EKS Module: Swap out for Karpenter
Is it possible to use https://karpenter.sh/ once my Reference Architecture has been delivered with the EKS on EC2 module? > Karpenter is an open-source node provisioning project built for Kubernetes. Karpenter improves the efficiency and cost of running workloads on Kubernetes clusters by: Watching for pods that the Kubernetes scheduler has marked as unschedulable Evaluating scheduling constraints (resource requests, nodeselectors, affinities, tolerations, and topology spread constraints) requested by the pods Provisioning nodes that meet the requirements of the pods Removing the nodes when the nodes are no longer needed --- <ins datetime="2022-09-20T16:15:06Z"> <p><a href="https://support.gruntwork.io/hc/requests/109271">Tracked in ticket #109271</a></p> </ins>
We currently do not support Karpenter as an option for the worker nodes. There is [a feature ticket in `terraform-aws-eks`]( https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terraform-aws-eks/issues/379) that you can follow for progress on implementing this.
