Why create a new port? and not reuse the existing 10093 ? since we are a hostnet: true pod, any port number we use comes with restrictions as it takes away from nodes usable port ranges. In AKS, we will have to pre register the ports we will be using to make sure customers are also aware of the ports they should not use to avoid any conflict.

This seems to be already configured in Legacy & Hubble control planes as default HealthProbeBindAddress.
Its always provided when we set up k8s controller runtime options.
Hubble:

retina/pkg/config/hubble_config_linux.go

Line 42 in 4b12472

HealthProbeBindAddress: ":18001",

Legacy: https://github.com/microsoft/retina/blob/4b12472cc5007e0931238dd5e26f819e6be093b5/cmd/root.go#L42C10-L42C15

I think also @rbtr mentioned having a configurable port.
Do you think we should change to 10093?

[mereta]

Ok I did some testing and got errors when using port 10093.
I don't think we can reuse the Retina port, some findings below:

We start a http api server with that port in controller manager:

retina/pkg/managers/controllermanager/controllermanager.go

Line 56 in b27958f

// create HTTP server for API server

And the trail for setting up health check is:
The HealthProbeBindAddress we pass as part of options in the ctrl manager ends up here where a listener is created.
comment:
This will throw an error if the bind address is invalid or already in use.
(same logic as providing pprof address below)

If listener exists k8s tries to add HealthProbeServer:

addHealthProverServer() definition - creates a new server:
