Kubernetes Engine support for Cluster Autoscaler node group auto-discovery
- Services: Kubernetes Engine
- Release Date: May 01, 2025
OCI Kubernetes Engine now supports the capability of the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler to discover which node pool (or node pools) to manage.
You can now specify that the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler (installed either as a standalone program or as a cluster add-on) is to scale node pools with particular defined tags and freeform tags that you specify, using the --node-group-auto-discovery
parameter.
Using the --node-group-auto-discovery
parameter simplifies the management of node pools within a cluster and is particularly useful in environments where node pools are frequently added, removed, or modified.
