In nonprod, reduce resouces: Reap pod/apps so they don't consume resources on weekend

[anborg]

How to configure this tool for this usecase

1. User deploys an app
2. A central db stores a cron or an uptime-schedule E.g: app should be up on weekdays , 9-5 , US/EST for example.
3. Can pod -reaper reap all app resources that are outside uptime-schedule ? Can you please provide example config?
4. Input for pod-reaper : list of app/labels that need to be down to 0

Sorry for slow response, I was off in the wilderness on a hiking vacation!

It's should be fairly easy to configure pod reaper to kill pods on the weekends. My first thought would be to have it run every 10 seconds or something during the time you don't want things running and have it terminate everything matching the labels.

My concern would be if there's something else trying to reschedule those. It would probably be even worse if during the weekends we were fighting another scheduler (or even a deployment/replicaset) trying to put everything we kill back.
