Modifying Node Pool Configurations¶
Notes and Constraints¶
The default node pool does not support the following management operations.
Configuration Management¶
CCE allows you to highly customize Kubernetes parameter settings on core components in a cluster. For more information, see kubelet.
This function is supported only in clusters of v1.15 and later. It is not displayed for versions earlier than v1.15.
Log in to the CCE console.
Click the cluster name to access the cluster console. Choose Nodes in the navigation pane. In the right pane, click the Node Pools tab.
Click Manage in the Operation column of the target node pool
On the Manage Components page on the right, change the values of Kubernetes parameters.
Table 1 kubelet¶ Item
Parameter
Description
Value
Modification
CPU management policy
cpu-manager-policy
CPU management policy configuration. For details, see CPU Scheduling.
none: disables pods from exclusively occupying CPUs. Select this value if you want a large pool of shareable CPU cores.
static: enables pods to exclusively occupy CPUs. Select this value if your workload is sensitive to latency in CPU cache and scheduling.
enhanced-static: allows burstable pods to preferentially use CPU cores. Select this value if your workload has huge peak-trough difference and is in the trough state most of the time.
Default: none
None
QPS for requests to kube-apiserver
kube-api-qps
Number of queries per second for communication with the API server.
Default: 100
None
Burst for requests to kube-apiserver
kube-api-burst
Maximum number of burst requests sent to the API server per second.
Default: 100
None
Limit on the pods managed by kubelet
max-pods
Maximum number of pods that can run on a node.
For a CCE standard cluster, the maximum number of pods is determined based on the maximum number of pods on a node.
None
Limited number of processes in a pod
pod-pids-limit
Maximum number of PIDs that can be used in each pod.
Default: -1, which indicates that the number of PIDs is not limited
None
Whether to use a local IP address as a node's ClusterDNS
with-local-dns
The default ENI IP address of the node will be automatically added to the node's kubelet configuration as the preferred DNS address.
Default: false
None
QPS limit on creating events
event-qps
Number of events that can be generated per second.
Default: 5
None
Upper Limit for Burst Events
event-burst
Upper limit for burst event creation. The number of burst events can be temporarily increased to the specified value.
Default: 10
None
Allowed unsafe sysctls
allowed-unsafe-sysctls
Insecure system configuration allowed.
Starting from v1.17.17, CCE enables pod security policies for kube-apiserver. Add corresponding configurations to allowedUnsafeSysctls of a pod security policy to make the policy take effect. (This configuration is not required for clusters earlier than v1.17.17.) For details, see Example of Enabling Unsafe Sysctls in Pod Security Policy.
Default: []
None
Node oversubscription
over-subscription-resource
Whether to enable node oversubscription.
If this parameter is set to true, node oversubscription is enabled on nodes. For details, see Dynamic Resource Oversubscription.
For clusters of versions earlier than v1.23.9-r0 or v1.25.4-r0: enabled (true) by default
Disabled by default if the cluster version is v1.23.9-r0, v1.25.4-r0, v1.27-r0, or later
None
Hybrid deployment
colocation
Whether to enable hybrid deployment on nodes.
If this parameter is set to true, hybrid deployment is enabled on nodes. For details, see Dynamic Resource Oversubscription.
For clusters of versions earlier than v1.23.9-r0 or v1.25.4-r0: enabled (true) by default
Disabled by default if the cluster version is v1.23.9-r0, v1.25.4-r0, v1.27-r0, or later
None
Topology management policy
topology-manager-policy
Set the topology management policy.
Valid values are as follows:
restricted: kubelet accepts only pods that achieve optimal NUMA alignment on the requested resources.
best-effort: kubelet preferentially selects pods that implement NUMA alignment on CPU and device resources.
none (default): The topology management policy is disabled.
single-numa-node: kubelet allows only pods that are aligned to the same NUMA node in terms of CPU and device resources.
Default: none
Important
NOTICE: Modifying topology-manager-policy and topology-manager-scope will restart kubelet, and the resource allocation of pods will be recalculated based on the modified policy. In this case, running pods may restart or even fail to receive any resources.
Topology management scope
topology-manager-scope
Configure the resource alignment granularity of the topology management policy. Valid values are as follows:
container (default)
pod
Default: container
Specified DNS configuration file
