Kube-green is now available

We’re happy to announce that kube-green is now available as an optional component in our Kubernetes stack. Kube-green automatically shuts down and restarts workloads on a defined schedule, helping you reduce resource consumption and cloud costs for environments.

With kube-green, you can define sleep schedules per namespace using SleepInfo custom resources. Deployments and StatefulSets are scaled to zero during off-hours (e.g. nights and weekends) and automatically restored when business hours begin. You can also suspend CronJobs and exclude specific workloads that need to remain running.

To get started, ask your Skyscrapers engineer to enable kube-green on your cluster, or set kube_green.enabled: true in your cluster definition.
