image-promotion hits 429 quota limits

[chrischdi]

What happened:

• Image promotion job did run
• Image promotion failed due tounexpected status code 429 Too Many Requests

See https://prow.k8s.io/view/gs/kubernetes-jenkins/logs/post-k8sio-image-promo/1776261613632884736

What you expected to happen:

• Image promotion to succeed

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

• Run image promotion, propably multiple ones after another, in this case we (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-vsphere) did cut 3 patch releases.

Anything else we need to know?:

This issue did already occur in the past and was reported wrongly at

• image-promo job is hitting quota limits kubernetes/k8s.io#6431

Ben pointed that:

The image promoter makes a really high amount of API calls because of the approach to image signatures.
We have not changed the quotas in the infrastructure projects.

So there may be potential to optimise promo-tools to not require that much API calls and to not exceed the limit.

Environment:

See the prowjob :-)

• Cloud provider or hardware configuration:
• OS (e.g: cat /etc/os-release):
• Kernel (e.g. uname -a):
• Others:

I did try to look through the code a bit:

• kpromo normally uses a rate-limiter when using the crane library
• when using sigs.k8s.io/release-sdk/sign, to e.g. signAndReplicate (here) , kpromo does not set the transport to add the rate-limiter, because release-sdk does not allow us to.
  • release-sdk runs the SignImageInternal function:
    • https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/release-sdk/blob/main/sign/impl.go#L113-L114
  • which runs github.com/sigstore/cosign/v2/cmd/cosign/cli/sign.SignCmd(...)
    • SignCmd would allow to pass through a Transport (and because of that a RateLimiter) via signOpts.Registry.RegistryClientOpts

[chrischdi]

Instead of adding rate-limiting, the other possibility would be take a look into release-sdk and/or cosign to improve the api calls made.

This is a known issue and we're planning a larger refactor of the promo-tools code base, see other issues in this repo for more information.

What is the recommended action when our image promotions are failing with this error? I'm wondering how our users will be affected.

What is the recommended action when our image promotions are failing with this error? I'm wondering how our users will be affected.

If promotion fails with error such as:

run `cip run`: promote images: signing images: replicating signatures: copying signature ...

It's generally safe to ignore it. If it fails with any other error, the job should be restarted. You can ping Release Managers in the #release-management Slack channel to restart the job for you.

It shouldn't affect ability to consume images, but signatures might not work properly or at all if this error happens. Unfortunately, there's nothing much we can do at this point, but we hope we'll be able to kick off the promo-tools refactor efforts soon.

[xmudrii]

The first failure can be ignored, the second job should be restarted. Can you please send a link to the job so that we can restart it?

@xmudrii thanks

sorry its this one: https://prow.k8s.io/view/gs/kubernetes-jenkins/logs/post-k8sio-image-promo/1780297426096099328

[xmudrii]

@cahillsf Restarted the job and now it's green https://prow.k8s.io/view/gs/kubernetes-jenkins/logs/post-k8sio-image-promo/1780300931636662272

[cahillsf]

thanks for your help @xmudrii !
