Monitoring Containers

Understanding Container Statuses and Lifecycle

Bitdeer AI Container Service (BCS) provides several statuses to track the lifecycle of your containers. Below is a description of the typical statuses:

Container Statuses

1. Unschedulable:
   • Description: The container could not be scheduled due to insufficient resources or policy restrictions.
   • Action: Review the resource requirements or system quotas and retry.
2. PodInitializing:
   • Description: The container is in the process of being set up. This includes downloading the image, initializing volumes, and configuring the environment.
   • Action: Wait for the initialization to complete or monitor the logs for any issues.
3. Running:
   • Description: The container is actively running and executing the workload. Compute resources such as GPUs and CPUs are fully utilized.
   • Action: Monitor metrics and logs to track performance.
4. Stopping:
   • Description: The container is in the process of shutting down, typically due to a manual stop request or system trigger.
   • Action: Wait for the container to fully stop.
5. Stopped:
   • The container has stopped running and is no longer consuming compute resources.
   • Action: Review logs and metrics for post-execution analysis. The container can be restarted if needed.
6. Deleting:
   • Description: The container is in the process of being deleted. Associated resources (e.g., volumes) will also be released.
   • Action: Wait for the container to be fully removed.
7. Deleted:
   The container has been successfully deleted and is no longer listed in the system.
8. Error:
   • Description: The container encountered an error and could not complete its workload.
   • Action: Check the logs to identify the issue and make necessary adjustments before restarting.
