dbsetup job should not default to ASI resources

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Customer with a large container deployment hit an issue because they have very large requests and limits set for their ASI pods and they could not get the dbsetup job to deploy.


Per the helm chart, it looks like the dbsetup job uses the same requests and limits as ASI, which in most deployments may be fine.

I pasted the section from db-setup-job.yaml below. Formatting is busted but you get the idea.


The best option is probably to make the dbsetup requests and limits settable in the values.yaml with reasonable defaults. I don't think the job resource needs to scale with ASI based on what it is doing.

Another option if you want to keep values.yaml complexity down would be to set the request low with a higher limit so the pod can take whatever is available but won't need a huge node to deploy.

containers: - name: "db-setup" resources: {{- toYaml .Values.asi.resources | nindent 20 }} {{- if .Values.dataSetup.image.digest }} image: "{{ .Values.dataSetup.image.repository }}@{{ .Values.dataSetup.image.digest }}" {{- else }}
