Asked by Attila Kovacs
Hello!
We have DOKS cluster with 2 node. One node has many cronjobs. Now the pods in that node stuck in pending state. No more disk space in /var/lib/containerd.
We had a similar problem in January (in 2 clusters at the same time). They recreated node. Installed doks-debug. Now we have the same problem again adn again. The support says: Increase Cluster Resources or Enable Autoscaling, Adjust CronJob Frequency, etc…
Maybe not cleaning the old containers and logs automatically? Garbage collection is not enabled? This is a PaaS system.
This cluster running in ams3, 1.30.2-do.0. (We can update it, but will it help?)
What can we do?
Thanks for helping!
