I’m a Product Manager on GKE, and I spend a lot of my time with platform teams who are tired of the node pool tax. You sit down to “just run a workload,” and somehow you’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’re back doing it again.
