The chart's kubectl-apply containers were capped at 256Mi and got OOMKilled (exit 137) part-way through their scripts. Under restartPolicy: OnFailure the pod respawned while the Job-level status stayed active, which made the failure invisible apart from a growing restart count. kubectl apply loads full discovery plus the aggregated OpenAPI document of the target apiserver before it can compute a patch, and on a Cozystack management cluster that spans several hundred CRDs. 256Mi is below the working set. Raise the floor to 512Mi on the three affected containers: the talos-reconcile Job in kubernetes-nodes, which is the one cozystack#3519 reports, plus bootstrap-token-tenant and oidc-bootstrap in the parent chart. The talos-reconcile Job moved to the kubernetes-nodes chart with the worker node pools after this branch opened, and the move carried the 256Mi limit with it, so the reported failure is still reachable on main. The knob this change first carried, talos.reconcileJobMemoryLimit, is not reintroduced: 512Mi is the floor, and a value that has to be declared in two charts to cover one Job is worth adding only once a deployment is shown to need it. The bootstrap-token Job is named by a content hash of its rendered spec, so the new limit rotates the name and the pinned fixtures move with it.

Expose and propagate talos.reconcileJobMemoryLimit. The chart has no supported operator setting. Add talos.reconcileJobMemoryLimit with a 512Mi default to the API and chart values, propagate it through the parent-to-chart path, render it as the Job's memory limit, and add a test with a non-default override. The Job loads management-cluster discovery and aggregated OpenAPI data before applying TalosConfigTemplate; if a larger cluster needs more than 512Mi, the fixed limit can OOM-kill the Job and leave reconciliation incomplete.

mattia-eleuteri NOT LGTM. The 512Mi change is right, but the commit message, two code comments and the PR body say things that are not true of the change as it would land.
Business context: the talos-reconcile Job in kubernetes-nodes is OOMKilled at 256Mi and keeps restarting under restartPolicy: OnFailure, so the TalosConfigTemplate apply never runs (#3519).
What I checked. A trial merge of 479d966 onto current main (717d091) is clean, and all three containers still render at 512Mi there. No other kubectl Job in kubernetes or kubernetes-nodes is left at 256Mi: pre-delete-unpin, delete.yaml and the oidc cleanup container sit at 128Mi and run delete or patch, not apply. helm unittest on the merged tree passes in both charts. Putting the reconcile limit back to 256Mi fails the new suite, and doing the same to bootstrap-token fails both hash fixtures. I'm fine with 512Mi as an unmeasured floor: the OOM at 256Mi is observed, and the request stays at 64Mi.
What needs to change:
-
The third paragraph of the commit message tells the history of this branch ("after this branch opened", "The knob this change first carried, talos.reconcileJobMemoryLimit, is not reintroduced"). That knob never existed on main, so a reader of
git loghas nothing to attach it to. docs/agents/contributing.md (Commit Format and Review Blockers) rules this out. Please drop the paragraph. The first two paragraphs already give the reason. -
The new comments in oidc-rbac-job.yaml and bootstrap-token-tenant-job.yaml say "At 256Mi it is OOMKilled at exit 137" as if it was observed. The only observed OOM is the talos-reconcile Job, and the PR body says no RSS was measured. The bootstrap-token container talks only to the tenant apiserver through the admin kubeconfig (
automountServiceAccountToken: false), and that API surface is much smaller than the management cluster's. Please reword both comments to say the limit is raised as headroom to match the reconcile Job, or drop them. -
The PR body becomes the merge commit message, and two things in it are wrong. It calls bootstrap-token-tenant-job.yaml "the
post-install,post-upgradehook Job", but that Job is a main-phase resource and already was at a1b32f2; its header comment explains why it left the hook. The hook Job withpost-install,post-upgradeis the oidc bootstrap one. The upgrade section also mentions only the bootstrap-token rename. The talos-reconcile Job is named by a hash of its whole spec too ($jobSpec | sha256sum | trunc 6), so every pool gets a new reconcile Job on upgrade and runs it once. That is safe, since the TalosConfigTemplate re-apply is byte-identical and Helm prunes the old Job, but the body should say so. -
The oidc bootstrap limit is not covered by any test. With it set back to 256Mi on the merged tree, all tests in
packages/apps/kubernetesstill pass. The chart already has oidc_test.yaml, so oneequalassert on the bootstrap container'slimits.memory, like in the new reconcile suite, is enough.
CI on 479d966 is green, but the runs are from 2026-09-21 and E2E (in-tree) was skipped, so this change has not been through e2e.

