Chapter 42. Analyzing Cluster Capacity


42.1. Overview

As a cluster administrator, you can use the hypercc cluster-capacity tool to view the number of pods that can be scheduled to increase the current resources before they become exhausted, and to ensure any future pods can be scheduled. This capacity comes from an individual node host in a cluster, and includes CPU, memory, disk space, and others.

The hypercc cluster-capacity tool simulates a sequence of scheduling decisions to determine how many instances of an input pod can be scheduled on the cluster before it is exhausted of resources to provide a more accurate estimation.

Note

The remaining allocatable capacity is a rough estimation, because it does not count all of the resources being distributed among nodes. It analyzes only the remaining resources and estimates the available capacity that is still consumable in terms of a number of instances of a pod with given requirements that can be scheduled in a cluster.

Also, pods might only have scheduling support on particular sets of nodes based on its selection and affinity criteria. As a result, the estimation of which remaining pods a cluster can schedule can be difficult.

You can run the hypercc cluster-capacity analysis tool as a stand-alone utility from the command line, or as a job in a pod inside an OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Running it as job inside of a pod enables you to run it multiple times without intervention.

42.2. Running Cluster Capacity Analysis on the Command Line

Install the openshift-enterprise-cluster-capacity RPM package to get the tool. To run the tool on the command line:

$ hypercc cluster-capacity --kubeconfig <path-to-kubeconfig> \
    --podspec <path-to-pod-spec>

The --kubeconfig option indicates your Kubernetes configuration file, and the --podspec option indicates a sample pod specification file, which the tool uses for estimating resource usage. The podspec specifies its resource requirements as limits or requests. The hypercc cluster-capacity tool takes the pod’s resource requirements into account for its estimation analysis.

An example of the pod specification input is:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: small-pod
  labels:
    app: guestbook
    tier: frontend
spec:
  containers:
  - name: php-redis
    image: gcr.io/google-samples/gb-frontend:v4
    imagePullPolicy: Always
    resources:
      limits:
        cpu: 150m
        memory: 100Mi
      requests:
        cpu: 150m
        memory: 100Mi

You can also add the --verbose option to output a detailed description of how many pods can be scheduled on each node in the cluster:

$ hypercc cluster-capacity --kubeconfig <path-to-kubeconfig> \
    --podspec <path-to-pod-spec> --verbose

The output will look similar to the following:

small-pod pod requirements:
	- CPU: 150m
	- Memory: 100Mi

The cluster can schedule 52 instance(s) of the pod small-pod.

Termination reason: Unschedulable: No nodes are available that match all of the
following predicates:: Insufficient cpu (2).

Pod distribution among nodes:
small-pod
	- 192.168.124.214: 26 instance(s)
	- 192.168.124.120: 26 instance(s)

In the above example, the number of estimated pods that can be scheduled onto the cluster is 52.

42.3. Running Cluster Capacity as a Job Inside of a Pod

Running the cluster capacity tool as a job inside of a pod has the advantage of being able to be run multiple times without needing user intervention. Running the cluster capacity tool as a job involves using a ConfigMap.

  1. Create the cluster role:

    $ cat << EOF| oc create -f -
    kind: ClusterRole
    apiVersion: v1
    metadata:
      name: cluster-capacity-role
    rules:
    - apiGroups: [""]
      resources: ["pods", "nodes", "persistentvolumeclaims", "persistentvolumes", "services"]
      verbs: ["get", "watch", "list"]
    EOF
  2. Create the service account:

    $ oc create sa cluster-capacity-sa
  3. Add the role to the service account:

    $ oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user cluster-capacity-role \
        system:serviceaccount:default:cluster-capacity-sa 1
    1
    If the service account is not in the default project, replace default with the project name.
  4. Define and create the pod specification:

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Pod
    metadata:
      name: small-pod
      labels:
        app: guestbook
        tier: frontend
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: php-redis
        image: gcr.io/google-samples/gb-frontend:v4
        imagePullPolicy: Always
        resources:
          limits:
            cpu: 150m
            memory: 100Mi
          requests:
            cpu: 150m
            memory: 100Mi
  5. The cluster capacity analysis is mounted in a volume using a ConfigMap named cluster-capacity-configmap to mount input pod spec file pod.yaml into a volume test-volume at the path /test-pod.

    If you haven’t created a ConfigMap, create one before creating the job:

    $ oc create configmap cluster-capacity-configmap \
        --from-file=pod.yaml
  6. Create the job using the below example of a job specification file:

    apiVersion: batch/v1
    kind: Job
    metadata:
      name: cluster-capacity-job
    spec:
      parallelism: 1
      completions: 1
      template:
        metadata:
          name: cluster-capacity-pod
        spec:
            containers:
            - name: cluster-capacity
              image: registry.redhat.io/openshift3/ose-cluster-capacity
              imagePullPolicy: "Always"
              volumeMounts:
              - mountPath: /test-pod
                name: test-volume
              env:
              - name: CC_INCLUSTER 1
                value: "true"
              command:
              - "/bin/sh"
              - "-ec"
              - |
                /bin/cluster-capacity --podspec=/test-pod/pod.yaml --verbose
            restartPolicy: "Never"
            serviceAccountName: cluster-capacity-sa
            volumes:
            - name: test-volume
              configMap:
                name: cluster-capacity-configmap
    1
    A required environment variable letting the cluster capacity tool know that it is running inside a cluster as a pod.
    The pod.yaml key of the ConfigMap is the same as the pod specification file name, though it is not required. By doing this, the input pod spec file can be accessed inside the pod as /test-pod/pod.yaml.
  7. Run the cluster capacity image as a job in a pod:

    $ oc create -f cluster-capacity-job.yaml
  8. Check the job logs to find the number of pods that can be scheduled in the cluster:

    $ oc logs jobs/cluster-capacity-job
    small-pod pod requirements:
            - CPU: 150m
            - Memory: 100Mi
    
    The cluster can schedule 52 instance(s) of the pod small-pod.
    
    Termination reason: Unschedulable: No nodes are available that match all of the
    following predicates:: Insufficient cpu (2).
    
    Pod distribution among nodes:
    small-pod
            - 192.168.124.214: 26 instance(s)
            - 192.168.124.120: 26 instance(s)
