The purpose of the garbage collection controller is to add a degree of fault tolerance within this service. Its job is to watch managed Certificate resources and verify that the Gateway resource still exists.
- Gateway resources are treated as
usermanaged and can therefore be deleted or updated at any time. - The garbage collection service prevents orphaned Certificate resources in the event a Gateway is deleted.
- For all managed Certificate Resources
- Inspect the associated Gateway
- If NOT exists:
- Delete the Certificate.
- If exists:
- Delete the Certificate if it is not in use. This occurs when the port.name is updated by the user.
