What is the limitation to increase maxPods from 110 to e.g. 220 ? And how ?

[bernardgut]

Hello

I appologize if this was asked before but I searched the docs and I could not find any information. The most I have found is this person sharing his configuration with maxPods : #10591 (reply in thread)

Now for the question : I have hit a wall :

I have a 3 node cluster with 330 pods instanciated from Omni with static cluster config files. I need to increase that ASAP. Is it possible ? If so how and what are the caveats ?

Thanks

Bernard

It's not a Talos/Omni limitation, but Kubernetes default limit. You can read it about it and implications related to CNI via Kubernetes documentation and other resources.

A patch like this allows you to configure this limit with Omni/Talos:

machine:
    kubelet:
        extraConfig:
             maxPods: 110
