ClusterAutoscaler [autoscaling.openshift.io/v1]

Description
ClusterAutoscaler is the Schema for the clusterautoscalers API
Type
`object`

Specification

Property Type Description
apiVersion string APIVersion defines the versioned schema of this representation of an object. Servers should convert recognized schemas to the latest internal value, and may reject unrecognized values. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#resources
kind string Kind is a string value representing the REST resource this object represents. Servers may infer this from the endpoint the client submits requests to. Cannot be updated. In CamelCase. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds
metadata ObjectMeta Standard object’s metadata. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#metadata
spec object Desired state of ClusterAutoscaler resource
status object Most recently observed status of ClusterAutoscaler resource

.spec

Description
Desired state of ClusterAutoscaler resource
Type
`object`
Property Type Description
balanceSimilarNodeGroups boolean BalanceSimilarNodeGroups enables/disables the --balance-similar-node-groups cluster-autoscaler feature. This feature will automatically identify node groups with the same instance type and the same set of labels and try to keep the respective sizes of those node groups balanced.
balancingIgnoredLabels array (string) BalancingIgnoredLabels sets "--balancing-ignore-label <label name>" flag on cluster-autoscaler for each listed label. This option specifies labels that cluster autoscaler should ignore when considering node group similarity. For example, if you have nodes with "topology.ebs.csi.aws.com/zone" label, you can add name of this label here to prevent cluster autoscaler from spliting nodes into different node groups based on its value.
expanders array (string) Sets the type and order of expanders to be used during scale out operations. This option specifies an ordered list, highest priority first, of expanders that will be used by the cluster autoscaler to select node groups for expansion when scaling out. Expanders instruct the autoscaler on how to choose node groups when scaling out the cluster. They can be specified in order so that the result from the first expander is used as the input to the second, and so forth. For example, if set to [LeastWaste, Random] the autoscaler will first evaluate node groups to determine which will have the least resource waste, if multiple groups are selected the autoscaler will then randomly choose between those groups to determine the group for scaling. The following expanders are available: * LeastWaste - selects the node group that will have the least idle CPU (if tied, unused memory) after scale-up. * Priority - selects the node group that has the highest priority assigned by the user. For details, please see https://github.com/openshift/kubernetes-autoscaler/blob/master/cluster-autoscaler/expander/priority/readme.md * Random - selects the node group randomly. If not specified, the default value is Random, available options are: LeastWaste, Priority, Random.
ignoreDaemonsetsUtilization boolean Enables/Disables --ignore-daemonsets-utilization CA feature flag. Should CA ignore DaemonSet pods when calculating resource utilization for scaling down. false by default
logVerbosity integer Sets the autoscaler log level. Default value is 1, level 4 is recommended for DEBUGGING and level 6 will enable almost everything.
This option has priority over log level set by the CLUSTER_AUTOSCALER_VERBOSITY environment variable.
maxNodeProvisionTime string Maximum time CA waits for node to be provisioned
maxPodGracePeriod integer Gives pods graceful termination time before scaling down
podPriorityThreshold integer To allow users to schedule "best-effort" pods, which shouldn’t trigger Cluster Autoscaler actions, but only run when there are spare resources available, More info: https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/blob/master/cluster-autoscaler/FAQ.md#how-does-cluster-autoscaler-work-with-pod-priority-and-preemption
resourceLimits object Constraints of autoscaling resources
scaleDown object Configuration of scale down operation
scaleUp object Configuration of scale up operation
skipNodesWithLocalStorage boolean Enables/Disables --skip-nodes-with-local-storage CA feature flag. If true cluster autoscaler will never delete nodes with pods with local storage, e.g. EmptyDir or HostPath. true by default at autoscaler

gpus[] object
maxNodesTotal integer Maximum number of nodes in all node groups. Cluster autoscaler will not grow the cluster beyond this number.

type string The type of GPU to associate with the minimum and maximum limits.

Query parameters

Parameter Type Description
dryRun string When present, indicates that modifications should not be persisted. An invalid or unrecognized dryRun directive will result in an error response and no further processing of the request. Valid values are: - All: all dry run stages will be processed
fieldValidation string fieldValidation instructs the server on how to handle objects in the request (POST/PUT/PATCH) containing unknown or duplicate fields. Valid values are: - Ignore: This will ignore any unknown fields that are silently dropped from the object, and will ignore all but the last duplicate field that the decoder encounters. This is the default behavior prior to v1.23. - Warn: This will send a warning via the standard warning response header for each unknown field that is dropped from the object, and for each duplicate field that is encountered. The request will still succeed if there are no other errors, and will only persist the last of any duplicate fields. This is the default in v1.23+ - Strict: This will fail the request with a BadRequest error if any unknown fields would be dropped from the object, or if any duplicate fields are present. The error returned from the server will contain all unknown and duplicate fields encountered.
