Pipeline: Detect & correct Kubernetes clusters exceeding max age

Detect & correct Kubernetes clusters exceeding max age

Overview

Kubernetes clusters can be expensive to run, especially when they are not being used. This pipeline detects Kubernetes clusters that have exceeded a certain age and then either sends a notification or attempts to perform a predefined corrective action.

This pipeline detects kubernetes clusters that have exceeded a certain age and then either sends a notification or attempts to perform a predefined corrective action.

Getting Started

This control will work out-of-the-box with some sensible defaults (configurable via variables).

You should be able to simply run the following command in your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run detect_and_correct_kubernetes_clusters_exceeding_max_age

By default, Flowpipe runs in wizard mode and prompts directly in the terminal for a decision on the action(s) to take for each detected resource.

However, you can run Flowpipe in server mode with external integrations, allowing it to prompt for input via http, slack, teams, etc.

Alternatively, you can choose to configure and run in other modes:

Notify: Provides detections without taking any corrective action.
Automatic: Performs corrective actions automatically without user intervention.

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run gcp_thrifty.pipeline.detect_and_correct_kubernetes_clusters_exceeding_max_age

Use this pipeline

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

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
  pipeline = gcp_thrifty.pipeline.detect_and_correct_kubernetes_clusters_exceeding_max_age  
}
