Q: Is this tool discontinued or ready and production safe?

Open rokerkony opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, I would love to use this termination handler, but in the readme is written the following:

This agent is not production hardened yet and so use it with caution.

and the last commit was 9 months ago. Is this project discontinued or just ready to be used?

I would question your sanity considering using preemptive nodes on live environments but I think they mean there is no redundancy. Meaning this might miss the signal because it only runs in one pod per server and has no backup for that nodes signals.

We are using it for our test and staging environments and saving a lot of money because of it and this smooths the transition of services outages from node to node instead of waiting for their timeouts and having some slight outages. We are quite happy with it but YMMV

Do you know if there's some maintained fork around?
