Sustainability Schedules
Sustainability Schedules scale deployments to zero outside working hours to cut cost and energy use. Nothing is deleted. While a deployment is scaled to zero, it is described as asleep.
Set up a sustainability schedule
- Create a schedule of type Sustainability from Schedules > New Schedule, and set the days, time zone, and the times to stop and start. See Create a sustainability schedule.
- Add deployments to the schedule by turning on Sustainability Schedule in the Add-Ons step when you create a deployment. See Add a deployment to a sustainability schedule.
After the schedule is running, you can track it from Day-2 Ops as described below.
View your schedules
Select Day-2 Ops in the CAEPE menu, then scroll to Sustainability Schedules. The card shows the total number of schedules, how many are Active, Stopped, Suspended, or in Error, and a short list of your schedules.
To see all schedules and their savings, select View Information on the card. The Sustainability Schedule page opens on the Schedules tab.
Schedules tab
You can filter the tab by schedule, by status (Sleep, Suspended, or Error), and by time range.
Overview
The overview summarises the selected schedules:
- Saved, last 30 days: the cost saved by the schedules.
- Schedules, Deployments, Namespaces, and Clusters: how many are covered by the schedules.
- Slept: the total number of hours that deployments were asleep.
- Total Cluster Cost: the percentage of your deployments that have a schedule, for example 14 of 21 deployments scheduled.
- Needs Attention: schedules that need checking, for example a schedule that is active but not saving.
Savings by schedule
Two charts compare your schedules:
- Cost: the cost saved by each schedule.
- Sleep Hours: the number of hours each schedule kept its deployments asleep.
