Temporarily take kubernetes cluster offline

ke flag

I have a kuberbetes cluster running in EKS. We use it for testing periodically but mainly it just sits there with all its nodes and costing us.

I am looking for the most elegant way to turn it off so it does not incur costs and turn it back on when needed.

My thought; use eksctl to scale the node group to 0 instances and change it back up when needed.

Is there a more “elegant” way to do this?

Scaling groups to 0 is really the only way, but you will still continue to pay for the running control plane. You may be better off from a cost perspective to use EKS fargate if your pods/containers don't run for most of the day

That’s fine. The bulk of the costs are from the nodes

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
