Pipeline: Correct one GKE cluster without vertical pod autoscaling

Correct one Kubernetes cluster with Vertical Pod Autoscaling disabled

Vertical Pod Autoscaling (VPA) is a feature of Kubernetes that allows the Kubernetes control plane to automatically adjust the resource requests and limits of containers in a pod to improve resource utilization. This can help to reduce the cost of running Kubernetes clusters by ensuring that resources are not over-provisioned.

This pipeline allows you to specify a single instance and then either send a notification or attempt to perform a predefined corrective action.

Whilst it is possible to utilise this pipeline standalone, it is usually called from the correct_one_kubernetes_cluster_vertical_pod_autoscaling_disabled_pipeline pipeline.

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run gcp_thrifty.pipeline.correct_one_kubernetes_cluster_vertical_pod_autoscaling_disabled \
  --arg 'conn=<connection.gcp>' \
  --arg 'title=<string>' \
  --arg 'name=<string>' \
  --arg 'location=<string>' \
  --arg 'project=<string>'

Use this pipeline

To call this pipeline from your pipeline, use a step:

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
  pipeline = gcp_thrifty.pipeline.correct_one_kubernetes_cluster_vertical_pod_autoscaling_disabled  
  args = {
    conn = <connection.gcp>
    title = <string>
    name = <string>
    location = <string>
    project = <string>
  }
}
