Virtlet lack of entropy

[roboman2444]

My Virtlet pods have a surprising lack of entropy, and therefore, fail/timeout some services that require /dev/random and getrandom().

It appears that something like https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/VirtIORNG would help. Is there any way to enable this in Virtlet, or some other method of generating more entropy on the pods?

The same image generates entropy just fine when running on my desktop in Qemu.

My issue might be related to the ec2 i3.metal instance I am running it on, but that has > 3000 in /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail.

I'm running images based on Alpine if that matters. (generated with https://github.com/alpinelinux/alpine-make-vm-image), and the Host is running Ubuntu 18.10 with kubernetes 1.11.6.

I'm currently using haveged as a band-aid fix for this.
