Scale to Zero Replicas

To autoscale everything in a cluster off except for the operator pod, add this line to the top-level spec:

Scale to Zero Setting
1
scale_off : true

Only the operator pod remains running, to allow scaling back up.

spec:
  kubernetes_profile: gcp
  hydrolix_url: https://hostname.hydrolix.live
  env:
    EMAIL_PASSWORD:
  db_bucket_region: us-central1
  scale_off: true  # Turn everything off

It takes a few minutes for all components to scale down.

To scale back up, remove scale_off : true and apply the changes to the hydrolixcluster.yaml file.
