🆕 What’s New in Ksctl v2.2.1?

Now Instance types are categorized based on the workload

No need to know which instancetype falls under which category. Just select the category and ksctl will take care of the rest.

Here is the new categorization of instance types wrt to the cluster type you have selected:

  • Self managed
    • Controlplane: ComputeIntensive
    • Etcd: MemoryIntensive
    • Loadbabalancer: GeneralPurpose
    • WorkerNode: User defined (ComputeIntensive | MemoryIntensive | GeneralPurpose | Burstable)
  • Managed
    • Controlplane: Managed so no option
    • WorkerNode: User defined (ComputeIntensive | MemoryIntensive | GeneralPurpose | Burstable)

All these will help increase the performance and also reduce the cost of the cluster.
