pod-cleanup-operator

A kubernetes operator that deletes terminating, completed or failed pods after certain predefined time interval

Description

This operator finds pods in “bad” or “completed” states and forcibly delete them from the cluster, in order to avoid delaying deployments, or causing load on the Kubernetes API server.

Getting Started

You’ll need a Kubernetes cluster to run against. You can use KIND to get a local cluster for testing, or run against a remote cluster. Note: Your controller will automatically use the current context in your kubeconfig file (i.e. whatever cluster kubectl cluster-info shows).

Running on the cluster

1. Build and push your image to the location specified by IMG:

make docker-build docker-push IMG=<some-registry>/pod-cleanup-operator:tag

1. Deploy the operator as well as monitoring stack to the cluster with the image specified by IMG:

make deploy IMG=<some-registry>/pod-cleanup-operator:tag

Uninstall CRDs

To delete the CRDs from the cluster:

make uninstall

Undeploy operator

UnDeploy the operator to the cluster:

make undeploy

How it works

This project aims to follow the Kubernetes Operator pattern

It uses Controllers which provides a reconcile function responsible for synchronizing resources untile the desired state is reached on the cluster

Test It Out

1. Install the CRDs into the cluster:

make install

1. Run your controller (this will run in the foreground, so switch to a new terminal if you want to leave it running):

make run

NOTE: You can also run this in one step by running: make install run

Modifying the API definitions

If you are editing the API definitions, generate the manifests such as CRs or CRDs using:

make manifests

NOTE: Run make --help for more information on all potential make targets
