@ramkri123

Description

@ramkri123

Current State

  • Services may not handle shutdown signals gracefully
  • In-flight requests may be dropped
  • No cleanup on shutdown

Issues

  • Data loss on shutdown
  • Incomplete operations
  • Resource leaks (connections, file handles)
  • Abrupt termination causes errors

Required

  • Implement graceful shutdown handlers (SIGTERM, SIGINT)
  • Wait for in-flight requests to complete (with timeout)
  • Clean up resources:
    • Close database connections
    • Close HTTP connections
    • Flush logs
    • Release TPM resources
  • Add shutdown timeout (e.g., 30 seconds)
  • Document shutdown behavior
  • Add shutdown metrics

Location

  • All Python services
  • SPIRE Agent/Server
  • Keylime components
