We are running a model training DAG using WMFKubernetesPodOperator to launch a GPU-enabled pod. The DAG is currently failing because it requests a GPU, but all available GPUs are in use by other jobs as shown in T406302#11252998.
To address this, we enabled deferrable execution for the training operator so the task can wait efficiently for GPU resources. However, we discovered that the Airflow triggerer process was not running in both airflow-devenv and airflow-ml instances, as shown in T406302#11258029.
Following DPE SRE advice, we manually started the triggerer by execing into the scheduler pod as shown in P83720#336321. This removed the triggerer UI warning, but the DAG task now fails with the error:
Trigger emitted an error event, failing the task: Invalid kube-config file. Expected key current-context in kube-config
see full logs in P83720.
We are requesting DPE SRE to enable the Airflow triggerer process in both airflow-devenv and airflow-ml to support deferrable operators.
