Acs-Engine-Autoscaler

kubernetes-acs-engine-autoscaler is a node-level autoscaler for Kubernetes for clusters created with acs-engine.

Kubernetes is a container orchestration framework that schedules Docker containers on a cluster, and kubernetes-acs-autoscaler can scale based on the pending job queue.

The autoscaler can be run anywhere as long as it can access the Azure and Kubernetes APIs, but the recommended way is to set it up as a Kubernetes Pod.

Windows Machine Pools

Currently, node pools with Windows machines are not supported. If a Windows pool is part of the deployment the autoscaler will fail even for scaling Linux-based node pools.
