# Node Allocatable Resources
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Issue:** https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/13984
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Overview
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Currently Node.Status has Capacity, but no concept of node Allocatable. We need additional
 | 
						|
parameters to serve several purposes:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Kubernetes metrics provides "/docker-daemon", "/kubelet",
 | 
						|
   "/kube-proxy", "/system" etc. raw containers for monitoring system component resource usage
 | 
						|
   patterns and detecting regressions. Eventually we want to cap system component usage to a certain
 | 
						|
   limit / request. However this is not currently feasible due to a variety of reasons including:
 | 
						|
       1. Docker still uses tons of computing resources (See
 | 
						|
          [#16943](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/16943))
 | 
						|
       2. We have not yet defined the minimal system requirements, so we cannot control Kubernetes
 | 
						|
          nodes or know about arbitrary daemons, which can make the system resources
 | 
						|
          unmanageable. Even with a resource cap we cannot do a full resource management on the
 | 
						|
          node, but with the proposed parameters we can mitigate really bad resource over commits
 | 
						|
       3. Usage scales with the number of pods running on the node
 | 
						|
2. For external schedulers (such as mesos, hadoop, etc.) integration, they might want to partition
 | 
						|
   compute resources on a given node, limiting how much Kubelet can use. We should provide a
 | 
						|
   mechanism by which they can query kubelet, and reserve some resources for their own purpose.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Scope of proposal
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This proposal deals with resource reporting through the [`Allocatable` field](#allocatable) for more
 | 
						|
reliable scheduling, and minimizing resource over commitment. This proposal *does not* cover
 | 
						|
resource usage enforcement (e.g. limiting kubernetes component usage), pod eviction (e.g. when
 | 
						|
reservation grows), or running multiple Kubelets on a single node.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Design
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Definitions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. **Node Capacity** - Already provided as
 | 
						|
   [`NodeStatus.Capacity`](https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/HEAD/docs/api-reference/v1/definitions.html#_v1_nodestatus),
 | 
						|
   this is total capacity read from the node instance, and assumed to be constant.
 | 
						|
2. **System-Reserved** (proposed) - Compute resources reserved for processes which are not managed by
 | 
						|
   Kubernetes. Currently this covers all the processes lumped together in the `/system` raw
 | 
						|
   container.
 | 
						|
3. **Kubelet Allocatable** - Compute resources available for scheduling (including scheduled &
 | 
						|
   unscheduled resources). This value is the focus of this proposal. See [below](#api-changes) for
 | 
						|
   more details.
 | 
						|
4. **Kube-Reserved** (proposed) - Compute resources reserved for Kubernetes components such as the
 | 
						|
   docker daemon, kubelet, kube proxy, etc.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### API changes
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Allocatable
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Add `Allocatable` (4) to
 | 
						|
[`NodeStatus`](https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/HEAD/docs/api-reference/v1/definitions.html#_v1_nodestatus):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
type NodeStatus struct {
 | 
						|
  ...
 | 
						|
  // Allocatable represents schedulable resources of a node.
 | 
						|
  Allocatable ResourceList `json:"allocatable,omitempty"`
 | 
						|
  ...
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Allocatable will be computed by the Kubelet and reported to the API server. It is defined to be:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
   [Allocatable] = [Node Capacity] - [Kube-Reserved] - [System-Reserved]
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The scheduler will use `Allocatable` in place of `Capacity` when scheduling pods, and the Kubelet
 | 
						|
will use it when performing admission checks.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*Note: Since kernel usage can fluctuate and is out of kubernetes control, it will be reported as a
 | 
						|
 separate value (probably via the metrics API). Reporting kernel usage is out-of-scope for this
 | 
						|
 proposal.*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Kube-Reserved
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`KubeReserved` is the parameter specifying resources reserved for kubernetes components (4). It is
 | 
						|
provided as a command-line flag to the Kubelet at startup, and therefore cannot be changed during
 | 
						|
normal Kubelet operation (this may change in the [future](#future-work)).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The flag will be specified as a serialized `ResourceList`, with resources defined by the API
 | 
						|
`ResourceName` and values specified in `resource.Quantity` format, e.g.:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
--kube-reserved=cpu=500m,memory=5Mi
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Initially we will only support CPU and memory, but will eventually support more resources. See
 | 
						|
[#16889](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/16889) for disk accounting.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If KubeReserved is not set it defaults to a sane value (TBD) calculated from machine capacity. If it
 | 
						|
is explicitly set to 0 (along with `SystemReserved`), then `Allocatable == Capacity`, and the system
 | 
						|
behavior is equivalent to the 1.1 behavior with scheduling based on Capacity.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### System-Reserved
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In the initial implementation, `SystemReserved` will be functionally equivalent to
 | 
						|
[`KubeReserved`](#system-reserved), but with a different semantic meaning. While KubeReserved
 | 
						|
designates resources set aside for kubernetes components, SystemReserved designates resources set
 | 
						|
aside for non-kubernetes components (currently this is reported as all the processes lumped
 | 
						|
together in the `/system` raw container).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Issues
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Kubernetes reservation is smaller than kubernetes component usage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Solution**: Initially, do nothing (best effort). Let the kubernetes daemons overflow the reserved
 | 
						|
resources and hope for the best. If the node usage is less than Allocatable, there will be some room
 | 
						|
for overflow and the node should continue to function. If the node has been scheduled to capacity
 | 
						|
(worst-case scenario) it may enter an unstable state, which is the current behavior in this
 | 
						|
situation.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In the [future](#future-work) we may set a parent cgroup for kubernetes components, with limits set
 | 
						|
according to `KubeReserved`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Version discrepancy
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**API server / scheduler is not allocatable-resources aware:** If the Kubelet rejects a Pod but the
 | 
						|
  scheduler expects the Kubelet to accept it, the system could get stuck in an infinite loop
 | 
						|
  scheduling a Pod onto the node only to have Kubelet repeatedly reject it. To avoid this situation,
 | 
						|
  we will do a 2-stage rollout of `Allocatable`. In stage 1 (targeted for 1.2), `Allocatable` will
 | 
						|
  be reported by the Kubelet and the scheduler will be updated to use it, but Kubelet will continue
 | 
						|
  to do admission checks based on `Capacity` (same as today). In stage 2 of the rollout (targeted
 | 
						|
  for 1.3 or later), the Kubelet will start doing admission checks based on `Allocatable`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**API server expects `Allocatable` but does not receive it:** If the kubelet is older and does not
 | 
						|
  provide `Allocatable` in the `NodeStatus`, then `Allocatable` will be
 | 
						|
  [defaulted](../../pkg/api/v1/defaults.go) to
 | 
						|
  `Capacity` (which will yield today's behavior of scheduling based on capacity).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### 3rd party schedulers
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The community should be notified that an update to schedulers is recommended, but if a scheduler is
 | 
						|
not updated it falls under the above case of "scheduler is not allocatable-resources aware".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Future work
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Convert kubelet flags to Config API - Prerequisite to (2). See
 | 
						|
   [#12245](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/12245).
 | 
						|
2. Set cgroup limits according KubeReserved - as described in the [overview](#overview)
 | 
						|
3. Report kernel usage to be considered with scheduling decisions.
