Scale-to-zero
Yann Léger
To reduce costs on applications which do not have constant traffic and are not latency sensitive, a scale-to-zero feature would be useful.

Building off of Seth's suggestion, it would also be nice to make sure this is a toggle switch, for those who may want services running 24/7.

Is there a way to scale back up after a request comes in? I think this is a great idea but would really love a way to scale back up to 1 after a user hits it after a long downtime
Yann Léger
Kevin Bird: Yes, that's the target. The feature will scale-to-zero if there is no request for a specific amount of time and automatic scale back when requests hit the service mesh depending on the autoscaling parameters.

Perhaps an additional nice to have feature would be to only scale-to-zero during specific time slots. Although this might be a different use-case then auto scale-to-zero.
Yann Léger
Seth: Are you thinking about completely suspending services during specific time slots or only enabling scale-to-zero during specific time?
I think this is something which Scheduled jobs can accomplish, but it would indeed be even easier to setup if it was completely built-in.
