Python mini project with kubernetes-client/python

A mini project to hang aroung with python and kubernetes-client/python.

This is an exporter that can run either inside the cluster or from outside pointing to a kubeconfig and exports persistent volumes that in various states.

Intentions

If your storageclass has the reclaimPolicy: Retain, it's useful once your deployment crashes because your volumes will still retain in your cluster. The downside however is, that this might blow up your storage backends due to "orphaned" volumes.

The exporter fetches volumes from the cluster with their name, their state and their creation_timestamp. You then can fetch metrics and create alerts via Prometheus if a volume is released and older than a desired amount of days.

Testing with kind

cat <<EOF | kind create cluster --config=-
kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
nodes:

    kind: InitConfiguration
    nodeRegistration:
      kubeletExtraArgs:
        node-labels: "ingress-ready=true"
  extraPortMappings:
  - containerPort: 80
    hostPort: 80
    protocol: TCP
  - containerPort: 443
