If your workload requires scheduling on nodes with specific labels, it is required to configure Exostellar Karpenter NodePool so nodes are created with needed labels in the autoscaling process. To ensure that Exostellar Karpenter provisions nodes with the appropriate labels, you need to update the NodePool configuration with the following command: 

...

Code Block
languageyaml
apiVersion: karpenter.sh/v1beta1
kind: NodePool
metadata:
  name: pool-a
spec:
  limits:
    cpu: "400"
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        jobtype: batch
        nodeFamily: c5
    spec:
      nodeClassRef:
        name: pool-a
      requirements:
      - key: topology.kubernetes.io/zone
        operator: In
        values:
        - us-east-1a
      resources: {}
status: {}

Step 3: Submitting the

...

Pod

After modifying the pod YAML file, submit the job to the EKS Cluster just like you would run a regular pod:

Code Block
languagebash
kubectl apply -f my-nginx.yaml

...

Exostellar Karpenter will automatically bring up the node that is suitable for your request, to check the new node that has been added:

Code Block
languagebash
kubectl get nodes -A

The created node has x-compute as part of the name.

Code Block
languagebash
NAME                                            STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
ip-192-0-128-xxx.us-east-2.x-compute.internal   Ready    <none>   40s   v1.29.3-eks-ae9a62a

Scaling your Workloads

...

Step 1: Modifying the Workload YAML File

Similar to the above, here is an example workload YAML file:

Code Block
languageyaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: my-nginx
  annotations:
    karpenter.sh/do-not-disrupt: "true"
spec:
  replicas: 100
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: my-nginx
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: my-nginx
    spec:
      affinity:
        nodeAffinity:
          requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
            nodeSelectorTerms:
            - matchExpressions:
              - key: karpenter.sh/nodepool
                operator: In
                values:
                - pool-a
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: nginx:1.14.2
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80
        resources:
          requests:
            cpu: 1

Step 2: Submitting the Workload

After modifying the YAML file, submit the workload to the EKS Cluster:

Code Block
languagebash
kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml

Post-Submission Results

Exostellar Karpenter will automatically bring up all nodes required for your request as above. To check the deployment status:

Code Block
languagebash
kubectl get deployment -A

You will see:

Code Block
languagebash
NAMESPACE     NAME        READY     UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
default       my-nginx    100/100   100          100         6m3s

To check all created pods:

Code Block
languagebash
kubectl get pod -A
