Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a powerful tool for managing Kubernetes clusters in the cloud. One of its standout features is Cluster Autoscaler, which dynamically adjusts the number of nodes in a cluster based on the resource demands of your workloads. For organizations aiming to minimize costs, particularly with intermittent workloads, configuring Cluster Autoscaler to scale self-managed nodegroups to zero is a game-changer.

In this podcast, we’ll explore how to leverage EKS Cluster Autoscaler for self-managed node groups, enabling zero-node scaling to save costs when workloads are idle.
