A node has resource pressure when the kubelet reports MemoryPressure, DiskPressure, or PIDPressure as True. Under pressure the node may stop scheduling new pods or evict existing ones, affecting workload stability.
Warning
N/A
- Report shows: Node <name> has MemoryPressure / DiskPressure / PIDPressure
- Node Conditions show the corresponding type with status True
- MemoryPressure: Add node memory or reduce pod resource requests/limits on the node; investigate memory leaks or high-memory processes
- DiskPressure: Clean images, logs, and temporary files; expand disk or add storage; tune kubelet
imageGCHighThresholdPercentetc. - PIDPressure: Limit PIDs per pod on the node (e.g.
podPidsLimit); investigate process leaks - Use
kubectl describe node <name>to inspect Allocatable and Capacity; use metrics to identify the source of pressure
