Scenario 3: Node selector & resource issues

Difficulty Components Break Type

Easy / Medium

Gateway

Two distinct issues

Objectives

  • Log in to the AAP Gateway UI.

  • Observe multiple core components failing to deploy or stabilize.

  • Diagnose 2 distinct issues.

  • Resolve both issues.

Troubleshooting

Step 1: Run the Break Scenario job

Log into AAP using the Ansible Automation Platform tab. Navigate to Automation Execution → Templates and launch the Break Scenario job template. Wait for it to complete before proceeding.

Step 2: Inspect failing pods

Open the OpenShift Console and navigate to Workloads → Pods. Filter by your namespace.

Identify pods that are not reaching a Running state. Click on each failing pod and review the Events tab; the scheduler messages will point you toward the root cause.

Step 3: Fix the issues

Once you have identified both issues, apply the fixes through the OpenShift Console.

Refer to the solution page if needed: Solution: Node Selector & Resource Issues

Step 4: Verify

Confirm all pods are running and ready, then successfully log into the AAP UI.

Hint

There are 2 issues. Try to identify both before checking the solution. Use Describe on the failing pods in the OpenShift Console; the events section will tell you exactly why the scheduler cannot place them.
