Kubernetes v1.16 [alpha]
The kube-scheduler can be configured to enable bin packing of resources along with extended resources using RequestedToCapacityRatioResourceAllocation
priority function. Priority functions can be used to fine-tune the kube-scheduler as per custom needs.
Before Kubernetes 1.15, Kube-scheduler used to allow scoring nodes based on the request to capacity ratio of primary resources like CPU and Memory. Kubernetes 1.16 added a new parameter to the priority function that allows the users to specify the resources along with weights for each resource to score nodes based on the request to capacity ratio. This allows users to bin pack extended resources by using appropriate parameters improves the utilization of scarce resources in large clusters. The behavior of the RequestedToCapacityRatioResourceAllocation
priority function can be controlled by a configuration option called requestedToCapacityRatioArguments
. This argument consists of two parameters shape
and resources
. Shape allows the user to tune the function as least requested or most requested based on utilization
and score
values. Resources
consists of name
which specifies the resource to be considered during scoring and weight
specify the weight of each resource.
Below is an example configuration that sets requestedToCapacityRatioArguments
to bin packing behavior for extended resources intel.com/foo
and intel.com/bar
{
"kind" : "Policy",
"apiVersion" : "v1",
...
"priorities" : [
...
{
"name": "RequestedToCapacityRatioPriority",
"weight": 2,
"argument": {
"requestedToCapacityRatioArguments": {
"shape": [
{"utilization": 0, "score": 0},
{"utilization": 100, "score": 10}
],
"resources": [
{"name": "intel.com/foo", "weight": 3},
{"name": "intel.com/bar", "weight": 5}
]
}
}
}
],
}
This feature is disabled by default
shape
is used to specify the behavior of the RequestedToCapacityRatioPriority
function.
{"utilization": 0, "score": 0},
{"utilization": 100, "score": 10}
The above arguments give the node a score of 0 if utilization is 0% and 10 for utilization 100%, thus enabling bin packing behavior. To enable least requested the score value must be reversed as follows.
{"utilization": 0, "score": 100},
{"utilization": 100, "score": 0}
resources
is an optional parameter which by defaults is set to:
"resources": [
{"name": "CPU", "weight": 1},
{"name": "Memory", "weight": 1}
]
It can be used to add extended resources as follows:
"resources": [
{"name": "intel.com/foo", "weight": 5},
{"name": "CPU", "weight": 3},
{"name": "Memory", "weight": 1}
]
The weight parameter is optional and is set to 1 if not specified. Also, the weight cannot be set to a negative value.
This section is intended for those who want to understand the internal details of this feature. Below is an example of how the node score is calculated for a given set of values.
