To support an active-passive deployment in environments that cant use Envoy's OOTB failover solution. A short-term hack is proposed:
With multiple EPP replicas, use leader election to determine a leader, set the leaders Ready condition to True
The other replicas remain NotReady indefinitely
Should the leader go unhealthy, a newly elected Leader is marked as healthy
This issue would cover both the investigation and implementation of this behavior (which should be enabled via flag or, more preferrably, environment variable as this is hopefully a temporary fix)
