KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2024

The last year’s been an exciting time for SIG Autoscaling, with Karpenter being accepted as a subproject just before Kubecon NA 2023, work to support more advanced workload types for operators, and more. Come along to hear about: Karpenter’s first year as a SIG Subproject - what’s happened over the last year, and what we’ve got planned for the next year. Dynamic Resource Allocation - how the SIG is involved in k8s’ efforts to make it easier for users to run cost effective and efficient workloads requiring GPUs and other custom resources. Provisioning Requests and Pod & Node Headroom - new APIs planned for the Cluster Autoscaler and Karpenter to support long standing requests for improved support for batch workloads and from cluster operators. Improvements in the SIG’s processes - the SIG’s been hard at work improving and extending our use of k8s’ test infra, expanding our test coverage, as well as improving our release processes over the last year.
