nginx-lego and autoscaler don't play well after scaling down












1















I'm having troubles with nginx-lego (I know it's deprecated) and node autoscaler. I had to scale up manually through an HPA and patching temporarily minReplicas to a high number. All scaled well, new nodes were added because of pod increase.



After the traffic spike, I set the number back to normal (which is really low) and I can see a lot of bad gateway 502 errors. After I examined the nginx-lego pod's log, I was able to see that plenty of requests were going to pods that aren't there anymore (connection refused or No route to host).

Any idea on what could be wrong?



I guess that patching minReplicas isn't probably the best way how to do it, but I knew that there will be a spike and I didn't have a better idea on how to pre-scale the whole cluster.

          Looks like a problem with your nginx ingress (lego) controller not updating the nginx.conf, when scaling down. I would examine the nginx.conf and see if it's pointing to backends that don't exist anymore.



          $ kubectl cp <nginx-lego-pod>:nginx.conf . 


          If something looks odd you might have to delete the pod so that it gets created by the ReplicaSet managing your nginx ingress controller pods.



          $ kubectl delete <nginx-controller-pod>


          Then examine the nginx.conf again.



          Another issue could be your endpoints for your backend services not being updated by Kubernetes, but this would be unrelated directly to upscaling/downscaling your lego HPA. You can check with:



          $ kubectl get ep 


          And see if there are any that don't exist anymore.
