Network not working on pod boot

sukolenvo · January 19, 2022, 3:19am

With istio sidecar, right after pod is created, network is unavailable for few seconds. Is it expected and know issue?
Without istio sidecar all network requests are successful at all stages.
Container that I am testing with is:

      containers:
        - image: nginx
          name: esp
          command: ["bash"]
          args: ["-c", "while(true); do curl 'google.com'; sleep 1; done"]

In logs I get 1-2 times error:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to google.com port 80: Connection refused

After that all requests are executed successfully.

Full logs:

Could this be caused by some missconfiguration we did? Any advise is much appreciated. Thank you

this is normal for PODs with init container. the case is the init container starts before the istio-init container (which enables the networking). even if istio-init starts , it takes several seconds till the istio-proxy is in ready state and can pass traffic. you should either annotate your pod to wait for istio-proxy READY state or put a wait-loop in your application code for network to be up.
google: proxy.istio.io/config: '{"holdApplicationUntilProxyStarts": true }'
