Bug Description

In kubernetes environment is very difficult to make sure that neutron-openvswitch-agent pod starts after openvswitch db and vswitchd pods during kubernetes cluster startup process. As a result it does not find socket, fails and stay in failed state. If instead of just failing it could retry several times then result would be different as by that time openvswitch would have come up and created db socket. It would be great to add retry mechanism to neutron-openvswitch-agent to make it more robust in kubernetes environment.

I agree, OVS agent should continuously try to connect instead of exit.

This seems to be handled by PS https://review.openstack.org/#/c/388105/

I believe this should be handled by the --retry option of ovs-vsctl instead of a wait loop in the neutron agent code.

This is still a legit bug. I lowered severity to Medium because it doesn't affect bare metal Neutron installations, and there is a workaround (manage dependencies between containers in some other way, like via systemd unit service files).
