Container Resources

Kubernetes allows setting rules about container resources:

  • Request CPU: The amount of CPU the container needs.
  • Request Memory: The amount of memory the container needs.
  • Limit CPU: The maximum amount of CPU the container will get.
  • Limit Memory: The maximum amount of memory the container will get.

More information: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-resources-containers

Dekorate supports these options for both the application container and / or any of the side car containers.

Application Container resources

Using annotations

There are parameters availbe for @KubernetesApplication, @KnativeApplication and @OpenshiftApplication.

Using the @KubernetesApplication one could set the resources like:

import io.dekorate.kubernetes.annotation.ResourceRequirements;
import io.dekorate.kubernetes.annotation.KubernetesApplication;

@KubernetesApplication(requestResources=@ResourceRequirements(memory="64Mi", cpu="1m"), limitResources=@ResourceRequirements(memory="256Mi", cpu="5m"))
public class Main {
}

In the same spirit it workds for @KnativeApplication and @OpenshiftApplication.

Using properties

Users that prefer to configure dekorate using property configuration can use the following options:

dekorate.kubernetes.request-resources.cpu=1m
dekorate.kubernetes.request-resources.memory=64Mi
dekorate.kubernetes.limit-resources.cpu=5m
dekorate.kubernetes.limit-resources.memory=256Mi

In a similar manner works for openshift:

dekorate.openshift.request-resources.cpu=1m
dekorate.openshift.request-resources.memory=64Mi
dekorate.openshift.limit-resources.cpu=5m
dekorate.openshift.limit-resources.memory=256Mi

Init Containers

If for any reason the application requires the use of init containers, they can be easily defined using the initContainer property, as demonstrated below.

import io.dekorate.kubernetes.annotation.Container;
import io.dekorate.kubernetes.annotation.KubernetesApplication;

@KubernetesApplication(initContainers = @Container(image="foo/bar:latest", command="foo"))
public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //Your code goes here
  }
}

or via application.properties:

dekorate.kubernetes.init-containers[0].image=foo/bar:latest
dekorate.kubernetes.init-containers[0].command=foo

The @Container supports the following fields:

  • Image
  • Image Pull Policy
  • Commands
  • Arguments
  • Environment Variables
  • Mounts
  • Probes

Sidecars

Similarly, to init containers support for sidecars is also provided using the sidecars property. For example:

import io.dekorate.kubernetes.annotation.Container;
import io.dekorate.kubernetes.annotation.KubernetesApplication;

@KubernetesApplication(sidecars = @Container(image="jaegertracing/jaeger-agent",
                                             args="--collector.host-port=jaeger-collector.jaeger-infra.svc:14267"))
public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //Your code goes here
  }
}

or via application.properties:

dekorate.kubernetes.sidecars[0].image=jaegertracing/jaeger-agent
dekorate.kuberentes.args=--collector.host-port=jaeger-collector.jaeger-infra.svc:14267

As in the case of init containers the @Container supports the following fields:

  • Image
  • Image Pull Policy
  • Commands
  • Arguments
  • Environment Variables
  • Mounts
  • Probes
