These tests directly exercise the namespace controller (in kube-controller-manager), which can fall behind due to a combination of master node CPU saturation and the ephemeral namespace churn generated during parallel E2E runs. We observe flakes (timeouts) when this occurs. The tests are sensitive to CPU saturation, but not causing CPU saturation, so the goal of this change is to improve the CI signal until such time as the incidence of CPU saturation events in CI is reduced.

Pipeline controller notification
This repo is configured to use the pipeline controller. Second-stage tests will be triggered either automatically or after lgtm label is added, depending on the repository configuration. The pipeline controller will automatically detect which contexts are required and will utilize /test Prow commands to trigger the second stage.

For optional jobs, comment /test ? to see a list of all defined jobs. To trigger manually all jobs from second stage use /pipeline required command.

This repository is configured in: automatic mode

Opening this directly against 4.21 instead of main for testing... will need a 4.22 PR if we use it.

It's definitely being isolated as expected and there are no failures in the aggregated runs: #30661 (comment). Since our current baseline is around 90% pass, the aggregated results could still be due to chance, but I don't think it's worth waiting for more pre-merge test runs.
