Netchecker is rewritten in Go lang with some new args instead of env variables. Also netchecker-server no longer requires kubectl container. Updating playbooks accordingly.

Network Checker Application
With the deploy_netchecker var enabled (defaults to false), Kargo deploys a
Network Checker Application from the 3rd side l23network/k8s-netchecker docker
images. It consists of the server and agents trying to reach the server by usual
for Kubernetes applications network connectivity meanings. Therefore, this
automagically verifies a pod to pod connectivity via the cluster IP and checks
if DNS resolve is functioning as well.
The checks are run by agents on a periodic basis and cover standard and host network pods as well. The history of performed checks may be found in the agents' application logs.
To get the most recent and cluster-wide network connectivity report, run from any of the cluster nodes:
curl http://localhost:31081/api/v1/connectivity_check
Note that Kargo does not invoke the check but only deploys the application, if requested.
There are related application specifc variables:
netchecker_port: 31081
agent_report_interval: 15
netcheck_namespace: default
agent_img: "quay.io/l23network/k8s-netchecker-agent:v1.0"
server_img: "quay.io/l23network/k8s-netchecker-server:v1.0"
Note that the application verifies DNS resolve for FQDNs comprising only the
combination of the netcheck_namespace.dns_domain vars, for example the
netchecker-service.default.cluster.local. If you want to deploy the application
to the non default namespace, make sure as well to adjust the searchdomains var
so the resulting search domain records to contain that namespace, like:
search: foospace.cluster.local default.cluster.local ...
nameserver: ...
