Configuring a Node Pool

Constraints

The default node pool DefaultPool does not support the following management operations.

Configuration Management

CCE allows you to highly customize Kubernetes parameter settings on core components in a cluster. For more information, see kubelet.

This function is supported only in clusters of v1.15 and later. It is not displayed for versions earlier than v1.15.

1. Log in to the CCE console.
2. Click the cluster name to access the cluster console. Choose Nodes in the navigation pane and click the Node Pools tab on the right.
3. Click Manage in the Operation column of the target node pool
4. On the Manage Components page on the right, change the values of Kubernetes parameters.

   Table 1 kubelet

   Item	Parameter	Description	Value	Modification
   CPU management policy	cpu-manager-policy	CPU management policy configuration. For details, see CPU Scheduling. none: disables pods from exclusively occupying CPUs. Select this value if you want a large pool of shareable CPU cores. static: enables pods to exclusively occupy CPUs. Select this value if your workload is sensitive to latency in CPU cache and scheduling. enhanced-static: allows burstable pods to preferentially use CPU cores. Select this value if your workload has huge peak-trough difference and is in the trough state most of the time.	Default: none	None
   QPS for requests to kube-apiserver	kube-api-qps	Number of queries per second for communication with the API server.	Default: 100	None
   Burst for requests to kube-apiserver	kube-api-burst	Maximum number of burst requests sent to the API server per second.	Default: 100	None
   Limit on the pods managed by kubelet	max-pods	Maximum number of pods that can run on a node.	For a CCE standard cluster, the maximum number of pods is determined based on the maximum number of pods on a node.	None
   Limited number of processes in a pod	pod-pids-limit	Maximum number of PIDs that can be used in each pod.	Default: -1, which indicates that the number of PIDs is not limited	None
   Whether to use a local IP address as a node's ClusterDNS	with-local-dns	The default ENI IP address of the node will be automatically added to the node's kubelet configuration as the preferred DNS address.	Default: false	None
   QPS limit on creating events	event-qps	Number of events that can be generated per second.	Default: 5	None
   Allowed unsafe sysctls	allowed-unsafe-sysctls	Insecure system configuration allowed. Starting from v1.17.17, CCE enables pod security policies for kube-apiserver. Add corresponding configurations to allowedUnsafeSysctls of a pod security policy to make the policy take effect. (This configuration is not required for clusters earlier than v1.17.17.) For details, see Example of Enabling Unsafe Sysctls in Pod Security Policy.	Default: []	None
   Node oversubscription	over-subscription-resource	Whether to enable node oversubscription. If this parameter is set to true, node oversubscription is enabled on nodes.	For clusters of versions earlier than v1.23.9-r0 or v1.25.4-r0: enabled (true) by default Disabled by default if the cluster version is v1.23.9-r0, v1.25.4-r0, v1.27-r0, v1.28.1-r0, or later	None
   Hybrid deployment	colocation	Whether to enable hybrid deployment on nodes. If this parameter is set to true, hybrid deployment is enabled on nodes.	For clusters of versions earlier than v1.23.9-r0 or v1.25.4-r0: enabled (true) by default Disabled by default if the cluster version is v1.23.9-r0, v1.25.4-r0, v1.27-r0, v1.28.1-r0, or later	None
   Topology management policy	topology-manager-policy	Set the topology management policy. Valid values are as follows: restricted: kubelet accepts only pods that achieve optimal NUMA alignment on the requested resources. best-effort: kubelet preferentially selects pods that implement NUMA alignment on CPU and device resources. none (default): The topology management policy is disabled. single-numa-node: kubelet allows only pods that are aligned to the same NUMA node in terms of CPU and device resources.	Default: none	NOTICE: Modifying topology-manager-policy and topology-manager-scope will restart kubelet, and the resource allocation of pods will be recalculated based on the modified policy. In this case, running pods may restart or even fail to receive any resources.
   Topology management scope	topology-manager-scope	Configure the resource alignment granularity of the topology management policy. Valid values are as follows: container (default) pod	Default: container
   Specified DNS configuration file	resolv-conf	DNS resolution configuration file specified by the container	Default: null	None
   Timeout for all runtime requests except long-running requests	runtime-request-timeout	Timeout interval of all runtime requests except long-running requests (pull, logs, exec, and attach).	Default: 2m0s	This parameter is available only in clusters of v1.21.10-r0, v1.23.8-r0, v1.25.3-r0, or later versions.
   Whether to allow kubelet to pull only one image at a time	serialize-image-pulls	Pull an image in serial mode. false: recommended configuration so that an image can be pulled in parallel mode to improve pod startup. true: allows images to be pulled in serial mode.	Enabled by default if the cluster version is earlier than v1.21.12-r0, v1.23.11-r0, v1.27.3-r0, v1.28.1-r0 or v1.25.6-r0 Disabled by default if the cluster version is v1.21.12-r0, v1.23.11-r0, v1.25.6-r0, v1.27.3-r0, v1.28.1-r0, or later	This parameter is available only in clusters of v1.21.10-r0, v1.23.8-r0, v1.25.3-r0, or later versions.
   Image repository pull limit per second	registry-pull-qps	QPS upper limit of an image repository.	Default: 5 The value ranges from 1 to 50.	This parameter is available only in clusters of v1.21.10-r0, v1.23.8-r0, v1.25.3-r0, or later versions.
   Upper limit of burst image pull	registry-burst	Maximum number of burst image pulls.	Default: 10 The value ranges from 1 to 100 and must be greater than or equal to the value of registry-pull-qps.	This parameter is available only in clusters of v1.21.10-r0, v1.23.8-r0, v1.25.3-r0, or later versions.
   Node memory reservation	system-reserved-mem	System memory reservation reserves memory resources for OS system daemons such as sshd and udev.	Default value: automatically calculated, which varies depending on node flavors. For details, see Node Resource Reservation Policy. Optional configurations are as follows: Automatically calculated reserved memory: Use this function for node stability. The reserved value varies depending on node flavors. For details, see Node Resource Reservation Policy. Custom reserved memory: The reserved node memory is customized.	The sum of kube-reserved-mem and system-reserved-mem must be less than 50% of the minimum memory of nodes in the node pool.
   	kube-reserved-mem	Kubernetes memory reservation reserves memory resources for Kubernetes daemons such kubelet and container runtime.
   Hard eviction	memory.available	Available memory on a node.	The value is fixed at 100 MiB.	For details, see Node-pressure Eviction. NOTICE: Exercise caution when modifying an eviction configuration item. Improper configuration may cause pods to be frequently evicted or fail to be evicted when the node is overloaded. kubelet can identify the following specific file system identifiers: nodefs: main file system of a node. It is used for local disk volumes, emptyDir volumes that are not supported by memory, and log storage. For example, nodefs contains /var/lib/kubelet/. imagefs: file system partition used by a container engine.
