All controller unit tests were accidentally using a timeout context
for the informers, instead of a cancel context which stays alive until
each test is completely finished. There is no reason to risk
unpredictable behavior of a timeout being reached during an individual
test, even though with the previous 3 second timeout it could only be
reached on a machine which is running orders of magnitude slower than
usual, since each test usually runs in about 100-300 ms. Unfortunately,
sometimes our CI workers might get that slow.
This sparked a review of other usages of timeout contexts in other
tests, and all of them were increased to a minimum value of 1 minute,
under the rule of thumb that our tests will be more reliable on slow
machines if they "pass fast and fail slow".
New resource naming conventions:
- Do not repeat the Kind in the name,
e.g. do not call it foo-cluster-role-binding, just call it foo
- Names will generally start with a prefix to identify our component,
so when a user lists all objects of that kind, they can tell to which
component it is related,
e.g. `kubectl get configmaps` would list one named "pinniped-config"
- It should be possible for an operator to make the word "pinniped"
mostly disappear if they choose, by specifying the app_name in
values.yaml, to the extent that is practical (but not from APIService
names because those are hardcoded in golang)
- Each role/clusterrole and its corresponding binding have the same name
- Pinniped resource names that must be known by the server golang code
are passed to the code at run time via ConfigMap, rather than
hardcoded in the golang code. This also allows them to be prepended
with the app_name from values.yaml while creating the ConfigMap.
- Since the CLI `get-kubeconfig` command cannot guess the name of the
CredentialIssuerConfig resource in advance anymore, it lists all
CredentialIssuerConfig in the app's namespace and returns an error
if there is not exactly one found, and then uses that one regardless
of its name
When we use RSA private keys to sign our test certificates, we run
into strange test timeouts. The internal/controller/apicerts package
was timing out on my machine more than once every 3 runs. When I
changed the RSA crypto to EC crypto, this timeout goes away. I'm not
gonna try to figure out what the deal is here because I think it would
take longer than it would be worth (although I am sure it is some fun
story involving prime numbers; the goroutine traces for timed out
tests would always include some big.Int operations involving prime
numbers...).

These configuration knobs are much more human-understandable than the
previous percentage-based threshold flag.
We now allow users to set the lifetime of the serving cert via a ConfigMap.
Previously this was hardcoded to 1 year.

The rotation is forced by a new controller that deletes the serving cert
secret, as other controllers will see this deletion and ensure that a new
serving cert is created.
Note that the integration tests now have an addition worst case runtime of
60 seconds. This is because of the way that the aggregated API server code
reloads certificates. We will fix this in a future story. Then, the
integration tests should hopefully get much faster.
