Summary

Adds default resource requests and limits for tekton-pruner-controller and tekton-pruner-webhook deployments in the operator.

Changes

Modified pkg/reconciler/kubernetes/tektonpruner/transform.go to include a new addDefaultResourceLimits() transformer that injects default
resource specifications:

tekton-pruner-controller

resources:
  requests:
    cpu: 100m
    memory: 256Mi
  limits:
    cpu: 500m
    memory: 2Gi

tekton-pruner-webhook

  resources:
    requests:
      cpu: 50m
      memory: 64Mi
    limits:
      cpu: 250m
      memory: 128Mi

Rationale

Benchmark data: Testing showed the pruner controller uses 846-1126 MB heap memory when tracking 26k-38k resident PipelineRuns in its informer cache.

Override Mechanism

These defaults can be overridden via TektonConfig or TektonPruner CR:

  apiVersion: operator.tekton.dev/v1alpha1
  kind: TektonConfig
  spec:
    pruner:
      options:
        deployments:
        - name: tekton-pruner-controller
          spec:
            template:
              spec:
                containers:
                - name: controller
                  resources:
                    limits:
                      memory: 4Gi  # Override default

The transformer runs before the options transformer, so user-specified values take precedence.

Release Notes

Operator now applies default resource limits to tekton-pruner-controller (2Gi memory) and tekton-pruner-webhook (512Mi memory) based on benchmark data. CPU limits omitted to avoid throttling. Override via TektonConfig.spec.tektonpruner.options.deployments if needed.
