Pods created from Deployment are considered "non-replicated"

Trying to move workloads from on-demand instances to spot instances on a test cluster with guestbook installed with 20 frontend replicas.

The rescheduler fails to move pods with the following error message:

k8s-spot-rescheduler-6b85d59bf5-gxlm7 k8s-spot-rescheduler E1004 11:37:47.920923       1 rescheduler.go:256] Failed to get pods for consideration: staging/frontend-69859f6796-jx7zs is not replicated

adding the flag --delete-non-replicated-pods=true solves this but that is not the right way.
Any suggestions on why this happens?
Also is there any plans to support eviction of pods that contain a specific label? This would help to do a lot of controlled eviction

Hey @harshal-shah, could you please give a bit more detail about the particular environment you are running in, what version of K8s etc

I've not seen this bug manifested before so this is certainly an interesting one 🤔

Also is there any plans to support eviction of pods that contain a specific label? This would help to do a lot of controlled eviction

No plans, though PR welcome if you want to add the feature 🙂

Sure,
We are running on EKS,

I deployed the app using the deploy dir and updated the image tag to v0.3.0
