Kubernetes Groupless Node Autoscaling w/ Karpenter

This month we'll feature a talk by Brandon Wagner on using Karpenter, an open source project that takes a groupless approach to scaling.

**Brandon Wagner - Kubernetes Groupless Node Autoscaling w/ Karpenter**
Containers and clustering systems like Kubernetes (K8s) have allowed infrastructure engineers to abstract away the underlying hardware or "cloudware" like VMs, storage, and networking. However, there is still a divide in the infrastructure components needed to create and operate a cluster and how an application developer interacts with the cluster control plane. For K8s nodes, this often involves pre-provisioning autoscaling groups or VM scale sets and then using the K8s Cluster-Autoscaler to interact with these groups. Brandon will present a new K8s-native node autoscaling open source project called Karpenter that takes a groupless approach to scaling and aims to empower application developers and infrastructure engineers alike.

Brandon Wagner is a Software Engineer at AWS working on EC2, EKS, and OSS. For the past 2 years he has been focused on Kubernetes and is a core maintainer of the Karpenter project and the AWS Node Termination Handler. Before that, Brandon worked on DNS resolvers, cyber security, and fire risk management software.

We have room for one more talk so please submit your idea!

We also love it if your company wants to sponsor food (pizza/tacos/bbq). You can give a quick 5 minute pitch/demo at the start of the meetup.
