cluster-overprovisioner

cluster-overprovisioner

This chart provide a buffer for cluster autoscaling to allow overprovisioning of cluster nodes. This is desired when you have work loads that need to scale up quickly without waiting for the new cluster nodes to be created and join the cluster.

It works by creating a deployment that creates pods of a lower than default PriorityClass. These pods request resources from the cluster but don't actually consume any resources. These pods are then evicted allowing other normal pods to be created while also triggering a scale-up by the cluster-autoscaler.

This approach is the current recommended method to achieve overprovisioning.

How to install this chart

Add Delivery Hero public chart repo:

helm repo add deliveryhero https://charts.deliveryhero.io/

A simple install with default values:

helm install deliveryhero/cluster-overprovisioner

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

helm install my-release deliveryhero/cluster-overprovisioner

To install with some set values:

helm install my-release deliveryhero/cluster-overprovisioner --set values_key1=value1 --set values_key2=value2

To install with custom values file:

helm install my-release deliveryhero/cluster-overprovisioner -f values.yaml
