefore, when there are many pods who's lable is different in a namespace and the cluster has a large number of nodes, changing the namespace label can easily cause significant pressure on the API server and, under extreme circumstances, may lead to the API server crashing.

In this patch, when modifying the namespace label, we delay the invocation of the CiliumIdentity change event by a random amount of time to alleviate pressure on the API server.
The maximum delay time can be configured via the cilium-config ConfigMap.
Modifying the namespace label is a relatively infrequent operation, so we believe that a delay should be acceptable in most cases.

Fixes: #38030

A new option `--identity-max-jitter` adds a random delay to when Cilium reacts to namespace label updates. This jitter is intended to improve kube-apiserver resource usage at high scale.

nice improvement, thanks! (I've retriggered failed tests)

Ah apparently the PR still needs sign-off from @cilium/endpoint .

Seems pretty straight forward

Thanks for the update. Please note that there's an issue with the docs: HINT: to fix this, run 'make -C Documentation update-cmdref'

Looks like this needs a rebase to pass the gateway test. I'll do rebase.

A Jitter parameter has been added to the controller. When Jitter is set to 0, the params.DoFunc is executed immediately. Otherwise, it will pause for a random period between 0 and Jitter before executing the function. Fixed: cilium#38030 Signed-off-by: zhikuodu <duzhk@qq.com>

When namespace label is changed, the identity update incorporates a jitter to manage the update timing. The maximum jitter time for CiliumIdentity can be configured using the "identity-max-jitter" key in the cilium-config. Fixes: cilium#38030 Signed-off-by: zhikuodu <duzhk@qq.com>

I'd like to see this in the upcoming v1.18 release and I think there are no serious concerns. I added the label to make it easier to track.

Despite the Ariane reaction on the test command above, the workflows do not appear to have been triggered. I will retrigger them now.
