kubectl-ttl

A kubectl plugin to add time-to-live option to Kubernetes resources.

Story time (Why?)

The story behind the creation of this tool is quite straight forward, we just required a tool to somehow kill/clean resources after certain point of time.

To facilitate the above mentioned process, kubectl-ttl came into existence just to help myself and others in the K8s community to use the tool and make life easier.

How?

Nothing complex, based on the command parameters the tool creates a job within the namespace with the appropriate role to delete the given resources at a particular time within the namespace.

Usage

#Default ttl of 15mins for a particular resource
kubectl get deployments -o yaml | kubectl ttl

#Custom ttl for 10mins for a particular resource
kubectl get pods -o yaml | kubectl ttl -t 10
