https://k8s- Failed: [] Load capacity [Feature:Performance] should be able to handle 30 pods per node {Kubernetes e2e suite} Previous issues for this test:
This is pretty much the same failure, that are happening in "gce-enormous" suite and we currently debugging them with The main reason of those failures is that we are terminating all watchers for a particular resource type from time to time, and some of them are actually causing a snowball effect. After more looking into it, my hypothesis is that our machinery for aggregating watchers in apiserver sometimes is just to slow. In particular, I some log in my local branch and what I'm observing is that in etcd_watcher, we are: accumulating objects in incoming channel but also accumulating objects in outgoing channel, and the accumulation there is usually higher [I will send a PR to put those logs into master - they seem to be pretty useful for debugging such issues.] So my current hypothesis is that dispatching watch events to watchers is what is too slow. We will continue debugging.
The logs that I seem to confirm my hypothesis - outgoing channel is generally more full then the incoming channel in etcd_watcher: vs I'm working on the PR that should at least improve the situation.

Please apply the label to this issue if it does not need to be fixed before we launch 1.4. Otherwise please advise on how to proceed with respect to 1.4.
This was a regression - I fixed it by reverting an offending PR: This seems to be fixed now.
I have 33 pods in my container (1 is substantive, the other 32 just run on log files). I get this all the time now. I'm running 1.5.4.
- to be honest, I don't undertsand what your wrote. what is "container" in "33 pods in my container"? Also, if you believe there is a bug somewhere, please open a new issue instead of adding comment to more than half-year-old one.
