Kubeflow Pipelines is a comprehensive solution for deploying and managing machine learning workflows on Kubernetes. It allows users to define, orchestrate, and automate machine learning tasks, making it easier to manage complex ML workflows. The tool is designed to help data scientists and engineers streamline their ML processes, from data preparation to model deployment.
When running a pipeline in Kubeflow, you might encounter an error where a pod is evicted. This is typically indicated by the status PodEvicted in the Kubernetes dashboard or logs. This symptom suggests that the pod was terminated unexpectedly, which can disrupt the workflow execution.
PodEvicted status.The PodEvicted status occurs when a pod is forcibly removed from a node due to resource constraints. This can happen if the node runs out of memory or storage, or if the pod exceeds its resource limits. Kubernetes prioritizes resource allocation and may evict pods to ensure the stability of the cluster.
To address the PodEvicted issue, you need to adjust resource allocations and ensure the cluster can handle the workload. Follow these steps:
Use the following command to check the resource usage of nodes and pods:
kubectl top nodeskubectl top pods
These commands provide insights into which nodes or pods are consuming the most resources.
If a pod is consistently being evicted, consider increasing its resource limits. Edit the pod's configuration to allocate more CPU or memory:
kubectl edit deployment
Adjust the resources section to increase limits and requests.
Ensure your cluster has sufficient resources to handle the workload. You may need to add more nodes or optimize existing ones. Consider using tools like Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler to automatically adjust the number of nodes.
