Karpenter is an open-source node provisioning project built for Kubernetes. Its goal is to improve the efficiency and cost of running workloads on Kubernetes clusters. Karpenter works by:

• Watching for pods that the Kubernetes scheduler has marked as unschedulable
• Evaluating scheduling constraints (resource requests, nodeselectors, affinities, tolerations, and topology spread constraints) requested by the pods
• Provisioning nodes that meet the requirements of the pods
• Scheduling the pods to run on the new nodes
• Removing the nodes when the nodes are no longer needed

For most use cases, a cluster’s capacity can be managed by a single Karpenter Provisioner. However, you can define multiple Provisioners, enabling use cases like isolation, entitlements, and sharding. Provisioner requirements are layered with pod requirements to launch a node with the right properties, including taints, labels, availability zone, instance type, operating system, and more.
