README

Cluster Autoscaler

Introduction

Cluster Autoscaler is a tool that automatically adjusts the size of the Kubernetes cluster when:

  • there are pods that failed to run in the cluster due to insufficient resources.
  • some nodes in the cluster are so underutilized, for an extended period of time, that they can be deleted and their pods will be easily placed on some other, existing nodes.

Releases

We strongly recommend using Cluster Autoscaler with version for which it was meant. We don't do ANY cross version testing so if you put the newest Cluster Autoscaler on an old cluster there is a big chance that it won't work as expected.

Deployment

Cluster Autoscaler runs on the Kubernetes master node (at least in the default setup on GCE and GKE). It is possible to run customized Cluster Autoscaler inside of the cluster but then extra care needs to be taken to ensure that Cluster Autoscaler is up and running. User can put it into kube-system namespace (Cluster Autoscaler doesn't scale down node with non-manifest based kube-system pods running on them) and mark with scheduler.alpha.kubernetes.io/critical-pod annotation (so that the rescheduler, if enabled, will kill other pods to make space for it to run).

Right now it is possible to run Cluster Autoscaler on:
