Starting with v0.15.0, Karpenter will automatically consolidate Kubernetes cluster workloads onto new EC2 instances to help increase utilization and lower cluster compute costs. Karpenter is a flexible, high-performance Kubernetes cluster autoscaler that helps improve application availability, operational overhead, and cluster compute utilization by launching new EC2 instances that are best fit to the scale, scheduling, and resource requirements of the workloads in a cluster. Customers can use Karpenter with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) or any conformant Kubernetes cluster.
