Kubernetes Cluster - automatically scheduling your cluster

9/12/2018

I have a question regarding Kubernetes Cluster - I've been dealing with IBM Cloud service in particular.

I was actually thinking if it was possible to automatically scheduling cluster to shut down for a certain period of time and what is the procedure to do this?

For example, if I don't use my machines in the evening, I wonder if I can shut them down and restart them again in the early morning. Thanks a lot for your support, Giulio

You cannot automatically schedule a cluster to shut down.

You can manually scale up or down a worker pool. You could also do some custom scripting if you wanted to do that using the IKS API: https://containers.bluemix.net/swagger-api/
