Quick start with Visual Studio Code Remote - Containers
This helps you pull and build quickly - dev containers launch the project inside a container with all the tooling required for a consistent and seamless developer experience.
This means you don't have to install and configure your dev environment as the container handles this for you.
To get started install VSCode and the Remote Containers extensions
Clone the repo and launch code:
git clone git@github.com:kedacore/keda.git
cd keda
code .
Once VSCode launches run CTRL+SHIFT+P -> Remote-Containers: Reopen in container
and then use the integrated
terminal to run:
make build
Note: The first time you run the container it will take some time to build and install the tooling. The image will be cached so this is only required the first time.
This project is using Operator SDK framework, make sure you
have installed the right version. To check the current version used for KEDA check the RELEASE_VERSION
in file
tools/build-tools.Dockerfile.
git clone git@github.com:kedacore/keda.git
cd keda
make build
If the build process fails due to some "checksum mismatch" errors, make sure that GOPROXY
and GOSUMDB
environment variables are set properly.
With Go installation on Fedora, for example, it could happen they are wrong.
go env GOPROXY GOSUMDB
direct
off
If not set properly you can just run.
go env -w GOPROXY=https://proxy.golang.org,direct GOSUMDB=sum.golang.org
The Operator SDK framework allows you to run the operator/controller locally outside the cluster without a need of building an image. This should help during development/debugging of KEDA Operator or Scalers.
Note: This approach works only on Linux or macOS.
To have fully operational KEDA we need to deploy Metrics Server first.
- Deploy CRDs and KEDA into
keda
namespacemake deploy
- Scale in
keda-operator
Deploymentkubectl scale deployment/keda-operator --replicas=0 -n keda
- Run the operator locally with the default Kubernetes config file present at
$HOME/.kube/config
and change the operator log level via--zap-log-level=
if neededmake run ARGS="--zap-log-level=debug"
If you want to change KEDA's behaviour, or if you have created a new scaler (more docs on this to come) and you want to deploy it as part of KEDA. Do the following:
- Make your change in the code.
- Build and publish images with your changes,
IMAGE_REPO
should point to your repository,IMAGE_REGISTRY
allows you to use registry of your choice eg. quay.io, default isghcr.io
IMAGE_REGISTRY=docker.io IMAGE_REPO=johndoe make publish
- Deploy KEDA with your custom images.
IMAGE_REGISTRY=docker.io IMAGE_REPO=johndoe make deploy
- Once the KEDA pods are up, check the logs to verify everything running ok, eg:
kubectl logs -l app=keda-operator -n keda -f kubectl logs -l app=keda-metrics-apiserver -n keda -f
KEDA uses certificates to encrypt any HTTP communication. Inside the cluster, certificates are mounted from a secret but locally debugging that isn't possible, so the generation of those certificates is required (or KEDA won't start).
All components inspect the folder /certs
for any certificates inside it. Argument --cert-dir
can be used to specify another folder to be used as a source for certificates. You can generate the certificates (assuming the default path) using openssl
:
mkdir -p /certs
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -subj '/CN=localhost' -nodes -keyout /certs/tls.key -x509 -days 3650 -out /certs/tls.crt
cp /certs/tls.crt /certs/ca.crt
Follow these instructions if you want to debug the KEDA operator using VS Code.
- Create a
launch.json
file inside the.vscode/
folder in the repo with the following configuration:Refer to this for more information about debugging with VS Code.{ "configurations": [ { "name": "Launch operator", "type": "go", "request": "launch", "mode": "debug", "program": "${workspaceFolder}/cmd/operator/main.go", "env": { "WATCH_NAMESPACE": "", "KEDA_CLUSTER_OBJECT_NAMESPACE": "keda" } } ] }
- Deploy CRDs and KEDA into
keda
namespacemake deploy
- Scale in
keda-operator
Deploymentkubectl scale deployment/keda-operator --replicas=0 -n keda
- Set breakpoints in the code as required.
- Select
Run > Start Debugging
or pressF5
to start debugging.
Note: You will be able to manually query metrics to your local version of the KEDA Metrics server. You won't replace the KEDA Metrics server deployed on the Kubernetes cluster.
Follow these instructions if you want to debug the KEDA metrics server using VS Code.
- Create a
launch.json
file inside the.vscode/
folder in the repo with the following configuration:Refer to this for more information about debugging with VS Code.{ "configurations": [ { "name": "Launch metrics-server", "type": "go", "request": "launch", "mode": "auto", "program": "${workspaceFolder}/cmd/adapter/main.go", "env": { "WATCH_NAMESPACE": "", "KEDA_CLUSTER_OBJECT_NAMESPACE": "keda" }, "args": [ "--authentication-kubeconfig=PATH_TO_YOUR_KUBECONFIG", "--authentication-skip-lookup", "--authorization-kubeconfig=PATH_TO_YOUR_KUBECONFIG", "--lister-kubeconfig=PATH_TO_YOUR_KUBECONFIG", "--secure-port=6443", "--v=5" ], } ] }
- Deploy CRDs and KEDA into
keda
namespacemake deploy
- Set breakpoints in the code as required.

