I'm trying to complete "Lab 4.2. Working with CPU and Memory Constraints" and faced following troubles.

I've deployed "hog" successfully:

$ kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

But could not get logs for it:

$ kubectl --namespace default logs hog-775c7c858f-c2nmk
Error from server (NotFound): the server could not find the requested resource ( pods/log hog-775c7c858f-c2nmk)

Could anybody help?

    Hi @Gim6626,

    Can you try running kubectl logs hog-775c7c858f-c2nmk instead? To provide the default namespace name is not necessary for kubectl commands. If desired, however, you may try to add the namespace after the logs command, as such kubectl logs hog-775c7c858f-c2nmk --namespace default.

    Regards,
    -Chris

    Hi! @chrispokorni,

    I've tried what you've asked. Same result:

    $ kubectl logs hog-775c7c858f-c2nmk
Error from server (NotFound): the server could not find the requested resource ( pods/log hog-775c7c858f-c2nmk)

    Hi @Gim6626,

    After creating the hog deployment, can you run a kubectl describe pod hog-<TAB>? Can you provide its output?

    Also, what are the specs of your nodes (CPU and MEM)? What are the specified values of the MEM requests and limits for the hog application?

    Regards,
    -Chris

    @chrispokorni, thank you for trying to help me. I really appreciate it.

    Here is requested describe output (with requests and limits info both there):

    Noticed that limits may be too high, recreated hog with Limits/memory = 1Gi and Requests/memory=500Mi - same thing:

    $ kubectl get pods
NAME                   READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
hog-6b46648d4f-wxxdf   1/1     Running   0          4m6s
$ kubectl logs hog-6b46648d4f-wxxdf
Error from server (NotFound): the server could not find the requested resource ( pods/log hog-6b46648d4f-wxxdf)
$ kubectl describe pod hog-6b46648d4f-wxxdf | grep -B 1 memory
    Limits:
      memory:  1Gi
    Requests:
      memory:     500Mi

    Funny fact actually. Pod exists in list, it autocompletes, but "NotFound".

    Hi @Gim6626,

    The failed volume mount from the warning message may be the result of the server-2's kubelet not being able to resolve a required dependency.

    With MEM at a bare minimum, how much CPU is assigned to each VM?
    Have you noticed any changes after your VM/nodes are rebooted?

    Regards,
    -Chris

    I've got 6-core 12-thread MacBook Pro as host and for each node (master, worker) I've assigned 2 CPU.
    After reboot/new container start - nothing interesting.

    Now I'm at lab 8.1 and have created pod shell-demo, it exists at the list:

    $ kubectl get pods
NAME                   READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
busybox                0/1     Error     0          2d18h
curlpod                1/1     Running   6          7d
hog-6b46648d4f-bwjw2   1/1     Running   3          42h
shell-demo             1/1     Running   0          3m30s

    but:

    $ kubectl exec shell-demo -- /bin/bash -c'echo $ilike'
error: unable to upgrade connection: pod does not exist

    Looks like related thing.

    Got it after more googling. There was networking error.

    Here is how I've found that something is wrong:

    $ kubectl get nodes -o wide
NAME                       STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION   INTERNAL-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   OS-IMAGE             KERNEL-VERSION       CONTAINER-RUNTIME
k8smaster                  Ready    master   16d   v1.19.1   192.168.56.104   <none>        Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS   4.15.0-141-generic   docker://19.3.6
ubuntu-training-server-2   Ready    <none>   16d   v1.19.1   10.0.2.15        <none>        Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS   4.15.0-141-generic   docker://19.3.6

    First IP is OK, it is internal IP, and second is NAT IP (same for both machines).

    So I've manually set internal IPs (192.168.56.104 for master and 192.168.56.105 for worker) in /etc/kubernetes/kubelet.conf (using KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS=--node-ip=192.168.56.104) and restarted kubelet systemctl restart kubelet.service.

    Hi @Gim6626,

    When there are more than one network interfaces on a node, Kubernetes tends to misbehave. A single bridged adapter for each node should provide you with all the required networking - node-to-node, node-to-internet, and node-to-host/host-to-node connectivity.

    Regards,
    -Chris
