CronHPA

CronHPA was created by dtaniwaki. We forked because the original version is no longer being actively maintained.

CronHPA is an operator designed to modify Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) resources according to specific schedules. This functionality allows for dynamic adjustments, such as reducing the minimum number of replicas during night-time hours and increasing them during day-time hours.

Here's a CronHPA example.

apiVersion: cron-hpa.ubie-oss.github.com/v1alpha1
kind: CronHorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: cron-hpa-example
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      scaleTargetRef:
        apiVersion: apps/v1
        kind: Deployment
        name: cron-hpa-nginx
      minReplicas: 3
      maxReplicas: 10
      metrics:
      - type: Resource
        resource:
          name: cpu
          target:
            type: Utilization
            averageUtilization: 50
  scheduledPatches:
  - name: daytime
    schedule: "0 8 * * *"
    timezone: "Asia/Tokyo"
  - name: nighttime
    schedule: "0 22 * * *"
    timezone: "Asia/Tokyo"
    patch:
      minReplicas: 1 # Less minimum replicas.
      - type: Resource
        resource:
          name: cpu
          target:
            type: Utilization
            averageUtilization: 70 # More conservative scaling.

How to use CronHPA

Disable CronHPA temporarily

Mark the target HPA resource as below to temporarily skip getting CronHPA's update.

apiVersion: autoscaling/v2
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  annotations:
    cron-hpa.ubie-oss.github.com/skip: "true"
...

Prerequisites

• golangci-lint v1.42.1

Build

Build and load the Docker image to your cluster.

$ make docker-build

# run a command to load the image to your cluster.

If you use a kind cluster, there's a useful shortcut.

$ make kind-load

Deployment

Install the CRD to the cluster.

$ make install

Deploy a controller to the cluster.

$ make deploy

Usage

Now, deploy the samples.

$ make deploy-samples

You will see sample HPA and deployment in the current context, maybe default depending on your env. The HPA resource gets updated periodically by the CronHPA.
