Kueue v0.7.0-rc.2

Changes since v0.6.0:

Urgent Upgrade Notes

(No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

• Added CRD validation rules to AdmissionCheck.

  Requires Kubernetes 1.25 or newer (#1975, @IrvingMg)

• Added CRD validation rules to ClusterQueue.

  Requires Kubernetes 1.25 or newer (#1972, @IrvingMg)

• Added CRD validation rules to LocalQueue.

  Requires Kubernetes 1.25 or newer (#1938, @IrvingMg)

• Added CRD validation rules to ResourceFlavor.

  Requires Kubernetes 1.25 or newer (#1958, @IrvingMg)

• Added CRD validation rules to Workload.

  Requires Kubernetes 1.25 or newer (#2008, @IrvingMg)

• Increased the default value in the .waitForPodsReady.requeuingStrategy.backoffBaseSeconds to 60

  You can configure .waitForPodsReady.requeuingStrategy.backoffBaseSeconds as needed. (#2251, @mbobrovskyi)

• Upgrade RayJob API to v1

  If you use KubeRay older than v1.0.0, you'll have to upgrade your existing installation
  to KubeRay v1.0.0, or any more recent version, that supports KubeRay v1 APIs, for it to
  remain compatible with Kueue. (#1802, @astefanutti)

• When using admission checks, and they are not satisfied yet, the reason for the Admission condition with status=False is now
  UnsatisfiedChecks

  If you were watching for the reason NoChecks in the Admitted condition, use UnsatisfiedChecks instead. (#2150, @trasc)

API Change

• Make ClusterQueue queueingStrategy field mutable. The field can be mutated while there are pending workloads. (#1934, @mimowo)
• User can now pass parameters to ProvisioningRequest using job's annotations (#1869, @PBundyra)

Feature

• A new condition with type Preempted allows to distinguish different reasons for the preemption to happen (#1942, @mimowo)

• Add configuration to register Kinds as being managed by an external Kueue-compatible controller (#2059, @dgrove-oss)

• Add fair sharing when borrowing unused resources from other ClusterQueues in a cohort.

  Fair sharing is based on DRF for usage above nominal quotas.
  When fair sharing is enabled, Kueue prefers to admit workloads from ClusterQueues with the lowest share first.
  Administrators can enable and configure fair sharing preemption using a combination of two policies: LessThanOrEqualtoFinalShare, LessThanInitialShare.

  You can define a fair sharing weight for ClusterQueues. The weight determines how much of the unused resources each ClusterQueue can take in comparison to others. (#2070, @alculquicondor)

• Add metric evicted_workloads: the number of evicted workloads per 'cluster_queue' (#1955, @lowang-bh)

• Add recommended Kubernetes labels to uniquely identify Pods and other resources installed with Kueue.
  The Deployment selector remains unchanged to allow for a seamless upgrade. (#1695, @astefanutti)

• Added validations for the ".internalCertManagement" in the Configuration. (#2169, @tenzen-y)

• Added validations for the "multiKueue.origin", ".multiKueue.gcInterval" and the "multiKueue.workerLostTimeout" in the Configuration. (#2129, @tenzen-y)

• Added validations for the "waitForPodsReady.timeout" in the Configuration. (#2214, @tenzen-y)

• Adds ObservedGeneration in conditions (#1939, @vladikkuzn)

• Adds the BackoffMaxSeconds property to limit the retry period length for re-queing workloads. (#2264, @IrvingMg)

• CLI: Added list workloads command. (#2195, @mbobrovskyi)

• CLI: Added pass-through commands support in kubectl-kueue for get, describe, edit, patch and delete. (#2181, @trasc)

• Helm: Allow configuration of ipFamilyPolicy for ipDualStack kubernetes cluster (#1933, @dongjiang1989)

• Helm: Allow configuration of custom annotations on Service and Deployment's Pod (#2030, @tozastation)

• Improve metrics related to workload's quota reservation and admission:

  • fix admission_wait_time_seconds - to measure the time to "Admitted" condition since creation time or last requeue (as opposed to the "QuotaReserved" condition as before)
  • add quota_reserved_wait_time_seconds - measures time to "QuotaReserved" condition since creation time, or last eviction time
  • add quota_reserved_workloads_total - counts the number of workloads that got admitted
  • admission_checks_wait_time_seconds - measures the time to admit a workload with admission checks since quota reservation
  • use longer buckets (up to 10240s) for histogram metrics: admission_wait_time_seconds, quota_reserved_wait_time_seconds, admission_checks_wait_time_seconds (#1977, @mbobrovskyi)

• Improve the kubectl output for workloads using admission checks. (#1991, @vladikkuzn)

• Make the PodsReady base delay for requeuing configurable (#2040, @mimowo)

• MuliKueue: Manage worker cluster unavailability (#1681, @trasc)

