Hi, so we have a fully functioning setup of octavia on ussuri and it works nicely, when it competes.
So here is what happens:
From octavia api to octavia worker takes 20 seconds for the job to be initiated.
The loadbalancer gets built quickly and then we get a mysql went away error, the listener gets built and then a member , that works too, then the mysql error comes up with query took too long to execute.
Now this is where it gets weird. This is all within the first 2 - 3 minutes. 
At this point it hangs and takes 10 minutes (600 seconds) for the next step to complete and then another 10 minutes and another 10 until it’s completed. 
It seems there is a timeout somewhere but even with debug on we do not see what is going on. Does anyone have a mysql 8 running and octavia executing fine? And could send me their redacted octavia or mysql conf files? We didn’t touch them but it seems that there is something off.. 
especially since it then completes and works extremely nicely. 
I would highly appreciate it , even off list.
Best regards,
