• Reschedules Pods in CrashLoopBackOff
• Deletes unbound PVCs
• Deletes Failed Pods in Out of CPU/Memory

Reschedules CrashLoopBackOff Pod to fix permanent crashes caused by stale init-container/sidecar/configmap

• Listens to Pod update events and does a Pod list
• Looks for containers in CrashLoopBackOff with restartCount > 5 (failureThreshold config)
• Ignores Pods with annotation kube-remediator/CrashLoopBackOffRemediator: "false"
• Can work in a single namespace, default is all namespaces "" (namespace config)
• Ignores Pods without ownerReferences (Avoid deleting something which does not come back)

Deletes Pods with label kube-remediator/OldPodDeleter=true older than 24h

Reschedules Failed Pods by deleting them, since they are not automatically cleaned up.

• Listens to Pod update events and does a Pod list
• Finds pods in Failed status with reason OutOfCpu, OutofMemory.
• Ignores Pods without ownerReferences (Avoid deleting something which does not come back)
• Ignores Pods for Jobs because they can be automatically cleaned up.
• Deletes the pods in failed status after 5 mins to have time to debug

Deletes Pods that in Completed status for more than 24h.

Deletes PersistentVolumeClaim left behind by deleted StatefulSet, that are not automatically cleaned up otherwise

• Waits for 7 days(configurable) before deleting
• Ignores if PersistentVolume has persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy set to Retain

kubectl apply -f kubernetes/rbac.yaml
kubectl apply -f kubernetes/app-server.yml

Configuration options:

• Deploy provided image to use defaults under config/*
• Make a new image FROM the provided image and add/remove config/*
• Overwrite config/* with a mounted ConfigMap

Run in local kubernetes with docker-for-mac

rake server

Run against local kubernetes cluster with go:

unset GOPATH
go mod vendor # install into local directory instead of global path
make dev # run on cluster from $KUBECONFIG (defaults to ~/.kube/config)

• Run unit tests: make test
• Run a single suite: go test -run TestSuiteFailedPodRescheduler github.com/aksgithub/kube_remediator/pkg/remediator
• Run a single test: comment out all other test in the suite and run the suite. TODO: improve.

# CrashLoopBackOffRemediator: pod is rescheduled after restarting 5 times ?
kubectl apply -f examples/crashloop_pod.yml

# OldPodDeleter: pod is deleted when it gets 24h old ? (best change the 24h in the code to 1min)
kubectl apply -f examples/old_pod.yml

Note: failed expectation in one test can lead to other tests failing. Only run one test when debugging.
