Configuring QoS for a Pod

Scenario

Bandwidth preemption occurs between different containers deployed on the same node, which may cause service jitter. You can configure QoS rate limiting for inter-pod access to prevent this problem.

Notes and Constraints

The following shows constraints on setting the rate limiting for inter-pod access:

Constraint

Tunnel Network

VPC Network

Cloud Native 2.0 Network

Supported versions

All versions

Clusters of v1.19.10 and later

Clusters of v1.19.10 and later

Supported runtime types

Only regular containers (runC as the container runtime) are supported. Secure containers (Kata Containers as the container runtime) are not supported.

Supported pod types

Only non-HostNetwork pods

Supported scenarios

Inter-pod access, pods accessing nodes, and pods accessing services

Constraints

None

None
  • Pods access external cloud service CIDR blocks 100.64.0.0/10 and 214.0.0.0/8.
  • Traffic rate limiting of health check

Value range of rate limit

Only the rate limit in the unit of Mbit/s or Gbit/s is supported, for example, 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s. The minimum value is 1 Mbit/s and the maximum value is 4.29 Gbit/s.

Using kubectl

You can add annotations to a workload to specify its egress and ingress bandwidth. 
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: test
  namespace: default
  labels:
    app: test
spec:
  replicas: 2
  selector:
    matchLabels: 
      app: test
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: test
      annotations:
        kubernetes.io/ingress-bandwidth: 100M
        kubernetes.io/egress-bandwidth: 100M
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: container-1
          image: nginx:alpine
          imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
      imagePullSecrets:
        - name: default-secret
  • kubernetes.io/ingress-bandwidth: ingress bandwidth of the pod
  • kubernetes.io/egress-bandwidth: egress bandwidth of the pod

If these two parameters are not specified, the bandwidth is not limited.

After modifying the ingress or egress bandwidth limit of a pod, restart the container for the modification to take effect. After annotations are modified in a pod not managed by workloads, the container will not be restarted, so the bandwidth limits do not take effect. You can create a pod again or manually restart the container.