• MultiKueue: Add support for JobSet spec.managedBy field (#1870, @trasc)

• MultiKueue: Add the managedBy field to JobSets assigned to a ClusterQueue configured for MultiKueue (#2048, @vladikkuzn)

• ProvisioningRequest: Graduated to Beta and enabled by default (#1968, @pajakd)

• ProvisioningRequest: Propagate the message for a ProvisioningRequest being provisioned (which might include an ETA, depending on the implementation) to the Workload status (#2007, @pajakd)

• Show fair share of a CQ in status and a metric (#2276, @mbobrovskyi)

• Updates in admission check messages are recorded as events for jobs/pods. (#2147, @pajakd)

• Workload finished reason replaced with succeeded and failed reasons (#2026, @vladikkuzn)

• You can configure Kueue to ignore container resources that match specified prefixes. (#2267, @pajakd)

• You can define AdmissionChecks per ResourceFlavor in the ClusterQueue API, using admissionChecksStrategy (#1960, @PBundyra)

Bug or Regression

• Avoid unnecessary preemptions when there are multiple candidates for preemption with the same admission timestamp (#1875, @alculquicondor)

• Change the default pprof port to 8083 to fix a bug that causes conflicting listening ports between pprof and the visibility server. (#2228, @amy)

• Check the containers limits for used resources in provisioning admission check controller and include them in the ProvisioningRequest as requests (#2286, @trasc)

• Do not default to suspending a job whose parent is already managed by Kueue (#1846, @astefanutti)

• Fix handling of eviction in StrictFIFO to ensure the evicted workload is in the head.
  Previously, in case of priority-based preemption, it was possible that the lower-priority
  workload might get admitted while the higher priority workload is being evicted. (#2061, @mimowo)

• Fix incorrect quota management when lendingLimit enabled in preemption (#1770, @kerthcet)

• Fix preemption algorithm to reduce the number of preemptions within a ClusterQueue when reclamation is not possible, and when using .preemption.borrowWithinCohort (#2110, @alculquicondor)

• Fix preemption algorithm to reduce the number of preemptions within a ClusterQueue when reclamation is not possible. (#1979, @mimowo)

• Fix preemption to reclaim quota that is blocked by an earlier pending Workload from another ClusterQueue in the same cohort. (#1866, @alculquicondor)

• Fix support for MPIJobs when using a ProvisioningRequest engine that applies updates only to worker templates. (#2265, @trasc)

• Fix the counter of pending workloads in cluster queue status.

  The counter would not count the head workload for StrictFIFO queues, if the workload cannot get admitted.

  This change also includes the blocked workload in the metrics and the visibility API for the list of pending workloads. (#1936, @mimowo)

• Fix the resource requests computation taking into account sidecar containers. (#2099, @IrvingMg)

• Helm: Fix a bug that prevented Kueue to work with the cert-manager. (#2087, @EladDolev)

• Helm: Fix a bug where the configuration for integrations.podOptions.namespaceSelector didn't have an effect due to indentation issues. (#2086, @EladDolev)

• Helm: Fix chart values configuration for the number of reconcilers for the Pod integration. (#2046, @alculquicondor)

• Kueue visibility API is no longer installed by default. Users can install it via helm or applying the visibility-api.yaml artifact. (#1746, @trasc)

• Make the defaults for PodsReadyTimeout backoff more practical, as for the original values
  the couple of first requeues made the impression as immediate on users (below 10s, which
  is negligible to the wait time spent waiting for PodsReady).

  The defaults values for the formula to determine the exponential back are changed as follows:

  • base 1s -> 10s
  • exponent: 1.41284738 -> 2
    So, now the consecutive times to requeue a workload are...

Kueue v0.6.0

Changes since v0.5.0:

API Change

• A stopPolicy field in the ClusterQueue allows to hold or drain a ClusterQueue (#1299, @trasc)
• Add a lendingLimit field in ClusterQueue's quotas, to allow restricting how much of the unused resources by the ClusterQueue can be borrowed by other ClusterQueues in the cohort.
  In other words, this allows a quota equal to nominal-lendingLimit to be exclusively used by the ClusterQueue. (#1385, @B1F030)

• Add MultiKueue garbage collection. (#1643, @trasc)
• Add Path location type for MultiKueue cluster KubeConfigs (#1640, @trasc)
• Add the config field .waitForPodsReady.requeuingTimestamp to allow admins configure the timestamp used when sorting workloads that were evicted due to their Pods not becoming ready in time. (#1542, @nstogner)
• Basic implementation of MultiKueue for Job. This doesn't include support for live status updates. (#1313, @trasc)
• Extend the information returned for the pending workloads in cluster queue, that is used to determine the workload position, including the workload position itself. (#1362, @PBundyra)
• Extend visibility API by adding an endpoint that allows a user to fetch information about pending workloads and their position in LocalQueue. (#1365, @PBundyra)
