What
Install and configure the cluster autoscaler and configure appropriate limits
https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/tree/master/cluster-autoscaler/cloudprovider/aws
Why
So we can automate scaling up/down of cluster (within reason)
If we don't do this
SREs will have to closely monitor capacity, or over provision worker nodes
It's done when
- The worker node group scales up when capacity is required
- The worker node group scales down when capacity is free (maybe - this is a harder problem I suspect)
