An interesting article that explains how Karpenter works.

It does have flaws, though. Apart from useless footnotes, it doesn’t elaborate on how did they address the behavior, only some abstract suggestions, some of which kinda contradict what Karpenter actually is.

Spoiler: their fix is a separate node pool. You can learn it from this thread on Reddit.

Otherwise, it’s a good article and a good thread.
