GKE针对小型Node.js应用程序窗口的CPU不足

Question

So on GKE I have a Node.js app which for each pod uses about: CPU(cores): 5m, MEMORY: 100Mi

However I am only able to deploy 1 pod of it per node. I am using the GKE n1-standard-1 cluster which has 1 vCPU, 3.75 GB per node.

So in order to get 2 pods of app up total = CPU(cores): 10m, MEMORY: 200Mi , it requires another entire +1 node = 2 nodes = 2 vCPU, 7.5 GB to make it work. If I try to deploy those 2 pods on the same single node, I get insufficient CPU error.

I have a feeling I should actually be able to run a handful of pod replicas (like 3 replicas and more) on 1 node of f1-micro (1 vCPU, 0.6 GB) or f1-small (1 vCPU, 1.7 GB), and that I am way overprovisioned here, and wasting my money.

But I am not sure why I seem so restricted by insufficient CPU . Is there some config I need to change? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Answer 1

After the deployment, check the node capacities with kubectl describe nodes . For eg: In the code example at the bottom of the answer:

Allocatable cpu: 1800m

Already used by pods in kube-system namespace: 100m + 260m + +100m + 200m + 20m = 680m

Which means 1800m - 680m = 1120m is left for you to use

So, if your pod or pods request for more than 1120m cpu, they will not fit on this node

So in order to get 2 pods of app up total = CPU(cores): 10m, MEMORY: 200Mi, it requires another entire +1 node = 2 nodes = 2 vCPU, 7.5 GB to make it work. If I try to deploy those 2 pods on the same single node, I get insufficient CPU error.

If you do the exercise described above, you will find your answer. In case, there is enough cpu for your pods to use and still you are getting insufficient CPU error, check if you are setting the cpu request and limit params correctly. See here

If you do all the above and still it's an issue. Then, I think in your case, what could be happening is that you are allocating 5-10m cpu for your node app which is too less cpu to allocate. Try increasing that may be to 50m cpu.

I have a feeling I should actually be able to run a handful of pod replicas (like 3 replicas and more) on 1 node of f1-micro (1 vCPU, 0.6 GB) or f1-small (1 vCPU, 1.7 GB), and that I am way overprovisioned here, and wasting my money.

Again, do the exercise describe above to conclude that
