Hi, I've been running into "Death by etcd timeouts" situations on AKS. Symptoms mostly propeller unable to ListAndWatch fly crd objects thus -> halt and catch fire. Tried to remedy the situation by cleaning up what I think flyte's garbage collection is supposed to clean up and didnt (fly crd objects and task-pods), this worked once, but eventually the etcd behind AKS isn't responding any more. the number of flyteworkflow crd objects in etcd is in the 10k / 100k range after a couple days eventually. the version of flytadmin we're using is based on v1.1.39 and includes changes from this pr: https://github.com/flyteorg/flyteadmin/pull/504 however garbage collection works fine on our other AKS-based environments most of the time but it definitely looks unreliable sometimes, as in very irregularly cleans up. is this something we can configure/tune maybe? to really aggressively do garbage collection?
logs in propeller look like this

and flyteadmin logs slow queries as well which seems to be rather weird to me as well
Copy code
flyteadmin [260.964ms] [rows:25] SELECT * FROM "executions" WHERE executions.execution_project = '<redacted>' AND executions.execution_domain = 'development' AND executions.state = '
EXECUTION_ACTIVE' ORDER BY created_at desc LIMIT 25
the query actually takes 200ms ish - i verified by going directly to the database executions table holdes 370k records atm:
Copy code
flyteadmin=# select count(*) from executions
flyteadmin-# ;
 count  
--------
 373647

@orange-arm-76433 we do not have AKS supported in open source Flyte deployments. Is this a custom deployment?
Also IMO you folks should turn on workflow offloading. We have seen fantastic results
o
we'll give that a try for sure
is there any tuning option for flyteadmin's garbage collection?
or a way to inspect its health/state?
f
Yes you can tune the gc as well
But if etcd is timing out I think gc will fail too
Gc also has metrics
o
yes, indeed. once we're in that state it's hard/impossible to come back from
ah good to know, will check that

f
I think workflow Offloading will solve all
We do not have AKS and do not really have a clue
o
it certainly will improve things, but tbh in my dreams there is no such thing as flyteworkflow CRD and propoeller would just rely on flyteadmin-db 😅
f
Performance will be worst
Sadly
