      We have an issue after migrating to the OVN-Kubernetes network with OpenShift on OpenStack - OCPBUGS-16910.

       

      The minimal requirements of the worker nodes in openstack are 2 vCPUs and 8 GB RAM. [0] [1]

      Increased the flavor size to match the master nodes requirements: 4 vCPUs and 16 GB RAM, and the issue didn't reproduce - the worker nodes are not overloaded during the conformance tests anymore. [2] 

      Discussed in a Slack thread, and decided we might state in the docs that it is recommended to use the flavor that matches the master nodes when migrating to the OVN-Kubernetes network. [3] 

       
      We have a similar statement in https://github.com/shiftstack/installer/blob/master/docs/user/openstack/README.md#worker-nodes:

      However, if you are experiencing Out Of Memory issues, or your installs are timing out, try increasing the size of your flavor to match the master nodes: 4 vCPUs and 16 GB RAM.

       

      Note that using the workers minimal requirements, all the functionality works, but the workers can get overloaded when running many tests in parallel.
