This page shows you how to resolve issues with resizing clusters.
Resizing a user cluster fails
If a resizing of a user cluster fails, complete the following steps:
-
Find the names of the MachineDeployments and the Machines:
kubectl --kubeconfig USER_CLUSTER_KUBECONFIG get machinedeployments --all-namespaces kubectl --kubeconfig USER_CLUSTER_KUBECONFIG get machines --all-namespaces -
Describe a MachineDeployment to view its logs:
kubectl --kubeconfig USER_CLUSTER_KUBECONFIG describe machinedeployment MACHINE_DEPLOYMENT_NAME -
Check for errors on newly-created Machines:
kubectl --kubeconfig USER_CLUSTER_KUBECONFIG describe machine MACHINE_NAME
No addresses can be allocated for cluster resize
This issue occurs if there are not enough IP addresses available to resize a user cluster.
kubectl describe machine
displays the following error:

Warning Failed 9s (x13 over 56s) machineipam-controller ipam: no addresses can be allocated
To resolve this issue, Allocate more IP addresses for the cluster. Then, delete the affected Machine:
kubectl
--kubeconfig
USER_CLUSTER_KUBECONFIG
delete
machine
MACHINE_NAME
Google Distributed Cloud creates a new Machine and assigns it one of the newly available IP addresses.
