Drainer

Drainer is the component to drain pods off the node before terminating. It may drain and terminate nodes for three reasons:

• spot_interruption

• node_migration

• scaling_down

NOTE: all settings are only compatible with Kubernetes clusters.

Drainer Batch

The Drainer batch is the entrypoint of the draining logic.

The batch code can be invoked from the clusterman.batch.drainer Python module.

Pool Configuration

The behaviour of the drainer logic for a pool is controlled by the draining section of the pool configuration. The allowed values for the drainer settings are as follows:

• draining_time_threshold_seconds: maximum time to complete draining process (1800 by default)

• redraining_delay_seconds: how much to wait between draining tries in case of draining failure (15 by default).

• force_terminate: forcibly terminate the node after reaching draining_time_threshold_seconds (false by default).

See Pool Configuration for how an example configuration block would look like.
