Astro has introduced the Kubernetes (K8s) Executor, now available in Private Preview, allowing users to select this option in the Astro UI when creating a deployment. Users can easily switch an existing deployment to the Kubernetes Executor, and different deployments within a workspace or cluster can run on various executors. The K8s Executor offers benefits such as task isolation by running each task in its own Kubernetes Pod, eliminating dependency conflicts and noisy neighbor issues, and allowing for specific CPU and memory resource requests per task. Additionally, it simplifies operations with auto-scaling task pods, removing the need for configuring concurrency. Existing customers interested in accessing the Private Preview can contact the Astro team, while those interested in learning more are encouraged to schedule a demo.
