WalkthroughThe managed and self-hosted OVN-Kubernetes node manifests increase CPU requests for five containers. ChangesOVN-Kubernetes CPU requests
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR increases CPU requests for critical networking containers but does not add the required CPU and memory limits for those containers. Merging without limits or an approved exception leaves a concrete deployment and runtime-configuration risk, so owner action is needed before merge. Suggested reviewers: Caution Pre-merge checks failedPlease resolve all errors before merging. Addressing warnings is optional.

…eout Increases CPU requests for critical OVN containers in the ovnkube-node DaemonSet (both managed and self-hosted manifests) to prevent CNI ADD timeouts under high CPU utilization. Under high CPU contention (~95-100%), the CFS scheduler starves ovn-controller, ovnkube-controller, northd, nbdb, and sbdb containers due to their low CPU requests, causing CNI ADD operations to exceed timeout and leaving pods stuck in ContainerCreating with DeadlineExceeded. Container CPU request changes: - ovn-controller: 50m -> 150m - northd: 10m -> 100m - nbdb: 10m -> 100m - sbdb: 10m -> 100m - ovnkube-controller: 10m -> 100m Tested on OCP 4.19.39 (AWS) under 114% CPU utilization with aggressive pod churn. Before fix: FailedCreatePodSandBox within minutes. After fix: zero failures over 20 minutes of identical stress.

Add resource limits for the changed containers.
These five containers define CPU and memory requests but no CPU or memory limits. Add limits for every container in this DaemonSet, or document an approved exception. Set CPU limits high enough to avoid reintroducing the CFS throttling this change is intended to prevent.
As per path instructions: Kubernetes/OpenShift manifests require cpu and memory limits on every container.

Add the required bindata template test.
No corresponding *_test.go change is included in the reviewed cohort. Add a render test that asserts the five CPU requests, or document a valid exception.
As per coding guidelines: bindata/**/*.{yaml,yml} changes require corresponding *_test.go files to be added or modified unless a documented valid exception applies.

Summary
Increases CPU requests for critical OVN containers in the ovnkube-node DaemonSet to prevent CNI ADD timeouts under high CPU utilization.
Bug: OCPBUGS-105513
Related: OCPBUGS-99643, OCPBUGS-76596
Root Cause
Under high CPU contention (~95-100%), the CFS scheduler starves ovn-controller, ovnkube-controller, northd, nbdb, and sbdb containers due to their low CPU requests. This causes CNI ADD operations to exceed timeout, leaving pods stuck in
ContainerCreatingwithDeadlineExceeded.Changes
Verification
Tested on OCP 4.19.39 (AWS), 3.5 vCPU worker node.
BEFORE fix (default CPU requests)
Stress: CPU stress pod (6x busy loops) + aggressive pod churn (30 pods/cycle, 2s gap).
Node CPU: 114% (4000m/3500m)
FailedCreatePodSandBoxevents appeared within minutes:AFTER fix (increased CPU requests)
Identical stress conditions — same node, same CPU utilization (114%), same pod churn rate.
Patched the ovnkube-node DaemonSet with the new CPU request values (CVO paused, CNO scaled down).
Result: 20 minutes of stress testing — zero FailedCreatePodSandBox errors, zero DeadlineExceeded errors.
All churn pods created and completed successfully.
