Summary

The Nomad Autoscaler has introduced new plugins and capabilities to simplify consistent autoscaling across cloud providers, enabling automated application and cluster scaling of Nomad workloads and infrastructure. The new plugins include APM, strategy, and target plugins that expand the use cases for autoscaling, allowing for more precise control over scaling policies. The Autoscaler also includes a fixed-value strategy, which provides a simple mechanism to define a baseline for infrastructure, and a pass-through strategy, which allows for external calculations of scaling actions. Additionally, the Autoscaler introduces a threshold strategy, which defines tiers with upper and lower bound values and takes action based on metric crossings. Furthermore, the Autoscaler now offers better cluster scale-in control through node selector strategies, allowing for more flexible client selection mechanisms.
