⏺ The new pod is running now. Let me verify the rollout completed:

⏺ Bash(kubectl rollout status deployment/onlyflows-test -n onlyflows-test)

⎿  deployment "onlyflows-test" successfully rolled out

⏺ Fixed! The test deployment is now running.

What happened: The cluster ran out of memory. The rolling update strategy creates new pods before killing old ones, but there wasn't enough memory for both. I deleted the old pod to free memory, allowing the new one to schedule.

Note: Test is now running with 1 replica (scaled down from 2 due to memory constraints). Let me know if you want me to scale it back up or if 1 replica is fine for test.

Node Memory

|-----------------|-------------|----------|-------------|--------------------------|

| kube-worker01-u | ~16 GB | ~15.5 GB | 97% | None (main worker) |

| kube-worker02-u | ~16 GB | ~3 GB | 18% | gitlab-issue (unusable) |

| kube-storage-01 | ~15 GB | ~768 MB | 4% | storage (unusable) |

| kube-master-u | ~12 GB | ~240 MB | 2% | control-plane (unusable) |

Problem: Only kube-worker01-u can run workloads, and it's at 97% memory requests.

Top Memory Consumers (on worker01)

| Namespace | Pod | Memory Request |

|----------------|---------------------|----------------|

| admin | gitlab-webservice | 2 GB |

| admin | gitlab-gitaly | 1 GB |

| admin | vault (x3) | ~1.5 GB total |

| admin | vault-injector (x2) | 1 GB total |

| onlyflows-prod | app (x2) + mongodb | 1.5 GB |

| onlyflows-test | app + mongodb | 1 GB |

| n8n | n8n + postgres | 768 MB |

| onlyflows-dev | app + mongodb | 512 MB |

GitLab alone is using ~5-6 GB. The tainted kube-worker02-u node has 16GB sitting mostly unused due to the gitlab-issue taint.

Want me to check if that taint can be removed from worker02 to double your capacity?

> yes.

Worker02 already picked up some workloads. Want me to scale test back to 2 replicas now that there's room?

> why is master tainted?

⏺ That's standard Kubernetes practice. The node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane taint prevents regular workloads from running on the master node, keeping it dedicated to control plane components:

- kube-apiserver - API server

- kube-scheduler - Pod scheduler

- kube-controller-manager - Controllers

- etcd - Cluster state database

This ensures these critical components always have resources available and aren't competing with application workloads. If the master gets overloaded, you can lose cluster control.

That said, for smaller clusters you can remove it to use those 12 GB:

kubectl taint nodes kube-master-u node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane:NoSchedule-

But it's generally not recommended unless you're resource-constrained and understand the risk. Your two workers with 32 GB total should be plenty now.

> i am wondering if i could reduce the memory and give it to the other nodes

⏺ That depends on your infrastructure. If these are VMs, you could resize them. Let me check what you're running on:

⏺ Bash(kubectl get nodes -o custom-columns="NAME:.metadata.name,OS:.status.nodeInfo.osImage,KERNEL:.statu

s.nodeInfo.kernelVersion" && kubectl get node kube-master-u -o…)

⎿  NAME OS KERNEL

kube-master-u Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS 6.8.0-85-generic

kube-storage-01 Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS 6.8.0-88-generic

… +12 lines (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ These are Ubuntu VMs. You could resize them if you're on Proxmox, VMware, or similar.

Current allocation:

| Node | RAM | Role |

|-----------------|-------|---------------|

| kube-master-u | 12 GB | Control plane |

| kube-worker01-u | 16 GB | Workloads |

| kube-worker02-u | 16 GB | Workloads |

| kube-storage-01 | 15 GB | Storage |

My recommendation: Keep master at 8 GB minimum. etcd and the API server need headroom, especially during cluster operations. You could safely take 4 GB from it.

If you're on Proxmox, the process would be:

1. Shut down master VM

2. Reduce RAM to 8 GB

3. Add 2 GB each to worker01 and worker02

4. Boot everything back up

What hypervisor are you running? I can give more specific steps.

> ok thanks. can you confirm onlyflows-prod is running on two nodes?

⏺ Bash(kubectl get pods -n onlyflows-prod -o

⏺ No - all three prod pods are on worker01 only:

| Pod | Node |

|---------------------------------|-----------------|

| onlyflows-prod-6f946cc59f-7vw86 | kube-worker01-u |

| onlyflows-prod-6f946cc59f-9mj8d | kube-worker01-u |

| onlyflows-prod-mongodb | kube-worker01-u |

They were scheduled before worker02 was untainted. Want me to restart the deployment to spread them across both nodes? Or I can add a pod anti-affinity rule to ensure the replicas always run on different nodes.

> i have a deployment running now in argo. that might spread them.

⏺ Hmm, looks like 3 app pods now (1 old + 2 new). Both new replicas landed on worker02:

| Pod | Node |

| onlyflows-prod-...-4k4gx (new) | worker02 |

| onlyflows-prod-...-br2hz (new) | worker02 |

| mongodb | worker01 |

The new pods both went to worker02 since it had more room. They're not spread across both nodes. If you want HA across nodes, you'd need a pod anti-affinity rule in the Helm chart. Want me to add that?
