ABSTRACT*
The blog post introduces a kubectl plugin designed for starting and stopping all the compute nodes of an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Kubernetes cluster, also known as an OKE cluster.

CONTENT
If you want to start or stop all of your OKE data plane cluster nodes you must go to all the nodes and execute the action one by one.
The current post depicts a kubectl plugin extension created for helping you to start/stop your oke clusters.
NOTES: The tool has been developed and tested in Mac. In addition the tool utilises jq which is installed automatically in case it is not.
Take a look at this github page for instructions and code. Here an example of the tool at work:
NOTE: The tool is gonna be submitted soon for approval in the krew-index (like a package manager for kubectl plugins), meanwhile you can install it locally as follows:
git clone https://github.com/javiermugueta/oke-cluster-start-stop.git cd oke-cluster-start-stop kubectl krew install --manifest=oke-cluster-start-stop.yaml --archive=oke-cluster-start-stop-1.0.0.zip
In addition you can execute the tool as a stand alone script as well.
Hope it helps! 🙂

Hi Javier, I was unable to use the tool due to a krew error. Do you have a workaround?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for your interest. Instead of using krew, use this script https://github.com/javiermugueta/oke-cluster-start-stop/blob/master/oke-cluster-start-stop.sh which is included in the repo. Hope it helps!
