Abstract
System and method for terminating instances and autoscaling instance groups of computing platforms. For example, a method includes determining whether an instance of an instance group is identified as eligible for termination. The method further includes, in response to determining that the instance of the instance group is identified as eligible for termination, terminating the eligible instance. The terminating the eligible instance includes, in response to a runtime of the eligible instance being equal to or larger than a predetermined maximum lifetime, terminating the eligible instance. The terminating the eligible instance further includes, in response to the runtime being smaller than the predetermined maximum lifetime, detaching the eligible instance from the instance group to allow a new instance to be associated with the instance group, and in response to the eligible instance being detached from the instance group: waiting for the new instance to be associated with the instance group, and evicting each pod associated with the detached instance. The method is performed using one or more processors.