Closing this as superseded by #4163, merged today. That PR switches the talos-reconcile Job's TalosConfigTemplate apply to The two parent-chart Jobs, bootstrap-token-tenant and oidc bootstrap, were never observed to OOM, as Aleksei Sviridkin (@lexfrei) pointed out. They run a client-side apply against the tenant apiserver, whose API surface is much smaller. If one of them is ever seen OOMKilled, the fix should be the same as #4163, a server-side apply in its own PR, rather than a higher limit. Thanks Aleksei Sviridkin (@lexfrei) for the review.

What this PR does
Fixes #3519.
Raises the memory limit of every kubectl-apply container in these charts from
256Mito512Mi.requests.memorystays at64Mithroughout.packages/apps/kubernetes-nodes/templates/talos-reconcile-job.yaml— the Job talos-reconcile Job is OOMKilled at 256Mi and never completes #3519 reports.packages/apps/kubernetes/templates/talos/bootstrap-token-tenant-job.yaml— thepost-install,post-upgradehook Job.packages/apps/kubernetes/templates/oidc-rbac-job.yaml— thebootstrapcontainer.Adds a unit suite pinning the reconcile Job's floor, and refreshes the two content-hash Job-name fixtures the change rotates.
Scope changed since this PR opened
The
talos-reconcileJob moved out ofpackages/apps/kubernetesand into thekubernetes-nodeschart when worker node pools were split out, and the move carried the256Milimit with it. The reported failure is therefore still reachable onmain, and the fix now lands in the new location.Two things followed from that. The
talos.reconcileJobMemoryLimitvalue this PR originally added is gone: it parameterised a Job that now lives in a different chart, and a knob that has to be declared in two places to cover one Job is worth adding only once a deployment is shown to need more than the floor. Happy to add it back if maintainers would rather have the escape hatch up front. And with no new schema field, theterraform-provider-cozystackfollow-up this PR previously claimed no longer applies — the box is unticked below.Why 512Mi
kubectl applybuilds an in-memory model of the target API surface before it can compute a patch: full discovery plus the aggregated OpenAPI document. On a Cozystack management cluster that spans several hundred CRDs, and it does not fit in 256Mi. On the reporter's v1.6.0 cluster the container was OOMKilled atexitCode: 137part-way through the script — it got as far as theKamajiControlPlanecertSANs patch and died before theTalosConfigTemplateapply, so nothing downstream of that point ever ran.The failure was also silent:
restartPolicy: OnFailurewithbackoffLimit: 30keeps respawning the container while the Job-level status staysactive, so the only symptom is a pod with a growing restart count (restarts=8when observed).512Mi is a floor, not a measured peak. I have not profiled kubectl's actual RSS, so the claim is that 512Mi clears the reported failure with headroom, not that it is provably sufficient everywhere. The container is short-lived and the request stays at
64Mi, so the headroom costs nothing in scheduling terms; it counts against a tenantResourceQuotaonlimits.memoryonly for the Job's lifetime.Jobs deliberately left alone
The
cleanupcontainer inoidc-rbac-job.yamlstays at128Mi: it only runskubectl delete --selector, which does not load the aggregated OpenAPI document. Other256Mihits in the repo are long-running Deployments and upstream chart defaults, not short-lived kubectl Jobs.Upgrade behaviour
The bootstrap-token Job carries a content hash of its rendered spec in its name, so changing the memory limit rotates that name: the next reconcile creates a fresh Job and Helm prunes the superseded one. The fresh Job re-applies a byte-identical payload, which is a no-op and does not roll existing workers. For clusters currently stuck in the OOM loop this is the desired effect — the new Job runs the script to completion, including the apply the old one never reached.
Validation
Rebased onto

That file is byte-identical tomainon this branch, so the failure is not this change; CI runs Linux.Not validated: no cluster deployment and no RSS measurement.
Downstream repositories
Walked the trigger map against the diff. The change is four template files and one test file, with no schema, no CRD, no values field, no image reference and no CI behaviour touched, so nothing downstream restates it. The
terraform-provider-cozystackissue this PR linked before (#19) was triggered by thetalos.reconcileJobMemoryLimitschema field, which this revision no longer adds; the issue stands on its own and is no longer a follow-up to this PR.Release note
