Kidle is a kubernetes idling feature to automatically idle or wakeup workloads.

Main features:

• idle and wakeup Deployments, StatefulSets and CronJobs
• idle and wakeup at specified time
• shutdown after some idle time
• automatic wakeup on call
• fancy UI

Demo commands:

# let's create a deployment
kubectl create deploy --image=stefanprodan/podinfo podinfo

# create an IdlingResource for that deployment
bat 01-manual-idlingresource.yaml
kubectl apply -f 01-manual-idlingresource.yaml

# display kidle status
kubectl get idlingresources

# idle manually the deployment then watch the result
kubectl edit ir/podinfo
kubectl get ir,deploy

# use kidlectl to idle or wakeup more easily
kidlectl wakeup podinfo
kubectl get ir,deploy
 

You can deploy kidle using the deploy target. It expects a cluster-admin role and creates a kidle-system namespace. You can select the release you want by setting the TAG= as an environment variable.

$ TAG=main make deploy
$ kubectl get deploy -n kidle-system
NAME                       READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
kidle-controller-manager   1/1     1            1           13d

To uninstall:

make undeploy

If you want to see the kubernetes manifests before applying:
