+# Descheduler Plugin: Example Implementation
+
+This directory provides an example plugin for the Kubernetes Descheduler,
+demonstrating how to evict pods based on custom criteria. The plugin targets
+pods based on:
+
+* **Name Regex:** Pods matching a specified regular expression.
+* **Age:** Pods older than a defined duration.
+* **Namespace:** Pods within or outside a given list of namespaces (inclusion
+  or exclusion).
+
+## Building and Integrating the Plugin
+
+To incorporate this plugin into your Descheduler build, you must register it
+within the Descheduler's plugin registry. Follow these steps:
+
+1.  **Register the Plugin:**
+    * Modify the `pkg/descheduler/setupplugins.go` file.
+    * Add the following registration line to the end of the
+      `RegisterDefaultPlugins()` function:
+
+    ```go
+    pluginregistry.Register(
+      example.PluginName,
+      example.New,
+      &example.Example{},
+      &example.ExampleArgs{},
+      example.ValidateExampleArgs,
+      example.SetDefaults_Example,
+      registry,
+    )
+    ```
+
+2.  **Generate Code:**
+    * If you modify the plugin's code, execute `make gen` before rebuilding the
+      Descheduler. This ensures generated code is up-to-date.
+
+3.  **Rebuild the Descheduler:**
+    * Build the descheduler with your changes.
+
+## Plugin Configuration
+
+Configure the plugin's behavior using the Descheduler's policy configuration.
+Here's an example:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: descheduler/v1alpha2
+kind: DeschedulerPolicy
+profiles:
+- name: LifecycleAndUtilization
+  plugins:
+    deschedule:
+      enabled:
+        - Example
+  pluginConfig:
+  - name: Example
+    args:
+      regex: ^descheduler-test.*$
+      maxAge: 3m
+      namespaces:
+        include:
+        - default
+```
+
+## Explanation
+
+- `regex: ^descheduler-test.*$`: Evicts pods whose names match the regular
+  expression `^descheduler-test.*$`.
+- `maxAge: 3m`: Evicts pods older than 3 minutes.
+- `namespaces.include: - default`: Evicts pods within the default namespace.
+
+This configuration will cause the plugin to evict pods that meet all three
+criteria: matching the `regex`, exceeding the `maxAge`, and residing in the
+specified namespace.
+
+## Notes
+
+- This plugin is configured through the `ExampleArgs` struct, which defines the
+  plugin's parameters.
+- Plugins must implement a function to validate and another to set the default
+  values for their `Args` struct.
+- The fields in the `ExampleArgs` struct reflect directly into the
+  `DeschedulerPolicy` configuration.
+- Plugins must comply with the `DeschedulePlugin` interface to be registered
+  with the Descheduler.
+- The main functionality of the plugin is implemented in the `Deschedule()`
+  method, which is called by the Descheduler when the plugin is executed.
+- A good amount of descheduling logic can be achieved by means of filters.
+- Whenever a change in the Plugin's configuration is made the developer should
+  regenerate the code by running `make gen`.
