Something is wrong with Helm Chart v0.29.0...

[timetofaceit]

Hi!

I'm trying to install descheduler using Helm Chart v0.29.0 and set policy profiles in my K8s cluster, but for some reason none of these are working when pods are up... 😢

I see that helm is still installing descheduler with v1alpha1 policy and not accepting v1alpha2. 🤔

Can this be updated / fixed? 🙏

Hi @timetofaceit

Please see duplicate issue here https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/descheduler/issues/1268

As mentioned, you need to unset default value of strategies in order for profiles to take over

deschedulerPolicy:
  strategies:

Hi! @a7i

Yes, it works when you unset strategies, but the problem is that there is no support for minReplicas variable because I get this error:

I0429 08:30:02.818166 1 tlsconfig.go:240] "Starting DynamicServingCertificateController" E0429 08:30:02.819117 1 server.go:96] "descheduler server" err="failed decoding descheduler's policy config \"/policy-dir/policy.yaml\": strict decoding error: unknown field \"minReplicas\"" E0429 08:30:02.819145 1 run.go:74] "command failed" err="failed decoding descheduler's policy config \"/policy-dir/policy.yaml\": strict decoding error: unknown field \"minReplicas\""

Also topologySpreadConstraints is also not supported, because this helm version - 0.29.0 just doesn't have this variable and uses old helm config... 😢

Another question is why to make code updates to master branch but don't create a new release version?

Hi @timetofaceit can you please share your policy yaml so I can guide you on setting it up for v1alpha2?

minReplicas is available, please see README.md

Example:

profiles:
  - name: default
    pluginConfig:
    - name: "DefaultEvictor"
      args:
        minReplicas: 2

Hi! @a7i

Sure!

Yes I see that they are available, but I'm getting the same error that I mentioned previously. 😕

My helm chart values file config looks like this now:

deschedulerPolicyAPIVersion: descheduler/v1alpha2

deschedulerPolicy:

    - name: Default

oh right!

minReplicas capability was added by me here: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/descheduler/pull/1257

This is not part of release v0.29 and is scheduled for release v0.30 (should be out soon).

Please use the README from this release branch: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/descheduler/tree/release-1.29

Ok, thanks for the info! 👍

Will close this now.
