Description

#882 upgraded client-go to the version that uses Context in k8s API calls. The code now uses empty contexts with context.TODO(); in the future we may need to evaluate the need to explicitly manipulate contexts to get access to upcoming k8s features such as distributed tracing.

Research direction

Start by locating the Kubernetes API calls that still use context.TODO() and review the client-go upgrade in #882. Define which request contexts must be propagated and verify that the chosen context behavior supports the intended Kubernetes features, such as distributed tracing.
