Cluster Chart : Descheduler
This helm chart is used to deploy the KubeDescheduler operator to help you evict pods based on specific strategies so that the pods can be rescheduled onto more appropriate nodes.
This chart is part of the cluster-xxx startx helm chart series that doesn’t necessarily deploy pods but rather represent a cluster configuration state orchestrated by gitops tools like ArgoCD.
