CrashLoopBackOff OOMKilled for kustomize-controller #725

sofiasikandar123 · 2022-09-09T18:08:56Z

We created a Flux configuration in our Kubernetes cluster. We keep getting an issue with the Kustomize-Controller pod getting stuck in a CrashLoopBackOff state. The logs aren't pointing to any particular root cause for the crash.

Pod status:

Can you post here the logs from the previous container instance, kubectl logs --previous

sofiasikandar123 · 2022-09-15T15:04:32Z

Here they are. Thoughts?

I see no panic nor other errors in the logs you posted, something else must be going on. Can please post here:

Hmm really strange, there are no events for the deployment. Could it be that the Kubernetes node has issues? Please delete the pod then after the new one starts, as soon as it fails, post here kubectl describe pod.

azure-claudiu · 2022-09-15T16:38:04Z

Hi, I'm working with Sofia on this case. What happens with the kustomize-controller pod is that it actually gets OOMKilled. I tried to change its memory limit (from 1 GiB to 2 GiB), and still runs out of memory. I confirmed it happens because of memory ballooning by attaching to the pod during the short time that it runs, and noticing after about 20 seconds that the kustomize-controller process inside the container goes from 700 MiB to more than 3.2 GiB, and then the container gets killed with exit code 137.

Here's a snippet of describe pod kustomize-controller:

    State:          Waiting
      Reason:       CrashLoopBackOff
    Last State:     Terminated

      Finished:     Mon, 12 Sep 2022 14:24:12 +0000

stefanprodan · 2022-09-15T16:54:40Z

@azure-claudiu To fix the memory leak we need to reproduce it first. Can you please create a repo with the YAML files that make the controller behave like this?

azure-claudiu · 2022-09-15T17:13:47Z

Just to clarify, we created these Flux configs using an Azure extension. Steps are basically these here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-arc/kubernetes/tutorial-use-gitops-flux2

Would you need just the yaml files, or also the flux configs created by this extension?

sofiasikandar123 · 2022-09-15T17:23:51Z

This is our file structure. There are three yaml files in our base/mongodb folder.

base/
  mongodb/
    kustomization.yaml
    mongodb-deployment.yaml
    mongodb-service.yaml

kustomization.yaml:

apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
namespace: default
resources:
  - mongo-deployment.yaml
  - mongo-service.yaml

mongo-deployment.yaml:

kind: Deployment
apiVersion: apps/v1
metadata:
  name: mongodb
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: mongodb
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: mongodb
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: mongodb-container
          image: mongo:5.0
          imagePullPolicy: Always
          ports:
            - containerPort: 27017
          env:
            - name: MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME
              value: admin
            - name: MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD
              valueFrom:
                secretKeyRef:
                  name: mongo-creds
                  key: admin-password

mongo-service.yaml

kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: database
spec:
  type: ClusterIP
  selector:
    app: mongodb
  ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 27017
      targetPort: 27017

Lastly, we created a GitOps configuration with the following command:

az k8s-configuration flux create -g YOUR_RESOURCE_GROUP \
-c YOUR_ARC_ENABLED_CLUSTER \
-n cluster-configs \
--namespace cluster-configs \
-t connectedClusters \
--scope cluster \
-u https://your.git.repository/repo \
--https-user=YOUR_USERNAME \
--https-key=YOUR_PASSWORD \
--branch YOUR_BRANCH_NAME \
--kustomization name=mongodb path=/base/mongodb prune=true

stefanprodan · 2022-09-15T20:24:29Z

With those files I can’t reproduce the OOM. Can you please swap the image with the upstream one and see if it fails the same? If it does, then please do a heap dump and share with me. Set the controller image, in the its deployment to: ghcr.io/fluxcd/kustomize-controller:v0.28.0.

azure-claudiu · 2022-09-15T20:55:08Z

I changed the image; it still leaks memory: https://fluxissues1.blob.core.windows.net/videos/top-102.mp4

Here's a heap dump every second (roughly), until it dies: https://fluxissues1.blob.core.windows.net/heaps/heap-b.zip

stefanprodan · 2022-09-16T07:52:32Z

Can you please create a zip of your repo and share it with me, I also need the GitRepository and Flux all Kustomizations manifests from the cluster. You can reach out to me on CNCF Slack if the repo contains sensitive information and share it privately.

stefanprodan · 2022-09-16T08:20:37Z

I suspect that one of repositories used here is very large and that may cause the OOM as we need to load the content in memory to verify the checksum. Can you please exec into source-controller and post the output of:

$ kubectl -n flux-system exec -it source-controller-7b66c9d497-r4d68 -- sh
~ $ du -sh /data/*
160.0K	/data/helmchart
252.0K	/data/helmrepository
88.0K	/data/ocirepository

stefanprodan · 2022-09-16T11:17:07Z

I managed to reproduce the OOM with a repo containing over 100MB of dummy files. I guess we need to reject such an artifact in source-controller and error out to tell people to use .sourceingore to exclude files that are not made for Flux.

azure-claudiu · 2022-09-16T14:11:35Z

We definitely have a directory in the source tree that contains large ML model files. Here's the output from our source-controller:

~ $ du -sh /data/*
681.6M  /data/gitrepository

stefanprodan · 2022-09-16T14:25:17Z

Ok then mystery solved, add a .sourceignore file to that repo and exclude all paths which don't contain Kubernetes YAMLs. But still this is very problematic to download GB of unrelated data in-cluster, I suggest you create a dedicated repo for that app called <app-name>-deploy with only YAMLs and make Flux look at that.

A better option would be to push the manifests from that repo to ACR and let Flux sync the manifest from there, see https://fluxcd.io/flux/cheatsheets/oci-artifacts/

sofiasikandar123 · 2022-09-19T19:37:03Z
