You sit down to &ldquo;just run a workload,&rdquo; and somehow you&rsquo;re back in the console hand-crafting a node pool: pick a machine type, set min and max, decide on Spot or on-demand, wire up taints and labels, and pray you guessed the shape right. Then traffic changes, or that machine family runs out of capacity in your zone, and you&rsquo;re back doing it again.</p>
