# SKS: Karpenter autoscaling integration is now Generally Available

<p class="">We’re happy to announce that the Karpenter autoscaling integration for Exoscale Scalable Kubernetes Service (SKS) is now Generally Available.</p>

<p class="">With this release, Exoscale becomes the first European cloud provider to offer a fully integrated Karpenter experience for managed Kubernetes, enabling modern, workload-aware autoscaling for production environments.</p>

<p class=""><b>Why move beyond traditional autoscaling?</b></p>

<p class="">Karpenter doesn’t just scale, it optimizes, provisioning the exact compute resources needed in real time.</p>

<ul>
  <li><p class=""><b>Simplified autoscaling:</b> No manual node pool configuration.</p></li>
  <li><p class=""><b>Continuous auto-healing:</b> Automatic replacement of unhealthy nodes.</p></li>
  <li><p class=""><b>Cost efficiency:</b> Reduced overprovisioning and lower cloud costs.</p></li>
</ul>

<p class="">This provides a powerful, sovereign foundation for elastic workloads like AI pipelines, CI/CD, and high-traffic applications, all while keeping your data strictly within European infrastructure.</p>

<p class="">Ready to streamline your Kubernetes operations?</p>
