Found discrepancy in the details mentioned in the documentation regarding the file descriptor and memory leak bug.

Description

How can the docs be improved?

Going through this Issue #4296, it mentions that there is a memory leak in Karpenter v0.29.1 which was fixed in v0.29.2. Someone also mentions within that ticket that rolling back to v0.29.0 actually resolves this issue.

However, going through the Upgrade guide for v0.29.0+, the warning says the follows:

Karpenter v0.29.0 contains a file descriptor and memory leak bug that leads to Karpenter getting OOMKilled and restarting at the point that it hits its memory or file descriptor limit. Karpenter >v0.29.1 fixes this leak.

My current assumption/understanding is that the information within the ticket is correct (i.e. bug is found in v0.29.1 and fixed in v0.29.2) and that this is just a small mistake within the documentation.

But please do let me know If my assumption/understanding is incorrect.

Thank you!

@mooneeb your assumption is correct. The file descriptor leak was found in v0.29.1 and is fixed in v0.29.2
