## Introduction

Karpenter is an open-source node provisioning project built for Kubernetes.

Karpenter improves the efficiency and cost of running workloads on Kubernetes clusters 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

* **Removing** the nodes when the nodes are no longer needed

## How it works

Karpenter observes the aggregate resource requests of unscheduled pods and makes decisions to launch and terminate nodes to minimize scheduling latencies and infrastructure cost.
