Type
object

2.1. Specification

PropertyTypeDescription

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

Type
object
PropertyTypeDescription

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

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

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.

PropertyTypeDescription

behavior

object

HorizontalPodAutoscalerBehavior configures the scaling behavior of the target in both Up and Down directions (scaleUp and scaleDown fields respectively).

maxReplicas

integer

maxReplicas is the upper limit for the number of replicas to which the autoscaler can scale up. It cannot be less that minReplicas.

metrics

array

metrics contains the specifications for which to use to calculate the desired replica count (the maximum replica count across all metrics will be used). The desired replica count is calculated multiplying the ratio between the target value and the current value by the current number of pods. Ergo, metrics used must decrease as the pod count is increased, and vice-versa. See the individual metric source types for more information about how each type of metric must respond. If not set, the default metric will be set to 80% average CPU utilization.

metrics[]

object

MetricSpec specifies how to scale based on a single metric (only type and one other matching field should be set at once).

minReplicas

integer

minReplicas is the lower limit for the number of replicas to which the autoscaler can scale down. It defaults to 1 pod. minReplicas is allowed to be 0 if the alpha feature gate HPAScaleToZero is enabled and at least one Object or External metric is configured. Scaling is active as long as at least one metric value is available.
