Label Filters

Introduction to Label Filters

The k8s-cleaner has the ability to select resources based on a label. This capability allows precise resource management.

Example - Label Filters

The example below, provides a definition of eliminating Deployments in the test namespace with both the serving=api and the environment!=production labels set.

---
apiVersion: apps.projectsveltos.io/v1alpha1
kind: Cleaner
metadata:
  name: cleaner-sample1
spec:
  schedule: "* 0 * * *" # Executes every day at midnight
  resourcePolicySet:
    resourceSelectors:
    - namespace: test
      kind: Deployment
      group: "apps"
      version: v1
      labelFilters:
      - key: serving
        operation: Equal
        value: api # Identifies Deployments with "serving" label set to "api"
      - key: environment
        operation: Different
        value: production # Identifies Deployments with "environment" label different from "production"
  action: Delete # Deletes matching Deployments

By utilising the label filters capability, we can refine the scope of resource management, ensuring that only specific resources are targeted for removal and/or update.

This approach helps maintain a clean and organised Kubernetes environment without affecting unintended resources.
