Cluster update times out while fetching compute node LaunchTemplates for queues #7519
When queue settings are changed and the cluster is updated with pcluster update-cluster, the process times out while the Chef run on the head node retrieves the Compute Node LaunchTemplates associated with the queues.
We believe this occurs because the current implementation assumes that processing all queues will complete within 30 seconds.
As a temporary workaround, we changed the timeout setting from 30 to 300 directly in the following file:
As the number of queues increases, simply extending the timeout does not provide a fundamental solution. The timeout should apply to the processing of each queue rather than to the processing of all queues together.
@hgreebe Thank you for your reply. Our configuration is as follows. Although there are 23 queues, since we have an internal proxy set up, it’s possible that communication with the AWS API from the Head Node is taking some time. I’m not entirely sure about the specific changes made to the cluster, but I believe we added about one or two queues.

Hello,
Could you provide a cluster configuration and what update you are making?
How many queues are in your cluster?
