Autoscaler: VPA Helm Chart

Created on 19 Apr 2020  路  10Comments  路  Source: kubernetes/autoscaler

It would be very useful to have a Helm Chart for deploying the Vertical Pod Autoscaler. At the moment its one of the few parts I cant deploy in any kind of idempotent/config management toolchain ( other than using shell execution of course 馃槃)

If there is a recommended one it should be documented somewhere, if not, could someone more familiar with the install scripting look at if there are any blockers to making a helm chart?

@jkbschmid i'm the author of the above chart.

If you look at the cluster-autoscaler Helm chart, it's maintained by the Helm community not the Kubernetes organization.

My feeling is that Kubernetes developpers don't want to take care of application packaging. They just provide raw YAML the same way some open source products just provide source code without DEB or RPM package.

I can understand it because some people, like me, prefer Helm, other people prefer Kustomize and so on.

I've noticed a chart by @sebastien-prudhomme that he may want to contribute:
https://github.com/cowboysysop/charts/tree/master/charts/vertical-pod-autoscaler

Any update on this issue? Is a Helm chart or support for any other deploy tool planned or generally desired?

Found this issue after I created my own chart today. Seems very similar to the other one mentioned here. We will continue to maintain this one for now since it is a component needed by another tool of ours.
