What this PR does / why we need it:

Hello!
This PR mainly introduces 3 changes:

  • Improves shutdown logic of the controller.
    • The controller now waits until no more requests are seen to the nginx process before exiting. This is done by polling /nginx_status (stub_status) page, and see if the requests handled number goes up.
    • resolves Zero downtime upgrade #6928.
  • Changes the grace-shutdown-period in chart values to a more reasonable default.
    • Kubernetes pods are terminated (sent a SIGTERM) and removed from Service endpoints in parallel, so pods are expected to wait a bit before stopping to accept new connections from the upstream - this is the very reason this PR exists. It is generally a good idea in Kubernetes to wait a little bit after receiving a SIGTERM signal before exiting - I have changed the default wait time from 0s to 10s.
    • resolves Zero downtime upgrade #6928 along with the above change.
  • Removes the unnecessary (verbose) wait-shutdown binary and preStop hook.

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • CVE Report (Scanner found CVE and adding report)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
    • I should note that: this PR technically introduces a breaking change to the default configuration values, but shouldn't be much of a problem to the users.
  • Documentation only

Which issue/s this PR fixes

fixes #6928
fixes #6287

How Has This Been Tested?

  • I have built docker image on this branch and manually tested the improved shutdown logic feature.
  • I have added one E2E test spec to verify that the improved shutdown logic indeed works. I have run all E2E tests locally and verified that all tests pass.

Checklist:

  • My change requires a change to the documentation.
  • I have updated the documentation accordingly.
  • I've read the CONTRIBUTION guide
  • I have added unit and/or e2e tests to cover my changes.
  • All new and existing tests passed.

Pods in Kubernetes endpoints are expected to shut-down 'gracefully' after receiving SIGTERM -
we should keep accepting new connections for a while. This is because Kubernetes updates Service endpoints
and sends SIGTERM to pods *in parallel*.

See kubernetes/kubernetes#106476 for more detail.
Note that post-shutdown-grace-period doesn't seem to contribute to graceful shutdown,
see kubernetes#8095 for discussion.
/wait-shutdown preStop script's only job is to send SIGTERM to nginx-ingress-controller,
which is PID 1, so it's the same with or without in Kubernetes environments.

See kubernetes#6287 for discussion.

Hi @motoki317. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
