Hi all,

As I mentioned yesterday during the SIG Autoscaling meeting as part of the ongoing efforts to make kube-scheduler workload aware, we've been working on an proposal to better integrate scheduling and cluster autoscaling.

We've outlined a high-level architecture and the roles of three core integration APIs (Potential Capacity API, Pod Scheduling Preferences API, and Capacity Provisioning API) in the following document: Workload Aware-Scheduler Cluster Autoscaling.

These APIs aim to enable more transparent and cost-aware provisioning by giving the scheduler visibility into potential capacity and a mechanism to explicitly request it.

We would greatly appreciate your feedback, insights, and concerns on this proposal. Please feel free to add comments directly in the document.

Thanks!

Jack Francis
