🟡 Changes recommended
Client connections retain the initial CA pool, and the regression test does not exercise handshakes or rotation.
Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

… race and monotonic growth Rebuilds the x509.CertPool from scratch on each rotation and atomically swaps both the pool and the keypair under certMutex. GetConfigForClient is used to dynamic-dispatch the current pool on every incoming TLS handshake while preserving configurable TLS cipher suites and minimum TLS version settings. Adds unit and -race regression tests. Fixes kedacore#7691 Signed-off-by: Raphael Zanarelli <zanarelli.dev@gmail.com>

Rebased onto current main and addressed both TLS rotation findings in 5040d60. The targeted package suite passes with the race detector. The previous internal e2e failure was isolated to pause_scale_in after three attempts and is unrelated; the new push has restarted CI. |

@zroubalik Thanks for the review and test suggestions! Applied both in commit 24ea844: dynamicTLSCredentials.Info() now returns ServerName: c.name and SecurityVersion: "1.2", the stale CA eviction test now has probes trusting both CA generations to isolate dynamic peer rejection, and added TestLoadGrpcTLSCredentialsOverrideServerName to verify that dialing 127.0.0.1 with OverrideServerName("localhost") succeeds against certificates without IP SAN. |
…ic credentials Info Return ServerName and SecurityVersion in dynamicTLSCredentials.Info() so that gRPC dialing by IP with OverrideServerName preserves the authority and passes TLS verification against certificates without IP SAN. Add TestLoadGrpcTLSCredentialsOverrideServerName covering gRPC dial with OverrideServerName against 127.0.0.1, and tighten stale CA eviction test by ensuring probes trust both CA generations while presenting original certificates to isolate dynamic peer rejection.

Two small things: ServerName passed into config() has no effect, since grpc's tlsCreds.ClientHandshake always overwrites it from the authority. You can drop that (or add a comment). And a nit: |

What this PR does
Fixes a data race and memory bug in the gRPC Metrics Server mTLS certificate rotation logic where concurrent handshakes panic (
fatal error: concurrent map read and map write) andx509.CertPoolaccumulates duplicate entries.Root Cause
LoadGrpcTLSCredentialspreviously instantiated a singlex509.CertPoolat startup and appended PEM certs into the same live pool on eachfsnotifyrotation event. In Go,x509.CertPoolis not thread-safe for concurrent appends and lookups, causing unrecoverable runtime crashes under concurrent mTLS handshakes.x509.CertPoolcannot shrink or evict entries, causing monotonic memory growth with duplicate entries across rotation cycles.config.ClientCAsandconfig.RootCAswere pinned at startup.Fix
buildCertPool()which constructs a fresh, isolatedx509.CertPoolon each rotation cycle.certPoolandmTLSCertificatepointer undercertMutex.GetConfigForClientto dynamically dispatch the current certificate and CA pool on every TLS handshake while preserving KEDA's configurable TLS minimum version (kedautil.GetServiceMinTLSVersion()) and cipher list (kedautil.GetServiceTLSCipherList()).go test -race) inpkg/metricsservice/utils/tls_test.go.Fixes #7691
