Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. It automates the deployment of the desired application states in the specified target environments. Argo CD monitors applications continuously and ensures that the live state matches the desired state defined in Git repositories.
When using Argo CD, you might encounter an error stating "Application resource limit exceeded". This error typically manifests when deploying applications that require more resources than what is available or allowed in the namespace.
In the Argo CD UI or logs, you might see error messages indicating that the application cannot be deployed due to resource constraints. This can halt your deployment process and prevent applications from running as expected.
The error "Application resource limit exceeded" occurs when the resource requests or limits defined for an application exceed the available resources in the Kubernetes namespace. Each namespace can have specific resource quotas that restrict the amount of CPU and memory that can be consumed.
Resource quotas are a way to limit the resource consumption per namespace. They ensure that applications do not consume more resources than what is allocated, preventing resource starvation for other applications.
To resolve the "Application resource limit exceeded" issue, you need to adjust the resource requests/limits or increase the namespace limits. Here are the steps to follow:
First, verify the current resource quotas set for the namespace. You can do this by running the following command:
kubectl get resourcequota -n <namespace>
This command will display the current resource limits and usage.
If the application requests more resources than available, consider adjusting the resource requests and limits in your application's manifest file. For example:
resources:
requests:
memory: "512Mi"
cpu: "500m"
limits:
memory: "1Gi"
cpu: "1"
Ensure that the requests and limits are within the available quota.
If adjusting the application resources is not feasible, you may need to increase the namespace's resource quotas. Update the resource quota definition:
apiVersion: v1
kind: ResourceQuota
metadata:
name: <quota-name>
namespace: <namespace>
spec:
hard:
requests.cpu: "2"
requests.memory: "2Gi"
limits.cpu: "4"
limits.memory: "4Gi"
Apply the changes using:
kubectl apply -f <resource-quota-file>
