@yuvipanda had a hunch that dns was not working as hoped inside the containers, but:

Raising priority because the lack of an automatic shutdown method for idle pods leads the PAWS k8s cluster to fill up and then block new pods from spawning.

I'm also un-licking this cookie for @yuvipanda. If anyone has time to spend looking into the problem to narrow down the issue it would be appreciated. The addition of the cloud-services-team (Kanban) tag doesn't guarantee that we will get to it soon, but it does at least put it in a place where we look on a regular basis.

Inside the "hub" pod, the script is running as /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/cull_idle_servers.py --timeout=3600 --cull_every=600.

Am now mostly convinced this is because of hairpin mode problems - a pod trying to talk to a service IP for itself runs into issues reaching itself, causing the 599 issues.

One possibility is to just change https://github.com/jupyterhub/zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s/blob/master/images/hub/cull_idle_servers.py to use 127.0.0.1 to talk to the hub, rather than the service IP. This should work...

It seems it is hitting a 404 due to it missing the + base_url + already merged upstram.

What is the process for pulling a new hub image? How much downtime does it entail?

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-cloud) [2018-02-22T21:13:41Z] <chicocvenancio> jupyterhub updated to fix culler (T175202) culler already ran without 404

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-cloud) [2018-02-22T22:11:16Z] <chicocvenancio> (T175202) culler is running and killing pods as designed!
