Installing Karpenter on an Existing EKS Cluster

[@Ronaldoroot]

I wonder why the new node was created with an ec2 c7a.medium and not t3.medium?

[@10serendipity]

Detailed video. Thank you!
Can it be installed using provisioner instead of nodepool or is it deprecated?

[@FastTrackTechEd]

Yes it deprecated, better to use provisioner

How did the new node created in existing node group even though you updated karpenter.yaml node affinity to point to node group name ?

[@FastTrackTechEd]

By design the Karpenter pods are running within the managed node group, but the nodes created by Karpenter are not running in any node group.

I'm using karpenter but I'm getting some downtime for my services during consolidation of nodes.
Is there anyway to get 0 downtime for pods managed by karpenter

[@FastTrackTechEd]

You can use "topologySpreadConstraints" if your application has multiple pods.

Very good
