SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps diagnose and understand the root causes of resource insufficiency issues within Volcano-scheduled workloads, preventing scheduling failures and ensuring efficient cluster resource utilization.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Resource Shortage Diagnosis: Identifies cluster-wide, per-node, or queue-level resource exhaustion.
  • Pod Request Analysis: Examines pod resource requests (CPU, memory, GPU) to pinpoint demands.
  • Node Allocatable Resources: Checks available resources on nodes against pod requirements.
  • Fragmentation Detection: Assesses if resources are fragmented, hindering scheduling.
  • Use Case: When pods are stuck in Pending with Insufficient cpu events, this Skill guides you through checking node capacity, pod requests, and overall cluster utilization to find the bottleneck.

Quick Start

Use the volcano-resource-insufficient skill to diagnose why pods are failing to schedule due to insufficient CPU or memory.

Frequently Asked Questions about volcano-resource-insufficient

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Why are pods stuck in Pending with Insufficient cpu in Volcano?

Volcano pods remain Pending with insufficient CPU because node allocatable capacity cannot meet pod resource requests. This Skill analyzes per-node usage, cluster-wide exhaustion, and queue-level limits to pinpoint the exact scheduling bottleneck.

How do I diagnose resource fragmentation preventing Volcano scheduling?

You diagnose Volcano resource fragmentation by assessing available node resources against pod requirements. This Skill evaluates whether scattered CPU and memory allocations on nodes are hindering the scheduler from placing pending workloads.

How to check node allocatable resources against pod requests in Kubernetes?

You check node allocatable resources against pod requests in Kubernetes by examining CPU, memory, and GPU demands of pending pods. This Skill compares those requests against current node capacity and usage to resolve scheduling failures.

Does Volcano resource management support queue-level exhaustion analysis?

Volcano resource management does support queue-level exhaustion analysis. This Skill identifies whether resource insufficiency stems from cluster-wide shortages, per-node limits, or specific queue-level resource quotas causing scheduling failures.

What is the best way to resolve memory exhaustion in Volcano-scheduled workloads?

The best way to resolve memory exhaustion in Volcano-scheduled workloads is to analyze pod memory requests against node allocatable capacity. This Skill detects whether the shortage is cluster-wide, per-node, or caused by fragmentation.
