# SKS: Karpenter Autoscaling Integration (Public Preview)

<p class=""><b>We’re bringing next-generation Kubernetes autoscaling to Exoscale, now in Public Preview.</b></p><p class="">Our new <b>Karpenter integration </b>brings advanced, real-time autoscaling to Exoscale Kubernetes clusters. It automatically provisions and removes compute or GPU nodes as demand changes, improving efficiency and reducing idle costs.</p><div class="medium-insert-images"><figure class="">

<figcaption>Source:<a rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://karpenter.sh/" target="_blank"> Karpenter</a></figcaption></figure></div><p class="">The integration extends Exoscale’s existing autoscaling to full node lifecycle management, delivering hyperscaler-level scalability within a sovereign European cloud. </p><p class="">Karpenter automatically selects the optimal instance type for each workload, supports GPU-based AI and ML use cases, and scales clusters down to zero when idle, so users pay only for the resources they use.</p><p class="">Based on the open source Karpenter project, this add-on is included in <a href="https://www.exoscale.com/pricing/#sks" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">SKS PRO Cluster</a> at no additional cost.</p><div class="medium-insert-images"><figure class="">
