Request for specification improvement of K8Sensor when using Instana in OpenShift environment.

Request for specification improvement of K8Sensor when using Instana in OpenShift environment.

In an OpenShift environment, K8Sensor runs as three PODs by default.

The first deployed pod is designated as the leader pod and is responsible for sending data to the backend.

If this leader pod goes down, it takes time for the shards to be redistributed between the two pods, which can lead to eventual data loss.

Relevant Support Case Number: TS017613685

This is a request to improve so that even if the leader pod of k8sensor goes down, the data will not be lost.
