How to Disable the ImageLocality Scheduling Plugin in PMK

Problem

• How to disable the imageLocality Scheduling plugin in PMK.

Environment

• Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - All Versions
• Platform9 Self Managed Cloud Platform - All Versions
• Component: Kube-Scheduler

Procedure

Option A: Disable imageLocality plugin for default scheduling behaviour.

• Update /etc/pf9/kube.d/configs/kube-scheduler.yamlon each master node as below.

apiVersion: kubescheduler.config.k8s.io/v1

kind: KubeSchedulerConfiguration

clientConnection:

  kubeconfig: /srv/kubernetes/kubeconfigs/kube-scheduler.yaml

profiles:

  - schedulerName: default-scheduler

    plugins:

      score:

        disabled:

          - name: ImageLocality

• Perform a full-stack restart. (One Master Node at a time)

$ /opt/pf9/nodelet/nodeletd phases restart

Option B: Disable imageLocality plugin using a new Scheduling profile.

• Update /etc/pf9/kube.d/configs/kube-scheduler.yamlon each master node as below.

apiVersion: kubescheduler.config.k8s.io/v1

kind: KubeSchedulerConfiguration

clientConnection:

  kubeconfig: /srv/kubernetes/kubeconfigs/kube-scheduler.yaml

profiles:

  - schedulerName: default-scheduler

  - schedulerName: no-imagelocality-scheduler

    plugins:

      score:

        disabled:

          - name: ImageLocality

• Perform a full-stack restart. (One Master Node at a time)

/opt/pf9/nodelet/nodeletd phases restart

• Now, Pods that want to be scheduled according to a specific profile (in this case no-imagelocality-scheduler ) can include the corresponding scheduler name in their .spec.schedulerName
