I think right now we have three major issues.
1. http://status.openstack.org/elastic-recheck/index.html#1763070
This has resurfaced and I'm not sure why, nor do I think we ever had a great handle on what is causing this or how to work around it so if anyone has new ideas please chip in.
the only theory i have on that is in the absense of any other indication we could be running out of entorpy in the vm which can lead to https connections failing. we might want to consider enabling the virtio random number generator in the gate vms. https://github.com/openstack/glance/blob/master/etc/metadefs/compute-libvirt... this need to be enabled in the flavours too but low entroy can cass ssl connection to fail https://major.io/2007/07/01/check-available-entropy-in-linux/
You may be right with lack of entropy is culprit in some issues. E.g. here: https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/edcf837457a741abb752693723319b15/... it took 120 seconds to Initialize random number generator on guest VM and because of that network wasn't configured properly and test failed.
https://review.opendev.org/#/c/697194/ is a first pass attempt at implementing the virtio rng device. How do we verify it is actually working? Clark
