Pairs with openshift-psap/hearth#11, which quarantines a dead cluster's ResourceFlavor (zeroing its quota) when GPU discovery fails repeatedly.

Changes

  • Add KueueClient.is_flavor_healthy(), reading the fournos.dev/healthy label Hearth sets on a ResourceFlavor (defaults healthy if the flavor is missing/unlabeled, for backward safety).
  • In reconcile_pending, if a not-yet-admitted job is hard-pinned to a cluster (spec.cluster) with hardware requirements (spec.hardware.gpuType) and that cluster is unhealthy, delete and recreate its Workload without the cluster pin. Kueue's native flavor fungibility then admits it onto any other flavor offering the same GPU type — no custom 'equivalent cluster' matching logic needed.
  • Lock-only jobs (cluster pinned, no hardware) are left alone: the user explicitly wanted that one cluster, so there's no equivalent to redirect to.
  • Track status.redirectedFrom / status.redirectCount to avoid redirect loops and surface the event on the FournosJob.

Testing

Added tests/unit/ (mock-based, no live cluster required): the existing tests/ suite is integration-only against a live kind cluster (Tekton + Kueue), which wasn't available in the environment this was developed in. The new subtree has its own conftest.py that shadows the parent's live-cluster autouse fixtures.

  • pytest tests/unit/ -q → 15 passed, covering redirect eligibility rules and the reconcile_pending short-circuit wiring.
  • ruff check / ruff format --check clean on changed/added files.

Would appreciate a maintainer running the full tests/ integration suite against a kind cluster before merge, since I couldn't exercise the real Kueue admission path end-to-end here.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Pending jobs pinned to an unhealthy cluster can be redirected for cluster selection by Kueue, while retaining their GPU requirements and other job settings.
    • Jobs are not redirected again from the same cluster, and jobs pinned to healthy clusters continue through the usual pending flow.
    • Resource flavors without a health label, or that cannot be found, are treated as healthy; flavors labeled "false" are treated as unhealthy.

Pairs with the companion Hearth PR that quarantines a dead cluster's
ResourceFlavor (zeroing its quota) when discovery fails repeatedly.

- Add KueueClient.is_flavor_healthy(), reading the fournos.dev/healthy
  label Hearth sets on a ResourceFlavor (defaults healthy if the flavor
  is missing/unlabeled, for backward safety).
- In reconcile_pending, if a not-yet-admitted job is hard-pinned to a
  cluster (spec.cluster) with hardware requirements (spec.hardware.gpuType)
  and that cluster is unhealthy, delete and recreate its Workload without
  the cluster pin. Kueue's native flavor fungibility then admits it onto
  any other flavor offering the same GPU type — no custom 'equivalent
  cluster' matching logic needed.
- Lock-only jobs (cluster pinned, no hardware) are left alone: the user
  explicitly wanted that one cluster, so there's no equivalent to
  redirect to.
- Track status.redirectedFrom / redirectCount to avoid redirect loops
  and to surface the event on the FournosJob.

Added tests/unit/ (mock-based, no live cluster required) since the
existing tests/ suite is integration-only against a live kind cluster,
which wasn't available to verify against in this environment.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

KueueClient now checks ResourceFlavor health. Pending workloads pinned to an unhealthy cluster can be replaced without a cluster pin while retaining selected workload details. Reconciliation skips the usual pending-status path after a redirect.

Changes

Unhealthy cluster redirect

Layer / File(s) Summary
ResourceFlavor health check
fournos/core/constants.py, fournos/core/kueue.py, tests/unit/test_kueue_health.py
Adds the health label constant and KueueClient.is_flavor_healthy. Tests cover label values, missing labels, 404 responses, and other API errors.
Replace workloads pinned to unhealthy clusters
fournos/handlers/lifecycle.py, tests/unit/conftest.py, tests/unit/test_lifecycle_redirect.py
Adds eligibility checks and replaces eligible workloads without a cluster pin. The replacement retains GPU type, GPU count, exclusivity, priority, and owner reference. The code records the source cluster and increments redirectCount.
Integrate redirect with pending reconciliation
fournos/handlers/lifecycle.py, tests/unit/test_lifecycle_redirect.py
Reconciliation attempts redirection before formatting pending status. After a redirect from the current cluster, it skips locker lookup and formats status without that cluster.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 290ea

When a pending job is redirected away from an unhealthy cluster, a failure while recreating its Workload can leave the job stuck in Pending with no Workload. Add handling for the failed create, and a way to recreate the unpinned Workload on a later reconcile, before merging. The live-cluster integration suite has also not been run.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

A failed create after the delete leaves the job without a Workload.

The redirect deletes the Workload and then creates a new one with the same name. The create can fail in two ways:

  • The API server can still hold the deleted object, for example while a finalizer runs. The create then raises 409 AlreadyExists.
  • The create can raise any other ApiException.

In both cases the redirect raises before it writes patch.status. On the next reconcile, get_workload_or_none returns None. reconcile_pending then logs "Workload not yet visible" and returns. Nothing in this path creates the Workload again, so the job can stay Pending forever. Handle 409 the same way _create_lock_workload does. Also make the "Workload missing" path able to create the unpinned Workload again when status.redirectedFrom matches spec.cluster.

Proposed fix

-        name=name,
-        ...

+        ctx.kueue.create_workload(
+            name=name,
+            gpu_type=gpu_type,
+            gpu_count=hardware.get("gpuCount", 0),
+            cluster=None,
+            exclusive=spec["exclusive"],
+            priority=spec.get("priority"),
+            owner_ref=owner_ref(body),
+        )
+    except k8s_client.exceptions.ApiException as exc:
+        if exc.status != 409:

+        logger.info("Job %s: old Workload still terminating; retry next reconcile", name)
+        return False
