Namespace Scope

The Namespace Scope is the fourth scope available and holds configurations set at namespace level. It overrides values already defined inside the Default Scope, ENV Scope, CLI Scope, but values defined inside the namespace scope can be overridden by Workload Scope. It is only used to set values

Values

At the Namespace Scope, the following values can be configured using annotations to apply scaling policies, exclusions and grace periods

• downscaler/downscale-period
• downscaler/downtime
• downscaler/upscale-period
• downscaler/uptime
• downscaler/exclude
• downscaler/exclude-until
• downscaler/force-uptime
• downscaler/force-downtime
• downscaler/downscale-replicas
• downscaler/grace-period
• downscaler/scale-children

warning

Some annotations are incompatible with others. You can check their compatibility by viewing the dedicated documentation page from the list above.

Usage

The namespace annotations can be set either directly through the Namespace YAML file (e.g. kubectl edit command)

example-namespace.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: example-namespace
  annotations:
    downscaler/downscale-replicas: "1"
    downscaler/exclude: "false"

or by using the kubectl annotate command

kubectl annotate namespace example-namespace downscaler/downscale-replicas="1"
kubectl annotate namespace example-namespace downscaler/exclude="false"
