T-03 JVM 메모리 상한을 컨테이너 한도 안으로 묶기 - #55
Conversation
-Xmx256m과 --memory=256m이 같아서 힙 혼자 컨테이너 한도를 다 먹을 수 있었다. 메타스페이스·코드캐시·스레드 스택이 그 위에 쌓이면 OOMKill이 발생하는 구조다. 힙 상한을 45%(약 115MiB)로 내리고 비힙 영역에 각각 상한을 둬서 전체 풋프린트를 예측 가능하게 만들었다. +ExitOnOutOfMemoryError로 좀비 상태 대신 재시작되게 한다. 의도적으로 넣지 않은 것: - -XX:+UseSerialGC — nproc=2 + 한도 256m이면 JVM이 이미 SerialGC를 자동 선택한다 (G1은 CPU>=2 그리고 메모리>=1792MB일 때). 효과 없는 플래그를 남기지 않는다. - -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 — 코드캐시는 아끼지만 피크 성능을 크게 깎아 보류한다. 이미지에 커밋 SHA 태그를 함께 붙인다. :latest 하나만 태깅해서 배포 실패 시 되돌릴 이전 이미지를 특정할 수 없던 문제를 같이 고친다.

Java 21 java launcher MaxRAMPercentage MaxMetaspaceSize ReservedCodeCacheSize MaxDirectMemorySize container memory semantics SerialGC nproc ergonomics
💡 Result:
Java 21, like recent long-term support releases, is natively container-aware, meaning the JVM automatically detects cgroup memory and CPU limits to configure its internal resources [1][2]. Memory Semantics and Sizing The JVM interprets container memory limits to define various memory pools. Rather than hard-coding heap sizes with -Xmx, which is discouraged in containerized environments [3], it is best practice to use percentage-based flags [2][4]: -XX:MaxRAMPercentage: Sets the maximum heap size as a percentage of the container's memory limit (default is typically 25% if no explicit heap size is set, but often tuned to 70-80% in production) [5][1][3]. -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize: Constrains metaspace growth. By default, metaspace is unbounded, which can lead to container OOM kills; setting an explicit limit (e.g., 256m or 512m) is recommended [6][1][3]. -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize: Defaults to 240 MB. For large applications with many classes, increasing this (e.g., 512 MB) prevents performance degradation or startup failures [6][3]. -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize: Governs memory allocated outside the heap (e.g., for NIO buffers). It defaults to approximately the maximum heap size if not explicitly set [6][7]. Container memory overhead is significant. A rule of thumb is that the container memory limit should be higher than the sum of JVM memory pools to account for thread stacks, metaspace, direct memory, and native overhead [1]. Common advice is to add 25-50% headroom over the sum of your configured JVM pool limits [1]. GC Ergonomics and CPU Detection The JVM uses "ergonomics" to select the garbage collector (GC) based on detected resources [8]. - Default GC Selection: In environments with fewer than 2 CPUs and less than 1792 MB of RAM, the JVM traditionally defaults to SerialGC [9][10][11]. On "server-class" machines (2+ CPUs, 1792 MB+ RAM), it typically defaults to G1GC [9][10][11]. - CPU Awareness: The JVM uses the number of CPUs allocated to the container (cgroup limits) for thread pool sizing (e.g., GC threads, ForkJoinPool) [2][4]. While there were known issues in older Java 21 versions reporting host CPU counts, these have been addressed in later 21.x releases [12]. - Tuning: If the JVM selects SerialGC but you require lower pause times, you should explicitly set the GC (e.g., -XX:+UseG1GC or -XX:+UseZGC) [9][10]. You can also override CPU detection using -XX:ActiveProcessorCount if the container environment provides incorrect metrics to the JVM [4]. General Advice - Use -XX:+UseContainerSupport (enabled by default in modern OpenJDK) [3][2]. - Use -Xlog:os+container=trace to debug how the JVM perceives container limits [12]. - Monitor with Native Memory Tracking (-XX:NativeMemoryTracking=summary) to understand actual native memory usage beyond the heap [6].

💡 Result:
The flags MaxMetaspaceSize, ReservedCodeCacheSize, MaxDirectMemorySize, and MaxRAMPercentage are JVM options used to configure memory limits for different non-heap memory areas and overall resource management [1]. MaxMetaspaceSize: This option sets the maximum amount of native memory that can be used for class metadata [1]. If not set, the metaspace size is limited only by the available native memory of the host system. ReservedCodeCacheSize: This option specifies the maximum size of the code cache, which stores compiled native code produced by the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler [1]. The default value is platform-dependent. MaxDirectMemorySize: This option limits the total size of direct buffer allocations (NIO direct memory) [1]. If this flag is not specified, the JVM chooses the size for NIO direct-buffer allocations automatically [1]. MaxRAMPercentage: This option defines the maximum amount of memory the JVM heap can occupy, expressed as a percentage of the total available physical RAM [1]. This is particularly useful in containerized environments to ensure the JVM scales its heap according to the container's memory limits, typically accepting a value between 0 and 1 (e.g., 0.25 for 25%) [1]. For these flags, memory sizes are typically specified in bytes, with scaling suffixes such as k/K (kilobytes), m/M (megabytes), or g/G (gigabytes) [1]. For example, setting the direct memory limit to 1 megabyte can be done as: -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=1m [1]

💡 Result:
The ExitOnOutOfMemoryError flag and container cgroup OOM kills are independent mechanisms [1]. ExitOnOutOfMemoryError is a JVM-specific flag that triggers a JVM termination only when the JVM encounters a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError exception during its internal operations (such as heap allocation failures) [1]. In contrast, a cgroup OOM (Out of Memory) kill is an external event initiated by the Linux kernel when a container exceeds its configured memory limit. Because this action is performed by the host kernel at the operating system level, the JVM is unaware of the event and does not process it as a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError [1]. Consequently, the ExitOnOutOfMemoryError flag will not trigger in response to a cgroup OOM kill; the container process is simply terminated by the kernel [1].
Citations:
Keep JVM memory maxima below the 256 MiB cgroup limit.
If the runtime limit is 256 MiB, the heap, metaspace, and direct-memory maxima already total about 259.2 MiB. ReservedCodeCacheSize=64m and other native allocations add further pressure. Reduce these limits or raise the cgroup limit, then validate peak RSS. ExitOnOutOfMemoryError cannot prevent a cgroup OOM kill.

문제
힙 상한과 컨테이너 상한이 같아서 힙 혼자 한도를 다 먹을 수 있다. 메타스페이스·코드캐시·스레드 스택·다이렉트 버퍼는 그 위에 쌓이므로, 힙이 상한에 접근하면 OOMKill이 난다.
변경
힙을 45%(약 115 MiB)로 내리고 비힙 영역에 각각 상한을 둬서 전체 풋프린트를 예측 가능하게 만들었다.
