EvictionOperator

The eviction operator allows workloads to opt-in to being evicted after some amount of time.

The main purpose of this operator is to allow pods that have been scheduled on nonpreferred nodes (via nodeAffinity) to evict themselves in hopes that the Kubernetes scheduler will place them on a preferred node.

Installation

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bonny-k8s/eviction_operator/master/manifest.yaml

This will deploy the latest kubernetes manifests running the eviction-operator Docker Image.

Usage

tl;dr: A full example is here.

This operator functions in two modes:

• all will evict all matching pods no matter what node they are on
• nonpreferred will evict any matching pod on a node that does not meet the pod's preferred nodeAffinity.

all example resource:

This would evict any pod matching the label app:nginx after 300 seconds.

apiVersion: eviction-operator.bonny.run/v1
kind: EvictionPolicy
metadata:
  name: all-nginx
spec:
  mode: all # nonpreferred; evict off all nodes or only nonpreferred nodes
  maxLifetime: 300 # in seconds
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: nginx

nonpreferred example resource:

First, workloads will need to specify a preferred nodeAffinity:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nginx-deployment
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: nginx
  replicas: 10
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      affinity:
        nodeAffinity:
          preferredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
            - weight: 1
              preference:
                matchExpressions:
                  - key: node-type
                    operator: In
                    values:
                      - preemptible
      containers:
        - name: nginx
          image: nginx:1.7.9
          ports:
            - containerPort: 80

Then an EvictionPolicy can be added to match all pods on nonpreferred nodes.

apiVersion: eviction-operator.bonny.run/v1
kind: EvictionPolicy
metadata:
  name: nonpreferred-nodes-nginx
spec:
  mode: nonpreferred
  maxLifetime: 300 # in seconds
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: nginx
