stable/k8s-spot-termination-handler/README.md
As of Nov 13, 2020, charts in this repo will no longer be updated. For more information, see the Helm Charts Deprecation and Archive Notice, and Update.
This chart installs the k8s-spot-termination-handler as a daemonset across the cluster nodes.
This chart is deprecated and no longer supported.
Spot instances on EC2 come with significant cost savings, but with the burden of instance being terminated if the market price goes higher than the maximum price you have configured.
The termination handler watches the AWS Metadata API for termination requests and starts draining the node so that it can be terminated safely. Optionally it can also send a message to a Slack channel informing that a termination notice has been received.
You should install into the kube-system namespace, but this is not a requirement. The following example assumes this has been chosen.
helm install stable/k8s-spot-termination-handler --namespace kube-system
