Question

[dezren39]

Hi! Is this functional? I saw placeholder and limited commits and the discussion here and so was unsure:

https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/1950/kubernetes-autoscaler-xen-api-xo-api
https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/5939/how-to-kubernetes-on-xcp-ng-csi/6

Autoscaler may be able to do what I need and I hadn't notice it before. :-)
Is autoscaler likely going to be the best recommended way to manage orchestrator from k8s?

I was in search of something that might be named

cluster-api-provider-xenorchestra

but I don't know that that exists yet? Maybe I should make a forum post instead.

Example:
https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-vsphere
https://github.com/openshift/cluster-api-provider-libvirt
https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/
http://packages.shapeblue.com/cluster-api-provider-cloudstack/images/xen/

I'm unsure if xen can handle the full cluster-api I have only really used the most basic features, I want to run and automatically rebuild/scale vm nodes of talos that will automatically register themselves into the network, but i need a way to tell kubernetes to tell xen what to do.

The hope being that I could say, automatically destroy 8 unused 2-core nodes (or automatically destroy/shrink cluster consistently), so that I could quickly spin up a 16 vcpu node for a different purpose like a specific batch load triggers or something.

This is a community initiative we are gladly welcome and assist as far as we can. It should rely on Xen Orchestra API (as the central point) 👍

There's also some efforts made to create a node driver for Rancher.
