gke-workload-scaling-troubleshooting
From the author
Diagnoses GKE HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA) failures — metrics showing as <unknown>, FailedGetResourceMetric / FailedGetScale / FailedComputeMetricsReplicas events, missing Pod resource requests, custom/external metrics-pipeline breakage (FailedGetExternalMetric / FailedGetCustomMetric, unavailable metrics adapter, control-plane firewall blocking the adapter), HPA that won't scale up or down (tolerance / stabilization window / unavailable rate metrics), scale-to/from-zero problems, and slow HPA reaction on large clusters. Use when an HPA isn't scaling a workload as expected or reports metric errors. Don't use for configuring or authoring new HPA/VPA objects or scaling best practices (see the gke-workload-scaling skill), or for Cluster Autoscaler / node-pool sizing.

- gke-workload-scalinggoogle/skillsManages scaling for GKE workloads using HPA and VPA. Use when configuring Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA), configuring Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA), or applying best practices for GKE workload autoscaling. Do not use for cluster-level autoscaling (Cluster Autoscaler), static cluster sizing, or configuring node-level machine styles directly.OfficialOther★ 21.5K
- gke-workload-troubleshootinggoogle/skillsDiagnoses GKE workload failures (CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, ImagePullBackOff, Pending, etc.) via logs and events. Use when pods fail to start or crash repeatedly. Don't use for GKE cluster infrastructure provisioning, node pool creation, or non-Kubernetes Google Cloud services.OfficialDevOps★ 21.5K
- gke-ai-troubleshooting-tpu-mxla-hanggoogle/skillsDiagnose GKE Cloud TPU multi-slice training hangs (Megascale `HANG_DETECTED` logs and hang monitored events) using the ML Diagnostics `Megascale XLA (MXLA) Hang Analyzer` (`gcloud alpha mldiagnostics monitored-events`) and 1-minute Cloud Monitoring multi-slice latency metrics (`kubernetes.io/container/multislice/*`). Distinguishes XLA compiler/HLO launch divergence and host data-input stalls from TPU chip, SparseCore, ICI, or network fabric faults. Use when multi-slice TPU training jobs freeze without progressing steps, emit `HANG_DETECTED`, or stall in collective operations. Don't use for gradual step-time throughput drops without hangs (use gke-ai-troubleshooting-tpu-performance-degradation) or pod preemption/eviction restarts (use gke-ai-troubleshooting-jobset-interruption).OfficialDevOps★ 21.5K
- gke-node-notreadygoogle/skillsDiagnoses GKE nodes reporting NotReady or Unknown status by inspecting node conditions, events, kubelet/containerd logs, and node metrics, then proposing safe remediations. Use when nodes show NotReady, when the kubelet stops posting node status, or when workloads are evicted or stuck Pending due to node health. Don't use for pod-level application failures (use gke-workload-troubleshooting), autoscaler scale-up/scale-down decisions (use gke-cluster-autoscaler), or non-GKE compute.OfficialOther★ 21.5K
- gke-storage-troubleshootinggoogle/skillsDiagnoses GKE persistent-storage failures — volume attach/mount errors (Regional PD on optimized VMs, fsGroup mount timeouts), disk-performance and node storage-pressure issues, slow-disk Pod-creation failures, volume-expansion problems, Local SSD / Hyperdisk Storage Pool creation errors, and Cloud Storage FUSE OOM. Use when Pods are stuck in ContainerCreating, volumes fail to attach or mount, or nodes report storage pressure. Don't use for routine storage provisioning or StorageClass/PVC authoring (see the gke-storage skill).OfficialOther★ 21.5K
- gke-workload-identitygoogle/skillsConfigures and diagnoses Workload Identity Federation for GKE authentication failures for Pods (403 "iam.serviceAccounts.getAccessToken" / permission denied, "could not find default credentials", or GKE metadata server unreachable) by verifying cluster and node-pool Workload Identity configuration, the Kubernetes ServiceAccount (KSA) to IAM binding (direct principal binding and legacy Google ServiceAccount impersonation), target-resource IAM roles, and gke-metadata-server health. Use when setting up KSA/GSA bindings (`roles/iam.workloadIdentityUser`, `iam.gke.io/gcp-service-account`) or when a Pod cannot authenticate to Google Cloud APIs. Don't use for in-cluster Kubernetes RBAC errors (API-server authorization), general workload crashes (use gke-workload-troubleshooting), or Pod Security Standards and NetworkPolicies (use gke-workload-security).OfficialSecurity★ 21.5K
