## Background
This document proposes a system for enforcing min/max limits per resource as part of admission control.
This document proposes a system for enforcing resource requirements constraints as part of admission control.
## Model Changes
## Use cases
A new resource, **LimitRange**, is introduced to enumerate min/max limits for a resource type scoped to a
Kubernetes namespace.
1. Ability to enumerate resource requirement constraints per namespace
2. Ability to enumerate min/max resource constraints for a pod
3. Ability to enumerate min/max resource constraints for a container
4. Ability to specify default resource limits for a container
5. Ability to specify default resource requests for a container
6. Ability to enforce a ratio between request and limit for a resource.
## Data Model
The **LimitRange** resource is scoped to a **Namespace**.
### Type
```go
// A type of object that is limited
type LimitType string
const (
// Limit that applies to all pods in a namespace
LimitTypePod string = "Pod"
LimitTypePod LimitType = "Pod"
// Limit that applies to all containers in a namespace
LimitTypeContainer string = "Container"
LimitTypeContainer LimitType = "Container"
)
// LimitRangeItem defines a min/max usage limit for any resource that matches on kind
type LimitRangeItem struct {
// Type of resource that this limit applies to
Type string `json:"type,omitempty"`
Type LimitType `json:"type,omitempty" description:"type of resource that this limit applies to"`
// Max usage constraints on this kind by resource name
Max ResourceList `json:"max,omitempty"`
Max ResourceList `json:"max,omitempty" description:"max usage constraints on this kind by resource name"`
// Min usage constraints on this kind by resource name
Min ResourceList `json:"min,omitempty"`
// Default usage constraints on this kind by resource name
Default ResourceList `json:"default,omitempty"`
Min ResourceList `json:"min,omitempty" description:"min usage constraints on this kind by resource name"`
// Default resource limits on this kind by resource name
Default ResourceList `json:"default,omitempty" description:"default resource limits values on this kind by resource name if omitted"`
// DefaultRequests resource requests on this kind by resource name
DefaultRequests ResourceList `json:"defaultRequests,omitempty" description:"default resource requests values on this kind by resource name if omitted"`
// LimitRequestRatio is the ratio of limit over request that is the maximum allowed burst for the named resource
LimitRequestRatio ResourceList `json:"limitRequestRatio,omitempty" description:"the ratio of limit over request that is the maximum allowed burst for the named resource. if specified, the named resource must have a request and limit that are both non-zero where limit divided by request is less than or equal to the enumerated value"`
}
// LimitRangeSpec defines a min/max usage limit for resources that match on kind
type LimitRangeSpec struct {
// Limits is the list of LimitRangeItem objects that are enforced
Limits []LimitRangeItem `json:"limits"`
Limits []LimitRangeItem `json:"limits" description:"limits is the list of LimitRangeItem objects that are enforced"`
}
// LimitRange sets resource usage limits for each kind of resource in a Namespace
type LimitRange struct {
TypeMeta `json:",inline"`
ObjectMeta `json:"metadata,omitempty"`
ObjectMeta `json:"metadata,omitempty" description:"standard object metadata; see http://releases.k8s.io/HEAD/docs/devel/api-conventions.md#metadata"`
// Spec defines the limits enforced
Spec LimitRangeSpec `json:"spec,omitempty"`
Spec LimitRangeSpec `json:"spec,omitempty" description:"spec defines the limits enforced; http://releases.k8s.io/HEAD/docs/devel/api-conventions.md#spec-and-status"`
}
// LimitRangeList is a list of LimitRange items.
type LimitRangeList struct {
TypeMeta `json:",inline"`
ListMeta `json:"metadata,omitempty"`
ListMeta `json:"metadata,omitempty" description:"standard list metadata; see http://releases.k8s.io/HEAD/docs/devel/api-conventions.md#metadata"`
// Items is a list of LimitRange objects
Items []LimitRange `json:"items"`
Items []LimitRange `json:"items" description:"items is a list of LimitRange objects; see http://releases.k8s.io/HEAD/docs/design/admission_control_limit_range.md"`
}
```
### Validation
Validation of a **LimitRange** enforces that for a given named resource the following rules apply:
Min (if specified) <= DefaultRequests (if specified) <= Default (if specified) <= Max (if specified)
### Default Value Behavior
The following default value behaviors are applied to a LimitRange for a given named resource.
```
if LimitRangeItem.Default[resourceName] is undefined
if LimitRangeItem.Max[resourceName] is defined
LimitRangeItem.Default[resourceName] = LimitRangeItem.Max[resourceName]
```
```
if LimitRangeItem.DefaultRequests[resourceName] is undefined
if LimitRangeItem.Default[resourceName] is defined
LimitRangeItem.DefaultRequests[resourceName] = LimitRangeItem.Default[resourceName]
else if LimitRangeItem.Min[resourceName] is defined
LimitRangeItem.DefaultRequests[resourceName] = LimitRangeItem.Min[resourceName]
```
## AdmissionControl plugin: LimitRanger
The **LimitRanger** plug-in introspects all incoming admission requests.
