SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the patching of GKE system and infrastructure pods to tolerate the SUNK lock taint, ensuring system stability and access.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Patching: Applies the necessary tolerations to GKE system pods to prevent eviction due to the SUNK lock taint.
  • Post-Deployment: Run after initial SUNK deployment, GKE upgrades, or when system access issues arise.
  • Use Case: If you encounter issues with kubectl exec or kubectl logs failing, this Skill can help by applying the required tolerations.

Quick Start

Run the script to patch GKE system tolerations: bash infrastructure/gke/patch-gke-tolerations.sh

FAQPage Schema
Why do kubectl exec and kubectl logs fail after a GKE upgrade?

GKE system pods require tolerations for the SUNK lock taint to prevent eviction and maintain cluster stability. Automating toleration patching ensures system pods survive post-deployment scenarios and GKE upgrades without manual intervention.

How do I apply SUNK lock tolerations to GKE system pods?

You apply SUNK lock tolerations by running the automated patching script using bash infrastructure/gke/patch-gke-tolerations.sh. This modifies Kubernetes system resources to tolerate the lock taint.

When should I patch GKE system tolerations for the SUNK lock taint?

Patch GKE system tolerations after initial SUNK deployment, during GKE upgrades, or when system access issues arise. This ensures infrastructure pods tolerate the lock taint and maintain cluster stability.

Do I need Kubernetes resource knowledge to patch GKE system tolerations?

Yes, you need knowledge of Kubernetes resources and access to the GKE cluster to patch system tolerations. This ensures you can safely apply the necessary tolerations to infrastructure pods for the SUNK lock taint.

What is the best way to automate GKE system tolerations patching for SUNK?

The best way to automate GKE system tolerations patching is using a dedicated script that applies the required tolerations to system pods. This prevents manual errors and ensures infrastructure pods survive the SUNK lock taint.
