Workload Types

Valid values for the workload type are the case-insensitive kubernetes resource names of the workloads.

Cronjobs​

  • id: cronjobs
  • resource: cronjob.v1.batch

Scales by setting the cronjobs suspend property to true, which halts further scheduled runs of the Cronjob.

Daemonsets​

  • id: daemonsets
  • resource: daemonset.v1.apps

Scales by setting the node selector to match none of the nodes, which stops pods from running on any node.

Deployments​

  • id: deployments
  • resource: deployment.v1.apps

Scales by setting the replica count to the downscale replicas.

HPAs​

  • id: horizontalpodautoscalers
  • resource: horizontalpodautoscaler.v2.autoscaling

Scales by setting the minReplicas to the downscale replicas. If the downscale replicas are less than 1 it will throw an error.

Jobs​

  • id: jobs
  • resource: job.v1.batch

Scales by setting the suspend property to true, which stops the execution of the job until it is upscaled again.

PodDisruptionBudgets​

  • id: poddisruptionbudgets
  • resource: poddisruptionbudget.v1.policy

Scales by setting the maxUnavailable or minAvailable properties (depending on which one is used) to the downscale replicas. If minAvailable or maxUnavailable are percentiles instead of replica counts, scaling will be skipped.

ScaledObjects​

  • id: scaledobjects
  • resource: scaledobject.v1alpha1.keda.sh

Scales by setting the paused replicas annotation to the downscale replicas, which scales the workloads managed by the scaled object to the downscale replicas.

Statefulsets​

  • id: statefulsets
  • resource: statefulset.v1.apps

Scales by setting the replica count to the downscale replicas.

Rollouts​

  • id: Rollouts
  • resource: rollout.v1alpha1.argoproj.io

Scales by setting the replica count to the downscale replicas.

Stacks​

  • id: stacks
  • resource: stack.v1.zalando.org

Scales by setting the replica count to the downscale replicas.

Prometheuses​

  • id: prometheuses
  • resource: prometheus.v1.monitoring.coreos.com

Scales by setting the replica count to the downscale replicas.
