Karpenter is an [[Open source]] [[Kubernetes]] [[Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler|cluster autoscaler]] developed by [[AWS]]. It automatically provisions and terminates compute resources (like [[Amazon EC2|EC2]] instances) to ensure that pods in your Kubernetes cluster have the resources they need, when they need them.
I tried [[Deploying Karpenter on GCP]] but was unsuccessful.
