Context Canceled with Azure Managed Identity

[alenesho116]

Upgraded our cluster aad-pod-identity helm chart to 4.1.10 and we are now getting the following error when trying to use an Azure Queue Scaled Job with Keda:

This same managed identity worked with the same permissions before until we upgraded and it seems like it might be a permission timeout but not too sure.

Expected Behavior

The Keda operator should be able to read the Azure queue and scaled up our application pods to handle the objects in the queue.

Actual Behavior

Keda operator fails with a context canceled error when running ScaledJob.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Create Azure managed identity with queue contributer permissions to the storage account
2. deploy keda helm chart with the podIdentity.activeDirectory.identity set on an aks cluster
3. create azure queue scaled job and add one item to queue

Specifications

• KEDA Version: 2.7.2
• Platform & Version: AKS
• Kubernetes Version: 1.22
• Scaler(s): Azure Storage Queue Scaler

What happens when you downgrade the aad-pod-identity helm chart?

We have seen similar flavoured but different issues since last Friday (24. June 2022) unrelated to Azure Managed Identities

[alenesho116]

So when we use aad-pod-identity helm chart at version 4.1.8, this works fine but the issue began with chart version 4.1.10.

Others are also reporting time out issues at the token retrieval with pod identity when using a similar setup as KEDA with azure Azure/aad-pod-identity#1287

[alenesho116]

Just tested a downgrade of aad-pod-identity helm chart and still getting same error.

[brainslush]

Just assume for a second this error is unrelated to the Helm chart. When did you see this error for the first time? I'm trying to pinpoint the source of the issue and somehow I get the feeling that Azure might be the source.

Are there any errors in aad-pod-identity pods?
