kube-green
summary
kube-green is an open-source Kubernetes operator that scales non-production namespaces to zero on a schedule using a custom CRD and a controller loop, and it runs in k3d or cloud clusters. The operator reduces resource allocation (about 2 vCPU and 15 GB in a two‑week install), removes ~400 pods overnight/weekends and the equivalent capacity of several nodes, and includes a live demo of scaling pods to 0 and restoring them; planned features are custom metrics and wake-on-HTTP/RabbitMQ.
