I raised a similar question here about pulp-content performance a short while ago, and also created https://pulp.plan.io/issues/8180 since there may be a lack of documentation about this.
In short, I've made a number of adjustments and among them was setting the 'disablereuse=on' setting in my proxypass declaration. I have not seen any performance issue, probably because the proxypass target is on localhost and not a remote machine. //Adam ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Eric Helms <[email protected]> Sent: 05 February 2021 17:29 To: pulp-list Subject: [Pulp-list] Apache 502 proxy errors when performing Pulp 3 to Pulp 3 syncs Howdy, Some quick background, over in the Katello project we deploy the pulpcore-content service via a unix socket with Apache serving as a reverse proxy. Today, we deploy pulpcore-content with two gunicorn workers. Tomorrow we are considering changing this to 2 * CPU + 1 per gunicorn documentation. The issue we are running into is intermittent 502s from Apache caused by being unable to make a connection to the underlying pulpcore-content app. This manifests itself primarily during a Pulp 3 to Pulp 3 sync. That is, when we sync our content proxy from the main servers Pulp 3. The sync can result in a large number of parallel connections back to the pulpcore-content application running on the main server. In an issue for aiohttp which is used by the project, and whose worker is used for gunicorn [1] they talk about the issues with Apache and aiohttp. In that issue there are two suggestions that I could extract: 1) set disablereuse=on the Apache reverse proxy declarations for the content app 2) change the default Apache worker type to be more like Nginx There are performance tradeoffs with #1, however, I do not fully grasp if they are relative to our primary use case when it comes to the content app. So, I am coming to the experts here to try to get some insight into what changes we should pursue to ensure the optimal default performance for our deployment. And to, as best as we can, limit these kind of intermittent failures to extreme cases. Because today, we see this intermittent failure with Pulp 3 running the same test suite we did with Pulp 2. Related, is there retry support built into syncing? Thanks! [1] https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/issues/2687 -- Eric Helms Principal Software Engineer Satellite
