Sometime early this year, I deployed a brand new thoroughly tested, and profiled application onto a self-managed Kubernetes cluster. Suffice to say, all hell broke loose. The pods were getting OOMKilled with error code 137 left and right. This sparked a massive crime scene investigation and some interesting insights were discovered. I blogged about this in May, 2021. I have made some more progress on this since then, as a sidekick.
I thought it would be a fun topic to share in KubeCon, right? Turn out, the committee thought so too (thank you!).
So, I am very glad to be talking about this particular experience at KubeCon North America 2021. This tallk is titled Who Killed My Pod? #Whodunit and is scheduled for 13th Oct 2021. I will be going over my experience and talk about exactly who killed my pod #whodunit, why, and the fix!
