In this interview, Nathan Taber, Head of Product for AWS Kubernetes and Container Registries, discusses:
- How to implement effective *over-provisioning strategies* by balancing availability and efficiency based on workload types and scaling requirements
- The advantages of *Karpenter* over traditional auto-scaling tools, including its ability to optimize compute resources and support *heterogeneous node fleets*
- Why *Kubernetes upgrades* require a structured approach with dedicated resources, testing procedures, and proper planning to manage breaking changes
