A resource governance tool for OpenShift clusters that goes beyond what Metrics Server and VPA offer, providing validations, reports and consolidated recommendations.

🚀 Features

Automatic Collection: Collects requests/limits from all pods/containers in the cluster
Red Hat Validations: Validates capacity management best practices with specific request/limit values
Historical Analysis: Workload-based historical resource usage analysis (1d, 7d, 30d)
Prometheus Integration: Collects real consumption metrics from OpenShift monitoring
Export Reports: Generates reports in JSON, CSV formats
Web UI: Modern interface with sidebar navigation and real-time updates
Cluster Agnostic: Works on any OpenShift cluster without configuration

📋 Requirements

OpenShift 4.x
Prometheus (native in OCP)
VPA (optional, for recommendations)
Python 3.11+
Docker
OpenShift CLI (oc)

🛠️ Installation

🚀 Quick Deploy (Recommended)

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd RequestsAndLimits

# 2. Login to OpenShift
oc login <cluster-url>

# 3. Complete deploy (creates everything automatically)
./scripts/deploy-complete.sh

📋 Manual Deploy (Development)

# Build and push image
./scripts/build-and-push.sh

# Deploy to OpenShift
oc apply -f k8s/

# Wait for deployment
oc rollout status deployment/resource-governance -n resource-governance

🗑️ Undeploy

# Completely remove application
./scripts/undeploy-complete.sh

🌐 Application Access

After deploy, access the application through the created route:

# Get route URL
oc get route -n resource-governance

# Access via browser (URL will be automatically generated)
# Example: https://resource-governance-route-resource-governance.apps.your-cluster.com

🔧 Configuration

ConfigMap

The application is configured through the ConfigMap resource-governance-config:

data:
  CPU_LIMIT_RATIO: "3.0"                    # Default limit:request ratio for CPU
  MEMORY_LIMIT_RATIO: "3.0"                 # Default limit:request ratio for memory
  MIN_CPU_REQUEST: "10m"                    # Minimum CPU request
  MIN_MEMORY_REQUEST: "32Mi"                # Minimum memory request
  CRITICAL_NAMESPACES: |                    # Critical namespaces for VPA
    openshift-monitoring
    openshift-ingress
    openshift-apiserver
  PROMETHEUS_URL: "http://prometheus-k8s.openshift-monitoring.svc.cluster.local:9091"

Environment Variables

KUBECONFIG: Path to kubeconfig (used in development)
PROMETHEUS_URL: Prometheus URL
CPU_LIMIT_RATIO: CPU limit:request ratio
MEMORY_LIMIT_RATIO: Memory limit:request ratio
MIN_CPU_REQUEST: Minimum CPU request
MIN_MEMORY_REQUEST: Minimum memory request

📊 Usage

API Endpoints

Cluster Status

GET /api/v1/cluster/status

Namespace Status

GET /api/v1/namespace/{namespace}/status

Validations

GET /api/v1/validations?namespace=default&severity=error

Historical Analysis

GET /api/v1/namespace/{namespace}/workload/{workload}/historical-analysis?time_range=24h

Export Report

POST /api/v1/export
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "format": "csv",
  "namespaces": ["default", "kube-system"],
  "includeVPA": true,
  "includeAnalysis": true
}

Usage Examples

1. Check Cluster Status

curl https://your-route-url/api/v1/cluster/status

2. Export CSV Report

curl -X POST https://your-route-url/api/v1/export \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"format": "csv", "includeAnalysis": true}'

3. View Critical Validations

curl "https://your-route-url/api/v1/validations?severity=critical"

🔍 Implemented Validations

1. Required Requests

Problem: Pods without defined requests
Severity: Error
Recommendation: Define CPU and memory requests

2. Recommended Limits

Problem: Pods without defined limits
Severity: Warning
Recommendation: Define limits to avoid excessive consumption

3. Limit:Request Ratio

Problem: Ratio too high or low
Severity: Warning/Error
Recommendation: Adjust to 3:1 ratio
Details: Shows specific request and limit values (e.g., "Request: 100m, Limit: 500m")

4. Minimum Values

Problem: Requests too low
Severity: Warning
Recommendation: Increase to minimum values

5. Overcommit

Problem: Requests exceed cluster capacity
Severity: Critical
Recommendation: Reduce requests or add nodes

🔐 Security

RBAC

The application uses a dedicated ServiceAccount with minimal permissions:

Pods: get, list, watch, patch, update
Namespaces: get, list, watch
Nodes: get, list, watch
VPA: get, list, watch
Deployments/ReplicaSets: get, list, watch, patch, update

Security Context

Runs as non-root user (OpenShift assigns UID automatically)
Uses SecurityContext with runAsNonRoot: true
Limits resources with requests/limits
Cluster-agnostic security context

🐛 Troubleshooting

Check Logs

oc logs -f deployment/resource-governance -n resource-governance

Check Pod Status

oc get pods -n resource-governance
oc describe pod <pod-name> -n resource-governance

Check RBAC

oc auth can-i get pods --as=system:serviceaccount:resource-governance:resource-governance-sa
