Bootstrap request to first cpn takes a long time

[magicite]

Might be the same as #109.

I'm creating a cluster on some old Dell R620s with sidero and am noticing that once the first control plane node gets to the point where it needs to receive the bootstrap request, it takes a variable amount of time to receive it. I've seen between 6 and 15 minutes. If I kill the cacppt-controller-manager pod, that seems to kickstart things.

I'm running the latest of everything.

[root@dill04 sidero]# clusterctl upgrade plan --kubeconfig-context admin@ben-sidero-demo-2

Attached is the cacppt-controller-manager log. This log has two cluster provisions, with the first one not having the "takes a long time" issue, and the second one experiencing the issue. I think the interesting bits start at 1.658505243132774e+09 (last failed message).

@Unix4ever any ideas?

A few updates in case it's helpful.

• I've provisioned workload clusters when the management cluster was itself created with talosctl cluster create using docker, and on a baremetal talos cluster. I've only seen this issue with the docker cluster.
• Sometimes on the docker cluster, I don't hit this issue at all. I'd say maybe I hit the issue about half the time?

Here's how I'm creating the docker management cluster:

talosctl cluster create \
  --name bootstrap \
  --kubernetes-version 1.24.3 \
  -p 69:69/udp,8081:8081/tcp,51821:51821/udp \
  --memory 4096 \
  --workers 0 \
  --nameservers 16.110.135.51,16.110.135.52 \
  --registry-mirror docker.io=http://dill04.us.cray.com:2022 \
  --registry-mirror k8s.gcr.io=http://dill04.us.cray.com:2023 \
  --registry-mirror quay.io=http://dill04.us.cray.com:2024 \
  --registry-mirror gcr.io=http://dill04.us.cray.com:2025 \
  --registry-mirror ghcr.io=http://dill04.us.cray.com:2026 \
  --registry-mirror registry.k8s.io=http://dill04.us.cray.com:2027 \
  --with-cluster-discovery=false \
  --config-patch @env.yaml \
  --config-patch-control-plane @env.yaml \
  --config-patch-worker @env.yaml \
  --endpoint $HOST_IP

with the patch file being

Are you using latest versions of the providers? We had some fixes since that time.

[magicite]

Yes - I am using the latest released versions of the providers.
