biblically accurate cluster latency graph

a screenshot showing a directed latency/connectivity graph for nodes in a kubernetes cluster, generated by goldpinger. each node is identified by a circle and there are edges connecting all nodes to each other, labelled with the latency in ms

i'll give ya $5 (in fartcoin) if you can guess when i deployed my initial implementation, and when i realized what i had done.

a graph of running goroutines on 3 kubernetes api server instances, showing a sharp, sustained spike from about 6k to 9k, and then an eventual drop bacck to closer to 6-7k.

thankfully, you can use per-node configs to roll out the changes to existing nodes, not just new nodes. cordon, drain, delete cilium pod (nuke daemonsets after cilium), wait for everything to go green, uncordon, repeat with next node, ... , profit!

partial output from running "cilium status" showing:
- bandwidth manager with the bbr algorithm enabled
- bpf masquerading and host routing enabled
- netkit device mode with tcx bpf attach mode
