Using Kubernetes to deploy our Jira Datacenter in the cloud with two replicas results in URL delays and tab misdirections, whereas a single pod operates correctly. Logs report no errors.
I have dealt with similar issues when deploying a multi-replica Jira Datacenter environment on Kubernetes. In my case, the URL misdirections and odd behavior were resolved after I reviewed the load balancer settings and discovered certain session persistence configurations were off. My deployment was initially suffering from improper cookie handling between replicas. Once I adjusted the load balancer to maintain sticky sessions and properly routed traffic to ensure stateful interactions, the problems subsided. I also confirmed that each replica was properly configured with the target endpoint and that DNS propagation was working as expected.
Based on my experience, issues with multi-replica deployments often stem from subtle configuration mismatches. I once encountered a similar URL redirection problem in a cloud environment, and it turned out that the reverse proxy was not uniform in handling incoming headers across instances. Ensuring that the load balancer consistently forwarded the appropriate headers and that pod-level configurations aligned with expected session protocols made a significant difference. I would recommend verifying that all network components, including health checks and ingress settings, are identically configured for each replica to avoid such discrepancies.
The issues you’re encountering with the multi-replica deployment make me think about session management inconsistencies across the pods. In my experience, similar URL and tab redirection problems were traced back to how sessions were handled when state was not maintained consistently across replicas. After a review of our traffic routing and session persistence settings, I implemented a more robust approach to sharing session information between instances. I suggest focusing on the inter-replica session configuration and verifying that your reverse proxy or ingress controller enforces a consistent handling of user sessions.
hey finn, i faced similiar issues. try revising your session stickyness and cookie sharing config. maybe also double-check your pod routing settings. hope it helps
In situations like this, I found it useful to review the service registration and DNS resolution mechanisms used by Kubernetes. In our previous multi-replica deployments, a subtle misconfiguration in how replicas were advertised to the ingress resulted in inconsistent URL resolution. The issue wasn’t solely limited to load balancer settings; it also involved how endpoints were updated within the service discovery. It may be instructive to monitor the registration and deregistration events of your pods while scaling. Adjusting the cluster’s service configuration ensured consistent session handling and reduced misdirections.
