We experienced an outage last week. One result of the outage is that all workers over extremely overloaded. Each worker got thousands of containers and volumes, while we have been using "max-active-container" and "max-active-volumes" in container placement strategies.
Then I noticed that, Concourse hard-code "random" strategy for Lidar check containers. While Lidar check containers are recreated every 1 hour, so that in round of recreate, it will create 20K containers.
As a solution, I am adding
--check-container-placement-stragegy
. We will usemax-active-container+max-active-volume+random
for check container placement strategy.Notes to reviewer
