Cluster Autoscaling

Automatic node scaling for Cozystack management clusters using Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler.

The cluster-autoscaler system package enables automatic node scaling for Cozystack management clusters. It monitors pending pods and automatically provisions or removes cloud nodes based on demand.

Before configuring autoscaling, complete the Networking Mesh and Local CCM setup.

Cozystack provides pre-configured variants for different cloud providers:

  • Hetzner Cloud – scale using Hetzner Cloud servers
  • Azure – scale using Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets

Each variant is deployed as a separate Cozystack Package with provider-specific configuration.

Cluster Autoscaler for Hetzner Cloud

Configure automatic node scaling in Hetzner Cloud with Talos Linux.

Cluster Autoscaler for Azure

Configure automatic node scaling in Azure with Talos Linux and VMSS.
