On February 14, 2024, a scheduled monthly Kubernetes maintenance activity unintentionally caused a 30-minute outage for the FreeIPA service within the Control Plane. While the service itself remained functional on workloads, the issue stemmed from a bug introduced during the maintenance. This bug impacted the Inverting Proxy component, responsible for facilitating communication between the Control Plane and workloads, leading to the temporary disruption.
The team promptly identified and rectified the bug, restoring full service approximately within 30 minutes. Additionally, we have implemented corrective measures within the maintenance automation to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this incident may have caused.
