Hey Shim, where can i find the files that were created by you for reference?

[@gonzariosm]

Hey Shim, really great video :) If I've some Affinity, is this evaluated by Karpeter to spin more nodes?

[@TiggyProph]

Yeah it will take that into account. You can use it to select for different provisioners with varying configurations.

How fast can it scale? what happens when you have a huge spike in usage/compute/networking?

[@ShimOnOps]

as seen in video, Karpenter is very fast to react to scaling events :)

this video is just to show how you install the things yourself not for everyone. Useless!