The **LimitRanger** plug-in introspects all incoming pod requests and evaluates the constraints defined on a LimitRange.
It makes decisions by evaluating the incoming object against all defined **LimitRange** objects in the request context namespace.
If a constraint is not specified for an enumerated resource, it is not enforced or tracked.
The following min/max limits are imposed:
**Type: Container**
| ResourceName | Description |
| ------------ | ----------- |
| cpu | Min/Max amount of cpu per container |
| memory | Min/Max amount of memory per container |
**Type: Pod**
| ResourceName | Description |
| ------------ | ----------- |
| cpu | Min/Max amount of cpu per pod |
| memory | Min/Max amount of memory per pod |
If a resource specifies a default value, it may get applied on the incoming resource. For example, if a default
value is provided for container cpu, it is set on the incoming container if and only if the incoming container
does not specify a resource requirements limit field.
If a resource specifies a min value, it may get applied on the incoming resource. For example, if a min
value is provided for container cpu, it is set on the incoming container if and only if the incoming container does
not specify a resource requirements requests field.
If the incoming object would cause a violation of the enumerated constraints, the request is denied with a set of
messages explaining what constraints were the source of the denial.
If a constraint is not enumerated by a **LimitRange** it is not tracked.
## kube-apiserver
The server is updated to be aware of **LimitRange** objects.
The constraints are only enforced if the kube-apiserver is started as follows:
To enable the plug-in and support for LimitRange, the kube-apiserver must be configured as follows:
```console
$ kube-apiserver -admission_control=LimitRanger
```
## kubectl
### Enforcement of constraints
kubectl is modified to support the **LimitRange** resource.
**Type: Container**
`kubectl describe` provides a human-readable output of limits.
Supported Resources:
For example,
1. memory
2. cpu
Supported Constraints:
Per container, the following must hold true
| Constraint | Behavior |
| ---------- | -------- |
| Min | Min <= Request (required) <= Limit (optional) |
| Max | Limit (required) <= Max |
| LimitRequestRatio | LimitRequestRatio <= ( Limit (required, non-zero) / Request (required, non-zero)) |
Supported Defaults:
1. Default - if the named resource has no enumerated value, the Limit is equal to the Default
2. DefaultRequest - if the named resource has no enumerated value, the Request is equal to the DefaultRequest
**Type: Pod**
Supported Resources:
1. memory
2. cpu
Supported Constraints:
Across all containers in pod, the following must hold true
| Constraint | Behavior |
| ---------- | -------- |
| Min | Min <= Request (required) <= Limit (optional) |
| Max | Limit (required) <= Max |
| LimitRequestRatio | LimitRequestRatio <= ( Limit (required, non-zero) / Request (non-zero) ) |
## Run-time configuration
The default ```LimitRange``` that is applied via Salt configuration will be updated as follows:
```console
$ kubectl namespace myspace
$ kubectl create -f docs/admin/limitrange/limits.yaml
$ kubectl get limits
NAME
limits
$ kubectl describe limits limits
Name: limits
Type Resource Min Max Default
---- -------- --- --- ---
Pod memory 1Mi 1Gi -
Pod cpu 250m 2 -
Container memory 1Mi 1Gi 1Mi
Container cpu 250m 250m 250m
```
## Future Enhancements: Define limits for a particular pod or container.
In the current proposal, the **LimitRangeItem** matches purely on **LimitRangeItem.Type**
It is expected we will want to define limits for particular pods or containers by name/uid and label/field selector.
To make a **LimitRangeItem** more restrictive, we will intend to add these additional restrictions at a future point in time.
apiVersion: "v1"
kind: "LimitRange"
metadata:
name: "limits"
namespace: default
spec:
limits:
- type: "Container"
defaultRequests:
cpu: "100m"
```
## Example
See the [example of Limit Range](../admin/limitrange/) for more information.
An example LimitRange configuration:
| Type | Resource | Min | Max | Default | DefaultRequest | LimitRequestRatio |
| ---- | -------- | --- | --- | ------- | -------------- | ----------------- |
| Container | cpu | .1 | 1 | 500m | 250m | 4 |
| Container | memory | 250Mi | 1Gi | 500Mi | 250Mi | |
Assuming an incoming container that specified no incoming resource requirements,
the following would happen.
1. The incoming container cpu would request 250m with a limit of 500m.
2. The incoming container memory would request 250Mi with a limit of 500Mi
3. If the container is later resized, it's cpu would be constrained to between .1 and 1 and the ratio of limit to request could not exceed 4.
