API Connect OVA: Kubernetes Fails to Start Due to ResourceExhausted Error

Create a cleanup script to remove the paused containers:

#!/bin/bash

# List all containers and filter those with image registry.k8s.io/pause:3.6
ctr -n k8s.io containers ls | grep "registry.k8s.io/pause:3.6" | awk '{print $1}' | while read -r CONTAINER_ID; do
  echo "
Processing container: $CONTAINER_ID" | tee -a deletion.log

  # Try to kill the task (if running)
  if ctr -n k8s.io tasks kill "$CONTAINER_ID" 2>>deletion.log; then
    echo "Task killed for container $CONTAINER_ID" | tee -a deletion.log
  else
    echo "No running task to kill for container $CONTAINER_ID" | tee -a deletion.log
  fi

  # Try to delete the task (if exists)
  if ctr -n k8s.io tasks delete "$CONTAINER_ID" 2>>deletion.log; then
    echo "Task deleted for container $CONTAINER_ID" | tee -a deletion.log
  else
    echo "No task to delete for container $CONTAINER_ID" | tee -a deletion.log
  fi

  # Delete the container
  if ctr -n k8s.io containers delete "$CONTAINER_ID" 2>>deletion.log; then
    echo "Container $CONTAINER_ID deleted successfully" | tee -a deletion.log
  else
    echo "Failed to delete container $CONTAINER_ID" | tee -a deletion.log
  fi

done

Step 2: Execute the Script

1. Copy the script to the portal VM.
2. Set executable permission:

   chmod +x delete_pause_containers_with_logging.sh

3. Run the script:

   ./delete_pause_containers_with_logging.sh

4. Save the output by copying the terminal log into a text file for reference.

Step 3: Reboot the System

reboot

Step 4: Verify System Health

sudo -i
apic status
kubectl get pods -A

Confirm that Kubernetes components are running and pods are in a healthy state.
