Here are 3 cleanups you can apply on your kubernetes cluster:
- Cleans up exited containers and dangling images/volumes running as a DaemonSet (
docker-clean.yml
). - Cleans up old replica sets, finished jobs and unrecycled evicted pods as a CronJob (
k8s-clean.yml
). - Cleans up empty directory (not used anymore) in etcd as a CronJob (
etcd-empty-dir-cleanup.yml
).
You must have batch/v1beta1
enabled on your k8s API server runtime config in order to run the CronJob.
In the DaemonSet (docker-clean.yml
) you can set DOCKER_CLEAN_INTERVAL
to modify the interval when it cleans up exited containers and dangling images/volumes; defaults to 30min (1800s).
In the CronJob (k8s-clean.yml
) you can set DAYS
to modify the maximum age of replica sets; defaults to 7 days.
