- pod_workers: pod syncing
- prober workers: container syncing
In order to synchronize the current state of Kubernetes's objects (e.g. pods, containers, etc.),
periodic synch loops are run. When there is a lot of objects to synchronize with,
loops increase communication traffic. At some point when all the traffic interfere cpu usage curve
hits the roof causing 100% cpu utilization.
To distribute the traffic in time, some sync loops can jitter their period in each loop
and help to flatten the curve.
