K8s NodeSet Managing Worker Nodes with Kubernetes

on YouTube ↗37m

" summary

Introduces a Kubernetes-native way to provision worker machines using a NodeClass resource and a NodeSet controller that speaks to cloud APIs via Docker Machine drivers (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, Packet/OpenMetal, OpenStack or bare metal). Demonstrates kubectl scaling from 1 to 21 nodes, integrates with autoscaling logic so nodes are created and deleted to match replicas and HPA pressure, and publishes the implementation as open source on GitHub where it already works in the demo.