or pressF5
to start debugging.
In order to perform queries against the metrics server, you need to use an authenticated user (with enough permissions) or give permissions over external metrics API to system:anonymous
.
To grant access over external metrics API to system:anonymous
, you only need to deploy this manifest (and remove it once you have finished):
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: grant-anonymous-access-to-external-metrics
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: ClusterRole
name: keda-external-metrics-reader
subjects:
- kind: User
name: system:anonymous
namespace: default
NOTE: This granting allows to any unauthenticated user to do any operation in external metrics API, this is potentially unsecure, and we strongly discourage doing it on production clusters.
You can query list metrics executing curl --insecure https://localhost:6443/apis/external.metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/
or query a specific metrics value executing curl --insecure https://localhost:6443/apis/external.metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/namespaces/NAMESPACE/METRIC_NAME
(similar to the process using kubectl get --raw
but using curl --insecure https://localhost:6443
instead)
If you prefer to use an authenticated user, you can use a user or service account with access over external metrics API adding their token as authorization header in curl
, ie: curl -H "Authorization:Bearer TOKEN" --insecure https://localhost:6443/apis/external.metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/
Follow these instructions if you want to debug the KEDA webhook using VS Code.

Create a
launch.json
file inside the.vscode/
folder in the repo with the following configuration:{ "configurations": [ { "name": "Launch webhooks", "type": "go", "request": "launch", "mode": "auto", "program": "${workspaceFolder}/cmd/webhooks/main.go", "env": { "WATCH_NAMESPACE": "", "KEDA_CLUSTER_OBJECT_NAMESPACE": "keda" }, "args": [ "--zap-log-level=debug", "--zap-encoder=console", "--zap-time-encoding=rfc3339" ] }, ] }
Refer to this for more information about debugging with VS Code.
-
Expose your local instance to internet. If you can't expose it directly, you can use something like localtunnel using the command
lt --port 9443 --local-https --allow-invalid-cert
after installing the tool. -
Update the
admissing_webhooks.yaml
inconfig/webhooks
, replacing the section (but not commiting this change)webhooks: - admissionReviewVersions: - v1 clientConfig: service: name: keda-admission-webhooks namespace: keda path: /validate-keda-sh-v1alpha1-scaledobject
with the section:
webhooks: - admissionReviewVersions: - v1 clientConfig: url: "https://${YOUR_URL}/validate-keda-sh-v1alpha1-scaledobject"
Note: You need to define also the key
caBundle
with the CA bundle encoded in base64. ThiscaBundle
is the pem file from the CA used to sign the certificate. Remember to disable thecaBundle
inyection to avoid unintended rewrites of yourcaBundle
(by KEDA operator or by any other 3rd party) -
Deploy CRDs and KEDA into
keda
namespacemake deploy
-
Set breakpoints in the code as required.

Select
Run > Start Debugging
or pressF5
to start debugging.
When you are working with devcontainers, Visual Studio Code and all the related programs (like kubectl
or debugging binary) run inside the container. This means that if you are using local clusters like Kind or minikube you won't be able to access them because localhost is the container itself and not the host machine where the cluster is running.
To solve this and be able to work with devcontainers and a local cluster, you should follow this official documentation from Microsoft.
You can change default log levels for both KEDA Operator and Metrics Server. KEDA Operator uses Operator SDK logging mechanism.
To change the logging level, find --zap-log-level=
argument in Operator Deployment section in config/manager/manager.yaml
file or in Webhooks Deployment section in config/webhooks/webhooks.yaml
file, modify its value and redeploy.
Allowed values are debug
, info
, error
, or an integer value greater than 0
, specified as string
Default value: info
To change the logging format, find --zap-encoder=
argument in Operator Deployment section in config/manager/manager.yaml
file or in Webhooks Deployment section in config/webhooks/webhooks.yaml
file, modify its value and redeploy.
Allowed values are json
and console
Default value: console
To change the logging time encoding, find --zap-time-encoding=
argument in Operator Deployment section in config/manager/manager.yaml
file or in Webhooks Deployment section in config/webhooks/webhooks.yaml
file, modify its value and redeploy.
Allowed values are epoch
, millis
, nano
, iso8601
, rfc3339
or rfc3339nano
Default value: rfc3339
Note: Example of some of the logging time encoding values and the output:
epoch - 1.6533943565181081e+09
iso8601 - 2022-05-24T12:10:19.411Z
rfc3339 - 2022-05-24T12:07:40Z
rfc3339nano - 2022-05-24T12:10:19.411Z
Find --v=0
argument in Operator Deployment section in config/metrics-server/deployment.yaml
file, modify its value and redeploy.
Allowed values are "0"
for info, "4"
for debug, or an integer value greater than 0
, specified as string
Default value: "0"
