Fixed
- Karpenter scales the Substrate worker pool again (giantswarm/agent-platform#798). The meta chart derived the workers’ affinity to the atelet on their node as a required term; Karpenter cannot see a DaemonSet’s pods on a node it has not launched, so a worker that fit no existing node stayed
Pendingfor good (unsatisfiable topology constraint for pod affinity), the pool stayed below its desired size and the pool’s nodes were never consolidated. The derived term is now preferred (weight 100): a worker still goes where an atelet is bound whenever such a node has room, and Karpenter launches a node when none has.
