Issued: 23 October 2024

The following advisory is available for the Kube Descheduler Operator 5.1.0:

New features and enhancements

  • Two new descheduler profiles are now available:

    • CompactAndScale: This profile attempts to evict pods from underutilized nodes to allow a workload to run on a smaller set of nodes.

    • LongLifecycle: This profile balances resource usage between nodes and enables the RemovePodsHavingTooManyRestarts and LowNodeUtilization strategies.

  • For the CompactAndScale profile, you can use the Technology Preview field devHighNodeUtilizationThresholds to adjust the underutilized threshold value.

Bug fixes

  • This release of the Kube Descheduler Operator addresses several Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs).
