Oracle OKE

This section details OCI-specific configuration options.

Spot​

Special consideration for using Spot on OCI OKE​

OKE nodes with spot pricing have a taint automatically applied to them. This means pods running on Spot nodes in OKE (called preemptible instances) must have a toleration set in order to be scheduled and run on the nodes with Spot pricing. To use GPU spot nodes, the toleration also needs to be included on the Nvidia daemonsets.

In order to get the pods running on the spot nodes the operator must add a toleration corresponding to the oci.oraclecloud.com/oke-is-preemptible taint.

spec:
  containers:
  - name: spot-example
  tolerations:
  - key: oci.oraclecloud.com/oke-is-preemptible
    operator: Exists
    effect: "NoSchedule"
