volcano-resource-insufficient

volcano-resource-insufficient is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from scitix/siclaw. It costs 36 tokens per session (2,372 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A troubleshooting guide for workloads that cannot get enough computing resources in a Volcano cluster. A cluster is a group of machines, and a pod is a running unit of a Kubernetes workload.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps investigate pending pods, failed scheduling events, out-of-memory terminations, and nodes with no usable resources. It only diagnoses the cause and does not change the cluster.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish between a whole cluster being full, resources being split across unsuitable nodes, a single node being short on capacity, and queue limits.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

volcano-resource-insufficient scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Resource Insufficiency Diagnosis

This guide helps diagnose resource shortage issues in Volcano-scheduled workloads. Resource insufficiency is one of the most common causes of scheduling failures.

Scope: This skill is for diagnosis only. Once you identify the root cause, report it to the user and stop. Do NOT attempt to modify resource quotas or delete workloads.

When to Use This Guide

Use this skill when:

  • Events show Insufficient cpu or Insufficient memory
  • Pods are stuck in Pending with resource-related events
  • Nodes show zero allocatable resources
  • Pods are being OOMKilled (Out of Memory)
  • FailedScheduling events mention resource constraints

Types of Resource Issues

1. Cluster-Wide Resource Exhaustion

The entire cluster lacks sufficient resources to meet the workload demands.

2. Resource Fragmentation

Total resources exist but are distributed across too many nodes to satisfy specific scheduling constraints (like Gang scheduling).

3. Per-Node Resource Shortage

Individual nodes lack enough resources, even though the cluster as a whole has capacity.

4. Queue Resource Limits

The Queue has reached its deserved resource limit, preventing new pods from being scheduled.

Diagnostic Steps

Step 1: Identify Resource Shortage Type

Check the specific error message in events:

kubectl get events -n <namespace> --field-selector involvedObject.name=<pod-name> --sort-by='.lastTimestamp'

Common error patterns:

Error Message Resource Type Scope
Insufficient cpu CPU Node-level
Insufficient memory Memory Node-level
Insufficient nvidia.com/gpu GPU Node-level
0/N nodes are available General Cluster-level
exceeded quota Queue-level Queue limit

Step 2: Check Pod Resource Requests

Determine how much resources the pod is requesting:

kubectl get pod <pod-name> -n <namespace> -o jsonpath='{.spec.containers[*].resources.requests}'
