Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Setting any of the ClusterAutoscaler resource values "balanceSimilarNodeGroups", "ignoreDaemonsetsUtilization", or "skipNodesWithLocalStorage" to "false". Consequence: The false setting is not respected when the cluster autoscaler is deployed. Fix: The cluster-autoscaler-operator has been patched to ensure these values are read properly when deploying the cluster-autoscaler. Result: The cluster-autoscaler now properly reads the "false" value.

Description Marcel Härri 2020-07-08 12:33:49 UTC 
There is an example to set the following option:

cluster-autoscaler-operator/examples/clusterautoscaler.yaml

Line 9 in 9c4a47c

 skipNodesWithLocalStorage: true 

However, when setting this option to false nothing happens. The deployment is not getting updated.

This is because the configuration logic is flawed:

cluster-autoscaler-operator/pkg/controller/clusterautoscaler/clusterautoscaler.go

Lines 95 to 97 in 9c4a47c

 if ca.Spec.SkipNodesWithLocalStorage != nil && *ca.Spec.SkipNodesWithLocalStorage { 
 	args = append(args, SkipNodesWithLocalStorage.String()) 
 } 

But you want the autoscaler to run with --skip-nodes-with-local-storage=false if you want to scale down nodes with pods using emptyDir.


There is already a fix available: https://github.com/openshift/cluster-autoscaler-operator/pull/156

It would be nice to have it backported at least down to 4.4

thanks for posting this Marcel, i am taking a look at the issue and pull request.
Comment 2 Michael McCune 2020-07-28 21:02:20 UTC 
we need to get another review on this from our team, but we should be able to merge it soon.

Verified
clusterversion: 4.6.0-0.nightly-2020-08-05-013608
spec:
  balanceSimilarNodeGroups: false
  skipNodesWithLocalStorage: false
  ignoreDaemonsetsUtilization: false
$ oc edit deploy cluster-autoscaler-default
        - --balance-similar-node-groups=false
        - --ignore-daemonsets-utilization=false
        - --skip-nodes-with-local-storage=false
spec:
  balanceSimilarNodeGroups: true
  skipNodesWithLocalStorage: true
  ignoreDaemonsetsUtilization: true
        - --balance-similar-node-groups=true
        - --ignore-daemonsets-utilization=true
        - --skip-nodes-with-local-storage=true
Comment 6 Marcel Härri 2020-08-05 14:33:54 UTC 
Can we get this backported to 4.4 / 4.5 ?
Comment 7 Michael McCune 2020-08-05 16:06:57 UTC 
i think this is a good candidate for backport, it should be possible to do this sprint.
Comment 8 Michael McCune 2020-08-17 19:15:16 UTC 
planning to get this backported during the upcoming sprint.
