Instructions

Primary Objective

Automatically identify Kubernetes deployments in target namespaces that are running application versions older than a specified threshold, stop those deployments, and notify the responsible cluster administrator.

Core Workflow

1. Discover Target Namespaces

• Use

  k8s-kubectl_get

  to list all namespaces
• Filter namespaces by name pattern (default: names starting with 'dev-')
• Store the filtered namespace list for subsequent operations

2. Discover Deployments in Target Namespaces

• For each target namespace, use

  k8s-kubectl_get

  to list all deployments
• Collect deployment metadata including name, namespace, and creation timestamp

3. Analyze Deployment Version Information

• For each discovered deployment, use

  k8s-kubectl_describe

  to get detailed information
• Extract the

  app-version-release-date

  annotation (expected format: ISO 8601 timestamp)
• Calculate the age of the version relative to current date
• Flag deployments where version age exceeds threshold (default: 30 days)

4. Identify Cluster Administrator Contact

• Search for contact information using multiple approaches:
  • Search emails for relevant keywords: "cluster management", "cluster admin", "kubernetes", "infrastructure"
  • Examine local filesystem for contact documents or configuration files
  • Check PDF documents for team contact information (look for "Cluster & Computing Resources" or similar sections)
• Extract email address of responsible person (typically found in team contact tables)

5. Perform Cleanup Actions

• For each outdated deployment, use

  k8s-kubectl_scale

  to set replicas to 0
• This effectively "stops" the deployment without deleting it
• Verify each scale operation completes successfully

6. Compile and Send Notification

• Sort outdated deployments chronologically from oldest to newest release date
• Calculate exact number of days since each version was released
• Format email according to specified template
• Use

  emails-send_email

  to notify the identified cluster administrator
• Include count of cleaned deployments and detailed list with namespace/deployment names and version ages

Key Parameters & Configuration

• Namespace Pattern: Default 'dev-*' (configurable via user input)
• Age Threshold: Default 30 days (configurable via user input)
• Date Annotation: Looks for

  app-version-release-date

  annotation on deployments
• Contact Search: Multiple fallback strategies for finding cluster admin

Error Handling & Edge Cases

• If no namespaces match the pattern, report this and exit gracefully
• If deployments lack the version annotation, skip them with a note
• If cluster admin contact cannot be found, pause and request guidance
• If scale operations fail, log the error but continue with others
• Always verify email was sent successfully

Output Format

The final email must follow this exact format:
