dtantsurHi! Quick q on node labels: when I request ubuntu-noble-16GB, does it also match ubuntu-noble-32GB or is it specific? And what's the default for ubuntu-noble?12:19
dtantsurI'm checking some NODE_FAILURES on Ironic and researching the possibility of reducing the requirement on certain jobs.12:20
fricklerthe default should be -8GB. and the labels are specific, mapping to flavors that should match the respective ram sizes12:29
fungidtantsur: it's specific, but they may still map to the same flavor in some clouds. you can find their definitions and that mapping in https://opendev.org/opendev/zuul-providers/src/branch/master/zuul.d12:30
fungifor example, the nested-virt-8GB label in vexxhost-base uses their v3-standard-8 flavor which has 32gb ram12:35
fungier, the nested-virt-8GB zuul flavor i should say, mapped to the v3-standard-8 nova flavor in vexxhost clouds12:37
fungianyway, that providers.yaml file has most of what you'd need to identify cases where you may get a node with significantly more ram than the flavor you requested would imply12:38
fungiyou can also browse a bit of that at https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/providers though the details and descriptions aren't plumbed through yet, i expect that'll be expanded further in time12:43
dtantsuraha, thanks!12:50
dtantsurMy takeaway is that 16G nodes are much more common, so it does make sense to switch the jobs that don't need 32G12:57
fungiyes, the 32gb nodes i think are currently only available in a single provider region, so if the node request to that provider fails you'll end up with a node_error result for the job12:58
fungi(e.g. if the provider tries to boot it but then nova returns an error state on the resulting server instance)12:59
dtantsurI see, I see. Yeah, we have these on Ironic even right now.13:06
fungiif there's simply insufficient quota, the requests will queue up until they get a turn, but if say there's no capacity in a host aggregate on the cloud or something then that can result in openstack server create errors13:26
