Fixes (part of) aws-controllers-k8s/community#1753
This patch introduces a new
--leader-election-namespace
flag used toconfigure controller-runtime leaderElection componenet. This namespace
is utilized by the controller to manage the
coordination.k8s.io/lease
obejct for leader election.
In the context of the controller-runtime library, if the
LeaderElectionNamespace parametere is not explicitly set, the library
will automatically default its value to the content of the file
mounted at /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/namespace.
In Kubernetes, when a pod is created, a service account is
automatically associated with it, unless explicitly specified
otherwise. This service account contains relevant information, such
as the namespace in which the pod is deployed. The Kubernetes API
server mounts a two files for the service account in the pod's
filesystem at /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token
and /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/namespace,
respectively.
