Connection refused error when initialising Synchronizer but curl works fine

Split Synchronizer - Version: 5.4.0

Unable to use synchronizer service in kubernetes setup.

I'm getting connect-refused error from synchronizer container but if I exec inside the container and do a curl call to same URL it passes with HTTP 200 status code.

===Log snippet from container===

➜  ~/code git:(synchronizer_setup) $ kubectl logs -f split-synchronizer-87856ddf8-v7v9c

Hi @av-mandiant a connection refused error would indicate some kind of networking issue. Are you running a networking sidecar (like istio) for your container or is there any other network provisioning that needs to complete upon spinning up the container before making requests?
