Hibernate shrinks and expands your cluster on schedule

This utility currently is on best effort support by @Leon Kuperman and @Augustinas Stirbis through community slack

Install hibernate

Run this command to install Hibernate CronJobs

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/castai/hibernate/main/deploy.yaml

Change API key

Create API token with Full Access permissions and encode base64

echo -n "98349587234524jh523452435kj2h4k5h2k34j5h2kj34h5k23h5k2345jhk2" | base64

use this value to update Secret

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: castai-Hibernate
  namespace: castai-agent
type: Opaque
data:
  API_KEY: >-
    CASTAI-API-KEY-REPLACE-ME-WITH-ABOVE==

OR for convenience use one liner

kubectl get secret castai-hibernate -n castai-agent -o json | jq --arg API_KEY "$(echo -n 9834958-CASTAI-API-KEY-REPLACE-ME-5k2345jhk2 | base64)" '.data["API_KEY"]=$API_KEY' | kubectl apply -f -

Set Schedule

Modify the .spec.schedule parameter for the Hibernate-pause and Hibernate-resume cronjobs according to  this syntax. Beginning with Kubernetes v1.25 and later versions, it is possible to define a time zone for a CronJob by assigning a valid time zone name to .spec.timeZone. For instance, by assigning .spec.timeZone: "Etc/UTC", Kubernetes will interpret the schedule with respect to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). To access a list of acceptable time zone options, please refer to the following link: List of Valid Time Zones.

Set API URL

If you need to use a different API URL (e.g. europe for example), you can provide the URL via environment variable:

API_URL = https://api.eu.cast.ai

Default is https://api.cast.ai

How it works

Hibernate-pause Job will

  • Disable Unscheduled Pod Policy (to prevent growing cluster)
  • Prepare Hibernation node (node that will stay hosting essential components)
  • Mark essential Deployments with Hibernation toleration (system critical and with NAMESPACES_TO_KEEP env var)
  • Delete all other nodes (only hibernation node should stay running)

Hibernate-resume Job will

  • Renable Unscheduled Pod Policy to allow cluster to expand to needed size

Override default hibernate-node size

  • Set the HIBERNATE_NODE environment variable to override the default node sizing selections. Make sure the size selected is appropriate for your cloud.

Override default NAMESPACES_TO_KEEP

  • Set the NAMESPACES_TO_KEEP environment variable to override, "opa,istio""

Override default "PROTECT_EVICTION_DISABLED" and set to "true" to prevent the removal of removal-disabled nodes from being removed during hibernate. This looks for the autoscaling.cast.ai/removal-disabled="true" label on a node and if it exists excludes it from being cordoned and deleted.

Development

Create [aks|eks|gke] K8s cluster

  • create file hack/{cloud}/local.auto.tfvars from example, if already have check cluster name
  • run "make aks|eks|gke" to create cluster
  • connect to cluster (az|gcloud|aws) - or best way go to cluster page in cloud and click connect / switch kubectl contex

Run code locally

  • copy cluster_id from console.cast.ai to .env file (example .env.example)
  • uncomment in main.py # local_development = True
  • manually create configMap object
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: castai-hibernate-state
  namespace: castai-agent
  • run end2end tests

Live test and release

should be automated, but this project will be sunset soon

  • modify Makefile to change tags, bump version and rename latest to test, build locally container and push to registry, test this version as smoke test
  • merge PR to main
  • change back tag test to latest and push to registry
