Update the Vertical Pod Autoscaler Project (VPA)

Cloud service provider relevance: EKS, AKS, and GKE.

To use Ocean's automatic right-sizing feature, you need Vertical Pod Autoscaler project (VPA) 1.4.1 or above installed on your cluster.

If you need to upgrade VPA:

  1. Update your local Helm chart repository cache.

    helm repo update

  2. Run this command to update the ocean-vpa change <ocean-vpa-release-name> and <existing-vpa-namespace> fields according to your cluster.

    helm upgrade --install --wait <ocean-vpa-release-name> spot/ocean-vpa \
    --namespace <existing-vpa-namespace>

  3. Update the vpa crd with the latest version.

    kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spotinst/charts/refs/tags/main/charts/ocean-vpa/crds/vpa-crd.yaml
