Hi,

My postgres init container is crashing as there’s no resources defined under [https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/blob/0.30.0/roles/installer/templates/deployments/deployment.yaml.j2](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/blob/0.30.0/roles/installer/templates/deployments/deployment.yaml.j2)

Can we please have resources(requests/limits) defined for the init container?

What logs/errors are you experiencing that you suspect is related to pod resources / limits? feel free to post those in a reply and we’ll take a look!

Below is the error and I’m anticipating it’s because of the postgres init container missing requests/limits -

_Error creating: pods “awx-67cb856d46-lftfx” is forbidden: failed quota: ansible-awx-quota: must specify limits.cpu,limits.memory,requests.cpu,requests.memory_

I have requests/limits assigned to all other containers within the AWX pod (awx-67cb856d46-lftfx").

Hi!

you can set postgres\_init\_container\_resource\_requirements for the initContainers, see [https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator#managed-postgresql-service](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator#managed-postgresql-service)

However, you may still run into the same error for the task container init containers

see this PR which makes the task initContainers inherit the resource limits for task\_resource\_requirements [https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/pull/1084](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/pull/1084)

For now you should be able to configure LimitRanges in k8s, which will give the initContainers resource limits [https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/policy/limit-range/](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/policy/limit-range/)

let us know if this helps!

Thanks - will these PR changes be updated in the upcoming awx-operator version?
