kubernetes-ec2-autoscaler

kubernetes-ec2-autoscaler is a node-level autoscaler for Kubernetes on AWS EC2 that is designed for batch jobs. Kubernetes is a container orchestration framework that schedules Docker containers on a cluster, and kubernetes-ec2-autoscaler can scale AWS Auto Scaling Groups based on the pending job queue.

The key features are:

• Scaling on flexible resource requirements: the autoscaler determines the resources it needs from the pending job queue, and scales up the appropriate ASGs while respecting job constraints such as node selectors
• Multi-Region Support: the autoscaler can detect scaling errors and overflow to secondary AWS regions
• Draining nodes on scale in: the autoscaler makes sure to not kill in-flight jobs
